"Bill" Thompson and the
Highway Commission.
Under Oregon's system the slutc
highway commissioners servo without
pay. In one way it seems wrong to
ask men to serve without cornpenaa
lion, and in another way it is about
the only way to pet the right kind of
men, for men who are big enough
would not rjuit their business and take
such a job. (''astern Oregon people arc
naturally much more interested in W.
1.. Thompson than f si other members
of the board, because our problems
and troubles are put up to him, and
be it snid that ''Hill" Thompson has
not violated a pledge nor mistreated
any section of tho country, lie has
demanded that counties help them
selves bioro they nk for state uld,
nnd In that he Is absolutely right. He
has insisted that petty jealousies be
overcome at homo before the matter
Is takon before the highway commis
sion. And in that he is right.
In fact, ''Hill" Thompson, as we nil
Know him, is making a good official.
He Is sacrificing a great deal for his
state, hnd this part of the stute is
very anxious that the legislature does
Hot tie tho hnnds of the commission to
urh an extent thnt Thompson, Benson
and Booth will resign. Such a thing Is
possible unless tho legislators use
judgment.
Now that the world covenant for
peace has been signed and Anierl
has played the greatest part in the
entire diama let us all settle down
end go to work. ' Let us begin to
breutlte freely once more nnd learn
again how to live in the good, old sim
pie way that brought pleasure and
contentment.
Hon t know whether Oregon enn
dand sixty days for a legislative ses
sion or not. The forty days and forty
nights consumed now seems to be quit?
a while to everyone, except Poor old
Salem, where the people live only for
the stale fair anil legislative business.

Cutting soldiers' pay lo $15 will not
have much effect on our boys, for they

It was a finest ion of snving

in no condition to tell of what had

the workers were too busy to ask. To

It Pays
To
Read
Adv
ertisements
yOU'VE often heard the saying, "It pays to advertise." That
is true. And it also pays to read advertisements pays you.
If you read advertisements consistently for any length of
.time you will agree that this statement is also true.
IT PAYS YOU IN MONEY SAVED. There are many real
bargains offered from time to time in the advertisements appear-
ing in this paper. Watch for them. '
IT PAYS YOU IN SATISFACTION. When a merchant
asks you to come. to his store he obligates himself to sell you dual
ity goods "as advertised." You have a riffht to expect satisfac-'
tion from what you buy and you get it.
IT PAYS YOU I NTIME SAVED. When you know exact
ly what you want to buy. and where you vtut to buy it you don't
have to "look around" and waste time finding it. "
o Don't YOU want to savemoney and time? Wouldn't you like
o to be sure.pf getting satisfactory service aad quality goods everv B
