The farmer la entitled to his vaca torn and Ins business should be so cou ducted that uuuual vacations are a recognized necessity. The question was raised in the last issue of The Souliuel as tu the average investment iu farms in this section. Census figures have just been given out showiug the average value of farms of the entire uatiou to be $12, 000 apiece. It is probable that the average here falls under that figure and the probabilities are that $10,000 would fully cover tho average mvest meut iu farms iu this sertiou.

Only by visiting many camps does one learn o f the abuse of camps b> those using them. The large majority, of course, appreciate the efforts made for their comfort but the few who abuse every privilege, who seemingly make every possible effort to leave things as unsanitary as possible, who hog everything in sight, are sufficient in number to greatly discourage those who try to make things pleasant for these very same people.

J. HEM, PROP. COTTAGE GROVE There is one thing the elimination of which would seriously affect every com munity— the elimination of electric ser vice. Tacoma girls have declared against tho waist which shows the camisole. Not having any positive information, we presume that the camisole reports inside the diaphragm. In such case it seems reasonable that the Tacoma girls have decided that what they show out side is enough. Their camisoles shonld be their own anyway. W h o would settle in a district lighted by gas or oil— a district where there is no power, where a motor is useless, where a washing machine is without value, where transportation is lacking? Can you imagine yourself living in such a community when you can live where electricity brings comfort to living? No! Neither can anyone else. Boost the Public Utilities; don’t turn your community to one which prosperity will undoubtedly pass without pausing.
