List your Property with Us We AUikc Snles S. C. Cook J02 N. Jersey .Street The Jamo3 John baseball team was defeated by Benson Tues day, May G. by a score of 17 to 6. John Ohm, not being able to play, "Larry" Johnson was nut behind the bat. "Tom" Trumbull was Bick, Lee IIos kins took his nlnce at short. In the fourth inning the score was four to four, but before the tramo was over, Benson had brouirht in thirteen scores to James John's two. The absence of two regular men weakened the team seriously. Benson won by better playing. How ever, James John has a reputa tion for playing to the finish. There are victories ahead. The annual Hi-Jinx, which was conducted along the lines of the county fairs of the past, was given Friday evening, May 2, at the high school building, with much vigor and pep. Dur ing the week, posters were hung through the school halls to ad vertise the stunts, nnd Friday aftornoon the people of St. Johns were interested onlookers at an advertising parade of strange beings who claimed fellowship w th nroncr James John stud ents. A big crowd attended the Hi-Jinx, and the expression on their faces indicated a thor ough going good time. The Liliurlv girls in a beautiful booth, sold candy and lemonade. Amusement was provided by fortune tellers, clowns, Hula dancers and original farces. Tho "Belles of Sunny brook Farm" created much laughter, especially with Porky Chatter ton and Stanley O'Connor as the chief feminino characters; very much guessing went on as to the indeiility of the various belles. "My Stars," an original farce by the eight termers; was one of thu line productions of tho even ing. The Maypole dance was beautifully done by the Fresh man girls. A striking event of the Qvening wiih the dramatiza tion of several popular songs, by the third termors. Gulliver's travels thru local communities was one of the cleverest pro diictions of the evening, do mi in truo circus style. The live sec term class was responsible The Citizens Educational League presents the following facts and arguments to the taxpayers of Portland in sup port of the Teachers' Salary Measure, which will be submit ted at a special tax election May 10th: The cost of living has greatly increased. Bradstreet places' thu increase since tho begin-, ning of the war at 118 per cent, the U. S. Labor Bureau at 103 1 per cent, and Dun at 94 perl cent. I Good teachers make good citi- r.ens for your boys and girls. At present salaries our good teachers are going to other cities that pay better salaries, and in- to better paid professions. There is a shortage of good teachers in Portland. Many teachers who are not qualified to secure regular positions are now, teaching in the Portland schools. t The purchasing power of Poet-, land teachers' salaries has de-1 ereusqd. According to percent age worked out by Superintend ent Grout, and taking Into ac count the small increase in sal ary received by Portland teach o'S sincu 11)1!J, they have lost in total purchasing power since that date at a conservative esti mate the sum of $2,500,000. They do not ask a dollar of this back. The increase asked for It will only partially restore the j nirchasing power of their salar nu les before the war. We must raise the morale of tho teacherd. Tho morale of the , teachers is no less vital than, was tho moralu of the soldiers. Is it probable that an under-. paid, uisconicnicu teacner win 1)0 able to inspire in our future citizens a sincere respect for our social institutions'!1 'leach ers must be given a living wage. We need progressive tcacners. The quality of our schools is denendent on tho individual teacher keeping in touch wiuii the progress of education. He can only do this by atU tiding summer schools. The present salaries of teachers do not per mit title. More than half of Portland's teachers have dependents. Teachers' hours are long when the work which th' y do room is out for this event.

The promoter who made the plea is a stranger to most of us, but to hear him recite his prophecy of prosperity that is coming to your own St. Johns was something of a surprise to even those of us who have always Boosted. To know Manhattan Island and then to mount the hills across from St. Johns and look down upon the Peninsula; it does not ta e the eye of an engineer to see the similar ity of topography. To visit the St. Johns Terminal and see the car go going to the Orient is just a mere glimpse of what is coming to the great North West during the Americanizing of trade with the millions over there. And why should not the trade pass through St. Johns. To contemplate the Oriental Trade is to contemplate the Factory Sites of St. Johns covered with the smoke stacks; with fac tories and mills; to contemplate the beautiful setting covered with homes of those who will be a part of this Bee Hive of Industry. And for the immediate future: who should question the prosperity of the next year with the crops the greatest in our history. This space is given over to this subject because we are all apt to forget the good things close to us, and we wish to go on record as a party to the upbuilding of our surroundings. We invite you all to join our optimism. ' BOIMHAM & CURRIER L. E. ROSE, Mgr. Men's Dept.
