OUR DAIRY In a copyriehted article. Edson R. Waite. manager of the chamber of commerce of Shawnee, Oklahoma, who has visited 'Sajem and become acquainted with many of our people here; i and understands and appreciates the wonderful resources of I -, the' Salem district, under the heading, "Did You Ever Stop to : think," writes the following: ; V !That each additional Industry 1 In population and wealth of a community.' i r 'vThat the dairy-industry should be encouraged. -VThat thla-Jridustry contributes much to the,support and main tvaance of our cJties and country,, f : That, the dairy .business Is a "That dairying is a cash business. i '.'That the dairyman knows every day what his product Is selling lor. ! . ; "That he receives his money i r .,MThat the dairy cow brings new fcay.. . !- "MltK NOT ONLY NOURISHES OUR PHYSICAL.

Salem, Or July 12, 1927. ,..;'. (Republican is misinformed concerning the issuance of more state highway bonds. None have been issued for several years. And the meeting of the interest on the whole issue, and the paying of the principal; of all serial bonds as they become due, is resulting in the passing of the peak load, which is being done now, and this will reduce the charge in this respect very fast after next year. It will make a big difference in five years.. In 10 years the charge for principal and interest payments will have grown still smaller... There will be a reduction year by year, and in 1950 the last of the bonds will have been paid. In the mean time, thestate'has been matching federal funds and finishing up many old proj ects and taking up some new ones. All without issuing any new bonds. If no pne t throws a monkey wrench into the works of the present system, great reductions may be safely made in license fees Jrom now on, especially for old cars ; greater reductions progressively every year up to 1950. -Ed.) We have lost the first round in the fight for a state office building. But that is no sign that we will lose the second, or the next. The office "building is sorely needed, and we will get it sooner or later. The annual Slogan number of The Statesman on the swine industry will be tomorrow.
