WITJ FIRST NATIONAL BANK MONMOUTH OREGON some people are ' customed to re for to without the "the" and say "Gract IKilliir" instead "f "The Uraoe Dollar . Some ship captains are accustomed to name tlieir ships with their own name. Thus if we read, The Captain Christopherson was washed ashore and Captain Christopherson rescued, we know which was which without further inquiry. Ijinicuajre is the vehicle of thought, the means of publishliiK information and newspaper publish' era should oppose a fad that tends to cri pple its usefulness. We trust that Herald readers will not fail to read the aerial story "Pieces of Kittht" soon to commence publication in these col umns. It is a story by Kichard LeGallienne, one of the foremost literary men of the day, but there is in it no pretense at fine writing. It is a plainly told talc, charmingly preposterous, winding along from one entertaining situation to an other. Don't miss it.

GOOD runNiTunt IS YOUR DUTY TO YOim home; It may have occurred to many people that the fact that the power was off from 4:30 until 9:00 Tues day evening might make an apprec iable sized hole in the revenues of the rower company for those are the hours when everyone uses ele t'icity and hundreds of meters through the country cheerfully click away their registration of the amount of juice used. But it was not all Ifss for some of our mer hants went home at closing up time in the dark, forgetting their lights were on and so when the streets were deserted and the pow- tr came baoK agam me i ignis l la'.ed and twinkled away through t'le night Some residents of the city also went to bed and to sleep before nine and awoke at various stages of the night to wonder if burglars were in the house and why the interiors of their homes were brilliantly lighted. It is a truth that only when we have to do without it do we realize what a part electricity has in mod ern life, and what a wonderful thing it is. Something happens; someone throws a lever several miles away and instantly the effect is felt. Lights flicker and go out; with a gasp, the type setier ceases t) respond to the key board. The churn at the creamery stops, the ice machine takes a vacation; the lapv with the electric hair curler post ones her work of improving on nature to a more favorable mo ment. The heat under the biscuits in the oven of the electric range sudJenly takes wing; the tripham mer in the blacksmith shop; the rolls in the mill; the clay mixer in Vie tile yard, all stop until some oie several miles away pushes the lever batk into place once more. Quiet, lireless, clean, tne myster ious current takes up its wjrk and v.e stop thinking about it, accept it as commonplace, until something happens to interrupt the regular routine again.

Good Furniture Is Our Pledge to You MONMOUTH HARDWARE J. E. Winegar, Proprietor Read your own Herald $2.00 per year It is said of the late M.M. Jones that he had a smile for everyone. Conversation with him usually left the party of the second part in a more contented frame of mind. Some men insist on sharing their grouches with their neighbors; there are people you remember because of some ptty, mean trick they have played on you . Some are so engrossed with their own affairs that they do not take enough in terest in anyone outside the beaten track to smile with him; some sur round themselves with such a n&r- row bound of social, political or re ligious preferences that they can not tolerate an open mind. We bring nothing into the world with us, we take nothing away. A man whom you can remember because of the pleasure he has given you has surely not lived in vain. Oregon Exchanges, published tjy the School of Journalism at the state university criticizes the habit of placing "The" before the name of a newspaper as, The Monmouth Herald, The Salem Swashbuckler. May we not suggest that the "The" helps to distinguish between the inanimate and the animate. Thus we could say, The Review of Reviews and Harper's Weekiy.
