M A R IO N Ì NEW I REMEMBER! I remember, I remember the house where I was born, the little window where the sun came peeping in at morn. You’d hardly know the old place now, for Dad is up-to-date and the farm is scientific, from the back lot to the Rate. The house and barn are lighted with bright acetyline, the engine in the laundry is run by gasoline; we have silos, we have autos, we have dynamos and things, a telephone for gossip and a phonograph that sings. The hired man has left us we miss his homely face a lot o f college graduates are working in his place. There’s an engineer and fireman, a chauffer a id a vet., 'lectrician and mechanic, oh, th** farm’ s run right you bet. The little window where the sun came peeping in at morn now brightens up a bath room that cost Dad a car o f corn. Our milkmaid is pneumatic and she’s sanitary, too, but Dad gets fifteen cents a quart for milk that once brought two. Our cattle came from Jersey and the hogs are all Duroc. the sheep are Southdown beauties and the chick ens Plymouth Rock. To have the best o f everything, that is our aim and plan, for Dad not only farms it, but he’ s a business man. — E. F. McIntyre. C O U N T Y . OREGON , TH U R SD A Y , M AY À lé , 1915.

Oregon school taxes and family expenses would be materially reduced if the society fads were cut out o f the public schools. Simpler living, less expensive dress, less excitment, dissipation and “ sports,” will leave more time for master ing the common branches and industrialism. Portland papers last week tell how the Lincoln High School put on the screaming farce comedy, “ What Hap pened to Jones” and published pictures o f girls dancing the “ Pavlova Gavotte.” Portland police inspectors prevented three high schools giving a big dance at the Multnomah Hotel. The students then chartered a steamer and gave the same dance on the river, outwitting the police. Social fads, frats and fancy dress, crowd out poorer students or force them to live beyond their means.
