A wet spring is making late gar

Appreciate the wet while you get
it. We willlbe dry enough later on

The prospect is that this" section
of Oregon will do its share in the
production of that bumper wheat

They are still looking for prece

wouldn't want to jig saw from one
corner of the county to the other

The direct route will get the bulk of
the traffic. ' , .
There is more than a surplus of
public enterprises which demand
attention in Monmouth just at pres

successful termination.

The outlook is that Polk county

John Barleycorn ia putting up t
howl.but he will be outlawed in the
near future, and despite bold talk
he wont come back. The Federal
constitution ia a hard obstacle to
surmount. Alcohol will be distilled
for power and fuel instead of devil
ment and destruction and much of
the business which John Barleycorn
monopolized will go to grape Juice,
sweet cider and Loganberry juice.
Which makes the advertisement of
the Pheasant Co. in another column
all the more significant. Everything
indicates that the loganberry indus
try in the Willamette valley is fac
ing a bright future.
It was quite a mouthful that Dr.
Winship said when he talked of the
passing of money as a basis of val
ues to credit as a basis of values.
Under the money system the war
destroyed nothing for gold and ail
ver were not burned,nor fired from
the mouth of cannons, nor sunk Jn
the Atlantic. There is just as much
gold and silver in the world as be
fore the war began. As far ta they
are concerned the world is just as
rich now as it was four years ago.
But credits have been destroyed and
this fact is most important when it
comes to reweaving the fabric of
civilization. -
Athough there was a unanimous
sentiment in Dallas Saturday after
noon for the hard roads project it
must not be hoped this will contin
ue to the polls. The knocker is al
ways with us and long ago he began
digging for the peculiar ammuni
tion of his kind. It will cost more.
You can't get the money. There is
not enough help. The paying won't
last. These are a few of the things
he repeats when he gets a chance
They tell us that paper was never
in such demand as it is at present.
Europe has become a large import
er and whole shiploads are sent to
Asia to supply the demand of the
orientals. Paper making in this sec
tion has greatly increased in quan
tity of production during the last
few years and will expand very
much more in the next few years,
The true citizen sees the project
through. He stays to wind up the
hose after the fire is out. He helps
to clean up and wash the dishes
after the banquet. He helps to r
store costumes and return proper
ties when the amateur show is end'
ed. This is the citizen who can be
relied on to see the Victory loan
through; to help the government in
the clean up process, now that the
war is ended. Buying bonds at this
time is a true test of your' public
spirjt.
One day in December 1897, the
meditator sat in the office of Levy
Mayer in Chicago and heard that
gentleman give an opinion of a case
before him. Of Hebraic cast, black
curly hair, aquiline nose he talked
as if serious things and matters of
large importance were his common
fare, as they were. Apparently he
had no mind for the lesser things
of life. Now he is the actual legal
mind which is seeking to break the
prohibition amendment. The other
day he gave vent to sentiments on
the matter in which such phrases
as "personal liberty" "freedom of
conduct" "confiscation of proper
ty", etc., were frequent. Why
those things have.been bashed, and
chewed over long ago and settled.
Can it be that. Mr. Mayer in his re
search into corporation law, into
the fine points of high finance, into
matters of jurisdiction and juris
prudence, has been unaware of this
great moral fight which the plebe
ian and common herd of mortals
have fought and settled right un
der his nose? Mr. Mayer's educa
tion has been decidedly neglected
and he Is apt to learn few things
before he gets - through with this
particular case. K " f
