Publicity given in the prospectus of the Milton-Freewater community claims, in clude: I. It has done more for education in the way of modern school buildings and superior school advantages than any other city or community in east ern Oregon. 2. It has better facilities for prac tice teaching in city and rural school systems. 3. It has the proper environment for a training school for teachers. 4. It has climatic conditions better than any place making a bid for this school. 5. It is free from distractions us ually found in larger cities and rail road centers. 6. Sanitary conditions are not bet ter anywhere. 7. The citizens are of pure Ameri can stock, hospitable and religiou?. 8. The one great interest of all the people is in education. 9. It offers advantages for teach ers to secure a musical education along with their training for teach ing. 10. It offers to donate a property costing originally about $100,000.00. II. It has never received any recog nition from the Federal Government or the State in the way of public buildings. 12. Other cities and communities that have not done as much for the betterment of citizenship by provid ing the proper environment for Vn youth of this generation have already received recognition in the- way c.f public buildings. o THIN THEM OUT One of our exchanges finds that on ly a relatively small per cent of au tomobile drivers are careless. But they are sufficient in number to make driving on the highways hazardous. On a Sunday or holiday many people refrain from driving be cause of the hazard, It is neither fair nor is it necessary that careless diivers should drive others off the highway, to which and on which everyone has an equal right. Automobiles are safe, highways are safe and driving practices must be made safe. An oil company, operating several bundled trucks, has not had a collis ion or accident on the highways or at railroad grade crossings for a num ber of years, although during that time its trucks crossed railroad tracks more than M ,000,000 times. It selects its drivers with proper care, instructs them in safe practices and gives them to understand that failure to stop, look and listen before crossing a railroad track or failure properly to observe traffic rules and safe practices i,n the highways, will result in dismissal from the service. It logically follows that public reg ulation of the same character would accomplish a like result, and with au tomobiles increasing in number, with proportional increase in congestion and hazard of accident, the point has been reached and the time has arriv ed for affirmative legislative action in this regard. . o Bernard Shaw, recently announced winner of the Nobel prize for litera ture, indignantly refuses the $35,000 cash award with furious gusto and other loud protestations. All of which leads one to wonder just what llr. i haw is writing for, anyway, and if he is so all-fired superior to otlwr w riters who have received the award before him, that he can afford not only to turn the long green down, but pick himself up and sit himself down in a specially cushioned liein aul Shaw seat made by himself, es pecially for himself. It may be that he is a nut without a ''kernel." hist let Wood or Boyd ever get a v. hi' me to grab that pot of ,'55,000 ducts, then you will see more oil gushers than ever Bill McKcnzie can hop" to own, am! a better pack outfit than ever Kit Carson toyed with; to say nothing of tree fishing tackle for iv erybody, with plenty of the right kind of bait. o "When it comes about, as is shown by the recent inmiiiy in the city of New Yoik," says Frank 13. Willis, V. S. senator from Ohio, "that it costs ?51 to distribute $19 worth of hrea!. it is perfectly apparent that the cost of distribution is some how too great. The annual farm products of the Uni ted States cost the consumer about $24,000,000,000 yet of this the farm er who raises the crop receives only $8,000,000,000. Two dollars are too much to pay for the distribution of one dollar's worth of products. o State Market Agent says the price of hogs usually drops in November and December because of the fact that the most of the farmers sell during those two months and the market becomes over-supplied. He thinks it might be a good idea for many of the farmers to old over until January; that the probable higher prices would warrant the risk. Oregon's total wheat production runs around from nineteen to twenty million bushels in fair crop year3, and more than one half of this total is grown in three counties, Umatilla, Sherman and Morrow. The other big counties are Gilliam, Wasco, Union, Jefferson and Wallowa. THE KITCHEN K CABINET m ((E), 1026, Western Newspaper Union.) Let me but do my work from day to day.
