Monmouth
Meditations
The juice that tickles the pal
ate of W. J. B. is about to trickle
forth from the press.
There i9 some talk of putting
the sun on an eight hour sched
ule and extending the cherry
season a few weeks.
The Salem bridge matter hav
ing been settled to the satisfac
tion of all parties concerned may
now have to be settled again.
Following its session this year
in Portland the N. E. A. next
year will assemble in Milwaukee.
Which is not as abrupt a change
as might be suspected.
Some of the housewives of
Monmouth will be able to add
another to the classified list of
8 wts on the front room rug-asphalt
spots, tracked in by youthful
and older investigators of paving.
The school teachers at Portland
were treated to an exhibition in
Portland last week of how aliens
are naturalized and many of them
thought the process almost as
staggering as writing for a cer
tificate.

arranged for. But because the
fresh erade should have a year
to settle before being finished'
with a top surface ot concrete, u
is likely that Polk county will
have to wait a year , for state
work.
A copy of the "Kelsonian" of
Kelso, Wash, reaches us Wis
week with a news item to the
effect that Messrs. Murdock and
Scheible had moved their cream
ery from the old to a new loca
tion, the last a fine building erec
ted for the purpose. The descrip
tion of the machinery and inter
nal arrangements of the cream
ery show it to be up to date and
modern in every respect. An ice
plant is run in connection to sup
ply the creamery and the coun
try around with ice.
The government is engaging in
the newspaper business in a dual
capacity. In the first place it
censors news reiaung to uie
great war. In the second place it
maintains a small army of editors
and contributors who keep a con
stant stream of material flowing
into the newspaper offices of the
country. It is evident that one
McAdooisheld in high esteem
among many of these Federal
Greeleysand the rather prosy
remarks that fall from his lips
from time to time are constant
ly quoted and referred to. If only
a fraction of this matter was
used by accommodating publish
ers, Mr. McAdoo would be one of
the best advertised men in the
country.
President Wilson's appeal to
the business interests of the
country to be content with aver
age profits was timely and direct
ly to the point His admonition
that now at a time when the
masses are making great sacri
fices, those in condition to do so
should not exact extortionate
profits, was one the country
would do well to heed. However
there is little prospect that the
business interests of the country
Any one who follows the news
reports about the I. W. W.; the
crimes it is charged with, the
iJeals it is alleged to aim at; will
get some insight as to how the
gospel of hate is made successful
in Germany.
If the volunteer plan had
worked out as well in all states
as in Oregon there had been no
need for selective conscription.
Oregon has only a handful to
raise with the first draft and
came close to missing the call
entirely.
