One of the posters has been hung In the local postoffice and attracts the attention of nearly everyone who goes into the office. "Learn English; attend night school; become a citizen," It says.

If there is none in your town, write to the 1'iiitcd States bureau of education." The words are printed in Italian, Polish, Yiddish, Lithuanian, Bohem ian and Hungarian, The bureau lias found that there are In the United States over three million foreign born folk 10 years of age and over who are unable to read or write any language. MHIHMMM4tmHHMMtHHIimIMHMIMIIHWMmMn)llMWW Road Law Declared Unconstitutional In a decision handed down Tues day the Oregon supreme court de clared the so-called municipal road district law, which was passed dur ing the last session of the legislature, to be unconstitutional and without effect. The law required that all 'munici palities in the state of Oregon should be set aside as separate road dis tricts, and that money derived from road taxes in the districts, 'with the exception of 30 per cent, which would go into the general road fund, should be spent within the confines of the said district. The municipal road law was con sidered very unsatisfactory for the reason that municipalities were de prived of aiding in keeping up the rural roads, regardless of how much they benefited the towns and trading points.

It represents money thrown away. It is equally as great a mistake to pay an ex ceedingly high price for an instrument expensively advertised and exploited through famous artists whose indorsements are costly. It represents money wasted. We are not dealing in the cheap class, neither t in the over advertized class. When you buy a Hobart I M. Cable or a Kohler & Campbell, every dollar invest ed is a dollar's worth of intrinsic value. Sold on eaay terms at KODAGEN'S MUSIC SHOP X Enders' Block See us before you buy X J. am Ford Co. Favors Oil From Western Crude The Petroleum News, in a recent Issue, published an article on oil testB. Speaking of the Ford com pany's experience with oils, the arti cle says: "The Ford company in its huge plant at Highland Park, Detroit, maintains a well-equipped laboratory and a chemist with trained assistants, who are continually at work trying to find the ideal motor oil for use in Ford cars. rt " 'We worked for three years in our laboratory before we found the motor oil now being used in the Ford plant,' said C. T. Hobart, head of the service department of the Ford com pany. " 'Our experiments were first made with oil made from Pennsylvania crude,' said Mr. Hobart. 'We found we had better success, however, when we used western crude.' " Oregon Weekly Industrial Review. The St Helens Ship Building Com. pany is busy on a five-mast auxiliary schooner.
