' United Financial Campaign April 25th to May 2nd INTERCHURCH Wbdd Movement - bf$brthJmerica "Books for Everybody" is the slogan of a group of earnest people who seek a wider diffusion of cut ure among our people. It was also evidently the slogan of a large number of citizens of Seattle, the public library of the city having re ported that 10,000 volumes were taken from their shelves by patrons last year and never returned. When arguments for government ownership of the railroads -are ad vanced it will always be possible to refer back to the war period when in two years time the government lost a billion and a quarter of dol lars in operating the roads on a plan that eliminated many of the costly features Df competition. Here is a specimen of California humor taken from the Stockton Record: "A Hoover vote is worse than lost. It helps Wood." its readers and he who has learned to discriminate In his reading is the most useful of our cltitens. - . , Aii investigation of the state school milk supply was recently made under the direction of State Supt, Churchill an3 It was found that the average number of child ren not getting milk regularly ts a food was 30 per cent, the uiral schools averaging g. eater than the cities. In Monmouth the numVer who go without is test than 20 per cent. As a rule the use pf milk as s food is a matter of education and the tendency where it is com mon is to seek for something hard er to get for, of course, the things which sre most 'costly nd hardest to get are deemed most desirable. If every tax payer in the state of Oregon would give the same care and attention to the "pending of every $K26 which he possesses as many of them do to the $1.26 to every one thousand ' dollars of as sessed valuation which the higher educational tax measure will cott him, he would be much richer at the end of each year. And if each $1.26 he spends is spent as wisely it would redound to the rogress and prosperity of Oregon. Mi a man who spends annually many times this $1.26 in foolish and un necessary expenditures will yet te grudge the small annual sum which the ciuse of higher education musf have if.it is to keep up the work in which it is engaged. Y - Support the Millage Bill Monmouth owes, It to itself and the Normal to give this measure a unanimous vote.

It is a pleasure to note the many expressions of approval of the mil lage bill now being printed editori ally in the rural press of Oregon, In the midst of a flood of material boosting this, that or the other cause that the newspaper man finds occasion to s;ngle out the cause of higher education for commendation must be'received with appreciation It is noted that within the past year clothing has increased in price 64 per cent, lumber 8 per cent, while food has shown a decrease of six tenths per cent. Ihe price of clothing has grown top heavy .and if anything will help it take a tum ble it is the general movement to get into denims. The same purpose could perhaps be better served' by wearing one's old clothing. Wool growers know the price of clothing is greatly out of proportion to what the raw material costs. A general lowering ojf prices would increase the amount of clothing bought and the producers of wool need not fear an oversupply for a long time, But before the business can reach a healthy condition there must be considerable decrease in the cott of the manufactured pro duct. '-.1'.': There are not lacking, the gloom groups to tell us the shortcomings of the Willamette yalley but at any rate it is free from that terror known as the spring tornado. Portland commences the home season leading the coast league and here's hoping that its stay at trie top may be long and prosperous. In this age of moneymaking tha possession and use of books often times appears a stumbling block in the way to the goal. To possess a book takes money which might be spent for some pleasure or invested for a ready return. To read books takes time that might mean the sacrifice of some frivolous pastime or mental work most fatiguing to the indolent. Yet books are the real source of knowledge and lead to the Dower that is more micrhtv r t than brute force, An inquiry'shows that only 27 per cent of the c6un ties of the United States have with in their limits any one library of 5000 or'more volumes. In thirty states the public libraries serve less than half of the inhabitants; in six states less than a tenth and in one state less than a fiftieth of its peo ple, The hope of the nation is in A Good Building Material and an everlasting building mater ial at the same time.
