AGKERMAN IS FOR PENDLETON MEASURE SAD OF VONVOUTH NORMAL 8AYS ONE SCHOOL CANNOT SUPPLY DEMAND FOR TEACHERS. Fire Prevention Day October 9. The anniversary of the Chicago conflagration is October 9th and nearly every state in the llnion will observe this as "Fire Prevention Day." The Insurance Department of Oregon wishes to urge the ob servance of this day and earnestly requests the municipal officers to call the attention of the citizens of their community to the need of fire prevention. Fire prevention means good housekeeping; the cleaning out of attics, store rooms, closets and basements; the proper disposal of rubbish; repairing defective flues and chimneys; repairing gas fix tures and dlectric light cords; mak ing heating plants and stoves safe; and proper storage of gasoline. Try fire prevention once and you will find it is to your interest. I am sure the cleaning up of places will mean sanitation ss well as fire prevention. And I appeal to every school dis trict to hold appropriate exercises and fire drills. If any schools are interested robably this depart ment can offer suggestions for the school program. I trust that the insurance agents will cooperate with the fire depart ments and officers of the different municipalities in order that the many towns of this state may properly observe this day. Harvey Wells, Insurance Commissioner. Monmouth, Ore. "A careful nly' sis of (lie situation will couvtiu-e any j one that Oregon neoils Normul School iu Kastern Oregon and iso j one In Southern Oregon," saiit J. H. Ackernmn, President of the State Nor n-.ul School at Monmouth. "It is a well-established tact that a centrally located Normal School cannot supply the needs of the entire state. The need of a Normal School In Eastern Oregon Is readily proved by the most cursory Investigation of the list of our students and the list of our graduate teachers. The estimated population of our state in 1914 was 795.S8T. Take lor example the eight Western Oregon counties, Clatsop, Clackamas, Benton, Lane, t.lnn, Marlon. Polk and Yamhill Counties. Their population for 1914 was 214,608, or less than 2T per cent of the total - population of the state, yet 60 per cent of the graduates from our Normal School for the past five years are teaching school tn soma one of these eight Western Oregon coun ties. There ar SS counties In the state, yet eight of these counties are getting half of the benefit of the teachers for which all of the counties pay the taxes. Here is the list. During the past five years we hare supplied the fol lowing graduates as teachers to these counties: Clatsop, IS; Clackamas. 20; Ben ton, 25; Lane. 36; Linn, 28; Marlon, 2s; Polk, 25; and Yamhill, 20. In other words, 203 of our 407 teachers who have secured places in the public schools In Oregon during the past five years, have gone to these eight Wil lamette Valley counties. Now take eight .typical Eastern Ore gon counties and see tt they have se cured their proper share of teachers with Normal training. During the past five years we have supplied Normal graduates as follows to these Eastern Oregon counties; Baker, 9; Grant, 1; Harney. 4; Mal heur, 2; Morrow, 4; Umatilla, 10; Wallowa. 7; and Wheeler, 2. The eight Willamette Valley coun ties had 203 Normal teachers as against 39 Normal teachers for the I eight Eastern Oregon counties. East ern Oregon received less than 10 per cent as against Western Oregon's fifty per cent Miss Inez Jenkins is in the citv from Lairorta to visit her parents , and attend the fair, "AND EACH ONE IS A CRACKER3 ACK!"

Many farmers this year will have enough beets to bring the-n from $00 to $125 an acre at a cost of about $40 an acre. "We told the people 'we would help the farmers grow the crop and advance money to this end and we have distributed directly to them upward of $25,000. This makpfl t.hfi farmnr umiln in havn more than one pay day a year, for no is not used to having money un til after his fall harvest, and it. often happens too that when he oners lor sale what he has grown he is turned nwav. and in mmn cases has to dump his crop into the hog pen. "You need water here on your land. Without water the country will not develop but with water in plenty your future will be a happy one. Ihe land is here, the water is running past your very door waiting to be harnessed and, we will be unwise indeed if we fail to use these things God has placed so near to us. This climate is unsurpassed so that it is our own fault if we remain dry and parched. I predict that we will co operate and we will wet the ground and will make ten blades of grass grow where none grows at this time. "We have' paid out thus far the following sums: Southern Pacific for freight charge. $50,729.83; beet sheds, silos, sewers, $125.673.21 ; advances to fai mers, $38,29(5.0!); pay roll sugar and dyer comptfny, $91,036.55; material bought from local merchants, $01,450.01. The contract for build ing the factory contemplates pay ment as the work progresses and the sum to date added to the above means a total expenditure of up wards of $700,000. This is but the beginning as we should pay for beets alone each year upward of $000,000 which, together with fuel, limestone and other material we will use m-ans an expenditure each year, of upward of $1,000,000. "When we put our sugar on the market make use of it as you can not get anything better. 1 have every reason to believe that our big brother, PorJund,. will do the same and especially if , we in turn see that the goods wo use bear the Portland brand. Wo live near, so far as distance is concerned; let us live even closer together in our business relations. We need Port- land and Potland needs us."
