SOAIUNO XKWSPAPKH COST Widespread movements to raise advertising rates aro reported from among newspapers all over the coun try. The newspapers felt the riso In prices as quickly ps anyone, hut they have been rather slow to de mand corresponding advance in in come. Some publishers have taken too modest a view of their own import ance If they are printing good news papers, their product Is just as es sential to the community as anything else. The people will nover be sat isfied to dispense with newspapers. The business man can't without see ing their home towns go down and their business decline. If all business men realized the use they might make of advertising to draw In new trade, many newspa pers could be successfully financed with much increase in rates. New ark (O.- Advocate. Eut they doi't. And anotsor thing; the public doesn't realize how absurdly cheap they get their weekly: paper, 52 times a yeas. And, of course, this applies to the dailies in tho cities. Even In the old days when white print paper was cheap, the price of the newspaper was ridiculously low Nobody bought any other neiesaity as cheaply And now, when the cost of white print paper has soareu to the very skies, when all costs In even the smallest newspaper office have advanced to unheard of figures, and with the publisher's own dollar worth less than 50 cents to him when he goes to the grocer and the butcher. Isn't It time for the newspa per reader to view absolutely neces sary increases In subscription rates with sympathy? Benton County Courier. HAS 200-MII.K KA(;U In his development of a rocket for uso in warfare which was invented by Robert H. Ooddard, professor of physics at Clark colleg', the doctor was acting under the patronage of the war department, tho Smlthson ian institution, Clark university and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, which is reported to bo a terrible engine of war, with an altitude rnnge of at least 200 miles. At tho ending of tho war some of these wore bolus built for trial on tho battlefield, bui the signing of the armistice prevent ed. The Goddard rocket Is propelled by a perfected gas engine, installed in the lower part of the shell, the ex plosions which generate tho power coming from cartridges which are ,fod Into tho chamber by a clockllkc time device. The range of the rock et is limited only by the amount of propelling cartridges It could bo fit ted to carry. The rccket does not require a cannon to start it on its flight, its journey being started from any point which a man can reach. Hardly a day passes but bo.ih. mi.l "". '' .'H'lrrnHMnnK. . . I. . ..

Aim :.:., t or i s?"A 1,11 li VW A XEW IJBRARY The suggestion that the city and the citizens of the town erect and maintain a public library appears to us to be a step in the right direction. St. Helens needs such an institution. It la not our Intention to discredit the efforts of the public spirited women of St. Helens through wnose etrorts the present library is main tained. It waa through their faith . ful work and In rany cases, self sacri fices that a library was made pos sible and has been maintained. .The burden of the work should not, how ever, fall upon them all together A good publis library is pust as much the city's business as Is a public school. Both of them are education al Institutions and at the present time, perhaps n'ore than ever before, do we need ed ication A St Helens Public Library own ed and operatad by the city, perhaps under the dlrestion of a committee from the Chamber of Commerce and the Womans Club, would add further prestige to tho city. The idea of having a combination rest room, community house and library to gether, would fill a long felt want and the Mist hopes that a definite plan of action in tl'.'.s rega-d avIU be outlined and carried to a successful culmination. PLEADS FOR EDUCATION" Mr. S. C. Morton, Editor St. Helens Mist, St. Helens, Oregon My dear Mr. Morton: My attention has just been called to the hearty support which you are giving to tho higher educational re lief bill and I want to let you know that it Is appreciated. The crisis Is really acute at the higher educational institutions and relief must, be secured as speedily as possible. It Is just a question, it seems to me, as to whether Oregon is going to take a first rate or a second rato position in Pacific Coast matters. A groat Immigration is coming to the Coast, and the Btato must be In a position to attract the best class of families. If the higher educational institutions are not ade quately supported, we Bhall undoubt edly lose to Washington and Califor nia. The most Important argument, however, is of course, tho duty that we all have of taking the right care of our own sons and daughters. Tho statement made by Mr. Fisher, min ister of education' in England in sup port of a bill greatly Increasing ex penditures for education in England that "education is the eternal debt which maturity owes to youth" is u profoundly true one. In the face of enormous war expenditures, England mado the heaviest appropriations in her history for popular education It is both an investment and a safe guard for civilization. Again thanking you for your deep interest and hearty support, I re main, Very sincerely yours, R. C. CAMPBELL. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS .sr. Helens rout Kpar-r-xv Via.

But they are not Genuine Ford parts made by the Ford Motor Company They are made by concerns who have no connection whatsoever with tho Ford Motor Company. These Imi tation parti are not even made from the same grado of tteel, orz under the tame formulas used by the Fotd Company. They are counterfeit parts. Tests have shown them to break when the genuine Ford parts didn't even bend, and they are from thirty-five to one hundred per cent lower in quality. The Authorized Ford Dealers are your protection. As such, we handle nothing but the Genuine Ford parts. They are made from the famous Ford Vanadium Steel and each part according to Its use Is heat-treated In the way that will give It the longest wearing qualities.
