Ordinarily, American people are quick to adjust them
selves to changed conditions, yet they have been in a
watchful waiting mood for a considerable time while the
process of a readjustment of prices has been underway.
In a partial sense it has been a boycott, the public refusing
to do business as usual.
While there have been material reductions in the prices
of many things it is not in the range of probability that
prices can -go -back to a pre-war basis for along time
to come. The reductions which have been made are wel
comed, of course by the masses, and eventually they will
have a tendency to stabelize business and industry
generally.
The downward plunge has been made, but if the
Enterprise is any judge of conditions the first splash will
be found to be the biggest jane and the only one for some school cvory Sunday morning at io

Simply because Uncle Henry made a 'noise which is
being felt from coast to coast is no reason to expect that
he is going to continue the music, and that eventually his
product will be put up as premiums to even such worthy
undertakings as our corn show.
"Business as usual" was a slogan which was very effect
ive during the war period and it appears to be sound
logic at the present time. If the public will continue to
follow delay from its ordinary procedure, it will naturally
result iii still further price concessions, but in the' end it
may be found that the goose which has been laying the
golden egg has been slaughtered.
M. E. Church Services
Sunday school at 10 a. m. Preach
ing services at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p.
m. ,Mid week service Wednesday at
7:30 p. m. Everybody cordially in
vited to these services.
The services last Sunday evening
at the M. E. church were well at
tended. Those who were there on
joyed a musical treat. The choir
rendered an anthem, "Guide' Thou
Me," with splendid effect. Mr. Un
derbill's solo was delightful, as was
the duet of Mrs. C. W.. Irvine and
Mrs. Lehman.
Do not forget the preaching ser
vices next Sunday morning and even
ing at the M. E. church.
We are pleased to see the interest
in the larce attendance at Sunday
tended to all who do not attend else
where. "Come thou with us."
BENSON RESIGNS AS COMMISSIONER
Simon Benson, the dominant figure of the state highway
commission, has resigned and Eric V. Hauser, proprietor
of the Multnomah hotel in Portland, has been named to
succeed him by Governor Olcott. Mr. Benson has been
ctfairman of the board since its creation in 1917, and it
is stated, that his reason for stepping down and out at
this time is that there was discord with the other members
of the commission R. A. Booth and Edward Kiddle.
' For a long time rumors have been current that harmony
did not prevail on the board, hence the resignation did
not come as a surprise.
In Independence there is no great evidence of regret
over the Benson resignation. In fact, there is satisfact
ion over it. Whether entitled to it or not, Mr. Benson
is locally deemed responsible for the trouble over the
routing of the Pacific highway through Polk county.
Mr. Benson is a man of strong personality, and after
determining upon a course, seemed to try to put it over
irrespective of legal complications. He tried to rule with
a strong hand and naturally met with numerous
obstructions.
Turkey raisers of the Roseburg country are endeavoring
to make four-bits per pound the ruling price for the birds
deemed so essential for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
feasts. A pool has been formed and the price edict issued.
If they gain their demands the consumers will have to pay
from 75 to 80 cents per pound for their turkeys. Roseburg
has become an important turkey supply point on the
Pacific coast and the "combine" may be successful.
"Oregon grown walnuts are selling for eight cents per
pound more than wTalnuts from any other district," is the
declaration of Ferdinand Grorier. . He attributes this to
the ideal growing conditions. Oregon prunes are like
wise topnotchers, so are the loganberries and the hops and
many other products. When you come to consider it, it
is not so very surprising that this Oregon country is
attracting so much attention.
Some big industrial concerns in Salem are revising
their wage scale downward, and it is probable that there
will be a general readjustment before the winter is over.
Like commodities, wages are to a large extent, governed
by supply and dmand. With a slackening of industry idle
men are gaining in number, particularly in the large
centers.

HO
THE EYES
HAVE IT
Business men, professional men
and teachers use every system and
method that will bring about 100 per
cent efficiency in their work.
Yet, how often they forget the
most essential machine of all, the one
machine that makes efficiency possi
ble in all their work.
There is no office, nor shop, nor
store, but has EYES many of them
from boss to the boy who runs
errands, below par, and efficiency
naturally lowered thereby.
The eyes may be strengthened and
brought to 100 per cent efficiency
with the aid of well fitted glasses.
An examination will reveal the
condition of your eyes. If they are
weak we can raise them to efficient
service.
