realization of what man is.
Ths sources of the state of mind which supports civilization are edu
cation and religion. We hold by the modem standards of society. We
believe in maintaining modern civilization for the protection and support
of free government and the development of the economic welfare.
The great teat of an institution is the ability to perpetuate itself. It
seems fairly plain that these institutions can survive with the aid of
higher education. Without it they have not the slightest chance.
We justify the greater and greater accumulation of capital because
we believe that thereupon flows the support of all science, art, learning
and the charities which minister to the humanities of life, all carrying
their beneficent effects to the people as a whole.
Unless thia ia measurably true, our system of civilisation ought to
stand condemned.

LENTS STATION, PORLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921
To loan a |1000 Liberty bond to a
friend to us as collateral in a busi
ness deal and then to hsve the friend
loie the bond from hi* pocket was
the unpleasant experience this week
[ of John H. Donaldson, or "John D”,
the local grocer, as he is known to
Lent* people.
Mr. Donaldson had the bond in his
ssfe^eposit box in the Multnomah
State Bank, where it had securely
rested since he purchased it several
weeks ago. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Itonaldson took it from the box and
the borrower placed it in his insid •
coat pocket among some other pa
per. and boarded the car for Port
land.
After transacting business
along Front street the gentleman
went to his home in one of the other
suburbs of the city. About 7 o'clock
that evening it occurred to him to
look for the bond and see if it was
where he had placed it. To his sur
prise and dismay, it was not there
and Mr. Donaldson was immediately
notified-
The matter was reported to the po
lice detective bureau and steps taken
at once to prevent the lost bond from
b<-ing disposed of.
The police are
said to be of the opinion that the
man's pocket was not picked, and that
the bond will be eventually recovered
John D.’s hope* rose with a jump
Tuesday evening when his telephone
rang and a man's voice inquired if he
had advertised a lost bond. Upon be
ing assured that he had, the interrog
ator wanted to know what steps had
been taken to prevent it from being
negotiated, saying he had lost 4200 i"
a like manner some time ago and he
was anxious to know how he could
prevent an unlawful possessor real
izing upon it.
Mr. Donaldson has been assured
that the loss will be made good by the
person from whose custody the bond
disappeared.

NO REASON FOR BEGGING
ON PORTLAND STREETS
No reason exists for any able-bod
ied man in Portland begging food or
lodgin or “mooching” on the streets,
was the substance of a communica
tion issued recently by the American
Legion unemployment committee.
“The unemployment committee has
the Portland situation so well in hand
that there is no justification for any
able-bodied bread winner seeking
alm» in the city,” it said. “We can
give every man st least enough work
each day to provide f«x>d and shelter
for himself and dependent», if any.”
Members of the committee said that
it had come to their attention that
many had availed themselves of the
jobs offered and then had gone to the
Salvation Armv and similar institu
tions to beg lodgings and meals. The
public is asked by the communication
to refer all caught begging to the un
employment committee, where it is
declared that work awaits every de
serving person.

The committee is especially anxious
that sweet peas be planted at once se
that they will be in bloom by June 8.
Any good seed catalogue will give
full directions or the Portland seed
houses will do so.
