No one doubts that, whether it was spent in the trenches of Europe, in the cantonments of America, at one of the many celebrations held throughout America, or quietly at home. For the unconquerable spirit of America is abroad in the land and permeates all things, mak ing the Nation's Natal Day one of grandeur, of joy and of pride that can be intensified by the trials of the hour but can never be dimmed by adversitv nor con quered by armed bands. Those who attended the cele bration at Hillsboro report an excellent time, good speeches, an unusual amount of true patriot ism and altogether a most ex cellent observance of Uncle Sam's birthdav. but all are agreed that a little water, judic iously sprinkled over the dusty ground would have lessened the discomforts of the day without detracting from the joy in any manner. A CAUSE FOR SHAME. A well-known citizen of this district remarked the other dav that School District No. 8 ohp-M to be heartily ashamed of its failure to go over the top in the War Savings Stamp drive. And there is perhaps not one man in the district who fully under stands the situation who is not heartily ashamed of that failure. Beaverton simply went to sleep lapsed into an old habit let old general lethargy take command and results were all that could bp expected from wh a course. The pride with which we put over the Third Libertv Loan with five times our auota caught us napping when this W. S. S. drive came along and we did not awaken to the fact that it was ten times the size of the Liberty Loan until it was too late to arouse the district to the enormous and important task be fore us. That School District No. 48 will buy its auota of War Savings Stamps before the end of the year, no one here has ser iouslv questioned. - But the fact remains that we failed to pledge our quota on the day that we were asked to pledge it; we fell woefully short of it. And the fellows who have been maligning this locality as a pro-German hot-bed are now shouting their I-told-you-so story. It is too bad that it happened. Especially when the sum could have been so easily pledged if someone had just known and been ready to tell how easilv the quota could be reached under the simple selling and redeeming plan which Uncle Sam prnvi'W for those unforseen empr"T,' which arise in even7 W""-1- -' 1 Another feature of this ques tion, worth considering, and it has a mitigating effect, is that Beaverton far exceeded its quo ta in the Third Liberty Loan and had not thoroughly readusted its financial condition to the strain produced by that effort. But the milk is spilled and it is no use to cry. The only thing left to do is to get ready in time for the next Liberty Loan and do our part then without fail. It is coming in October and today is not a bit too soon for every individual to be making plans to do his part. LET'S HAVE A SEWER. Beaverton needs sewer sys tem.. It must come sooner or later and why not be getting ready for it now. There is a period of prosperity ahead when the money can be raised as eas ilv as at any time in the history of the town. And what is any sum of money that may be re quired in taxes when compared with health and securitv of life. I hear, in response to this sug gestion, three objections raised. One is the scarcity of labor. It is true that labor is scarce just now, but I want to remind you, Mr. Put-it-off. that our boys are not going to be forever in find ing the road to Berlin and when they do come home aain there are a lot of high-prif ed slackers here at home who will be Had to do anvthin? thev can find to do at almost anv price they can get, whereas, today they are far awav above any useful labor at nominal wages. The actual operation of build ing the sewer need not be begun until the labor market is normal again. The second objection is that the pnvprnment needs te mon ey and that we cannot raise mon ev for sewers and buv bonds as well. The quota of this district is for the community and not for the individual. If the t"- raises money for a seer whi it will not build until the war is over and then buvs bonds with te monev so raised, the same aid is extended to the govern ment that would be extended if the individual bought the bons. And when the war is over, the bonds will build sewers and pav wages to men who will need the work then, thus serving a dou ble purpose. The third reason is a twin sister to the second. The ob jector will observe that we ought not to pay as we go, for poster ity should pay for some of the blessings we hand down to them. Did you ever know of a posterity that was grateful for a mort gage? If you are saving, you are saving for posterity. Sav ing them from debt is as much for their welfare as actual tax able property. The pay as you go plan is best for the individual and it is best for the town. Let's get ready for the sewer before we are forced to build it. nr Paul M. E.

ANOTHER MOLE PELT POOL JULY 15 TO 20 Good Prices Realized for First Pool has Stimulated Trap ping and Many Pelts are on Hand. Owing to the large number of pelts that the boy and girl trap pers have accumulated during the past few weeks another pool of mole pelts will be made during the week of July 15 to 20. Mole pelts may be mailed or brought to the office of the countv agent, during that time, and the lot will then be sold to the firm offering the best prices. In the last pool 1760 pelts were disposed of at a fraction of a cent less than 30 cents each and it is expected that they may be disposed of to a better ad vantage at this time as the pelts are in better condition and thev are being handled better. Care must be taken by the shipper to see thatf the pelts are strung together on a string and tarred with name and address. From the last sale of pelts, checks are on hand for the fol lowing, S. Holbank, Chas. Farmer, Grant Bovd, Joe Gerber and O. Coe. These will be sent out if narties will advise as to their address. COUNTY AGENT. Dr. C. E.
