HASTK,
Let us take leave of haste
awhile.
Afcd loiter, wtU content,
WKh little pleasure to beguile,
And small habiliment
Just
wide sweep of rain-
w.ished aky,
A flower, a bird note sweet;
Seme easy trappings, worn awry;
Loose latehets for our feet;
A wlieaten loaf within our scrip;
For drink the hillside apring.
And for true heart-companion-ahip
The love of loitering. . . ,
The woodland weaves its gold
green net;
The warm wind lazes by;
Can we forgo? can we forget?
Come, comrade, let us try!

TOO MUCH IS PLENTY
"Tj N seeming despair over ef
II forts to solve the normal
school problem the Port-
Sand Joural suggests that nor
mal courses be established at
O. A. C. and at the state uni
versity at Eugene.
Though doubtless made
from good motives the sugges
tion is absurd because it calls
for disregarding the most im
portant of the established rules
governing the location of nor
tr;al schools.
The United States bureau of
vducation specifies first of all
that a normal school should be
located in a large town situat-
ed so as to most effectively
.-icrve the territory involved
and lays down the principle
that no normal school can
serve a territory from which it
is geographically remote.
Every educator knows that
Tthese principles are sound. All
Meators know that the pres
'aiit trouble arises from the fact
cXe aioT.mouth normal school
serves only the Willamette
valley and does virtually noth
ing for eastern Oregon or for
southern Oregon.
The Journal's suggestion
therefore is that the portion of
the state already well supplied
on the score of normal instruc
tion be given two additional
schools, making three institu
tions within a radius of a few
miles, while eastern Oregon
and southern Oregon remain
out in the cold.
What the East , Oregonian
thinks of that idea could be ex
pressed more clearly were
newspapers published on as
bestos paper. In the meantime
we will onlv mention that this
:-ectionif the state is of vol
canic origin isnd .that there is
otill Home brimstone lying
around.
PROSPERITY HALTS RECRUITING
fore the House Naval Commit
tee. High wages in civil life
proved a serious check to en
listments. When any able
bodied man can find work to
bis taste at good pay, the. pic
tures and glowing pleas dis
played on the recruiting posters
lose the power of appeal.
In any plans to increase the
strength of the army or navy
it is oouna to be a serious
problem to secure men for the
service m sufficient number.
If congress last spring had pro
vided for an increase of the
regular army to 500,000 men
or had adopted the Garrison
scheme in all its details, it
would have made little differ
ence. On paper there would
be a new system of army reor
ganization, but the shortage in
enlistments, as it is today,
would have to be faced.
It must be recognized 33 an
obvious fact that military ser
vice as an opportunity tor a
career appeals only to a limit
ed number of young men m
this country. In ordinary
times of peace they naturally
drift into other employments.
The flow of recruits will vary
with industrial conditions.
When labor is in great demand
and highly paid, recruiting will
shrink; if unemployment in
creases, it will expand and
quicken.
It is a situation that is to be
viewed with grave apprehen
sion, particularly with respect
to the navy. Secretary Dan
iels's report is an inspiring tes
timonial to the creation of the
new navy; but of what value
are dreadnoughts and 16-inch
guns without trained men to
handle them? New York

WORK OF FARM AGENTS
rf IELDS farmed as demon
'ir strations in agriculture
under the supervision of
county agents of the Office of
Extension Work, South, re
turned in 1915 as a rule yields
100 per cent in excess of the av
erage for the section, accord
ing to the annual report of the
States Relations Service issued
by the department. The dem
onstration work, it is stated
resulted in the widespread ad
option of better methods, par
ticularly in the preparation of
land, selection of seed, and
cultivation of crops.
During the year 1915, 731
regular county agents, 407
women county agents, and 26
special boys' club agents were
engaged in the southern ex
tension work. They carried on
work with 110,000 adult farm
ers, approximately 63,000
boys, nearly 7,000 women and
about 33,000 girls. In 1916
these figures have been in
creased to 110,000 farmers,
63.000 boys, 43,000 girls, and
S0.000 women.

