Public primary schools now cost the taxpayers of Oregon
some $27,000,000 a year. If however, school teachers are to be

scholars as well as instructing them, it will take several times

Why kick on high taxes?
The Farmers Protest
The farmer vote elected Dr. .Renrik Shipstead to the
senate in Minnesota, despite the long service rendered by
Senator Kellogg, it elected uoionei ijumu u

home. It defeated Governor Allen in Kansas and elected a
r t nt ii; in Viia nlana Tt. Hfifpfttpd Senator
Townsend, in Michigan and elected ex-governor Ferris to
succeed him. In Oregon the farmers voted almost solidly for
Walter M. Pierce also a farmer and thereby defeated Gov
ernor .Olcott. . .. . - . .
The reason the farmer all over the nation voted against
the government and against those in office, regardless of
whether they were republicans or democrats, is because the
farmer does not believe that he has been receiving a square
deal and as a matter of fact, he has not been. The farmer
has seen the price of everything he sells deflated, while the
price of everything he buys remains inflated. He has seen
the farmer discriminated against and the profiteer coddled.
He has seen the railroads function fairly satisfactorily for

nearly a billion- He has seen Standard, Oil and other indus
tries declaring dividends running into the hundreds of per
cent while the farmer could not pay taxes.
The farmer intends to have a square deal if it can be
secured by legislation, and unless he gets it, will continue
the political revolt for better economic conditions.

ished after January 1 and the du
ties of that office will be Imposed
upon the state engineer, according
to announcement by Governor Ol
cott, Tuesday.
The abolishment of this orrtre
Is brought about under the pro
vision of an act ot the legislature
of 121. Prior to that time Ore

abolished the two offices of super
intendent of water divisions Nos.
1 and 2 and provided that the su
perintendent cf water division No.
2 should thereafter be known as

This act further provided that
"at any time It appears to the

cating the water rights upon the
large streams ot the state has been
finished to such an extent that
the work can thereafter be carried
ou by the state engineer, the gov

In advising Cochran of the
forthcoming abolishment ot his
office. Governor Olcott declares
that in his opinion the situation
contemplated by the statutes has
arrived.
At Home
Malcolm Starmount gave a low,
pleased, laugh as Mary Devlin ad
dressed him as: ''iny Lord.
He had forgotten the heat, he had
forgotten his ubused stomacn, ne
had forgotten any particular dis
comfort that he had felt he would
have if he talked to anyone, lor
the first time in his life he ha)
forgotten himself in caring for
someone else. For the first time
in his Ufa he was not seeking his
own selfish pleasure. For the first
time in his life he was tasting tho
ior of disinteersted kindness.
"Why did you call me 'my Lord,'
Maryt" he asked with sparkling
eves.
"Because, because that's just
what you are. In a book I read a
while ago the man was so wonder
ful, so good and he was 'my Lord.'
They always called him tnat.
"You mean that he belonged to
some titled class?"
"I don't know what he belonged
to. but I do know that he was al
wave eood, and everybody loved
him. Doesn't everybody love yout"
"I'm afraid not, Mary." -
"Well. Ma and Eddie arid I will

it."
Stavn'imnt grinned' dedidertly..
Tho girl's personality pleased him
immensely. He was growing eager
for the curious adveuture he had
started upon.
There was a shufflTng step on
the stairs and a crippled boy came
out of the darkened doorway, a
faint color in his pale cheeks, his
eyes alight.
C'an I bo Mary! Oh, can I goT
Did he honest say I could got Mary
will he let me go I" The words fair
ly tumbled out of the eager mouth.
Sure he will, Kddio. My iora
said he would take us all to his
house for a visit."

