IS An Investment of Happiness If you haven't a home, if you've spent yeirs of your life hounding from pillar to post with the whims and moods Jof a landlord constantly at your heels, if you are just "exist ing" in a crowded apartment, ifyou have a wife and kiddies you want to n ake happy just consider: 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 .

A CERTAIN man in New York filled out 'his income tax report " It showed an income so large that his tax was 53. And his total gifts to church andch&r ity for the year were $148. Think of it thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world e little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that ; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is less than we spend for daily papers less than a local telephone call less than a third of the day's car fare . less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80X of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only ' one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat It isn't because we are selfish ; it isn't because we r don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever pot up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the - possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol i lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam- paigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America to you this week asking you to use them as the chan nel through which a certain definite part of your income can be be applied to make this a better woild. Only you can determine what part of your income that ehould be. !:'s a good time right now to answer that question. We're passing through the world just once; how much better will the world be because 7011 passed through?

If we don't have a good fruit crop this year it will not be be cause of unfavorable weather in blossom time. All states look ' alike to Hiram Johnson and while he is consistent ly among the leaders, east and west, a deeper pall of gloom settles about the office of the esteemed Los Angeles Times. when planting and harvesting times call he turns i deaf ear to every thing and everyone else. Having been located several times we wonder if the West Side Pacific highway is to be located again. We surmise the trouble with the Inde pendence scheme Is that it is planned for the southeast corner of Folk county and not for the whole Willamette valley. ureeders rrom other states are coming in to the Willamette valley and buying stock for their own herds. They evidently know where good stock is bred ani as for the valley it will now have to go to work and raise some more. A magaiine article onys Die horse is coming back to its own, explain ing that rich people are renewing and re-establishing their stnhles seeking for some mode of convey ance that will distinguish them from the common herd that uses a ear. Just how long the fad will last is for tho future to determine. Support the Millage Bill Monmouth owes It to Itself and the Normal to give this measure a unanimous vote.

Political Advertistng For Joint Representative I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of Joint Representa tive for Polk and Lincoln counties, subject to the will of the Republi can Voters at the primary election May 21st. George T. Gcrlnger He who steals my purse steals trash asserts the Bard of Avon and he or she who takes delight in steal ing the flowers from the door yards of private houses, takes something that does an injury to the moral character of the vandal; takes some thing that requires time and care to grow and also takes a fall out of the pride and spirit that seeks to make Monmouth a beautiful place in which to live. While switchmen strike and quit their jobs and the railroads have hard work to find men to replace them, the report that oil had been struck in small quantities at a place in Nevada was sufficient to bring to the site men by the hundreds and thousands. It isn't exactly money that is the thing desired. There must be a certain amount of novelty and excitement connected with it. The railroads would do well to change their bait. The supreme court has increased the amount allowed on brief print ing from $1 to $1 .25 per page, ex actly one fourth additional to meet a one hundred per cent increase in costs. There are still a few news papers, but not many, who hold to the subscription price prevailing four years ago. The Herald's ex perience is that its subscribers re alize the force of extra costs and pay the price cheerfully. There is no sophistry or fanatical delusion that can charm men s minds long away from the power of habit. The farmers in the Bol shevik army are feel ing the call of spring, the time when the ground is prepared ana planted, and are d eserting the army.
