“BUILD A BUILDING.”
“Build a Building.”
That should be the slogan in New
port during the coming spring and
summer months. And there’s a reas
on, and a good one.
No building other than that which
is absolutely necessary has been done
during the past year owing to govern
ment restrictions. But now the
United States government itself is
behind the “Build a Building” move
ment.
For the benefit o fits many readers
who will want to make building plans
during the next few months, the Inde
pendent has established a new Home
Building department. It will be
found on another page of this issue,
being subscribed to by some of our
livest business men. Much valuable
information is obtainable in this page
We do not hesitate to state that it
is nothing short of a idsgraee that a
condition has presented itself in New
port as a result of which not a single
dwelling can be had by persons who
are eager to locate in our city.
By their failure to build suitable
dwellings in Newport enterprising
citizens are overlooking an opportun
ity to realize on the investment. It
is apparent that there will be no
dearth of either materials or labor
for the building that is necessary
during the next year or two. As a
matter of fact, too, the advance in the
cost of building during the last few
years has been far less than in almost
any other line, and incomes have in
creased in a much greater proportion.
Let’s wake up, people of Newport,
and remove the bad conditioris that
has been caused by lack of dwelling
accommodations here. Old man pros
perity is passing around his grapes
now. If we sit still and live to our
selves in the fear that somebody else
is going to get a bigger share of the
fruit, Newport will stand still and
suffer a general loss. This does not
finply merely to our lack of building
accommodations, but to everything
else that goes to represent a progres
sive citizenship and a little city that
is anxious to grow bigger.

There will be a meeting of the

School Superintendent Garland E.
Land of Tuckerman was a caller at
the Independent office today and in
formed us that the condition of Wes
ley Shaver, one of the county’s best

tives and friends. A few months
ago Mr. Shaver suffered a severe at
tack of influenza, from which he
never fully recovered, and now he is
afflicted with pneumonia and appen
dicitis.
Mrs. Carrie Van Pelt, who made
her home for several years with her
brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. B. F.
Whitaker, who resided on Laurel

home dn Muskogee, Oklahoma, last
Friday afternoon and was buried j
there by the side of the late Will
Whitaker late Saturday afternoon.
The deceased was an excellent Chris
tian woman and her friends of her
ormer home regret very much to
know of her death.

I why
is the
.00 Cash Prizes for the best answers
You never saw me. folks, did you, without the famous kettle on my tail?
Everybody wonders why it’s there. Well I’ve never told the secret yet, but now I m going
to give everybody who reads this a chance to guess it, and at the same tune win one of a
number of liberal money prizes. Come one, come all!-Help solve the great mystery!
Here’s how to win®
First, there’s no string on this contest. Anybody
interested in horses or mules is urged to send in an
answer. All 1 ask is that you don’t use mere than
100 words, and that you be sure to mention
“Checkerboard Bags’’ (in which Purina Feeds are
always packed). Now, don’t be afraid—come Oil
in everybody! The best answers take the prizes—
regardless of fancy language or swell handwriting.
Plain “Horse Sense” ideas on a post card'may win.
Second, sign your name plainly, and also tell me
the name of your feed dealer.
Third, mail your guess on or before National Maud
Purina Day. That is February 25th. —I selected
it specially because my favorite feed, Punna
O-Molene, saves my owner 25% of his feed.
Purina O-Molene is wonderful feed for mules and
horses. I know, ’cause I’m a mule myself. It is
economical, because I like it, and assimilate all of
it that 1 eat. I never have trouble digesting all of
A
my O-Molenc. Also, it makes me husky and
healthy, so that I can do more work for my owner.
