In 1913 there were enrolled at the state university 691 full-time students; now there are 1745. These figures do not take into consideration the many part time students, those who attend sum mer schools and those who take short courses and correspondence courses. The millage tax, provided for in 1913, has not provided increases in income to keep pace with the tre mendous growth. The assessed val uation of Oregon property has in creased very little since 1913. The university receives in actual dollars but S10.S46 more a year, the agricul tural college but $14,462 more and the normaJ school but $1445 more. The war placed a new emphasis on higher education, and this has been one of the factors contributing to the great increase in attendance at our colleges. State aid for ex-service men has resulted in hundreds of young men entering the university and agricultural college who other wise would have been unable to con tinue their studies. With their in come limited by law, the institutions have been unable to add to their fa cilities to accommodate these extra students. Buildings have been util ized to their last inch of space, class rooms have been over-crowded and administration officials have had hir wits taxed to the utmost in the solution of a problem not unlike th.e -'"?pin of "30 men in 10 beds." Tue ourchasing power of the dol , i,? tVmk f0 45 cenn since 1913 'o v-av-i'e the situation, the school heads have had to cope with mounting costs of equipment. It has been impossible to increase the sal aries of instructors in keeping with the added living expenses and many- have been enticed awav to other col leges able to offer higher salaries or to other vocations more attractive financially. The agricultural college has had 45 faculty resignations since July, 1919. All of these facts reveal plainly a crisis has arrived. If the state does not provide additional revenue, these schools will be forced to limit their enrollment and send hundreds of young men and women out of the state for their education. The ad ministrative heads have exhausted their resources in meeting abnormal demands with sub-normal income. They are, as they frankly state, "at the end of their rope." They are now placing the facts before the pub lic and asking for a decision. Let your vote be cast as if the de cision were wholly in your hands. Pendleton East Oregonian. What Is A Bolshevik Really Like? Many of us in the quieter places wonder what sort of people these communists and Bolsheviks are. Of course, we realize that they are des tructionists but what kind of human beings are they? The writer of this piece happens to have looked up this class of people pretty thoroughly and nowhere has he seen such true-to-life description of the human nature of the commun ist and anarchist as Henry Ford gives. Here it is; we pass it along to our readers : "The destructionist groups repre sent a type of individual which we always have with us. If they are apparently very noisy now about de stroying the more settled and time proved institutions, it is only because these institutions happen to be to the fore. When the subject was some thing else, the attitude was the same. "That is to say, the man whose on ly remedy for governmental flaws is to liestroy the government, is the same type of man who goes to break ing dishes on the floor in a fit of sner. He would rather smash his pipe than clean it; he would rather strike his son than counsel him. "Whenever men of this type are nlnced un against any problem which "feds intelligence and patience for is solution, they react at once to their temperamental cure-all, de struction. They are the kind of men who rip a collar to pieces because a buttonhole will not readily open. In a world of their own these men would not become bothersome, for in a world controlled by them there would be nothing to destroy." What Do You Eat? What Jo vou oat? On the whole, is your food much the same that crandad used to live on? Probably not. Anyway, it's inter esting to note the result of an inti mate inquiry recently made by the o;V"ce of home economics in the Uni ted States Agricultural Department. It consisted of a comparison of the foodstuffs purchased by 500 famine, with the amounts of the same fooos 1 purchased by 400 families about 20 years ago. The outcome shows that the am- ount of meat in the diet has decreas ed about 8 per cent, and grain pro ducts have increased about 6 per cent; vegetables. 4 per cent, and fruits 8 per cent. The average am ount of meat and fish supplied in the diet in the 500 studies was about 6 ounces daily per man ; dairy products, 16 ounces; grain products, 13 oun ces; vegetables, 16; fruits, 9; sugar and syrups, 3, and fats, 2 ounces. The use of milk increased up to 14 ounces a day, which is only one- third of a quart. We quite agree with the Journal of the American Medical Association that this is inadequate and shows that the people of this country undervalue the importance of milk in the diet. One-third of a quart of milk to a family is much be low what should be normal normal merely from a health standpoint. Perhaps, however, when somebody devises a way to get milk from the producers to the consumer with part of the heavy middle charge elimin ated, we will become greater milk drinkers as a nation and more healthy in consequence. Sulfur May Aid Plant Growth That sulfur acts directly in pro moting plant growth and also favors assimilation of more nitrogen by sti mulating legume bacteria develop ment and activity, is indicated in greenhouse trials by the 0. A. C. ex periment station chemists. Of two field trials one plot responded to sul furing and the other did not, showing the need of trials before making large applications. Experiments are still under way to determine what ef fect sulfur has on assimilation of ni trogen by clover with and without aid of legume bacteria. Truly, March came in like a lion. Twill be a long winter indeed, if the first month of Spring should fail to pass out like a lamb. Since Mary Pickford went to Nev ida and shone for a few minutes as a star before the foot lights of the di vorce courts, she will no doubt be in reater demand by the movie public han ever before. The band boys are determined that money spent in their behalf by the Commercial Club shall not have been spent in vain. They will be giv ing public concerts before many more weeks. Heppner needs more houses. Summer will come and go all too soon, with but little time left for all the work that is to be done if Morrow County is going to put on a first class fair next September. A get-together meeting and ban quet such as was held last Thursday evening, is a mighty fine thing for a town. And the get-together and pull together spirit should keep working for a bigger and better Heppner and Morrow county at all times. HKiH CLASS DRESSMAKING and tailoring work a speciality.

Surely there must be better glasses for and far near vision If you are tired of scowl ing over reading glasses; if you are tired of fussing with two pairs of glasses (one for near vision and one for far vision) ; or if you dis like to wear ordinary con spicuous bifocals that make you look old, you should In vestigate Kryptoks.
