A get-rich-quick sceme for Cloverdale.
Catch and fine autoists who violate the
speed limit.
Cleveland, Ohio, has asked its citizens
to use water sparingly. Come to Tilla
mook county, we have lota to spare.
The County Fair needs you as an ex
hibitor and as a patron. Its your duty
to give it all the assistance vou can.
Each and eyery citizen is a fractional
part of the county and the fair is a
means of advancing the interests of
every fractional part. You owe it to your
self and to your neighbor to make the
fair this year better than ever. Give it
your hearty support.
WHERE KANSAS ALSO LEADS.
Kansas penitentiary has just given
diplomas to 31 graduates who had taken
a college course in agriculture. Com
mencement exercises were held in the
prison. Thla is probably the first event
of the kind in the history of the world.
The work done by the prisoners was
the same as that which the Kansas ag
ricultural college offers to its home cor
respondence students.
One hundred
prisoners availed themselves of the
chance to study. The 31 graduates were
students in steam and electrical en
gineering, carpentry, blacksmitbing,
agriculture and motor engineering.
Some of the graduates will not be re
leased from prison for several years, but
the state has already found employment
for those whose terms have nearly ex
pired.
The existence ef this unique body of
college graduates indicates a pronounced
improvement in modern reform work
with criminals.
Not even the most enthusiastic re
former can prove that education pro
duces good character. But education
does create new abitions in any man. j
It proves the futility of crime. It makes
a man self-supporting and thus removes \
the temptation to many forms of law
breaking.
Governments now spend more money
on their prisons than on their schools.
The success of the Kansas experiment
if an instructive exhibition of the eager
ness with which even criminals will
eeize an opportunity to fit themselves
for dignified and responsible places in
tlie community. Perhaps some day so
ciety will know enough to pay (or pre
venting crime rather than for punish
ing criminals.

It co*ts as much to paint with inferior
paint as it does with quality stuff and
you save but little on the original cost
