The Best Advice
On Lumber Costs
The least Money
and when we say to prospect
ive homebuilders that "now's
the time to build" we are offer
ing you really sound advice.
No matter what you have
heard about cheapet lumber,
take it from us that you're on
the safe aide if you build right
now. We haven't been in the
lumber business for these
niiui.v years for nothing we
know a thing Or t wo and we're
willing to admit you do too,
but in the face of all this talk
nowadays about timber conser
vation we believe you'll agree
that lumber has a fixed value
and that by delaying the build
ing of your new home you
will gain nothing but incon
venience.
We believe we can convince
you the above is good advice
let's talk it over.

Tuesday's Election in
Box Butte County
To use a stereotyped expression.
election passed off quietly In Box
Butte county, and the same may be
said of the entire campaign. Too
many times In local election candi
dates and 1 heir friends become so
anxious io succeed that they resort
to means to secure votes for Uielr
favorites nnd to take votes away
from thoae whom they wish to de
feat, that they resort to means t Mat
even they themselves nre afterwards
ashamed of. But the campaign la
Box Butte county this year wan prac
tically free from anything of this
kind except perhaps uoUl the cloo,
when some tactics were omployodv
flint were not above criticism, but
The Herald will not stop to mention
at this time what these tactics were
or to criticise them.
As Is usual in local elections
where a number of officers are to
be chosen, there were some surpris
es. The greatest surprise of this
election was the vote on candidates
for county clerk. It was generally
conceded that the republicans hail a
strong candidate and one well worthy
to discharge the duties of the office,
hut it was also generally conceded
