What trophies, what banners are floating free In the shadowy depths of the si lent sea? It were vain to ask as thou roll out afar, Of banner or mariner, ship or star; It were vain to seek in thy stor my face Some tale of the sorrowful past to trace; Thou art swelling high, thou art Hushing free, How vain are the questions we are asking of thee! 1, too, am a wave on the stormy sea ; I, too, am a wanderer, driven like thee? , ..

Muck Announces A. A. Muck has announced his candidacy for the office of Coun ty Commissioner. Mr. Muck is one of our best known citizens. He lias served as County Com missioner and during his term of office, which he filled with credit to his constituents and himself as well, he accomplished more for th's part of the county than any ot. or man who served as County Commisioncr. The people of the IV.iinsula district especially sh mid give earnest suport to Mr. MueVs candidacy. He has tin- Millowing to say regarding county affairs: In timet like these, when our people are taxed to the limit, county expenditures should ho as economical as is consistent witli oflleient service. No costly .en terprises should he undertaken. Existing buildings and bridges should be repaired instead of be ing replaced by expensive new structures. Such was uniformly my policy when I served before as 'county commissioner. I am opposed to the county commissioners present system of devoting only a portion of their time to county affairs. Tito conn (v'h liMsini'SH is important enough 1 1 (l ii ii. ! I all of he county l.o.n'd' time to admiuster it. ii' eljuto.l, I shall insist that Multnomah county receive its rightTuI share of the receipts from the Interstate Hridge. This is not the ease at present. Clarke county has already received more than its proportionate share of the bridge bond issue, but Multnomah county still owes nearly $1, 000,000 on acount of the bridge, Interstate bridge funds should he audited by the county auditor and turned over to (he county treasurer, who is under bond. This would savo the taxpayers !1J()0 per year, whieh is the sala ry of an extra accountant the Furni ture tore county board has employed to audit these funds. I favor home labor, home con tractors and home products. On account of the increasing tax burden in this county, the law authorizing payment of an extra $000 annually to each Multnomah county commissioner for attending one meeting per month of the Interstate bridge commission, should be repealed. This would ell'eet an annual sav ing of $1800 to t tic taxpayers. My slogan is this: My record for economical administration when Commissioner before, guar antees similar economy now. Mr. Muck holds membership in a number of civic and fraternal organizations, among them being the Huilders hxcliange, Associa ation of Huilding and Construe tion, Multnomah Camp Y. O. W., Jjoyal Order of Moose, the Dad dies' Club, the Ilydro-Klootrienl League and the Portland Hose Society.. Community ehuroh activities are allowing n deeper spiritual in terest, especially in view of the Haster season. All services were well attended last Sunday. The little folks are busy preparing an Iinster program winch will be given at the Sunday school peri od the coming Sunday. Pro-Haste r meetings have been held each night this week; they will close on Saturday evening. The choir is getting a number of special pieces ready for the morning ser vice. The Young People's Chor us will sing three specials at the evening service. There will be Master service in the morning. tin1 topic being, Uiscu With Christ. The evening thought will he iu the form of" a sermon story, The New Peter. A number have sig nified their intention of joining the church at the morning serv ice. Several of the men spent last Saturday afternoon putting the church grounds iu shape. However, they did not comnletc the job and plan to finish it the coming Saturday. The new song hooks are hero and are proving a j-eal inspiration. The selection of hymns are t ho most practical that we nave hceii able to find in any of the books examined.

Perhaps more important even than fire or theft insurance is this liability cover age. A loss by fire or theft is limited to the value of your car, while the damage you may be held liable for by personal injury may in volve every penny you have. Property dam age insurance, which covers damage to other property for which you may be held respon sible, can be added at a reasonable rate.

If you have any good books that you have read and are will ing to part with, give them to the Library. While the circulation of books has increased by nine teen per cent, the library hook liuying fund has not. It costs more to buy a new book, costs more to replace a lost or worn out hook, costs moro to prepare a book for the shelves than it ever did before. Somebody needs that thoroughly good book which you have finished reading. Give it to the public library. Copies of the Popular Mechanics, St. Nicholas and house plan magazines for clipping are also ipiito accepta ble. Look over your supply. A party advertised a rangu for sale in last week's Review.

By this plan, whieh appears to be a very good one, street work could be prosecuted with much less hardship upon the property own er, because with a higher valua tion property could he bonded for the full improvement without a cash outlay. In this connection why would it not also he a good plan to make the bunded term fifteen or twenty years instead of ten, as now obtains?
