Subscription Rates One Year $1.50 Six Months .75 Polk couny voters are too intelligent to let the propos ed constitutional amendment making four per cent the legal rate of interest appeal to them. They sense that they cannot get something at Jialf price by simply wish ing for it. Like other commodities, interest rates vary according to the demand. It is not to be presumed that people having money to loan are going to sell its use for four per cent or even five per cent when they can get twice that amount for it in other adjoining states. It would work dire hardship on a person conducting a busi ness of which a portion .of his capital is borrowed, on the farmer with a mortgage on his holdings, and on every one who has the welfare of the state at heart, as it would cause a slackening in all industries. Presbyterian Church Next Sunday being the first Sun day in the month, regular sen-ices will be held at Calvary Presbyter ian church, at 11 o'clock by the pas tor, Dr. II. C. Dunsmore. A cordial invitation is extended to all to at tend this service. Prices of commodities are on the toboggan, and a gradual, general decline is indicated. Inflated during the war period, a. readjustment is inevitable. It is not probable, however, that many things will sell at pre-war prices for a long time to come. This, of course, 'will de pend upon the supply and demand to quite a large ex tent There are factors entering info increased costs which cannot be eliminated for a long time. The ex pense incident to the war will have to be met in heavy tax burdens for many years; freight rates have been ma terially increased, and any general reduction in wages is going to be bitterly fought all along the line. Christian Church Preaching services will be held in the Christian church at 11, a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Sunday. Bible school at 10 a. m. All are welcome. At the Baptist Church School has begun and we are all settling down for the winter. Think over the last year and then make the resolve that you will at tend church more this year than the last. The Baptist church has ser vices every Sunday morning and evening. The Sunday (school" meets at 10 a, m. Classes for all. , At 11 a. m. the Rev. Proppe preaches one of his helpful sermons. At 6:30 the Young Peoples' Society meets. This is a bunch of young people who are doing things they are full of life and zeal and pep. These young people are planning for a good time next week. Come out and hear about it At the hour of 7:30 Rev. Proppe preaches again. Come , thou with us and we will do thee good. Occupying a prominent place in agriculture and hor ticulture in the "Willamette valley, Polk county will hold its annual exhibit at Dallas next week. While the pro ducts of the soil will be featured in all their glory, there will be other attractions. The benefits from such af fairs are many, notable among these being the spreading1 of the community spirit. .AH Polk county folks ought to touch elbows at least once a year and a pretty, fine place to do this is at the county fair. Traffic regulations are being enforced in Monmouth. It was necessary, of course, to cause a few arrests. Some drivers need a restraining hand, and Marshal Stewart ap pears to have the determination to apply the ne.cessry brake. And just save a few of the finest ears of corn for the show at Independence this fall. Cornfields are increas ing in number each year until Polk county has really be come the corn belt of the Willamette. Invitation to Baptist Sunday School School days are here again. Reading and writing and arithmetic are our daily grind. Some of us are glad and some of us are not glad that school has taken up again, but nevertheless we have to go. It's the only way to get an educa tion It is certain the education will not come around and hunt us up, but it will knock at our front doors and if we let it go by unheeded we are the losers. Opportunity knocks but once and loudly Here is one knocking the Baptist church has a Sunday school which meets every Sunday at 10 a. m.. There is a class for every boy and girl in Inde pendence. A" special feature is that there is a class for high school girls and boys. These clashes are the kind you will enjoy. Good meetings and a good live bunch. If you do not- go to Sunday school anywhere else come and join us and we will do you good. What do you say, fellows ? - Let's go to the Baptist Sunday school. The Enterprise is still $1.50 per year. fcl M0TDR. EA It is owned by many who can afford to pay anything they wish for the things they use.
