rine Corps, was second with 315, and
Private S. W. Pearson, Oregon Na

"America First" Is
Lithograph Title
' "America First" la the title of a
striking lithographic poster 'ust Is
sued by the federal bureau of educa
tion, urging Immigrants to fit them
selves for citizenship. It Is one of
the very few advertisements ever
published by the government and
probably the only pictorial appeal
ever Issued outside of' those advertis
ing army and navy recruiting or of
the parcel post.
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.
"Tt means a better opportunity and a
better home in America. It moans a
better job. It means a better chance
for your children. It means a better
America. Ask the nearest public
school about classes. 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.

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.

GOOD AND BAD INVESTMENTS
In Piano Buying
It is a great mistake to select a combination of
cheaply made Pianos at a low price. 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.

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.' "
