their builders. At the. present time, then, it
is not necessary to wait until you die to build
yourself o monument, flood roads are monu

which there is still n little academic discus
sion about in regard to the .ordinary monument.
The roads in this county are not monu-

nieiils to their numiers, mai is, no one einmis
the monuments. Still we have better roads
than some counties do. We are going to have
better roads and these will come as soon as
the people demand better roads. Next year
Morrow County will spend about $."0,000 on
roads. If this money was spent in conjune
lion with labor donated by the people, it
would be the equivalent to $100,000. In
Missouri not long ago the Governor appoint
ed two days for the people to work the roads,
Cities, towns and villages turned out in great
numbers and over $1,000,000 worth of work
was done on the roads. Other states have
done this and with surprising results. Now,
let the County. Judge or the County Commis
sioners proclaim one or two days next, month
as flood Roads Days and the men in the towns
help their brothers in the country. Let them
straw the roads with some of the straw that
goes to waste every year. I.'t them round
up some of the pikes so that the water will
rim olT and till in some of the approaches to
bridges and rake the rocks off. Let them
work on the roads. Let's build monuments
to ourselves.' Two days next mouth, Judge!

Governor Berkley, of Virginia, thanked God
that there were no free schools and printing
presses in the colony, whereby the news and
culture! of the day could become the common
property of Hie people.
Tho Matter of " honrning and printing are
College Education the patrons and promoters
i of heresies and sects and
libels on good government." Not many
years ago a time existed when a man who was
naturally bright and had a few slock phrases
was considered educated. Evry village had
its David llarum, the wise man of the com
munity. With the spread of the telephones,
telegraphs, rural mail routes, hliorl courses,
chautaiKuas and the "semi weeklies" then
has been a modern Renaissance and today we
find the average man a well informed in
vidual.
As the time approaches for the colleges of
the country to open, many young people wi
have to decide whether thev desire to make
the effort to enroll in one of these institutions
This will be an easy matter for some, but not
it it
lor ouiers. r,very young man or woman can

nine ii cont'xo euueiiuon ii t imy want il luul
enough, they must want if first. The other
day a well known "Oregon Life" insurance
man dropped in this office and related bis
College experience. He (aught school one
year back in his home stale, Kansas, and
saved two or three hundred dollars wilh
which to start to college. 'I hat year hap
pencil to be a hard year and lie gave his
father the money which he had saved with the
exception of thirty live dollars, which' he had
when he km. led in Topeka, Kaiisni, to start
n four year course in Washburn College.
The records show thai he stayed four years
and was graduated, and the records are what
count. Since then he has been "going up"
and today he i the Agency Supervisor of the
Oregon Life Insurance Company and I would
not be surprised to know that his salary runs
into live figures. He wanted a college edu
cation and if you want a thing bad enough,
you can generally find a way to gel it.
I'p until day before yestenhiy the main
idea ill giiillg to college win to lelllll from
books. One day there was a I tail who found
that there were many things not found in
books which tl illegc alTorde.l. IU.U are
merely w ritten ideu of eoininon people, many
of thelll written by people Mill, r,t,.raIy
eczema and some think that because thev read
a thing in a book that it is (he absolute truth
nary friendships because the college conies
between and together with the feeling for
each other is this common feeling for the
college and before any people can really have
an attachment for each other they must have
love and affection for the same thing. This
is why there are many college romances tiud
it can be truthfully said that the absence of
the love of the same thing causes more di
vorce suns than all other causes combined.
Any person who lias ever attended a recog
nized college is marked by his absence of bis
personal importance. Associating with
great men and women, wilh other students
of high intelligence, tends to convervatism of .
rash impulses which distinguishes a college
man from any other. Sham and pretence
don't go, you have to make good. Just bo
cause your parents have accomplished com
mendable things does not necessarily imply
that you will, for genius oiten .skips u genera
tion. Lai in, biology and other subjects found in
colleges are useful in many ways. So are
athletics, literary societies and other student
activities. They all tends to extend to men
tal horizau' and widen and broaden the in-
ellect. Many make the mistake of attend
ing too studiously to their books, thinking
at they can get these other advantages in
some other way. INiuetv-nine Per cent ot
what is found in books is the experience of
ordinary people with human kind. Most of
our knowledge deals with human beiims and
here is the golden opportunity to study, sec
and know-your fellow-men. Study yes. but
get out among your friends and learn lirsl
liand, for if you learn w here to find informa
tion and how to assimilate it, that 4s about
all that any school can do for you in the mat
ter of books. Don't fail to go to cwllege,
young man!
