All teachers in Oregon will hereafter
be required, when signing their con
tracts to subscribe to the oath of alle-
giance to the government of the United
States as a part of their contract.
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, J. A. Churchill has prepared a
new form of contract and has incorpo
rated as one of the provisions an oath
similar in form to that required of all
government officials. In speaking of
this contract, Superintendent Churchill
said: "The teachers of Oregon as a
body are doing an immense amount of
patriotic work. They have assisted
the government materially in the
Hoover pledge card campaign, in the
thrift stamp sales, in the Liberty loan
campaigns, in the clerical work of
classifying the registrants, and in
general by arousing every home repre
sented in the public schools of this
state to deeds of self-sacrifice and pat
riotism. Unfortunately throughout the
state, there have been two or three
unpatriotic teachers, and before they
could be removed their influence has
to a certain extent discredited the
work of their associates. Through
this loyalty oath it is hoped that the
employment of disloyal teachers may
be effectually checked."
At a recent meeting of the Rose
burg city council it was voted to invest

institutions under the board were in
structed to prepare such schedules of
wage increases as they deemed neces
sary and present them for further con
sideration of the board at a special
meeting called for this week. The
increases which will bring the pro
posed by these superintendents will
bring the total up to several thousands
of dollars more annually.
The Astoria school district will hold
a special election in the near future to
vote on the question of issuing $115,
000 in school district bonds to raise
funds with which to purchase a site
for a building.
M. N. Crow, of Roseburg, was sen
tenced to serve from 10 to 20 years in

ter, who he took to Eugene about 10
days ago and spent the night at a lodg
ing house.
Governor Withycombe has received

Miss Mabel Withycombe, at Washing
ton, D. C, that his son, Earl Withy
combe. ill in a hospital there, is much
improved and that chances for his re
covery are bright.

pleted Friday by State Tax Commis
sioner Galloway.

one bag out of every 15 sought.

Her allotment was 916,700, and this
was increased to 212,930, while appli

tions totaled 259,650.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which Is mussy and trouble

drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul

bottle of this famous old recipe, Im
proved by the addition of other In
gredients, for about 60 cents.
Don't stay gray I Try It I No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair become:
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

RIGHT OUT NOW
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
tew drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callous
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callous loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle ot ireezone costs
very little at any drug store, but wdll
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callous. This should be tried
as It is Inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

from his wholesale drug house. It Is
fine stuff and acts like a charm ever;
