ANOTHER SIN GLE TERM ADVOCATE Ex President William Howard Taft has delivered a speech since the election, in which he advocated a single seven year term for the President of the United States Mr. Taft declares that the last year of a President’s four-year term is bur dened with thoughts of a second term, and therefore in order to re lieve his mind and allay all doubts among the people he believes that it would be wise to make the term of the President seven years and have him ineligible to re-electiou.

"School for Parents'’ Needed. The duties of the rural teacher are more varied and complicated than those of the city teacher, and he some times has to include the parents In directing his efforts for the beet re sults. In communities where the old er population le opposed to any de parture of the younger generation from established customs In either social or economic life, their co-oper ation can often be secured by calling community meetings and instructing the parents on matters of community Interest. It Is related that a success ful young teacher in a remote local ity had weekly meetings attended by parents of his pupils, which finally evolved Into a "school for parents" In which they were taught how to live a community life In Us broadest and biggest sense.

Oregon "d ry” does not mean wholly dry. Though the new pro hibition law does away with the liquor traffic it does not interfere with the personal liberties ol Oregon citizens. The word "Distribution” was intentionally left out of the amendment, it being the purpose of the dry law to prohibit only the manufacture and sale of intoxicants within the state. Citizens may have liquor shipped directly into their homes for domestic uses. The only effect the Webb Kenyon act will have on the shipments will be to compel the consignee to sign a sworn statement that the liquor ia for bis own use and not for sale. Coot-Curry Exhibit The products which will be ex hibited by Coos and Curry counties at the Panama Pacific Exposition consist chiefly of the following: wood products, dairy products, sea foods, fish and game, fruit and veg etables, coal, minerals, agates,wool, goods of all kinds manufactured in these two counties, and photographs showing harbors, scenery and re sources. These products are being assem bled as last as possible at Marsh field and it is desired that the list be as complete as possible by Jan uary 1, 1915; however, additions and replacements may be made dur ing the period of the Exposition which is from February 20th to December 4th, 1915. The response which has been given thus far by the people is very satisfactory to those who have charge of the exhibit, bat addition al products are needed, and anyone who has any article of merit for exhibit purposes is requested to send the same in to headquarters as soon as possible. Address same to Coos- Currv Exhibit, J. A . Ward, Direc tor, Marshfield, Oregon; deliver to carrier and send notice by mail to J. A. Ward, Box 318 Marshfield, Oregon. Most articles that have been ob tained thus far have been donated. An effort will be made to sell at the close ol the Exposition,for the bene fit of the producer, snch articles as are salable. The people are earnestly request ed to co-operate with the manage ment in trying to have a creditable exnibit at the opening of the Expo sition, and a still better one next year. Get ready for something special in your line and let the com mittee know what they can depend on from you. Chance for Boys and Girls Every boy and girl in Oregon will have a chaoce next year to take part in a hog raising contest to be back ed by the Portland Union Stock Yards, the State Bankers’ Associa tion and other organizations inter ested in the agricultural develop ment of the Northwest.
