tage Four NpKuvMrKNCE ENTERPRISE JULY Independence Enterprise Published Every Friday by i Z. a KIMBALL. Subscription Rates One Year WjJ Six Months l7& Oregon, with its wonderful fields for development, teeds more money instead of less. And yet one of the measures which will appear upon the ballot this fall would make the legal jjate of interest four per cent, with five per cent the maximum rate on contract. If by some freak it should pass, what a predicament Oregon would find herself in. China, with her stone-wall, would be a real 10 cial body compared to this state. Not a cent from outside investors and every available ors here would Beek a more remunerative clime. Cheap money is a fine and dandy ar rangement, but so long as the de mand exceeds the supply a reduction in interest rates is not going to be come effective. During all of these days of skyrocketing prices en most things it can be said to the credit of the bankers of Oregon, generally, that they have kept interest rates m consistently low "as possible. Big corporations needing large amounts of money have had to advance their interest rates. What would they do or anybody else for that matter, if five per cent should become the maximum charge? ' The answer is simple enough. They would find the strong boxes empty. SclioblNofe NORMAL NOTES Mr. A. E. Ingraham, principal at Summerfield, Oregon, was inter viewing prospective teachers for his school on Monday. Mr. Ingraham is a former Normalite and gave the students some good advice in chapel hour. Mr. Gentle represented the fac ulty in chapel last Friday. He gave an interesting discussion of the three-fold nature of the present day curriculum in elementary schools. The afternoon sessions at the Nor mal this week have been moved up to 1:15 instead of 1:30, with thirty-five minute periods. This gives the students an opportunity to attend the Chautauqua. Miss Mamie Radabaugh, critic in the Monmouth training school, spent last week-end with friends here. Miss Radabaugh has had a year's leave of absence which she has spent at the University ofOregon from which she will graduate this summer. President Ackerman reports a very energetic group of people in the Normal extension at Pendleton. He is much pleased with the work being doae there. Mr. J. V. Bennes, the architect in charge of the building program, has plans ready for an extended en larcement of - the heating plant This is probably all the building that will be done this autumn. Mr. and Mrs. Butler entertained the -members of the faculty at their home very happily last Sunday evening. Students have been interested in the poster exhjbit in the corridor near the library this week. The posters are sent out by the National Child Welfare association and are intended to stimulate attention to better reading for children. Mrs. Ackerman is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Lunn, at Corvallis this week.- Father O'Hara who is now con nected with the University of Oregon gave an excellent talk at the chapel hour Wednesday morning. home brewers will use no one knows or can find out. The quantity will be fairly large, no doubt, but not large enough to make much of an impression on the supply. Crop prospects in Oregon are very good. The season has been favora ble thro-ughoflt and much new acre age will bear well. The 1920 crop is now figured at about 65,000, bales as against 40,000 bales last year. The Washington crop is estimated at 40,000 bales as compared with snnno Kales in 1919. California will have close to 75,000 bales, the same as last year, and New York pernaps the usual 5000 bales. With a total American crop around 185,000 bales and relatively little use for hops In this country, Eng land must be looked to for an outlet for the crop. Whether the big sur plus can be absorbed by that country remains to U seen. Hop traders do no think it possible, at least on a high plane of prices. According to the latest advices from England, the crop prospects there are brighter. Them wai a very severe vermin attack early In the summer but this has been large ly overcome. Additions hae been made to the small war acreage and it is now estimated that the crop will be somewhere beween 225,000 and 250,000 cwt Last year the English crop was 194,000 cwt. Oregon growers have fortunately already contracted to sell the neater part of their output for high prices. It is figured that between 35,000 and 40.000 bales of the 1920 crop have thus been disposed of. Exports of hops from the I'nitod States for April, 1920, were ?.;7"sS19 pounds, of which 3,42.2":5 pounds went to England and Scotland, l-rom September to April, both inclusive, total exports were 26,308,953 pounds, of which 22,750,930 pounds were for England and Scotland.

