NO MISERS WANTED EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT Probably the busiest small city in the west at the present time is Klamath Falls, Oregon, which condition has been brought about by various causes, the principle one being, how ever, the commencement of construction of the new Strahorn railroad, but other factors which have tended to create an un precedented degree of prosperity in this city is the impetus given the lumber business of late through the remarkable de mand and price of lumber at the present time. The great as sistance given the Strahorn railroad by Klamath Falls is a splendid example of public spirit in the West. This little city with a population of about 5000 has invested $500,000 in the new railroad. 1 he ettort put torth by such a comparatively small number of people there to accomplish such a wonderful result has been heroic in the highest degree and is a remarkable display of purpose, enterprise and self-help. If the coopera tion and energy shown by the business men of Klamath Falls in obtaining this new railroad is any criterion of the real spirit of the etizens of Klamath Falls, there should be no doubt as to the future of thia city with its immense tributary territory and natural resources.

He will use his brains to decide where he can save without inj'ury, and at the same time where and how to go on spending and buying. This is the job which the National Economy Board, ap pointed by the president, is trying to do for the whole country. The Board wants to keep business moving, but it says there must be some adjustments. For instance, the American peo ple are now paying ten per cent on every purchase they make, for the luxury of having their goods delivered. The national board says we should have fewer unnecessary deliveries, and storekeepers will doubtless be glad to accept this. The trouble will come in getting the people to put up with the change, after 20 years when women in cities have had every spool of thread delivered by wagon. Also the national board wants us to learn more about the use of cotton in woolen goods. Our standard has been "all wool," while countries like England have learned to use more cotton than we do, and still make more durable garments than ours. With a wool shortage that may reach 1 00,000,000 pounds next year, we must mend our methods. Finally, in all lines of goods, there must be fewer fancy styles and more dependable staples. In ways like this we shall be economiz ing, but not injuring or destroying business.

Why have so many of the strangers within our gates re mained aliens? According to Rear Admiral Goodrich, the two chief reasons are: First, the teaching of a foreign lang uage in our public schools, and second, the existence of a for eign language press, which has kept alive an alien spirit in its readers.
