INDEPENDENCEENTERPRISE Published Every Friday by Z. C. KIMBALL Subscription Rates ' One Year $160 Six Months .75 STATE GRANGE IS DEMANDING CHANGE HIGHWAY SYSTEM IN The Oregon State Grange, in annual session at Eugene, June cJ, adopted two resolutions voicing us cussausiacuuu at the way m which state highway matters are being hand led under the present political system. One resolution asks that the state highway commission be abolished and that a highway commissioner be electetd who will be held responsible to the people. The resolution follows: Be it resolved that the Oregon State Grange, now assembled, request our executive committee to ' initiate a bill to be voted upon at our next general election abolishing our pr-sent highway commission and create the office of a highway commissioner to be elected by the peoople said officer to be paid a salary and held responsible for efficient j service. ; The other resolution expresses dissatisfaction at the lavish expenditure of money by the state highway com mission ; dissatisfaction at the dictatorial attitude of the highway commissioners, and urges that the people through their county courts may have some say in regard to the location of highways, on the principle that taxation with out representation is repulsive in this land of the stars and the stripes. Here s the resolution as adopted by the state grange: j Whereas, Our state highway commission is now expending a vast 'sum of state road funds each year and is becoming very dictatorial to our citizens in each county of our state, thru which they are con structing state roads, and Whereas, They are duplicating many miles of roads, with seemingly no object in doing so except to exercise their authority and to add a needless expensfe to our state road funds, and Whereas, Since its inauguration into our state there has growing dissatisfaction in the methods used in offering state our various counties thru indirectly compelling the county to their proposition or nothing, and i Whereas, We believe that the principle of taxation without . sentation is just as repulsive to the true Americans today as in 1776. Therefore be it resolved that the Oregon State Grange, through their legislative committee, urge our next state legislature to So amend our road laws as to give the citizens! of each county thru their county courts the privilege of selecting the road or roads in their respective county on which any county road funds are to be expended in conjunction with anytstate highway funds. UNCERTAINTY RULES IN ARMY. SAYS COL. FISRE been a aid to accept repre- lt was PROSPERITY IS NEAR, SAYS HEAD STATE UNIVERSITY Dallas Members of the regular United States army are performing their daily tasks with uncanny un certainty as to the future, because of the minimum of 150,000 men pro vided in the army appropriations law. This was the message of Colonel Harold Fiske, who, during the world war, (served with the rank of briga dier-general on the staff of General John J. Pershing, having charge of the training of American troops over seas. Colonel Fiske is visiting his j mother, Mrs. C. S. Fiske; hii brother, V. P. Fiske, postmaster of Dallas, and sister, Mrs. Grace Barrett. "We are facing a considerable re duction in the size of the regular forces," said Colonel Fiske.! "The present size of the army la approxi mately 240,000, while the minimum set by the law is 150,000.

In addition to the national char acter of the work, there is the inter national aspect. In the disrupted nations of Europe, wherever the min istrations of the American Red Cross have been felt, there follows instruc tion in home hygiene. In the insular possessions of the United States, i n Alaska and elsewhere reports come to national headquarters of the com pletion of courses and the institution of new classes.

RED CROSS HOME WORK IS SPREADING RAPIDLY Washington American women and girls are displaying an unprecedent ed interest in home care of the sick. How wide-spread is the increase of their enthusiasm is shown by the an nouncement by the American Red Cross that enrollment in its chapter classes in home hygiene and care of the kick is growing at the rate of more than 300 per cent annually. Eighteen hundred Red Cross instruc tors, in urban and rural communities throughout the country, are now en gaged in teaching home hygiene and care of the sick. of the Sick," already has been trans lated into Russian and Korean. Copies of the manuel, in these tong ues form an interesting exhibit in tho museum at national headquarters. In addition portions of the text-book have been translated in phamphlct form into Japanese, Spanfuh, Polish and Slovak and Bohemian dialects. As a direct result of the opportunity ior service to humanity revealed by such classes, many young women are pursuing their Btudies further with the intention of becoming nurses.

The gritty oil circulates through your engine, impairing ha performance, and ultimately leads to rapid depreciation and repairs. Automobile manufacturers recognize this dan ger, and in their Instruction Books, carefully ad vise regular draining and flushing of the crankcase. These important instructions art often disre garded; cleaning the crankcase is a job generally disliked. To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning Service has been established by first-class garages and other dealers, co-operating with the Stand ard 0L Company. These garages and dealers use Calol Flashing OQ, the scientific agent that deans out old oil, dirt, grit and other imparities, and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of fresh oil used.
