Our Saturday evening band concerts
should not be permitted to lapse. The
series already given have been both pleas
ant and profitable, but unless some sys
tematic effort is put forth for their con
tinuance they will terminate with the
next concert. Mr. Dave Calbreath has
had charge of the matter so far and he
thinks it only fair that somebody else
should take their turn. Who will volun
teer? The concerts should be kept up
until after hoppicking.
President Roosevelt is spending the
holidays in meeting the people of New
England. Incidentally he is giving them
in his addresses some good, sound, sensi
ble advice. At Willimantic, Conn., he
spoke as follows: "This nation has great
problems to face, problems in its external
policy, problems even more important in
the administration of its internal affairs.
We can solve them only if with serious
purpose we set ourselves to the task alike
in the national and state governments
and in the local municipality and county
organizations. We have great problems
ahead of us as a nation. They will task
our intelligence, but they will task still
more what ranks ahead of intelligence
character."

Now that so much disappointment is ex
pressed by our farinors at the wheat yield
it would seem wise for them to look into
the merits of dairying. In an interview
the other day Dairy and Food Cornmis
" sioner Bailey" said that for the past year
scarcely a pound of butter has been
shipped into Oregon, that the creameries
of Oregon were not only supplying the
local markets, but were shipping butter to
