MUCH BETTER THAN GOLD MINES
All power to Salem! Oregon's capital city, after tie
cades of sustenance by state institutions and the biennial
excitation of tbe legislature, is launching strongly into
commercial organization for the promotion of industry. It
is such united effort that builds cities. The fact that Salem
is the center of an agricultural district of inexhaustible
vitality represents to it more wealth and hope for the fu
ture than to be the home of state, institutions, or even the
capital of Oregon.--Portland Journal, September 15.

It is fine to listen to a masterpiece
performed by a genius, but better
still is it to go out and hear the

Retail food prices in August In
asnmgton were the highest ever
known, and 1 per cent higher than in
July; despite all the government
regulations and prosecutions and
price fixings. What this country
needs is to hark back to supply and
demand, with all the brakes off; and
with everybody at work.
Astronomy, even In an elemental
form, should be among the first sub
jects chosen by those who educate
the young. It would give them an
increasing reverence for the giant
forces behind the universe. It would
show them "The work of Thy hands
which Thou hast ordained."
The Bishop of Birmingham said at
a Los Angeles luncheon: "Church
going becomes rarer and rarer among
the people sas the years pass. In Bir
mingham one Sunday morning a club
man, seated at a club window, looked
up from his Sunday paper and said:
'By George, there's Thompson and
his wife on their way to, church! I
wonder what's up?' irs either. said
a second club man. 'that Thompson
has had another attack of heart trou
ble, or else Mrs. Thompson has got a
new dress. "
