The State School Faces A
Crisis
At the agricultural college in 1913
there were 1364 full-time students;
there are now 3378. 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.

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

reater demand by the movie public
han ever before.
The band boys are determined that
money spent in their behalf by the

been spent in vain. They will be giv

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.

Surely there must be
better glasses for

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.

THE INVISIBLE BIFOCAL
Kryptoks (pronounced Crip
tocks) are made for people
whose eyes need help for
both near and far vision. The
Kryptok lens combines near
and distance vision in one
pair of glasses, yet you can
not distinguish them from
single-vision glasses. Kryp
toks represent the best that
science can do to give back
to eyes that are growing old
the perfect vision of youth.
Call and let us tell you
more about Kryptoks.
