Hallmark Jewelers and Opticians i SALEM, OREGON The Herald i-ii To Save Is to Have Suppose you save 23 cents a day. That does not mean much to the average man. You won't miss it Yet that 25 cents a day in ten years grows to nearly a thousand dollars. And the interest, which we pay you for saving your money, brings the total to well over eleven hundred dollars. Think of what you can do with this. Realize Your Dreams Just a few years of small but steady savings will bring you many of the things you are lonk,i. for. Perhaps you want a car. Perhaps you wsnt to buy the farm next to you. Perhaps you want to start a son in business, or to go traveling, cr to educate yourself or your children. Saving will do all these. And test of all, you will have formed the saving habit and will never be one ot the nine men out cf every ten who pass their last years penni-less-in the poor house or depend ent on others. il ;V7 yi j5J jm I p ent on others, lj V j 0) w 1 II IJI I IPU ' I .4: I II ICU'nu H -US T3 4 TT B-Xa IAWA wit: FIRST NATIONAL BANK MONMOUTH, OREGON For any thing you want or don't want try our bargain column.

The wea pon which tlie money lenders use mo.t effectively is interest and their bases of supplies are I auks. In short, banks and interest are the agencies that threaten the founda tion stones of the republic accord ing to Mr. Harvey and we shudder with horror as we read of their pre niciuus activity and with eagerness pass over page after page in quest of the sovereign remedy that will hog tie the two and render them powerless to commit further dam age. It is a sort of anti climax to give the remedies Mr. Harvey suggests, for after getting your feelings worked up to a scheme for abolish ing interest, to merely reduce the rale to two per cent, you feel does not answer the purpose at all. For if ordinary interest is a crime, two per cent interest would still remain crime. Such a remedy would probably appeal to the shiftless and incompetent and this is doubtless the class to which Mr. Harvey ap peals. And as for the substitute foi banks, we feel that government banks which Mr. Hurvey suggests is a poor substitute. Next to try ing to lift one's self over a fence by pulling on one's boot straps is shifting our lack of capacity, abili ty and mental alertness onto the government. life Ten Years Ago MORLAN & SON Monmouth's largest and most complete Conftctlnntry nd Book Stors F.

CHESEBRO If .the price of wheat stands for fie next two months without break ing it will be a fairly good indica tion that high prices are here for a long stay. As far as the West Coast Chau tauqua is concerned, Monmouth thought that the fishing hole that yielded one large trout might logic ally be expected to yield another. While other cities in this section f jllow one another with the same program, Monmouth will have something different to offer the public. Chester H. Rowell, editor of the Fresno, Cal., Republican, worked up a"strong lecture on "The White Man's Last Frontier" which he de livered when the occasion presented itself. He showed that the course of expansion fir the white: man has been invariably westward, as each center has become populated, the surplus had sought new homes until now all available land ha.d been ab sorbed and we pause on the Pacific coast, with our frontier extinguish' ed for to the west we aru confront ed with a civilization older than ours. Here our fror.tinr merges with the frontier of the'mongolians and the fact is bringing up some serious problems. Doubtless the story of the next fifty years of the world's history will deal.'largely with the incidents arlsing'out of the clashing of two civil izations and two sets of ideals. , How ma:iy are there among the reader?, of the Herald who remem ber ' 'Coin's Financial School"? It was a book written by a man nam ed Harvey, dealing with the free silver proposition and as a publica tion had considerable vogue about 1896' The author, who lives at Monte Ne, Ark., sends us his latest production entitled ' 'Common Sense or The Clot on the Br jin of the Body Politic". Since for t he past quart er of a century, ' Mr. Harvey has been looking on the worJd ' through a pair of blue glasses, it , is" .quite evident at the outset, that his lat est is anything but optimistic.
