An Investment
of Happiness
If you haven't a home, if you've spent years of your life
bounding from pillar to rxt 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
jvj want to make happy just consider:
Is it worth while?'
Why not make this INVESTMENT IN HAPPINESS and
make oaoh day contribute its complement of Joy, Comfort,
Satisfaction and Happiness?
Own your own home
Mon'nouth needs home owners worse than it needs houses
to rent. What is wrong with a city or country in which
the business and professional men rent homes? Is it becom
ing old-fashoned-to "own your own home?"
Let us toll you how you can build with the money you
save in rent,

We shoul i be entitled to t little
jubilee at' the completion of the
gravity Water system, t matter
now of two weeks time.
Today marks the finish of the
preliminary political dash in Ore
gon. The winners will now g into
training for the final handicap in
November.
Monmouth needs a weed superin
tendent, some one to keep the abun
dant vegetation down and the need
is especially strong at this season
of the year.
The state chamber of commerce
is doing its best to educate the peo
ple of the state to the fact that the
best and safest way to get your
horn tooted is to toot'it yourself.
If matters take the course that
now threatens we surmise it will be
some time yet before people motor
ing through Oregon will be able to
view the agricultural splendors of
the west side of Willamette valley
over a hard surface highway.
Walnuts and peaches will do well
this year to acquire a garb of
leaves to fay nothing of raising a
crop, t xperts say another winter
will have to be passed through be
fore the trees will show positively
whether they have withstood the
effects of the cold weather last De
cember. Hoover's action in- withdrawing
from the Oregon contest when he
felt the public interest could be
served by "self saricfice of this kind
will'commend him to thoughtful
people. His declaration for the
open shop also marks him as differ
ent than the ordinary politician
whose aim it is to please both sides
and not take a positive stand on
anything. i
Signs are not wanting that the
crest of high prices has been reached
and the decline started, A good
way to cause renewed inflation, if
such a thing is desirable, is to put
out a fresh issue of government
bonds. Like a mar. who was suc
cessful in getting a large loan, the
nation has lived high while the
money lasted. Now the pinch
looms, money grows tighter, inter
est rates rise. As money grows
more valuable its purchasing power
will incrase. The outlook is that
it will still be a long time, a dec-
ade'perhaps, before the bottom is
reached. '
The service the Oregon Voter is
capable of, was illustrated in its
last week's issue when it gave a
series of thumbnail biographies of
the various candidates who are be
fore the voters in the election to
day. So many are the candidates to
be voted on, especially for dele
gates, that a person who votes con
scientiously would have to make a
considerable study of the men and
t.)eir claims for favor. This very
feV have the time or opportunity
to dc1- The naming of such del
egates might well be left to the old
convention method.
as good grounds for complaint.
Hut, It may be askcl, where will be
the ultimate good? While they
may secure negative action and
prevent the commission from curry
ing out its will, it will be hard to
get positive results and force, the
commisison to work where it does
not think it wise to work. This
will mean delay, setting back the
work in the county from one to five
years.
Levi P. Morton' was considered
too old for a renomination at the
time he was vice president when
Bon Harrison ws named for a sec
ond term. Morton was 68 then.
That was in 1S92. Morton died
the other day. aged 9(, having out
lived nearly all of the men 'of his
day.
Our publication day, Friday, is
the day of the primary, and the
fate of the millage bill is being set
tled now one way or the other. Ir
respective of its final verdict, we
believe the press of the state de
serves abundant credit for the man
ner in which it has supported this
measure. This support has not
been in any way perfunctory and
instance after instance can be cited
where state editors have put time
and originality into their publicity,
working with wholesale devotion to
boost the measure. It has been a
spontaneous exhibit of public spirit
that does them credit and argues
well for the future of Oregon.

any other Company operating under
a single name, in this or any other
Conflagration. This Record stands
without a parallel in the history of
Insurance.
