Exclusive -List Plans Developed Office Cat (Copyright 1921 by Edgar Allan Hons.) The board of education of the Salem district will submit to the voters at the annual school election June 20 the ques tion of a special levy for 10 mills for the coming year. This is an excess of one and a half mills over the six percent limitation provided by the constitution. Unless the mill and a half excess levy is voted, we are told it will be necessary to eliminate or at least curtail manual training and domestic science in the junior high schools, the Realtors school librarian, commercial work, physical training, use ot the Y. M. C. A. or gymnasium, school doctor and school nurse. The permitted levy of 8 12 mills provides a revenue of $107,000. The excess tax will increase this to $125,000. This is further increased by the state taxes to $150,000. The tax for this year was the heaviest on record, 13.3 mills, vieldinc a revenue of $166,404. It was necessitated tk ;Dff f A.M A,ta fr.

The debts have been cleaned up, teachers' salaries are on the normal basis again and the emergency has passed. No one believes in crippling the schools or in unnecessarily stinting them. The present however is a time for strict economy and no time for extravagance. Many of the frills 1 mittee appointed for that purpose, Association Plans Better Service for Clientele and Ad vertising County With a view to giving their clientele better service and to eliminate confllction in the sell ing of real estate, and further to not be turned Into the central of fice. The majority of the realtors Heel that with the funds opened from the 10 per cent clause in the plan, the association can carry on a wide campaign of the advan tages of Marion county, and can give financial suppor t to any movement to further its develop ment. Time Saved. Considerably more service and a saving of time can also be allowed the client in the plan, the members conteud, because of the fact that there will be the whole association of 65 members working on the sale of bis property while at the most the property should be listed with a very few dealers under an open contract. iJ, May M l property for sale consummates the deal through the owner instead of through the agent who has spent his time in trying to find a pur- chaser, the Marion County Real tors association, through a com Progress 1910 Where are you going, tiy pret ty maid?"

"To dance you boob don t you get Kay!" "May I hang on while you terpsi- chore?" "Break In! flet wise Don't ask any more." When you consider the fre quoncy of the phrase, "Senate takes steps," In newspaper head lines, don't you wonder why It never seems to get anywhere? It may have been a typograph leal error or It may not. But any how a grocer recently announced to his patrons that "I will save your money." Still It's nice to know that there's somebody who can do It. For Bald Heads To produce hair on a bald head, soak the head In salt water until the hair gets ry. and when It comes out tor a drink grab it and tie It In a knot. Here's Office Diplomacy, Girls The "dear thing" entered the office smilingly and stated that she was a stenographer, and came In reply to his ad. The boss sur veyed her with Intereat. She was very nice to look upon would make a splendid stenog. The boss tibbetl his bald head and Inquir ed: "Who was your last employer?" (t was the customary Interroga lon. you know. "Smith company."

Mrs. Smith was lway bobbing into the office." "Yea." "And one day " "Go on." "And aay, what salary rs with thla Job?" "Well, business Is not very " "As I was saying, one day Mrs. Smith came rushing In and " "Yea." "Caught me kissing my em ployer. I would not accept a posi tion at lees than $40 a week." "A mere trifle, Miss, a mere trifle. You start In the morning." can be profitably eliminated. With manual training and domestic science taught at the high school, the teaching at junior high schools is largely superfluous and can be dis pensed with. With our present resourceful management physical training and other important work, need not be neglected. Taxes in Oregon increased 585 percent in the past ten years. In this period the state increased in population but 16.5 percent and in assessable wealth but 23 percent. Tax increase for the past year was 26 percent and of this increase, 78.5 percent was for educational purposes. The adoption of the 2 mill state school tax was designed to equalize school taxation and lower district school taxes but instead it has stimulated it. As much of the high taxation the state is staggering under is due directly to the high cost of schools, we believe the time has come to make at least a sane begnining in tax reduction by curtailing expenditures to the constitutional limit. With the substantial aid now received from state taxation, there is no emergency calling for piling the burden any heavier on the taxpayer. If the proposed extra tax was essential the school board would have endorsed it. That the board does not request it is proof enough that it is not needed. The proposed extra levy should be defeated. Housewife's Opportunity Although it is almost strawberry time and this is one of the largest berry districts in the country, canneries have made few contracts with growers and the market outlook is uncertain. This is because berries commanded such a high price last year that the public refused to buy the products and much of last year's output is still on hand. Without customary orders, canners have difficulty in financing their operations. This condition is not local, but applies through out the country. Some operators are reported to be willing to advance growers money for picking the crop, process it and sell when demand materializes on share basis. Others are planning to ship the berries to the fresh fruit markets of other cities. and others to barrel the fruit until there is a market. Others will probably be in the market before the sesaon closes. Those growers who repudiated long term contracts will probably be losers in the long run. Strawberries are among the finest fruits grown and with the prospect of an abundance of cheap berries and cheap sugar, every housewife should plan to aid the farmers as well as satisfy the palates of the family, by canning, preserving and otherwise processing an ample supply this year. It has been years since such opportunity has offered, and it may be years before it offers again. President Harding is consulting the "best mnids" of Wall street in the effort to find out where he is at. Let us hope that out of the numerous conferences emerges a definate policy of some kind.

When put Into the reformatory lor boys at Joliel. Illinois, Canada Blackie was said to be one of the "worst pots ot human brutality on the map." Later it was robbery and the killing ot the watchman which sent him to the Clinton prison.

The plan as worked out by the committee which reported at a re cent meeting of the association, and to which there was some oppo sition is in substance this: The establishment of a central office and the employment of a secretary whose duty It shall be to receive, index and file all listings turned in by members of the board, copy them and furnish each mem ber with a copy on the day fol lowing its receipt at the central office.

Alicia Hammersly A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry By Idah McGlone aibsor The Noted Writer -4 Wal's TeleflTam When we returned from the ride we found a telegram for Hal. Al ter reading it, he said reluctantly: "Alicia, I shall have to leave you nine o'clock tonight." "But I thought you were going to stay two or three days, Hal," I protested. '1 had intended to, but this tele eram makes that impossible. The committee that passes on our con tracts will be in session in Wash ington tomorrow afternoon, and I can just make It tl 1 start to night.

Some day when we are old, I shall probably sit down and tell you how unworthy I have been of your love and devotion. Oh I hate to leave you. It just seems as though I cannot let you out of my arms.
