Lazy Dollars
Dollars merely $afe are riot performing
their natural function. They are not
working. They are not doing the owner
or the world any good. '
Moreover, most hiding places thought to
be safe are decidedly unsafe. Not only
thieves, but fire or other unforeseen
happenings may rob you of your wealth.
Saving Is Using
Dollars saved are safer! And they are
constantly working to earn more for you.
They are constantly working for the
.good of the whole community.
Consider this. We pay you

Meditations
Three is a crowd but the uplift-
ers apparently think it is aboit
timsthe political party ways are
crowded again.
The gasoline shortage might say
with a wit of other days ' Iffo
soon I am done for, what the duece
was I begun for?"
Ahnut the ime there are no
houses for sale left in Monmouth
we may expect a building boom to
start.
From the number and speed of
the cars that go scooting by it is
hard to realize there ever was a
gasoline shortage.
The Los Angeles quake may be
due to the fact that Firam Johnson
is retumina home for a period of
- j prepared
meditation 'and then it may have grcmtect
i . .i Lt: kiut i . . .
been causea oy uie assemomns ir

The summer students have already
received an appropriate welcome to
our midst by President Ackerman
and the Herald hastens to second
the motion. ;
1916 to take care of 800. loan
observer it indicates the tendency
of the tiires to slow up In produc
tion. The same leniency may be
noted in berry picking, hop picking
and prune picking. Teople are gen
erally prosperous and pin money
they uted to pick up in other years
in this manner has not the sunie at
traction now. '
Now that the water power bill
has been passed and signed, we
may look for Oregon to make
strides as a manufacturing state.
No part of the nation tits anywhere
near the samean.ountof piwer pos
sibilities as thit which the Colum
bia basin possesses. To develop it
takes money in large turns and leg
islation hitherto has nut been of an
Mieouraiinfl: nature. Power of this
kind will furnish transportation to
our railroads, drive irachmery In
factories, yield the heat for
furnaces, taking the place of the
oal, the lack of which has hitherto
ha.d back the northwest, with
waterpower given a fair chance the
next decade promises some startling
changes in this corner of the Union.

Twenty five cints invested in a

other day within twenty four hours
of the time the paPer was issued
from the Dost office. But tnen it
is getting to be, a fairly easy mat
ter to sell Monmouth property.
Along with n oxious weeds, pest
houses, and oil stock salesmen,
deserve to be classed the contingen
cyfee lawyers.! These people are
like the bluebottle flies and just
about as partwufeir in their profes

While the discordant elements of
tb e Democratic convention have not
.iad auite the quantity Tof press
agent work which the Republican
discordant elements had, they may
spring a surprise by staging a show
fully op to th? standard.
The'first thought of the young
men when confronted with crime in
which an Orego.n chauffeur was mur
dered, was of tbe penalty. They
said they expectod to be hung. By
the time one or t wo murderers are
hung, individuals of that bent of
mind may thinkiof the penalty be
fore they act instead of at'enrard.
