The Regular Term Begins Sept 20, 1920 Write to the Registrar for a catalog. : 'o Strawberry time is about here. It is a happy frost that ia tem pered to the tender Lean, With three engineers to direct the resurfacing of Main street, a good job should result. For a chunky man Johnson ap pears to be lively on his feet. He is still running in the back counties of Oregon. There was a ring around the moon the other evening. jLet's see. What is it the ring around the moon signifies? We don't think the league of nations cut much of a figure in the election Friday in Oregon. As far as we have noted the average voter is decidedly indifferent to it and has not taken the trouble to reason out in his mind whether he , ia for it or against it. It looks as if the peak of high prices had been reached which will put the buying public to practicing a different sort of strategy. When prices are going up the tendency is t) buy an extra amount to antici- : pate the rise. When pi ices drop the buyer will get as little as possi ble, anticipating the drop. Each action is calculated to speed 'the process. . People said st the time the special session of the legislature fin ished its work that not a measure of those referred would get the ap proval of the people, especially any thing calling for an increase in tax es, wnat, tnereiore, is w oe thought of a victory for all the measures so large that the result was assured almost as soon as the work pf counting the ballots was well under, way. Credit for this change in public sentiment is due to many things. For one' thing, it indicates a considerable measure of prosperity in the state. The com bination of the educational meas ures and the highway measure also served to draw out the progressive voters who supported the whole program from top to bottom.

Jewelers and Opticians SALEM, OREGON The passage of the so called mill- age bill means a great deal to Mon mouth and to the Normal school. For the Normal it put s an end to the pinching parsimony which has acted as a drag on its development. It will enable it to fill existing va cancies in the faculty with new and strong members and to give to the present faculy suitable recom pense. It will enable the school to care for its rural centers and train ipg schools without asking help from the biennial sessions of the legislature. It will enable the re gents to formulate some sort of a building program It will assure future students training of the best character a normal is capable of and should result in a wider field of activity and greater usefulness for the school. For the city it is a vin dication of the enterprise of our citizens who have bonded them selves to put to a gravity water system. It should at the same time spur us on to an increased pride in our city and greater efforts to make it attractive. Nothing is too good for Monmouth. '"" : ' Reading of the account of the highway meeting held in Dallas last Thursday night' as detailed from the viewpoint of the editor of the Independence Enterprise on another page will doubtless awaken various emotions in the breasts of eitirens of this territory especially those cit- iuMia who reside between Monmouth and the I.uikiamute river. All the rest of the county was provided for in the way of hard surface roads in the bond project adopted a year ago, and now if the highway is diverted, this territory with some of the finest agricultural land in the state of Oregon will be left with no Improved road prospects whatever. Everyone is entitled to a guess or two and ye editor sur mites that right now Dallas does not expect to get a relocation of the highway nor do we imagine It plans to go to the length of sUrtin; litigation thut would deprive Polk county of any share of ihat seven million dollars which the passage of the road meas ure Tuesday assures tj the high ways of the state. For if a relo cation is sought there is no nee J ti wait until eperatitns are started south of Monmouth. Paving from Amity to Holmes Gap and from Orr's corners to liickreall is now in progress and these are both counter to the , Rillston li;u. If Dallas and Independence wish to thwart the commission these pio jects invite their attention. We surmise that DalLis realizes that Independence has a very small chance for getting the highway re located and is merely u.nng our neighbor to the east to creatj a demonstration that will ouse the commission to back doxn from its position on the Rickreall-Iallas road. They have a clever group of promoters over at the county seat and the attitude of Independmce fits in nicely at present with their plans just as the attitude of Mon mouth and other towns helped them in getting an exceptionally favor able adjustment of the roads pro jected under the bond issue carried a year ago. These bonds were the result of a meeting that pracically pledged the county to agree to the plans of the state commission for building a di rect route through the county. If the meeting did not mean just that, a pledge of acceptance of the direct route and the adoption of a road program based thereon, it put the men who participated in it In an unfavorable light.
