Tho engineer railed attention

that some of them mnde n speed

The matter of a water tank to

is a subject that most people are
more or less interested in, and as
tho bonds have carried there are
things thnt should' be taken care
of, one of which is that tho la
borers should not bo employed

American labor should bo given

be some method devised where

that $250,000 wero bonded for

of helping the farmers, was di

greater expenso than originally
planned, thnt tho money has all

instead of tho farmers being
given work with their teams as

the laborers were paid a verv

laborers were foreigners. Ho
says that the road is only finish

value to the farmers. Multnomah
county should prevent anything
of a like nature occurring upon
the roads in this county. Most
people would sooner pny a little
more so thnt the workmen should
hnvo better wages. That better
roads are needed there can bo no

It in surely better to mnkn 'good

Tho system of teaching child

l' rancols Lnurcnt, who wns born
in Belgium in 1810. In 1873 af
ter a thorough experience in con
ducting savings accounts, ho
was awarded the Guinnrd prizo
ot 1U.UUU francs for his pamph
let. "Conferences sur 1'Espargno
dans los Ecoles" (Lectures on
Snvings in Schools). Twelve
thouunnd copies of this pamphlet
were distributed nnd served to
multiply school savings nnd also
to increase tho number of depos
itors nmong tho laboring classes
in other Savings Banks. In
1874 S. S. B. wore orgnnized in
every school of Franco, und pen
ny snvings banks opened in Eng
lnnd by voluntary action of
teachers.
There aro today S. S. B.s in
France. Belgium, England, Ger
many. Denmark. Italy, Austra
lia, Sweden, Switzerland and
Canada. Tho W. C. T. U. in
1908 introduced the system in
Iceland, und in 1898 a mission
ary established a S. S. B. in
Mexico.
Tho first systematic attempt
at a s. s li, in the tho U. s
was made by Sereno F. Morrill
ofBeliot. Wisconsin, in 1870.
In 1885 John H. Thiry. a native
of Belgium, placed tho bank of
tho U. S. on a permanent foot
ing. Ho began operations in
Long Island: ho trained tho
teachers to enjoy tho philan
thropy of helping the children
to earn, save and bank their
small amounts of money. Ho
explained to the bankers that by
caring for the children's savings
they would later bo handling
larger sums, deposited by these
same children when grown, and
by other children and adults in
fluenced to save, by the child
ren's success.
Ponular interest was aroused
and by 1891 tho movement had
reached such a high tide that it
was a subject of discussion at
the first triennial meeting of the
National Council of Women in
Washington, D. C.
In 1892 Mr. Thiry reported
that there were S. S. B.s in
twelve states with 27.430 depos
itors and deposits amounting to
$207,428.70.
In 1910 the Massachusetts Leg
islature passed a bill providing
foi compulsory instruction in
thrift in the public schools, and
in 1911 passed an act authoris

In reference to tho discussion
of tho increased expenso of elec
trie wiring when tho bo culled
Portland restrictions como into
eliect, I would like to say a few
words.
It has been stntcd that parties
wno contempinto having electric
work done can savo 30 per cent
by having same done beforo tho
two cities merge. This state
mont is misleading. The city of
I'ortinnd has adopted tho Na
tional Electric code rules and re
quirements governing the instul
lation of electric wiring nnd ap
paratus. Tho Underwriters' Equitnblo
uating ifurenu has adopted the
sumo codo as their standard; in
rncl all tho installations of elec
trie wiring and apparatus any
where in tho United States arc
governed by tho rules as sot
forth in this codo. This in
eludes St. Johns. Thoroforo if
Portland and St. Johns use the
same rules governing electric
wiring how can tho samo class
of installation bo 30 per cent
cheaper in St. Johns thnn in
Portand? Hero is tho reason:
In Portland thero nro inspectors
to see that tho codo is lived up
to, to seo that the proper ma
terial is put into tho job and is
properly installed, while in St.
Johns (excepting largo installa
tions which aro inspected by tho
Underwriters), unless the party
having work done understands
tho National Electric codo, any
thing goes, and in this way
enough material can bo "left
out" to reduce the price, no
doubt moro than 30 per cent.
This saving in price is in
versely in proportion to tho
grade of material used und the
amount of material left out as
well as tho quality of workman
ship. In fact the only difference
thero should be between the
price of electrical worx in St.
Johns nnd Portland is the amount
of inspection fee which rarely
runs over 50 cents on tho ordinary
residence.
If tho peoplo knew the firo
hazard of poor wiring they would
gladly pay this 50 cents to know
thoy were getting a comn eto
and safe job. J. E. Kilkenny,

is nil for mo und others,
Even though 1 cannot henr.
As tho rain comes pouring down
ward,
Prattling on tho window imno.
Sending nil tho littlo rivulets,
Running swiftly down tho
lnne.
Jo you henr tho thunder rattle?
Do you hear tho nrattlo come.
As It comes liko showers of
blessings,
Over n quiet and happy homo?
No. I do not hear the rainfnll.
Ah it falls with might nnd
main
Sending nil tho littlo rivulets
Running swiftly down tho
lane.
lo who has the power to make it,
Sends his hlcssimrs over all
And, although 1 cannot hear it,
I can seo it swiftly fall.
As you wundor through tho
woodland,
Wherotho brooks and rivers
flow
wiftly they will go a singing
At tho fall of evening glow.
Do you hear what thoy aro sing-
inrr?
Do you hear the water fall.
Liko tho falls of Minnehaha
With its laughter over all?
God has mado all earth so beauti
ful,
With its music in the air.
Io is great and ho is powerful,
Ho can keep us in His caro.
Io will givo us His great bless
ing,
In our deeds of faith and love,
do not hear earth's sweetest
music,
I will hear in heaven above.
