To Help You Win
Riches power happiness. The average
man places these as his goal He dreams
about having them.
But the average man is slow to take a prac
tical step towards that goal. He is content
to dream about it and never gets there.
The most practical start is to start a savings
account. Rockefeller had to gave his first
thousand dollars. It earned the rest of his fortune.
Character Earns Crei'it
Saving men not only have capital for their efforts.
In saving, they establish a reputation which wi'.lnake
it easy to secure additional capital when necessary.
A farmer has frequent need for capital if he is
striving continually to improve his property. How
important it is then that he build up his credit
establish his char
acter.
The easiest and
quickest way is to
start savings account

MONMOUTH HARDWARE
J. E. Winegar, Proprietor
With the present rate of increase
in the cost of paper, a dollar bill
will soon he" worth two dollars.
Prices do not appear to be fulling
so fast ns to tike any one's breath
away.
This is the season of the year
when the silo gets all that is com
ing to it.
Election will soon be over and in
stead of being Republicans or Dem
ocrats, we all will become once
more, just plain Americans.
Did you e,ver stop to think what a
bright person you would be if you
could only have retained all the
wisdom you had stored up at eighteen.
The maple leaves are dropping on
the bier of another summer and,
facing the prospects of winter, the
head of the house again ponders
the i roblem of what has become of
last summer's wages.
It is hard to imagine MacSwiney,
mayor of Cork, going down in the
heroic class of Joan of Arc and
Robert Emmett. Owen McGary or
Terrence O'Dowd would have been
considerably more euphonious.
The development of Portland aids
the development of all the sur
rounding valley towns. For this
reason Portland should be allowed a
free rein in its port development,
especially when the cost is to be
borne by Portland.
Speaking of utility, there is a
great chance for Luther Burbank
to evolve a plant from the Sunflow
er, the Dahlia and the Potato that
will produce edible products above
and below ground and produce an
ornamental plant that will delight
all who behold.
The governing job in Monmouth
appears to be more attractive than
it is in our neighbor burgs where
citizens have to be hauled in off the
streets and made to serve. Here
we make an all evening job out of
balloting for candidates for council-men.

problem now is to get enough Re
publican votes to offset the Demo
cratic votes he will lose on the pro
ject. There is a Considerable fol
lowing to both fidts, althmh we
believe the great bulk of people are
indifferent uul will base their votes
on matters entirely separate and
apart from any sort of league of
nations. The personalities of the
candidates, the manner of adminis
tration, the prospects of bu.iness,
the question of lux enforcement of
lio,uor laws, the shifting of tax bur
dens, protection and development
of industries, a greater or lesser in
fluence of government on public util
ities, business methods of a.lminis
trating puhilc affairs, lire m liters
all of which will hnve deciding in
fluences. In making any prediction
as to the outcome of the election,
another matter must be considered.
There are three lesser parties n
the field. Fiom which party will
the socialists, the farmer-lator par
ty and the industrial-la! or party
draw their votes? Now we may
speculate; a week from today, we
will know.
Oppoiei Four Year Term
Editor of the Herald: 1 beg space
in your paper to say that among
the many amendments that we ure
soon to vote upon, there is one that
if the people will give it ci reful
consideration, they will give it a
negative vote, the one refer to ex
tends the term of office to certain
County Officers to four years, the
argument put up in its favor is
that we will be better able to keep, ..... , ,
efficient officers. People are not
worried so much about keeping
the efficient officers as they are
about getting rid of the inefficient
ones. Under the is measure the in
efficient officer wouldjpractically be
on our hands for four yean; under
the present term of office, if he
should prove efficient the people
would be more than glad to put him
in for two more years. Hiey tllJ
us it will be less expensive, well I
don't know what is mreo expensive
and annoying than huving to keep
in office an officer tliat is inefficient.
I think the expense to the county
would over balance any saving; that
might be made in extending the
term to the efficient officers.
The recall? Well that has been
tried a few times and found to be
quite expensive and unsatisfactory.
Therefore, be careful how you vote.

Bryan never was called on to
play a more difficult part than the
one he has in the present campaign.
To bcjboiling overjmentally and yet
to keep still must be hard on
man to whom talking is a fine art.
He will have retained his own self
respect, however, and will emerge
with added prestige.
Sometimes the best officials of a
city are unofficial. Thefpublic spir
ited man who is willing to drop his
business and work unselfishly to
avert a public danger when it ap
pears, is an asset to any commun
ity. Monmouth has citizens whose
value to it cannot te computed in
dollars and cents. The fact that
they are fellow citizens adds value
to the town as a school town and a
city of homes.
