HOHROW COVSTY OFFICIAL PAPER
NATIONAL ATTACK
ILLITERACY.
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.

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.

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.
