PERMIT ISSUE STUDIED Curbing of Grants Urged to Prevent Lowering of Cerv ) tificateStandard At the convention of county school superintendents here dur ing the week, O. C. Brown of pduglas count, C. E. Mulkey of Cooa coounty and W.j W. Grn of Umatilla- county presented reports showing the advantages of the consolidation of districts. . All three were agreed that consolida tion has tremendous advantages over the old system, bat empha sized that road construction must precede consolidation. The last year. It Is said, has been conspic uous in consolidation. Douglas coounty has been more active hi that line than any other county, due mainly to road development. Permit Too Central A concensus of opinion of the superintendents was that there should be a tightening up on the issuing of permits to teachers to prevent a lowering of standards of certification. During and follow ing the. war county superinten ded issued manay permits be cause of scarcity of teachers. A report of the week's work of the convention iHsued at adjourn ment Saturday follows in part: "ProbBems of vital interest to every superintendent were discus sed with State Superintendent Of Public Instruction . A. Churchill presiding. Mrs. O. C. Brown, su pervisor of Douglas coanty, re counted the activities of teachers' councils in that coounty during the past year. She reported a splendid work done through these councils in arousing community interest in the schools, in improv ing the school plants and securing cooperation between teachers and patrons.

By O. Im Scott, I. C. j The neuritis victim hardly knows the " danger of this disease. Usually the pain Is so persistent day and night that any measure of relief tj welcome and no thought of future danger is possible. - Neuritis, like neuralgia, may be caused by a local displacement of spinal vertebra, and, thus affect only a part of he body. If nerves are affected in a number of places at the same time. It Is what is called multiple neuritis' and is caused by " pressure on the spinal cord at the base ' of the brain. The danger of neuritis if not quickly checked is that the heart in the nerve fi nally atrophies or destroys the nerve. This degeneration of the nerve tissue, if the neuritis .for instance affects, the arm, amounts to a loss of power in that' arm. Neuritis should be checked at once. Its very nature points clearly to the ''need of chiropractic spinal adjustments. 1 rrvcLZ but ATI Prohibition. Xe vy, has rrdu?d the - nnmbr of mn who think thty fin ing.

Well, lots ot them are; and some of them trj to t e nasty abont it. 'I presume that we've never ac tually jailed a man for refusinf to display his chauffeur's license but we've heard a lot of excuses for not having them on ther per ons I'suallv a explanation ; ot the law and a warning for the future is enough; in fact.

II the trcckmakers only knew what their trucks are carrv!n bvnnl their warrant and if the bank ers knew it, who've financed them there would Jie more ha'r tearing in 10 minutes than the state would grow in a year. Some of the drivers are sincere at that, hey Ftart to-load; the truck does n't say a word, like a mule would do if you piled to much on its back. The truck bed is big and broad; the gas costs about the same., with a light Or a heavy load and they certainly fracture all the warrantees for carrying capacity, by the time most trucks ever hit the road.' "Overloading is mostly pro fessed ignof ance of just how much they have on. But the way some drivers can v ooze and eel their way past tht" actual weights. Is certafnly a lesson in the use or the English- language. 'Didn't you know that you had two cords of wood, and that a cord of oak weighs two tons?' Yes oh. ye8r,b'george, but I thought a ton was only 1. 000 pounds and so I must have put on . more thani I thoug-ht. I don't never haul this much honest, it happened Just this once.

' . . r Not many would have to "start life all over" It they had started Ufa all right. , Those who. have been wonder ing whether Willamette valley lands arenot too high priced-t-beyond, their productive. possibi;i ities might be interested in a sober statement made by one Sa lem realtor. What he says has so optimistic a ring that it's giv en in full. v "The lands here are the cheap est good lands in the farming world, today. We've been carry ing some advertising back in the Missouri valley country,- and are close enough. in touch with values and with people there, to know how to compare the two coun tries. The Missouri valley has been held to be one of the richest countries on the globe. General Grant said, after his tour around the wdrldt that the 200 miles of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, . radiating from the cor ner of the four states, was the richest farm country of the world. We'll let it go at that. "But you'd be surprised, and eitherple asedo shrdl shdr shhhm either pleased or alarmed, at the many farm people who want to get away from there and coma out hee. The lands are produc tive, but they are high in price; higher evn than they are here, and witluall the drawbacks of that country. No man can ever make as mucr per acre on that land as he can out here, on any one of a number of crops. Their values, however, are stabilized. The lanl is actually proven to be worth their price. It follows, of course, that if we can give superior cli matic and social and political ad vantages, along with better crops and pr'ces. our lands are worth more than theirs. "That's what whole armies of their people are saying. Thay want to pack tin and come west to Oregon. Why, the trains wouldn't hold 'em all this spring if they could sell and move right now. They'd be grabbing the Willamette farms at the current prices that local buyers seem to think excessive, and throwing fits of joy over the saving In acreage or price in the exchange. For our prices are Hot as high as theU-s. The Missouri- valley farmer who told a good farm for real money could come here and buy an ap proximately acreage with mis money, and have enough left over to start a bank. ' I "I look for prices to go 'way up here, rather than to decline even a little. The competition of buyers is bound to bring this in creas3. "Plain grain lands of the valley will pay fair returns at from $125 an acre up. j Good or chard lands, for berries Or larger fruit, will pay on two or three or even five times that price. There isn't much land anywhere around Salem as low 'as $100, and there oughtn't to be, for It's worth the price;-. - ' - "NSbody knows Just when those NEW CORPORATIONS I l . j ; 4 Articles of incorporalton have betn filed here j by the Aslatic- Ainertca Steamship companv ol; Portland, capitalized at $100,000.: The incorporators are Krsktrie; Wood.
