Ail Investment
of Happiness
If you haven't a home, if you've spent years of your life
bounding from pillar to pest with the whims and moods Jof
a landlord constantly at your heels, if you are just "exist
ing" in a crow ded apartment, ifyou have a wife and kiddies
you want to make 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
Monmouth reeds home owners worse than it needs houses
to rent. What is wrong with a city or country in which
the business and professional men rem homes? Is it becom
ing old-fu.shoned to "own your own home?"
Let us tell you how you can build with the money you
save in rent.

There was a ring around the

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.

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.
