OX A bill introduced in both houses of Congress too late for action in the cluttered and jumbled session that expired March 4th possesses a na tional attack upon the national dis grace of illiteracy. About ten per . cent of the population of this coun try above ten years cannot read the language of the country. Some are native-born whites, some native-born negroes and some are immigrants. I Thus those to whom the language: of the country is a sealed book are; rather evenly distributed between North and South. This is according to a statement made in the Saturday , Evening Post, and that paper goes on to say: j With almost one person out of ten in a position so disadvantageous to himself and to the country it would be a national problem anyway. The( geographical distribution empha- I sizes its national character. With millions shut out from the great common medium of express ion, for whom a President's procla mation or 8 village ordinance is so jnueh Greek, fittfj ihg flux pf events and opinions that shades na tional life cannot reach except in directly or secondhand, the melting pot obviously contains a huge chunk I that QOes not blend very readily. That more than half the chunk is a, native product makes it all the worse. j It is a problem that should have! been vigorously attacked long ago.! This bill proposes a Federal appro-' priation to be expended in conjunc tion with the states that conform to the educational program laid down for the special purpose of reaching those unable to read English. It should be put near the top of the calendar of the new Congress and carried through without delay. It should also be one step in a broader policy of public education. Sheer illiteracy in English is not the place to stop. It is only the place to be gin. The children of the United States are entitled to better school ing than, as a whole, they have ever received. Their claim is the very first claim. As an investment, the Victory bonds are the most attractive secur ity that has ever been offered. Short maturity will protect the bonds from market fluctuations that have charac terized some classes of security. In the opinion of financiers, Victory bonds will be regarded as essentially a cash asset. Exemption from tax extends for the entire period of five years. In other issues the exemption has been for two years. 1 t III I II I I1 I M an THE FEDERATED CHURCH.

Kir rs ' IfCS- fall I aw Easter 1m FIRST- This office acknowledges a very pleasant call from E. C. Bazeley of j Portland, yesterday, who has been! visiting during the week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Barlow on Eight Mile. Mr. Bazeley drove up from Portland with Ora Barlow, who was on his way home from Camp Fremont, Calif. Mr. Barlow has re ceived his discharge from the service and will now take up farming with his father. He was two weeks at Camp Lewis after leaving here, and from that camp he was- sent to Camp Fremont, where he has been ever since. He was not a little disappoint ed in not being called to go to France. Bess Gearhart Morrison Many interpreters of literature fail to learn the cardinal lesson that true greatness lies in simplicity and that absolute fidelity to nature is the dis tinguishing mark of the artist. This gr'eat lesson Bess Gearhart Morrison learned in the refining school of ex perience. As a result her impersona tions take on a character wholly sep arate and apart from the ordinary impersonation. The men and women she portrays are human folks with human faults, ., She holds the mirror up to Nature. Her understanding and sympathy are wonderful; her ability to touch and keep in tune with her the heartstrings of her hearers is al most uncanny. Mrs. Morrison ia com ing soon on the Lyceum course and in her coming a real opportunity pre sents itself. Every lover of inter pretative art should bear her.

Let us help you with our suggestions MINOR & COMPANY VJfcafoMaflEgaHM Authorities Agree it is Folly to Hold Off for Lower Prices. Begin Now On That CHICKEN HOUSE L pw.d nr" , ,r. - - i.ta iv tft'vzi Chickens make money these days and the wise farmer will see that his liens are properly housed in order to get as many eggs as he can. The poultry house shown can be easily built and its cost will soon be saved. We are prepared to tell you all about it and have the right kind 'of lumber in stock. WATCH OUT FOR THE ENEMY Rust is an enemy to ma chinery. Don't leave your rain. A machine shed like the one shown will protect tractor and plows out in the the ons shown will protect your machinery from the rain and keep down repair bills. We have the lumber in stock right now. Come in and see us about it. THERE IS BIG MONEY IN THE DAIRY BUSINESS You can't get it out tho, unless the cows give milk. And you can't sell the milk unless it is handled amidst clean, sanitary conditions. A milk house like the one shown can be built for a modest sum. and will give the required results. HOG HOUSE The Packers' profits start at the farm. Uncle Sam says . tlit packers are making too much money; the packers are busy explaining how little they make on each hog and how the fanners have benefitted through their combine methods. Before it is all over some change will be made and it is dollars to doughnuts that more of the profits will find their way into the farmers' pockets. Are you prepared to get your share of the increase? The old theory that the hogs can root for themselves hits been ex ploded. They must have clean shelter and quarters to put on wight rapidly. AVe can supply you with the lumber you want at right prices. THE MINTS OF THE FARM ARE THE BARN AND THE $ILO The farmer knows that the winter months are profit times. While his lands are idle after crops are harvested and sold, his livestock is putting on flesh that means dol lars and cents either in the shape of marketable meat, wool or milk, or strength for next year's work. The more comfortable the animas are kept in the win- ter time the less feed they will require and if the $ilo is well filled and kept in good condition the out-lay will not he noticeable. If you are not right with your animals, get right with them without further delay, build that ham and $ilo now. TUM-A-LUM ber HEPPNER' Lum LEXINGTON Get Your Victory Bond Early Comoanv JL IONE
