Mrs. MacDonald pulled a good one yesterday. A friend of theirs stepped into their place of business and in the course of con versation Mr. MacDonald asked him for a subscription for the btaU-sman, but he could not see his way clear to give them a sub mripiion at that time, or, for that matter, at any time. However, a liltie later on, he called again on another piece of business and Mrs. McDonald approached him for a uns rlption and without any ef fort, whatever, secured the sub avjiption she desrred. The story is uow going around that Mrs. Mac Donald is a better subscription get ter than her husband. She is to he congratulated because her hus baud Is a go-getter and to excell bis selling ability, she must have exertional talent. Now. randi. lares, do not forget that :hi radio is an extra special priie and will be given away at the cloe of the period on February 20. to the candidate who turns in tut- most money subscriptions for ih three weeks ending that day. Yes-erday. one of the contest managers was out over the terri tory to ascertain some facts in re gard to the canvass being made. Several contestants have told the uumagr that they could not get aty n;ore subscriptions, owing to thf isut that the entire territory to subscribe for The Statesman. In one locality, one candidate told the contest manager tha she had e.ured every subscription that it vas pos.iblf to get in that local ity. The contest manager went next door to this candidate's house and asked them if they had been asked to take it by any candidate in the contest. What do you think th. reply was? They didn't even know there was t contest on in The Statesman. Now what do you think of that, .ind right next door to the candi date's house, too. Some neighborly feeling, now. wasn't it? And some live candidates. Well, we will have o make sort of a half-hearted ipology for the candidate for she has been doing excellent work and here is no question about that. But she hasn't been doing is sys tematically. She just jumps around following tho Mae of least resist ance. In another Instance, the contest manager called upon one of Its supposedly "top-notch" candidates. She had been told by others that there is no use of any one else working in the contest, for the candidates had Just loads of votes in reserve. Some even went at far as to predict several million. Well, the contest manager didn't faint and fall over during the inter view for he was leaning against a tree. The young lady hadn't done things as they came and never missing a house. We predict suc cess for some of them because they want to win. They want to win badly enough to work as they never worked before during the contest. They are trying their very best to double their record these days. And, after all is said and done, it all reverts back to the same old suggestion said over and over again by the contest editor. "Make a house-to-house canvass and see everybody." Attend to your own business and gather votes, and you will be so busy that the sad tales that reach your ears will have no time to take effect. If you attend to your own can vassing the way It should be at tended to, you will be so busy you will forget everything else and what is more, you will win. You cannot help it, so go ahead and saw wood: The size of your I wood pile on March 20 will all depend on you ,and your little buzz saw. BEST K MAD E 0F1 HIRING T n Best Interests of Pupils Should Be First Criter ion, Letter Says She had such a fine start that she didn't have to work, as she thought she was so far ahead Then one fine day, her hopes were so rudely shattered that she nev er did recover. She died and then and there, figuratively speaking. Another candidate, a little more foxy, came along and said "Why, there's no use of your working for the automobile, I have a cinch. I have two million votes." Do you know, that particular candidate didn't have 200,000 votes at that time, and she hasn't very many more at this time. That young lady could have had one of the automobiles practically cinched if -he had attended to her own busi ness and left her neighbors alone. There were several other can didates who were keeping still and sawing wood. Some of them had some wood pile. TheScontest manager showed them how much better they could do by taking CUM PLANS PtftY KXTKRTAINMEXT AT SILVER- TOX TO BE SUNDAY SILVERTON, Feb. 2. (Spe cial).

Read the Classified Ads Suggestions upon the hiring of teachers for next year are this week being sent out from the of fice of Mary L. Fulkerson. county school superintendent, to all echool board members of Marion county. The letter aeks that care and the best interests of the children be used in signing Instructors for the next year; that no changes be made unless those now employed are unsatisfactory; that boards un dertake to hire no teacher who does not have an Oregon certifi cate covering the entire term of the contract. It also states that no temporary permits will be Is sued by the county superintendent. The suggestions. In full, are: "If the teachers you now have are giving general satisfaction it is best to retain them for next year. A new teacher means a loss of time while becoming acquainted with school conditions during the first year. Personal prejudice against a teacher, of people who have no children la school, should not be taken Into consideration in hiring a teacher. The school Is for the benefit of the children who attend it and not for adults who have no connection with the school excepting their residence in the district. "We have many applicants for teaching positions, yet good teach ers are in demand. Many of our best teachers have been offered positions for next year. A cheap teacher often proves to be poor economy for the district. The best teacher is none too good for your school. "Aocordlng to a ruling by the attorney general, a teacher's con tract is void unless she has an Oregon certificate covering the en tire term of the contract. This means that you cannot give a teacher a contract for eight months when her certificate is valid for only three months. School boards should note this when hir ing teachers. Require the teacher to display her certificate before you give her a contract unless you know personally that she has pro per certification. A contract based on certificates from another state Is not valid in Oregon. "No temporary permits will be issued by the county superintend ent next year unless no teachers with Oregon certificates are avail able. The teachers' examination is held tn June and anyone wishing to qualify should take advantage of the opportunity. "The county superintendent's office 'is at your service and will assist you in getting a teacher if you so desire. If you wish us to send you applicants for a position, please notify us."

The great Improvement in reli ability of Insurance service to the public brought about through the efforts of the Underwriters' asso ciation throughout the United States, was stressed by Clare A. Lee, state insurance commissioner, in an address before th Life Un derwriters' association of Salem at Us luncheon at the Gray Belle Thursday noon. Mr. Lee mentioned the service given by the insurance companies in explaining the public the needs, uses and benefits of life insurance. j as compared to the more or less haphazard methods employed a ifew years ago. Along this line he compared the character and reputation of the j life underwriter agent of today, a 'reputable citizen of the commun Jlty and state in which he disposes of his wares, with-the more or less! j itinerant part time agent who wandered through the country, and upon whom the policy purchaser had to "take a chance" because he! did not know for sure that he! would ever see that particular agent again. ! The speaker stated that the aim of the association of underwriters jwas to demand of its members methods which would S'. ure for jtheni individually and collectively i the confidence of the public with whom they deal. 1 He explained that while the sell ing of life Insurance Is a basinets, its ethics today are as high as those sought by any of the pro fessions and that the duty of the association Is to maintain among its members the high standard of business dealing, which would j eliminate entirely ice aouin sn.i existing in the minds of a few 84 to the real need of life insurance and its place in the economic life of everybody in the community. The next meeting of -the local underwriters' association is to be held March 1. when it will be host to the bankers and trust company officers of Salem and the sur rounding community.
