There has been so much said that
is truth, half truth and of no truth,
lately that one hardly knows where
he is or whv he is at it. There is no
use trying to "kid" ourselves into
paying more taxes by way of slopp
ing off money in wages or improve
ments. when it means future pay
ment snd with interest. The budget
for this year calls for contract bills,
snd is practically one year in arrears,
for the reason this district has never
provided for saving interest by hav
ing the money on hand to pay as it
coes. but always pays interest until
the lax money comes in during the
month of May following the passing
of the Budget. But the meeting

Some figures have been prepared
for the meeting by Mrs. Edna Geer,

mid is of great importance. It
shows the exact status of the schools
nf the county as compared with
Scio’s schools, and if her figures
are wrong, it is because they have
I <*en furnished her office in error.
The effect of isolation on the
Firka of the Santiam is as clearly
».own in the matter of teacher’s
s-daries as anything. The
two

existence show this point quite
c early. The average salaries per

Scio has been without a firstcla««

With the approaching year, which
promises much in the way of busi
ness. this venture ought to prove
remunerative. The plan, as we un
derstand it. is to cater to the wants
of all. and they will have for sale as

and pies, and will take care of other
wants as they are made known tn

Christm.u irit means Christian spirit. In testing its
effect, one us only to reflect upon the positions of

China, the oldest entity among peoples, ha» an admi
rable on. >n upon which the citizen» strive to liquidate
all their debts. It is a national pay-up day, and inspirit
s‘ in ..at resembles our Christmas. In Japan they
have an annual event somewhat like our New Year’s
celebration, during which the people go about express
ing o< I will and promoting good cheer. But Christ
mas has a more elevating effect than either, in that it
not only typifies peace and good will, but carries the
e erne of unselfishness and pure love, the moat com-
mon expres ión being the bestowal of gifts. When the
Christmas induenct gains to the point that its spirit
shall permeate the affairs of every day in the year, the
millennium will have arrived.

The proprietors are doing their
best to keep Scio on the map, and
we should give them all the encour-
Hgeincnt possible. The restaurant
will be open and ready for business

Community Christmas
The people of Shelburn are to
hold a community Christmas Sat
urday evening at the school house,
and everybody who can Is Invited to
be present. A feature of the even
ing will be that all can bring pres
ent» for anyone they wish as well as
fur the
Kiddies.’’ A program of
interest to everyone is being ar
ranged and will include most of the
school children and some who are
not in school. The Humming Hirds
are in charge of the most of the
festivities and are going to raffle off
a quilt, which can be seen at the store
of Mr. Ransom. Theeveningiprom-
ises to bring out many people and a
happy event will then become his
tory.
We have this day, and if we mar not its ideal its leaven
will produce other days of the kind. In the making
of a nev sp. pcr we have an opportunity to view the
many forces operating upon the character of humanity.
We ace the good and bad, the sincere and insincere,
the selfish and unselfish. We believe the leaven of
good is more active than that of the opposed forces. If
we have been able to assist the right, much has been
d !< t< your co-operation and we earnestly solicit a con
tinuation of the same. Our Christmas greeting to you
is one of optimism, good cheer and hearty good wishes.
