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. '

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

Hvhich will bo lighted electrically so.that Santa Onus might
be enabled to place his gifts without any inconvenience dur

You can't fool Henry on anything. He realizes that the news

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

Physicians Greatly Encour
aged by Fact No New
Cases School May
Reopen 19th.
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.

So, off he went, and Clowny'
cried, "I think these carts should
all be tiled to see that they are
fixed up right. Gome on, let's have

work to do. We'll leave the trying

them for twenty years and Christ

now without them and a photo

What do you know about that!
You Tcnow wlton I first began
carrying Christmas Seals there
wasn't anything In this country
that made it so hard for me to
bring Joy to everybody as tubercu
losis did. All the children that
didn't have fathers! And all the
children that didn't have mothers!
It was enough to break your heart!
Now it Isn t half so bad not j

am going Into more than 3000
homes this very Christmas right
here in Oregon where somebody
has tuberculosis. You see the
trouble Is we haven't had enough
Christmas Seals around here other
years because Christmas Seals
pay for preventive work. Tubercu
losis can be cured and It can be
prevented aud that is the big joy
of the little Christmas seal to car
ry a little health message to every
body eo everybody will kndw.
And, right here in Roseburg,
and after school hours In an effort
to 'earn the little liealth Cross.
Santa Claus is making a grand ef
fort to give the children all the
credit for what thoy have done
when they were free to get out on
the streets and work for the pre

own home town, for he knows full
well that next year they will he
with him again and doing their

And, then! Oh, Blitzcn, won't we

But give mo the rest of thoso

don't bring me a siimle package

little happy smile came twinkling
back around his eyes again as ho
gathered up his reins and was off.