Germany's proposal for
peace is based on conditions
the allies cannot accept with
out awarding the war's victory
to the kaiser. Nor is it prob
able at all that the allies will
consent to peace on any such
basis. However, there is hope
in the fact peace is even being
discussed and this is increased
by the possibility Germany
may not hold out for the con
ditions first suggested.
Some of our newspapers are
railing for fear Francis J.
Heney may be named as secre
tary of the interior and they
cite his Oregon land fraud
prosecutions against him;
what is there wrong about
prosecuting men for land
frauds?
It takes both sides to make
peace.

HERMISTON. Ore., Dec 13. A
committee from the Neighborhood
Club of the Columbia district has
been busy the last few days securing
subscriptions from local people for
funds and labor for the improvement
t the five acre tract of land which
the government has set aside for civic
center purposes for the people of the
Umatilla project. This land lies Just
across the road, south, from the Co
lumbia school house, and has been
turned over to the Neighborhood Club
for improvement by the Umatilla Wa
ter Users' Association. They plan to
have the land leveled right away s
that It will be in shape for the setting
out of trees and shrubbery in the
spring. This tract is located in the
heart of the richest producing area of
the project and if present plans are
carried out, it will be one of the most
beautiful parks in the state.
a C Roettinger, prominent attor
ney and treasurer of the Central

Cincinnati, left Sunday for his home
after a few weeks' stay in this city in
the Interests of the Wesrn Land &

ger's visit several changes were made
in the affairs of the Western Land &
Irrigation Co., among which, J. D.
Watson, assistant treasurer of the
company, was made secretary to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of C. B. Cleaver of Prairie City, Ore.
Mr. Watson was als0 appointed one
of the directors for the company. B.
P. Strohm was awardd the contract
to move the Orchard Camp buildings
from their present location to West
land, a small station on the O.W.
cut-off. This is right in the heart of
the Western Land & Irrigation Co.'s
project, and the actual part of the
work can be handled much better
from this point than at the present lo
cation. If present plans mature, a
large acreage of the company's hold
ings will be seeded to alfalfa in the
spring.

Brownton, dentist, was elected city
commissioner to succeed S. R. Ha'

that office. None of the candidates
received a majority of all votes cast,
although Mr. Brownton had four

majority prevailing, It is necessary to
count second choices and on that ba

Vote Unusually light.
In spite of the keen interest dis
played prior to the election, the vote
was about one-third of what it should
have been. The frightful slush kept
many women voters at home, and
many men too, for the wards are too
large for convenience. The need of

The Washington mid Hawthorne
schools from the fourth to eighth
grades inclusive are each spending an
hour this week at the county library
receiving instruction in library meth
ods. Miss Smith, assistant librarian,
is conducting the classes and the li
brary period. Is proving a very worth
while addition to school work as well
as popular with the children.
A. E, White, principal of the Wash.
ington school and the teachers of the
fourth to eighth grades come with the
pupils for the eleven o'clock period
throughout this week and E. EL
iieiss, principal of the Hawthorne
school has arranged for the nine o'
clock period.
This finishes a one hour library pe
riod this semester for each pupil in
the public schools from fourth grade
through high school senior year, as
Miss Rush, principal of the Lincoln
school and Miss Slater and Miss
Graves, teachers of high school Eng
lish, completed the work in Novem
ber. . Similar arrangements have been
made for the pupils of St. Joseph's
academy at the nine o'clock period
throughout next week.
Grades one, two and three are too
young to get full value for this work
but are encouraged to use the library
as far as they are able. Picture books
and easy readers are supplied for
them and parents are invited to ac
company the smaller children in their
quest for books to read. Every child
who can write his own name and ad
dress legibly may have his own Indi
vidual library card even though he
may be in first, second or third
grades.

down to the barber who shaved Mr.
Archbold, attended. Among the first
attendants were Mr. and Mrs. William