die awesomely.
No sonny," laughed Btarmount,
lifting the child up in the car. ''I m
only a fellow. Some say a devilish
good fellow. ' Others, and I guess
there are more of them, say l am
the devil himself.'
Eddie drew away from Malcolm
Starmount, hut Mary slipped her
hand into his and whispered: -"I
don't care what anyone calls you.
You're 'iny Lord.' "
Officer Mulcahy brought out the
trembling gaunt form of Mary's
mother. The old lady seemed but
a bundle of rags with a wrinkled
face above" them.
"Get in, Ma! Get in, quick," call
ed Eddie eagerly, as the woman
drew back uncertainly.
"Yes, he's going to take us. He
said he would and we are going to
tav at his house a week. He told
me so and my Lord nover lies,'
Mary assured the old lady.
Starmount felt a flush of red go
ing over his face that was not oc
casioned by tae neat as umcer
Mulcahy looked at him with a puz
zled egression. And then, as
thouch he could not understand but
as though he was going to sea the
thing through, Mulcahy got up be
side the chauffeur again.
Mary helped to put her mother in
one corner of the roomy, back seat,
then cuddled herself up beside Star
mount again.
Mulcahy reached over and took
Eddie upon his lap. "Do you want
to see how they drive a car, eont
The chauffeur's face was impas
sive as he turned to Starmount ques-
tioningly. v

ren's shouts were
tance.
Ma. seemingly exhausted with her
attempt to understand it all, lean
ed back against the soft cushions
of the motor and closed her eyes.
She was so quiet that a sudden fear
Mushed Starmount 's heart. Was
she deadf
Mary relieved his mind of this
idea as she asked: "Oh, Ma, isn t
it lovely f He is taking us just be
cause I fainted down at Cohen's
and he felt sorry for me. When I
told him I couldn't go and take a
rest and love his dog without you
he said that he would take you,
too."
Tho woman opened her eyes wear
ily and with a eudden surprise Star
mount realized that those eyes, al
though faded and worn and utterly
sad, were the same warm, brown
color as those of the girl leaning
against his shoulder. v "
He found himself still holding the
little, convulsive hand of Mary-a
he pointed out the Interesting places
along the way. " Suddenly he ;be-
came aware that neither of his
guests was listening. The mother,
lulled by the cooling air, had gone
to sleep and Mary was looking at
him as though a question on her
lips must be voiced immediately.
"What ia itl What is it, dear
child f"
"Where's your Ma, my Lord! I bet
Bhe is just waiting for you to come
and we've made you late.
'I never knew my mother, Mary
She died when I was born."
"Any brothers and sisters!"
"I never had any."
'Haven't you got anyone to lovej
yout"
'I haven t anyone Not even a
wife."
"I'm glad of that, 'cause I'm al
most sure that a wife wouldn't like
so many dropping in to supper unexpected-like."
Starmount laughed so loudly that
he woke up Mary'e mother. She
smiled as she caught a glimpse of
the sea through the trees.-
As they turned into the exten
sive grounds Starmount noted with
surprise a number of automobiles
lining the driveway. And he swore
under his breath, as he caught a
view of tho broad terrace on which
an animated, laughing group of men
and women in fantastic dress had
gathered to greet him. ..

Women the Greatest Buyers
in the World
There are 22,000,000 . homes in the United States.
The women who buy for these homes spend on the aver
age $500 each, or a total of $11,000,000,000 each year.
That is more than $36,000,000 every working day- Every
year it amounts to half as much as America's Liberty
Bond issue. .
i .
Each woman is a part of this army of buyers, and each,
if she will, may be guided to wise and economical pur
chases if she will but make up her mind each day to read
as many as she can of the advertisements which manu
facturers are printing for her benefit.
The advertising in every newspaper and every maga
zine is a buying guide for this greatest buying force in
the world. This advertising makes it safe and easy for
every member of this buying army to make her
purchases.
It establishes in her mind a buying habit and gives her
a preference of one brand of goods to another or an ad
vertised article to one that is unknown.
It identifies for her a certain product as being stand
ard, so that she may easily dodge the wiles of sellers who
try to sell something that is not so good.
It fixes merit as an everlasting adjunct to certain
articles. .
It makes her know that the manufacturer who is
proud of his product and jealous of his reputation and
chacacter cannot do otherwise than make his product at
least as good as he says it is.
More than likely it is better.
Advertising points out where this greatest buyer in all
the world's history may find quality goods by showing
her pictures of them over and over again which enables
her to recognize them easily and quickly.
