It has, how- population that was interested in ever, what is said to be the largest good roads and with clever manip- fertile plain in the world. The cap tation talked conflicting interests to death. The west side w ith its farming interests seeking a way to market, deserved attention from the highway men but just at present the prospects are not bright to se cure it. on 5 Monmouth Meditations 0 oc 5 Any one who longs tor a more pleasant winter than the one we have had so far would be hard to suit. Traffic on Main street is increas ing materially and the paving is be ginning to show the effects of it. The number of vehicles on the street last Saturday afternoon was es pecially notable and gave us quite a metropolitan appearance. This is the revival season of the year when persistent effort is made all along the line to increase church attendance, a movement in the right direction and one that de serves a boost from every thought ful person. Should the proposed new cream ery be started in Dallas it might cut in some on the local trade, but it will also develop an increased num ber of dairy cows in this section. This part of Polk county is capable of sustaining many more dairy cows and the increase of the dairies will improve its soil. Also it will give the co-operative idea a chance to test itself and co-operation is ca pable of meeting any kind of competition. Twenty-five thousand dollars a year for two years is the sum asked of the legislature for advertising purposes, to make known its re sources and opportunities to people who might be induced to come in and make their homes with us. It looks like a big sum to a state which is working away at its finances with a paring knife, but really, if the money is economically and judi ciously expended it will be worth while. Oregonians are all satisfied with their state and have faith in it. It impresses new comers favorably. It can be mathematically demon strated that every additional inhab itant to a state adds money value to its resources. There isn't a state in the union which has the same amount of desirable land for the settler as Oregon. New blood in the state would help its finances, lower its taxes, and increase the spirit of enterprise therein. Moderately young people can re call the evolution of the phonograph from the time it made its first ap pearance with the rubber tubes, which the listener placed in his ear, to the machine which is now capa ble of filling a large hall with its volume of sound. It has steadily been improved until its scope is wonderful, and yet its development has a great deal ahead of it. Some dav manv kinds of instruction will be done by means of the phono graph. The pupil will insert the record, move the lever, and the in struction will begin.

He said that Polk county has the best school houses and the sorriest teach ers in its rural districts of any county in the state. Although Polk county furnishes many students to the Normal it will be noticed that the great bulk of them go away from the county to teach. Just an other illustration of the saying that a prophet is not honored in his home country. On Wednesday of this week the bone dry law went into effect The telegraph operators of Portland are just recovering from the exhausting work they had the last day when telegrams for liquid refreshments were allowed. The only dispenser of refreshments that Monmouth has ever had is the agent of the express company, at present Mr. Deakin. Mr. Deakin tntorms us that he is glad to be out of the business, that he is reducing the bar to kindling wood and thinks seriously of pre senting his apron to the Herald force to be used in the regular ave nues of the art preservative. Now we will have the disposal of the present stock of liquid joy and when that is gone we will be bone dry in fact as well as in name. italof Argentina has nearly two million inhabitants. The products of the nation are increasing very rapidly and the nation is bound to take an important place in the world. i M The break of official relations with Germany, which has not yet reached the condition of actual war fare, is what any student of the trend of affairs could have expected, although its coming fills peacefully inclined people with dread. The in vasion of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusitania, incidents which have outraged the sensibilities of men and women the world over, are only two of the incidents by which Ger many has sought to make war horri ble. Now, asking for peace, a re- Quest which her enemies are not willing to grant her, she has evi dently grown desperate and has as sailed the dignity of the United States to such an extent that the president has seen fit to align us with her opponents. Before the break comes, as one American to another, we may well ask what are we going to do? What part will we take in the big war that is going on across the ocean? Already 50, 000 Americans are serving in the allied armies in France. It is not at all likely that public sentiment here would warrant the raising of an army to join in the battles in France and the Balkans. Besides, it would take a year to prepare and drill them and by that time the war will be over. An English statesman, Lord Northcliff , has seen and settled that. He said in effect: "We will finish the fighting job and America can finance Italy, Russia and the Balkans." There you have it. Who in America would be bold enough to suggest such a thing? No. Ameri ca's operations are apt to be con fined to the high seas. As Germany has no navy on the high seas we will have to content ourselves with chasing her submarines. As such, our enmity will not be a great deal worse for Germany than our friend ship. More, it will be to her dis tinct advantage for now America will be one of the parties in dictat ing terms of peace. The war will be harder on us than peace how ever for it will nourish the jingo spirit It will add greatly to our national debt It will encourage enlistments and will give us an army, something we have tried hard to get by peaceful means. These are a few angles of the war move as they appear to us. n The Roof Over Your Head As an example of and unadulturated boiled down have defective eyesight, stubbornness, j 1 commend us to the clashing courts; from time to time the bent for of Polk and Marion counties.