California, May IS, mt Jievrwlet Motor Company, )nklam Calif. IMji Sirs: In reply to your favor of the nth: Several years ago we pur ged through Nr. R. M.

At times we have urried loads up to a ton In weight. Ancient Bricks Well Made, Of the durability of the ancient bricks the remains of ancient walls and courses that go bnck to prehis toric times bear witness. So strong are the we'1-ninde sun-dried bricks that they are found as a foundation many courses deep, beneath the pon derous stone work of ancient temples. The remains of the ancient town, now known as El Kab, still exist, with a wall constructed entirely of such bricks, still a solid mass. These bricks now, as in ancient (lays, are made with mud from the Nile and chaff, not straw, but the admixture was by no means always required, as the Kile mud differed considerably In different places, and in second-rate brickmaking the mixture of "tlbu" or chaff was not used. But In great works, such as the greater wall In Closing the temple group of Karnak which was made under the Impulse of the government at the time, this chaff was always used. Portland The way to sell your product to the other fellow is to buy what he has to sell. That is why the Albers Brothers Milling Com pany of this city a few days npo re ceived a large shipment of wheat and corn from Manchuria. They could have bought the grain here, but wanted to sell some flour in Manchuria. This was the first ship ment of wheat ever brought to Tol land from the other side of the Pacific. Card of Thanks.

There has been no de mand at all for 90 days, and unless buyers soon show some interest in hops prices are likely to be low. There is no way of telling what val ues are at the present time. The last business was in April, when Oregon contracts were worth 75 cents and California contracts were worth 75 and 80 cents. Some hop men believe the market could not be quoted over 40 and 50 cents, says the Oregonian. There will be a large crop in the United States, probably 35,000 bales more than last year, and certainly a smaller domestic demand. The su preme court decision settled the de mand question. The hop require ments of the near-beer manufac turers have become steadily smaller and are now hardly considered in consumption statistics.

The Bl g Sate lsed THE CONCLUSION OF THE BIG SALE AT THE WOOLEN MILL STORE ON SATURDAY WAS THE FINAL OF THE LARGEST AND MOST UNIQUE SALE EVER ATTEMPTED IN OREGON OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND. IT BROUGHT PURCHASERS FROM EVEN AS FAR OFF AS BENTON AND TILLAMOOK COUNTIES ON THE WEST SIDE AND FROM LINN AND CLACKAMAS ON THE EAST SIDE. IT WAS UNIQUE FOR THIS REASON: THE GOODS WERE OWNED BY THE PROPRIETOR. THERE WAS NO MONEY PRESURE FROM ANY BANK OR MANUFACTURE. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE CHARAC TER OF MERCHANDISE SOLD DURING THE SALE AT ANY LESS PRICE THAN IT HAD BEEN BOUGHT. IT WAS SIMPLY THAT THE HUNDREDS OF PATRONS OF THE STORE SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO REPLENISH THEIR WARD ROBE AT REDUCED PRICES THE SAME AS THE PATRONS OF ANY OF THE LARGEST STORES IN THE U. S. NOT EXCEPTING MR. WANNAMAKER'S OF NEW YORK. IT RENEWED THE FRIENDSHIPS OF MAriY OLD TIME FRIENDS AND BROUGHT MANY NEW ONES. THE MANAGEMENT IS MORE THAN. GRATEFUL FOR THE HEARTY CO OPERATION OF THE PUBLIC WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FAILURE. THERE WILL BE NO RELAXATION IN THEIR EFFORTS TO SERVE THE PUBLIC. PLANS WILL BEGIN AT ONCE TO MAKE PREPARA TION FOR THE FAST COMING FALL AND WINTER BUSINESS CAMPAIGN. LARGE QUANTITIES OF THE SAME RELIABLE GOODS THAT HAVE AL WAYS MADE THIS STORE FAMOUS HAS BEEN OKDERED AND WILL BEGIN TO ARRIVE IN A FEW DAYS, AND THE PATRON OF THE STORE MAY REST ASSURED THAT THEIR INTERESTS WfU - TAKEN CARE OF Woofer mills St?
