BURNING MONEY Life is gay and blithe and sunny since the peace dove hit the breeze; every one is burning money just as though it grew on trees. ' I insist on thrift and saving, but there's none to heed my words; johnnies say that I am raving, and throw money to the birds. Men are drawing princely wages, and their breasts are filled with mirth, and they jeer foreboding sages who predict a day of dearth; but that day will come as surely as tomorrow's sun will rise; things will then be going poorly with the giddy spending thrift guys. Things won't boom along forever as they're boom ing now, my friends; and the man who s truly clever saves as ably as he spends. It is patent to the knowing, in expansive times , like these, that the kopecks won't be growing always on the shrubs and trees. "There will come a day of trouble, when this boom is left behind, and the kopeck and the ruble will be mighty hard to find; happy then the lads whose wages have been safely placed in brine, who obeyed the sears and sages, when the saving graft was fine. And how sick will be the mortals who like spendthrifts now behave, who reply with jeers and chortles when we call on them to save!

Mr. Reeves lives on a ranch and when he was offered a Roadster for the Sedan, he made the exchange, thinking the Roadster would give him better service in his business than the handsome car that he had been so fortunate as to draw. He had just recently sold his Ford and the new car was very acceptaDie. Mrs. Myra Ballard, of this city, and Mrs. Cynthia Smith, of Forest Grove, left last week, for an extended visit at Augusta and Topeka, Kansas, their old homes, where they have not visited since leaving there since they were girls. Part of their brothers and sisters they have not seen for twenty-five years, and two of them for forty years. This will be a pleas ant homecoming to them and they will attend the family reunion at Au gusta. A very hold robbery occurred last Wednesday night at the home of 0. E. McCarthy. Thieves unscrewed the lock on the door of his garage and helped themselves to his automo bile, a six cylinder Oakland, in or- .der to get it to the street it was nec essary to pass light under the win dow of his sleeping room.yet he heard nothing of it When he arose next morning and discovered his loss, he at once put the Sheriff next and he was ' soon scouring the country, but as yet the machine nor thieves have been discovered.

It would seem that the least aat can be done to show appreci ation not only of the work of the young people but of the efforts of the superintendent is for everyone to at tend and prove by a rousing attend ance that the people know a good thing and a good man when they appear. Hillsboro Independent. High cost of living? You bet: Life is just one expensive eat after another. First Gass b Everything There are only 241prisoners in the penitentiary at Salem, the smallest number that has been confined in that institution in forty years. The reasons for the remarkable decrease in population, according to Warden Steiner, are a liberal parole policy, an act of the 1919 legislature sub tracting 10 days a month from the sentence period for good behavior, and. the elimination of the liquor traffic through the advent of prohibition.

At the national Encampment of Spanish War Veterans, held at San' rrancisco last week, Dr. L. W. Hyde ws elected Burgeon lieneral. This is a great honor, but one we feel the Northwest rightfully deserves, as the Second Oregon did splendid work dur ing the Spanish-American War. The mother and two cub bears were killed in one day by Ed Northup, F. A. Northup and Roy Nelson, one day the past week. The mother bear drove the little ones up a tree, then followed them, but she only went a few feet when she was shot uy one of the men. and they so n killed the cubs. Carl A. Nelson, while workinsr at the Wenstrom Mill last week, suf fered the loss of two fingers, or-so nearly lost them that it was neces sary for him to come to town and let the surgeon finish the job. The ac cident occurred while adjusting a saw. He is able to be about, but it will be some time before he will be able to use the hand. - E. W. Reeves, of this city, was the fortunate man who drew the Elks car, for the oenefit of the Salvation THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE The Independent has previously had occasion to comment on the fact that Washington county was exceedingly fortunate when N, A. Frost was picked as superintendent of schools. He has a habit of quietly sawing wood and carrying out business in addition to his official duties which has been wished upon him without making any fuss about it. .He dis played this quality during the war work of the past two years, and about his only reward was that when it was found he did one thing well he was immediately given another. The lat est thing he has devoted his attention to is the school fair which will be held next week and which he is That expresses our idea when it comes to a drug store. Whether it is a prescription you want filled, a pre pared medicine, a simple home reme dy, a toilet preparation, soap or sta tionery, when you buv it at a drug store you have a right to expect .a first-class article. With this thought in view we have equipped our store with a complete stock of everything which a first class drug store should carry and you will find every article first class, Take our stock foods, for instance, or our poultry compounds. We have told you about them and if you have tried them you have found them to be the best in every respect When you have needed a cough remedy you have found that we have ' the best When you needed school supplies, you have found the best tablets and pencils at Dean's. r- When sickness comes your doctor will tell you that you can get no bet ter prescription service anywhere than Dean gives.. So why go further. Drop in for an ice cream soda. Youll find that first class, too. Dean's Dreg Stcre Beaverton, Oregon. . Freeman pays core for your baiter and Eggs; Freeman pays CASH.
