One reason is the big shortage there is in the world of manufactured products. With shipping idle and stagnation in the cotton and wool market and a general indisposition to do business in many lines, it is only because on i falling market people will not act until they feel the bottom of the market has betn reached. Neither is a manufacturer going to buy labor at a high price when he feels it is going to be cheaper. Sooner or later the bottom will be reached however, and then the law of sup ply and demand will operate aagin. People who foresaw disaster for the state highway system when Commissioner Benson resigned mjst be reassured with the appoint ment of John B. Yeon as his succes- sor. It was feared that with the departure of the man who was the driving force of the commission, changes might be introduced, leg' islative action taken perhaps, that would make the state board a ser ies of local units, each seeking its own ends without regard to the state as a whole, and a system of unity would be sacrificed. Mr. Yeon's record and reputation, how ever, are assurances that the Ore- ogn highway system will have a re newed lease of life and the govern or and business men of Portland who would not take "No" as an answer from the builder of the Columbia highway, are to be com mended for their action. Here are a few things for which to be thankful this year of 1920.' That crops have been good, and even though prices are dropping, there is demand in the country that will sooner or later absorb all that is nlTerc-d. That the election is over and cam paign debts paid and still enough left to buy a Thanksgiving turkey. That women have secured suffrage and now will no longer be able to blame the men for all the faults of government. That election day comes before Thanksgiving day instead of after it, otherwise the crow3 would not all have been disposed of and might have had to substitute for the sletk and fat barred rock rooster. Because the millage bill put the Oregon Normal on its feet and will enable it to perform much more effective work for the schools and teachers of Oregon. For health and strength and friends, a combination which, when it is in working order, is hard to beat on the list of things to be thankful for. For the completion of our gravity water system, one o" the real events In the history of Monmouth, which occurred during 1920.
