If offered at that price.! i No obligation of the United States ought ever to be al lowed to be sold below its face value. It is a national disgrace that Liberty and Victory bonds Millions of dollars' worth of them bought by people m very moderate circumstances; by wage earners who had to skimp and save and deny themselves and evengo hungry to pay for them V Bought because the buyers were following patriotic im pulses , ' It is a national disgrace that any of these bonds have had to be sold or offered below par. In very many cases, it s too late now to benefit these patriotic purchasers; but it is not too late to prevent the disgrace of any obligation of the United States ever again being hawked about at any discount whatever. Every United States borid of every kind must finally be redeemed at par; and it is the stupidest kind of feeble mind- tdness to allow them to be below par any day they are out. Twelve more farm homes in the Salem district are now lighted with electricity, and they have access to power for all purposes. They can press a button and flood their homes and farm, buildings with light, or in the same way the women folks may heat the water or do the cooking or curl their hair; or by the turning of a switch the power may be invoked for " running the separator or chopping the feed or turning the fanning mill or the wood saw, or even the threshing machine. These twelve farm homes are on the road running east from the Liberty school house. By the end of next summer these farmers will have the use of two paved roads to Salem. They already have phones and rural mail delivery. They are with in ten minutes of the moving picture1; shows in Salem, with their automobiles. " So the city limits have virtually been extended to these farms sans the city taxes. There are a number of farm districts down the roads north from Salem, in both Marion and Polk counties, that are proposing to have electric light and power lines extended to and through them. . This is a great thing for the farms. It adds value to the land far above the cost in dollars and cents of the lines. It will help to keep the young folks on the farms; thus expand- iing as nothing elsecan intensified and diversified agricul- ture, and by the same sign adding to the trade and prosperity - and population ot Salem. President Wilson has Wen awarded 'the Xobel peace prize for 1920. This carrier with it a grant of about $40,000. but. aside fiom that, is consider .'d about the greatest honor tnat cm be ac corded a citir.en of the world. The award is a recognition of the man who, by word, impulse or. deed, has contributed most to the cause of universal neace. The prize may go to an author who writes a book cr a Jurist who lavs down a forceful pronouncement. It might even go for a musical com position that had swayed the world for peace. In the case of President Wilson the award is to cne who 'has sought to coin his ideals into a universal circulating medium. Xb one can question the presidential passion for world peace and peace with justice at that. Had he been less austere he would have been more potent, but he was at least sincere, and mo?t Americans will agree that Cne prize has been worthily be stowed. Other Americans who have achieved this honor were Theodore Roosevelt and Eiihu Root, so that this country's stand ing in world peace movements Is assured. , There are a lo; of toys from Nuremberg in the store of Am erica for this holiday season, but few of th-m 'are marked: "Alad? in Germany,"' evn in the origi nal package.

When Pros dent "Wilson has nothing especial on his hands to do he sends the name of John Skelton Williams to the senate for confirmation as comptroller of the currency. There is no chance for its success Exiled kings in various parts of Europe must have watched with much interest .he returns fiom Greece which showed an overwhelming majority for the restoration : of Constantine to the throne. From his retreat in Hol land the ; erstwhile all-highest, who sought to mount to the pin nacle of world power, may now bo sending an anxious look to ward Herlin. He will ak him self, Will I "ever again go back to Castle Sans Souci? And the younger and less guilty head oi the Hapsburgs, Karl, the empe ror without a throne of what Hoes he think? He fled to the' same haven that Constantine chose, namely, Switieriand. Shall ene go back to his palace and the ether be left? It is unsafe to prophesy 'in these day3 of swift nnd remarkable overturning, but at r resent there seems little in dication that the Germans and Austrians are planning to recall the sovereigns who ITed before the advance of the victorious al lies. It must be remembered that Germany and Austria discarded the monanhial form of govern ment which brought them to ruin. Greece, which. de?pife Constan tine, chose the winning side in the world war. did not become a republic when the husband of the German Sophia wa? driven from Athens. The allies placed a son of the deposed monarch on the throne. A monkey intervened and the young man died of the simian's bite. Xow it would seem that, with the connivance of the Greek electors, Constantine is go ing to make a monkey out of the f.llies. War Mothers' day in Salem. S S They will have their .bazaar to day. It will open at 10:30, for all day and evening. . It will be at Hotel Marlon sam ple rooms. There will be manv sful arti cles for sale, and cooked food and candies and clothing, and Christ mas tree of all sizes and prices. What is all this for? It is to add to the fund of the Salem War Mothers that will be used to endow beds in the new Salem hospital, for s?rvice men. A large Tund will be required, and th War Mothers exoect to be very active for a long time in raising the necessary money to the end hat no soldier or nurse ho wore the uniform may in the days to i tome lack for attention and carcj when he or she shall ned medi-1 cal and hospital attention. - So. if you buy any artlcl from the War Mothers, even a Christ mas tree for your kiddies, you will be helping to provide care for some s:ck soldier in the near or far future.

The commissioner of internal revenue ruls that an American bl.ip is under American law and regulation, no matter where it may be, and therefore prohibition will extend to American vessels beyond Ue three-mile limit that was supposed to be ?ls frontier. It this ruling is enforced it will tend to still further put the over seas traffic, in to the keeping of Tritish and French steamships. I'ntil the worid has been persuad ed to accept prohibition it will be hard to enforce it on the lrgh seas. Having wet and dry lines iu competition for the European traffic will be the natural out come. The old raits will be yelp ing, for a wet ship and a flow ing sea while tenderer soul.s will cling to the saying declaration that even an American vessel if ory land.- Is Angeles Times.
