"DEAD HORSES" We have frequently called atten tion to the matter of sinking funds in connection witn local bond is sues. Now the Oregonian has taken the subject up in connection with a "dead horse" that Portland has just realized she is paying for. The Port land bonds that have started the dis cussion were issued for a bridge that has been replaced for some years, but the bonds (and the interest), like John Brown's body, go marching on. Bend's dead horse is the old high school building, torn down last full with the bond issue still unpaid. We told its story at the time. Xow we would press the point home again by reference to the Portland case and with the following from the Ore gonian: "It is not so common nowadays to authorize bond issues for public im provements without requiring that a levy shall be made annually for a fund to pay the principal. Good judgment would require that bond Is sues should be paid off by the sinking fund method whether it is required or not. But it is easy to refund, and tax-levying and tax-disbursing bodies are besieged with demands that ex ceed visible revenues. Sinking fund levies are therefore often put off from year to year in the expectation of the easier times in the public treasury which never come. The practice of letting bond obli gations outlive-the improvements con structed from the proceeds works in devious ways against public better ment. "It is the plainest sort of good business policy to pa off indebted ness at least during the life of the improvement for which jt was in curred, but vigilance is required to see that sinking funds are not di verted or levies for sinking fund pur poses are not postponed from time to time." nwiLtii: The Sorehead For years I went to Grocer Gregg's to buy my prunes and cheese and eggs; I went ten thousand times, or more, and wore a path around his store, till every board I could recall, and every nailhead in the wall. And when each month of trade was done, I always paid him hand made mon, and never said "Please chalk it down until my goat comes back to town." Then, for a change, I bought my goods, my prunes and cheese,, at Grocer Wood's. I thought I'd trade there for a while, since change of base is all the style, and then return to Gregg's once more as in the festive days of yore. But meeting Gregg upon the street, and giving Him a greeting sweet, he handed me a frozen stare, as grouchy as a grizzly bear. Oh, he was sore and full of bile because I left him for a while ; he seemed to think he owned my soul and had a mortgage on my roll. The good old years will roll away, and whiskers red will change to gray, and dynasties will rise and burst and bow-wows turn to Wiener wurst before I go to Gregg's again to blow my hard-earned iron men. The merchants in this world of ours should always speak their thoughts with flowers; if they express their thoughts with bricks they drive off patrons by such tricks. WHY THE D Well, it's no longer a , question. The BEND FRUIT STAND is a reality. We are open in the store room recently vacated by the Standard urmture Co. on Wall Street. It is our intention to carry only the very best in Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Give us an opportunity to please you and we will do the rest The Bend Fruit Stand The Oregonian guesses that Celeste Aida is as well known in Bend as on Xob Hill. Question now is, how well is it known on Xob Hill? The child is father to the man, ac cording to the proverb, but in the case of that eight-year-old Chicago girl who is talking incessantly we'd say she was mother to the woman. Polish Melodies. The Poles have remained singularly tree from eastern Influence. Tuelr melodic invention Is sometimes rather limited, but their tunes are always wonderfully embellished, and they of ten make use of difficult Intervals which would seem to be more suitable for an Instrument than for the voice. The effect of Uiese songs Is sad but full of Interest and In hearing them It Is easy to realize that Chopin was thoroughly "national" composer. Why Buried Glass Disintegrates. The bureau of standards says that glass would slowly disintegrate when burled in moist soil. The action on the glass would be due prlmnrlly to water and nlkall. The disintegrating action would vary with the composi tion or character of the glass and the conditions that obtained In the soli. This action would probably be ex tremely slow with any glass, and It would probably be centuries before some class would be completely dis integrated. Pot It in The Bulletin. ALL WELCOME IN LUXEMBURG Little State Cosmopolitan In the Ex. treme, but Second to None In Patriotic Spirit W e live at the crossronils of the nations, remarks the Luxemburg Zel tung. We are of all the peoples of the world those most cosmopolitan In spirit. On July 14 there was a French evening on the parade grounds, and everyone was enthusiastic for France. On July 20 we hnd a Belgian evening in the same place and ngaln everyone was Inspired with enthusiasm. Should there be an American. Italian, Ozecho Slovac or Polish evening any pleasunt summer night, the throng would greet It with the same enthusiasm. We like to have people of other nations as our guests. We wish them to feel at home In our midst. A stranger who does not know us and many -who have lived among us fnll to know us might fancy that we Inck national sentiment. But precisely the reverse Is true. Our natinnnl sentiment Is so deep that we are like a tree whose trunk stands unshaken when Its crown Is rustled hy the wind of sympathy for other countries. v Last Wednesday, after our French and Belgian evenings, we had a Luxem burg evening. The parade ground was too sninll and the tlrinument was too low to oimiiiln the enthusiasm of the multitude. We were at home among ourselves.

HTEPJIKXH, Cashier BEND, OREGON ;ilWtijfi To The Residents of Deschutes County: Business men everywhere agree that the lowest point in the period of depression has been safely passed. In the near future we may expect an even greater prosperity than that of 1919 and the early part of 1920. Although largely an industrial city, Bend has weathered the storm and is in better condition to take advantage of the coming opportunities than is the average city. A majority of the people of Bend learned the lesson of thrift, we believe, and had a reserve to fall back on when hard times came. As a re sult, Bend has known little or no suffering, and business failures were practically unknown. Those who have practised thrift realize fully its value. There may be others who do not. It is to them that we want to emphasize this fact, again and again The habit of saving, . with a constantly growing aacount in the bank, constitutes one of the very biggest assets of which the individual and the com munity can boast. The Central Oregon Bank is thoroughly sold to this idea, and stands ready to help every individual in Bend and Deschutes county to start on the path of thrift. Come in and let us show you how easily the habit of saving grows. A dollar will start an account. . - THE CENTRAL OREGON BANK D. E. HUNTER, President. E. P. MAI!
