... The meeting last night to consider the; question of mu

At least all who voted said yes. ; j : ,' ' '
The writer believes the people of Salem are of the same
mind; almost to the extent of 100 per cent1 of them .jr.
And the only thing, therefore, is to be certain of getting
a just valuation, so that all will know it is t just, and to' have
everything regular and in business form-j then Saleni will
take over the water works. And likely eventually mountain
water will besecaredl :l;l'.--ri:3 .1 ' h i t L.'.-' jr'-':
The writer is against public-ownership and management
;as a principle. But the i watet supply of a city situated as
: Salem is, is an exception jit is anatural monopoly, in order
to have the ljest service. Theref ore all thej people should own
: the system. As it is everybody business, it is naturally a
. municipal affair. E .
So may the matter be speeded.
Eight hundred million dollars a year is the cost of com
battinz insects which damage our crops... And as we clear
off the woods and forests without increasing bird life which
is a natural enemy of insects the ravages of insect crop de

It is a duty for everybody to protect , the birds and
encourage their progation. Boys and girls should be taught
the economic value of birds and should be impressed with
their esthetic companionship when their friendship is cul-
tivated. . ' . ' - ':. !
The fruit and grain destroyed by these feathered friends

in shaded places where the feathered songsters and others
of their tribe may drink and bathe. And cats the most
'destructive T enemy of birids should in some way be restrain

bird life may be still further endangered and diminished. :
The greatest single economic asset that may be obtained
by any city is an adequate supply of pure water. Everybody
should encourage every movement economically, aeiinueiy

r.-i.. The attitude of commercial bodies toward agriculture
is not always understood.' It is often misinterpreted even
to the point of ridicule. Commercial meetings are held in
which; farm problems are discussed and' ways and means
devised to aid agriculture in; its struggle for independent,
; profitable progress. And to this end committees are formed,
j plans laid and assurances of cooperation between the city
! organization and the rural organization or individuals given.
.' . The city organigations act in good faith so far as they
go in matters essential to "agricultural needs' using care that
local interests are usually well conserved in the altruism of
their efforts. This is natural and fundamentally-sound bus
iness for ill concerned. - .."i f ! ,
But why this initiative "altruism this proffer of cooper

Grant that these efforts to aid agriculture afe'based on the
desire for commercial economic ; and social cooperation in
which there has been real progress during the past few yt!ars
