"Givo us back ur oloven days!" criod tho mob when the Gregorian calendar was Introduced Into Great Britain. From the days of Julius Caosar to our own, ho has been a bold reformer Indeed who would suggest changes In tho disorderly procession of tho months. Now en ters Moses D. Cotsworth of Victoria, I). 0., with a proposal for a rational calendar. Ho would divide tho yoar Into thirteen months, each of twen ty-eight days, which would leavo ono extra day In tho year, nnd this ho beautifully plnns as a freo day for ovory one freo from Interest charges on monoy, the necessity to work, tho wago scalo, etc. Then each month would commenco on Sun day and the first, eighth, flftconth nnd twonty-second days of each month would bo Sundays. President Iladloy of Yale Is quoted ns saying that tho month of four weeks "will como as n commercial necessity." Tho adjustment to tho change would bo very small comparod to that nec essitated when standard time was In troduced on transcontinental rail ways. Mr. Cotsworth has literature to distribute, poking fun at the pres ent system. If ho wins tho school children need no longer learn "Thirty days hath September."

Mnrshflold, Ore, ELECTRIC POWER SAVES MONEY IN VENTILA TING SCHOOLS Por supplying fresh air to school buildings, theaters, public halls and stores, central station electric power performs valuable work at small cost. Frederick ,T. Sporry, Superintendent of Public Schools at Mankato, Minnesota, made thorough tests of the cost of ventilation in the Mankato High School. A .-horsepower motor driving fans saved the school board $1.06 a day, ayd increased the ven tilating efficiency 21 per cent. The cost of ventilating with steam power (in con nection with the heating plant) was not less than $1.46 per day; the cost of central station current was only 40 cents per day. "This means," said Superintendent Sporry, "that at less than one-third the coal cost of run ning the engine we aro getting a very much better service." Superintendent Sporry will bo glad to give any school board tho detailed result of his investiga tion. Tho subject of ventilation is important. We will send a representative to discuss the subject at your request. Telephone 178. '"i Oregon Power Co FLANAGAN & BENNETT BANK MARSHFIELD, OREGON. At tho close of business, Feb. SO, 1012.
