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.
