How much should I give
to make this a better world?
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?

The late Mr. Emerson might
have found another confirmation of
his law of compensation from the
fact that while the Republicans
have Senator Johnson, the Demo
crats have Governor Edwards of
New Jersey.
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.

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. The true ag
riculturist may be lured from home
to repair roads, run for Congress
air theories, discuss politics, con
duct benevolent drives, attend the
sessions of the fraternal orders, and
may even be persuaded to arm himj
self and charge against windmills,
during the off seasons of work, but
