meeting of the School Board
of District No. 48, held at the high
school last Friday night a call was is
sued for a budget meeting to be held
November 25. The budget provides
f- for (10,490 to be raised by special
tax and provides for estimated ex
penditures of $14,085 for the coming
year. Added expenditures enumera
ted are: Paying for the new furnace
dust installed in the grade school
, building; providing for an addtional
tAAflhnr in tha llio-h annanl. tniaaaaa
cdst of maintenance in the public
schools; and paving off of $1000 note
indebtedness which was authorized at
the annual meeting but which must
'have the approval of the budget
meeting.
Another item of growing import-
ance is the increase of teachers'
wages. This is not enumerated in the
budget but nevertheless has its bear
ing on the amount of money needed
to be raisod. According to a survey
recently made by the National Edu
cational Association, there are more
than 100,000 postions in the schools
of America that are either vacant or
' filled by teachers lacking the neces
sary qualifications. Positions are thus
open at increased salaries but the at
tendance at institutions preparing
teachers have fallen off more than 20
. per cent. It is more than probably
mat me salaries' paid to teachers in
our schools will be materially in
tJ creefeed for -another year if the pres
ent teachers are to be retained or if
other competent teachers are to be
secured in their places. Ilence, the
need for addtional funds. Every tax
payer should be present at the meet
ing and vote his or her opinion at the
time the levy is made. The call for
meeting follows:

ganization and the airle and nut
growers are also becoming interested.
The growers of the county believe
that thnoutrh -a State organization
they can 'market their produce to a
mucn setter advantage and in so do
ing give better publicity to Oregon
grown produce and they also believe
that much of the speculation in the
fruit markets will be eliminated. '
A number of meetings have al
ready been held in the county bv
the fruit men and another will be
held at -Forest Grove,. October 21st,
and it is planned that many other
meetings will be held in different
part of the county are particularly

season are over supplied, while
Eastern markets are under supplied,
and very gratifying returns are be
ing received by those shipping to the

The belief has been expressed that
this organization will do more for the
industry than any thing that has
happened in a number of years. It
being particularly valuable in estab
lishing a graded product of highest
quality, and through their system of
marketing: the grower will be raid
for his aditional labor and expense in
producing a quality article.
backing plants will bo erected
where acreage is large enough to
warrant and where they can be made
to serve the largest number, here the
fruit will be graded by disinterested
parties and packed -according to
grade.

has just moved into a brand new up

heating and ventilating plant. The

made. Mrs. Minnie Conaiit, one of
our experienced teachers,- has the
