An Investment
of Happiness
If you h tvcn't a home, if you've spent years of your life
bounding from pillar to post with the whims and moods of
a landlord constantly at your heels, if you are just "exist
ing" in a crowded apartment, ifyou have a wife and kiddies
y.u want to n ake happy just consider:
e Is it worth while?
Why not make this INVESTMENT IN HAPPINESS and
make each day contribute its complement of Joy, Comfort,
Satisfaction and Happiness?
Own your own home
Monmouth needs home owners worse than it needs houses
to rout. What is wronj with a city or country in which
the business and professional men rent homes? Is it becom
ini old-f..shoned to "own your own home?"
Let us toll you how you can build with the money you
save in r?r.t.

How would YOU
like a raise.
like this?
and for
34 Years Work,
That is the kind of increase in salary
the minister has received. His living
expenses have risen jest as fast and as far
as yours.
But he is paid on the average just 52 cents .
more per church member than he was paid 34
years ago. '
The Minister Niwet Fails You
Every officer of the Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
ofalL
But 80 of the ministers receive less income
than goverriment economists figure as' a minimum
for the support of an average family.
When hospitals need money they enlist the.
support jf the ministers and receive it
But when sickness visits the minister or the
merrily rs of his family they must be treated in a
charij y ward. His pay is less than a day laborer's.
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week about half the pay of a mechanic
We Pay Him Half the Wage of a Mechanic
And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do
yu contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church;
an average of less than 3c a day ii you are a church
member.
All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to
the community. They marry ua; bury us,' baptize our
children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the
spiritual training of the youth.
We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense
Part of the Interchurch World program is this a living
. wege for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant,
and a chance to do a big man's job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It's the best investment for your community and
lor your children that you can ever make.

Hiram Johnson appears to have
run so hard and so fast in the Mich

able to recover his wind and has
made but a sorry showing in the
primaries of the past week.
Advertising, properly handled, is
not an expense but an investment
and one that is capable of yielding
big returns. Good advertising re

plainly to tell them about it.
The proposed millage tax for the
University, Agricultural college
and Normal makes a tax per year
of $1.26 on every thousand assessed
valuation. Of this, the tax for the
Normal is 6 cents for eacn thou
sand dollar of assessed valuation.
A good cigar costs more than that.
Now before the grass gets too
much of a start is a good time to
rake up the rubbish from the road
sides and back lots. Ditto the bal

will be that much less hardware to
dull the edge of the scythe or get
into the sickle (if the mower.
The Oregon Geological commis
sion puts out a booklet this week in
which is published findings of an
investigation into the oil possibili
ties of Western Oregon. As a re
sult the survey which was made by
specialists from Texas finds the out
look poor. Only in the vicinity of
Newport was oil indication encoun
tered and there no bright hopes
were held out. They find that
much of the ruck of the Oregon
coast had its origin in fire, a de
cidedly unfriendly element to epe
troleum deposits.
The Germans trained a nation of
soldiers by laying stress on drills
and the panoply and mechanism of
war. In America we are training
our people to thought and judg
ment by making each voter acquire
a knowledge of and a decision on
public questions for himself. Such
matters as the amendments to be
voted on in May offer a mental dis
cipline that is bound to result in a
quickened intelligence among the
people.
The reader will perhaps remem
ber the milk strike that took place
two years ago among the dairymen
around Chicago; how they stopped
the flood of milK that pours into
the city daily and won the right to
dictate prices on the milk they sold,
a right that heretofore had been ex
ercised by the dealers. This victo
ry resulted in the formation of a
co-operative marketing association
which acts as a selling agent be
tween the farmers and the milk
dealers. The marketing association
is having its first tryout as an insti
tution for the dairymen right now.
March first, the Nestles company
which has a number of large plants
in the district, announced that it
would not deal with the marketing
association but with the farmers as
individuals. Now th association
is at work utilizing means1 of dis
posing of the milk its patrons pro
duce in channels other than
through the NVstles company.
They have bought machinery and
are planning in plate to tuild
large factories as an outVt for the
milk. On a amallerjacale these con
tests have been an annual occur
rence, but now the hrnerj have a
more thorough organization than
they ever before bad and the out
come of the contest will be !ook 'd
forward to with Interest.
The proposed two mills school tux
will go a long way to equalize tax
es. As we understand it this is not
an increase in school taxes but sim-'
ply a rhangtj in the method of rais
ing them. This law proposes to
tax all the properly of the county
equally and then apportion the
money among the districts according
to the number of grade teachers
employed. Any one will readily
see that under this plan the country
districts will get more in proportion
than the city districts' for in the
country the average number of pup
ils per teacher is fewer. At the
same time it will enable such dis
tricts as the Monmouth district to
receive a more equitable proportion
of its school income, for at present
and for years put it has been the
custom of this distirct to educate
the children from neighboring dis
tricts, the tax payers of which es
cape their proportion of school ex
pense and yet profit through the
enterprise of Monmouth citizens.
Under the 2 mill plan it will be no
more profitable to live In one dis
trict than in another. The 2 mill
tax plan will also act to increase
the population of the state. At
present it is the custom of owners
of large timber.tracts and also of
large acreages of wheat land in
Eastern Oregon, to fight the small
schools for these bring in people
and tend to increase taxes and
make it more expensive to hold
their lands. A great deal of this
land will be reached by this pro
posed law that is not now reached
and cannot be reached under the
system where each district levies
its own tax.

prunes as fond.
They are, how
ever, most valu
able foods, ond
as sweets are molt wholesome for chil
dren. Stuffed dates are so well known that
It Is unnecessary to speak of them,
though a variety of stuffing may he
used to vary them. Stuffed with a rich
cream cheese and chopped nuts, they
make a most dainty finish to a dinner,
serving crackers with them and the
small cupful of coffee.

shortening, add three-fourths of a cup
ful of sugar, one well beaten pick, a
cupful of sour milk, In which has been

and the Normal to give this
measure a unanimous vote.
