Readers, 5 and 10c. per line Independence, Oregon, Friday, December 21, 1917 President Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural n o College has obtained an advance in salary under t , . ... circumstances which permit of the use of the word "camouflage" to designate the same. First, we have this announcement coming out of Corvaljis: "After carefully weighing all features entering into the offer from the Kansas Agricultural College and his present position as head of the Oregon institution Dr. W. J. Kerr announced that he will remain here. His salary ha? been ad vanced from $7,000 to $cS,K)() a year." But at least ten days before Dr. Kerr was given the increase in salary, H. W. Hoch, chairman of the board of administration of the Kansas Agri cultural College, declared to the Kansas City Star: ihis board lias made no oiler to Dr. Kerr. We have never discussed the presidency of the Kansas school with him. We never even asked him if he would like to have us consider him as a possible president." Before Dr. Kerr accepts the advance in salary from the people of Oregon, he ought to clearly explain this apparent deception. If he knew that lie had never been offered the Kansas presidency why did he remain silent while newspapers and friends over the state were demanding that he be kept here? If he cannot prove beyond a reason able doubt that Kansas did offer him the presi dency, he should not take an extra penny from the people of Oregon. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE In a wrecked and diurnal city, in a country far.away, Where a thousand homeless children Sob and cry this Christmas day; Where the godB of war are raging', Where the shells fall faBt and bright, In that land there are few pieacures And no bright candle Iighta tonight. There they tell the little children Of how Old Santa on his flight Met the Zepplina in the heavens. And they challenged him to fight; How the reindeer on the war clouds, Fought with him, fierce and fait, And after many hours of struggle, He defeated them at last. But, Old Santa was badly crippled And lost his gifts while in the fray, So he patched his team together And turned back upon hia way. When this cruel war is over And the world ia glad and bright, Old Santa will load up his sleigh And start out upon the night; Then, to all the little children, Who receive no gifts today. Old Santa will double up the presents, And the world will be twice as gay. -A. J. D. ! AT THE CHURCHES PRESL3VTKRIAIN Dr. H. C. Dunsmore, Pastor 10 a. m. Sunday school. H ft. m.

It has not proved to be what its exponents said it would be It is a benefit to the few rather than the many. It is apparent that the law is elastic enough to permit of manipula tion in the interest of those in the inner circle. Mainly, what its opponents said about it has proved true. An effort will be made to repeal it. It should be repealed. Doc Anderson of The Dalles has entered the gubernatorial race. Doc will get to the quarter pole about the time Ben Olcott is under the wire. 13 ART I ST Sunday school at 10. Services every Sunday morning and evening. U. Y. I'. U. at 7:00.
