EFFICIENCY MARCHES ON ! i, - .Efficiency is almighty machine that gains momentum as it progresses. Its gigantic growth in industry in thp last twenty-five years makes us wonder what miracles' the fu ture holds. , Between 1899 and 1925 the output of agricul tural products in the (United States increased' about 47per cent.' In that same period mining production increased 248 per ent, and that of manufacturers 178 per cent, while the volume of railway Service increased by 199 per cent. The weighted total for these four'branches, according to Bureau of Commerce statiscians, shows an increase of 140 per cent for the quarter centory: Meantime population has grown only about 55 per cent, so that the per capita output rose also by 55 per cent. The causes are not difficult to find: : At the foundation lie the rich resources of the country, but there is something even more important energy and intelligence as shown by the producers! This energy and intelligence is reflected in education -and scientific research ; thousands of , inventions:; the growing use of mechanical power,' machinery and other forms of "capital ; the larger scale of production ; the effort to eliminate waste both in goods and labor; the high scale of wages and higher buying power, and the rela tive stability of money, prices and credit. But the basis for all these is energy, and that means hard work. ' j. .-.;(: o ( . r " A 'number of Massachusetts bankers have agroed to lend money to commercial houses, 'farmers and others in the flood-swept regions of Vermont, with only character as the collateral for the loans. . The funds so advanced will be of vast aid in tho east s program of rehabilitation. It is good to know that disaster meets such ready response from those who are able, to help. And suah funds will (return. ( Here and there-may, be a few .who ,wiU take advantage, pf ,the,pf ' tet, but they will prove the exception. The older J. P. Mor gan used to say thn;, character was the .best . collateral he granted, with never a dollar lost.' ' ' ' " ' i ' ' ; " " ' 1 , . o 'The Unipqua. Chiefs are' ''doing1 their .stuff" to give ;lh& bid city1 tho; Christmas' spirit. Tree decorations throughout ihn luminous Vftftlricl? have titan nea'tfv nrtaiiired. -i At -the in- ersec'tion of Cass and Jackson a big tree has been erected Hvhich will bo lighted electrically so.that Santa Onus might be enabled to place his gifts without any inconvenience dur ing the dark hours of the night. All together the work of the Chiefs is most commendable and will do a . lot to 'cheer up the natives in this section. i' o ' ;' Merchants who know their stuff are hitting tho bnfl (for Christmas business, a i)d they're gettliig their share in. generous chunks. The opportune time for advertising is lit. hand. Tho buying public is always eugen to know whore, their wants can be fulfilled and look to the columns of their home paper for this information. . ... 0 .Henry Ford has put his now car over exclusively through newspaper advertising. No other means were used. You can't fool Henry on anything. He realizes that the news paper is the best medium, as well as the least expensive, to reach the masses. There is no olhor way quite so good. . 0 . , Well, here's hoping that it will all be over by Thursday evening opening up for business Friday morning without a quarantine in effect. But, why not make the initial day Thursday. We don't take to Friday very strong for such an auspicious occasion. o '' The German Athletic Board refuses to M t)r. Otto Poltzer run in this country.

There were no new cases- of in fantile paralysis la Roseburg to day. The last case to be reported was on Saturday, so that the phy sicians are now of the opinion that ithere will probably be no new leases developing from the Initial Icon tact. While the quarantine is to 'remain effective until Friday morn 'Ing, yet it Is believed that the crisis 1b passed and that the situa tion is now very hopeful. There has been no change in the original ?plun to lift the quarantine Friday 'morning and unless some tiling un forseen arises there will be no restrictions Imposed after that date. The physicians will hold a meeting tomorrow night and will definitely decide upon their rec ommendations at that time. Whether or not schools will re open depends entirely upon the school board, it is stated. Chair man Geddea stated this morning that a meeting of the board has been called for Friday afternoon and that it will be decided then whether schools will be opened on the 19th or not. There Is some sentiment against opening schools on the grounds that the attendance will probably be light, due to the fact that niauy parents will not send their children to school regardless of the lifting of the quarantine, while many also believe it useless to re sume school for only a period of one week, as the Christmas holi days will then be given. 1 On the other hand, it Is felt that the one week will give ample time to catch up on the review work, by going over the period covered , by tho home assignments and that! tchool can then get away to a good start after tho first of the year. It is ulso contended that the child ren will bo better off in school than loose on the streets, Bo that i . , , , , i i tlhe school board has very definite : rf 'il IV W Problems for solution.
