Student enrolment and expenses of the schools has increased 150 per cent, while the income has increased hut 6 per cent. It is readily seen that the income has been negligible when compared with the steady in crease of operating expenses due to increased enrollment and the natural j consequence of high costs of every-1 thing. Naturally there could be but one! result, with such an inadequate in-; come. Buildings have been over-1 crowded. They have greatly run down and depreciated. It has been extremely hard to keep up efficiency. As one college president has said. "It has been hard work indeed, for us to hold our own under present condi-, tions. Progress and improvements have tvn out of the question, owing to the shortage of finances." ! Other states than Oregon are more favorablv situated. Many of their state institutions are not only strong-' !v supported bv state tax. but they; have been highlv en lo'ed by philan thropic people who have the welfare' of hicher education at heart. There-1 IVe those schools hive been in n po-: sttion to command the highest talent' in the educational world. Strong men who were connected with the state university and the agricultural college, have been lured to other in stitutions by reason of increased sal aries. Oregon has been helpless. Her student bodies at her schools are increasing each year. These stu dents must be properly cared for, if we are to make even a pretense at maintaining schools of higher learn ine. Citizens of Oregon must keep ever he fore them the fact that the time for action is near at hand. The mill ate tax bill hr the support of Oregon schools, the university, agricultural college and normal school, will be on the ballot at the coming election. Let Washington Fanners Try It Some agitators over in the state of Washington are criticizing Professor Hvslop of O. A. C. for his refusal to use up their scheme to get all ihe w!va; v,c:i of the north est to sign v v:;-;ut under which they ou'a he hound to turn over their yields foi :! o iKt i veurs to a cooperative organization they desire to form. But since the professor seems to be sup ported in his stand by the wheat growers of Eastern Oregon he has no occasion for worry. It is his dutv to help guide farmers from the pitfalls of impractical and questionable ef-; forts and while striving in that direc tion he will be entitled to commenda tion, not to censure. Various objections are raised to the Washington cooperative plan. One is that it would tie a farmer's hands for six years, yet would afford him no assurance whatever of ob taining the results he wants. He would have no way of knowing be forehand who would handle his wheat and necessarily he would be taking chances. On top of this is the fact that the men promoting the scheme are not in the w heat business and are 1 noted more for elocutionary powers! than for anything else. j From what it knows of this propo- i sal. the East Oregonian is strongly ! inclined to support the views of lo-! cal farmers and the judgment of Pro- fessor Hvslop. If the scheme is good, let Washington farmers try it I themselves. Pendleton East Ore gonian. Back to the Land Some Day Those who want nothing but land taxed, or who are urging the reclam ation of great areas of cut-over lands swamp lands and deserts, base their main argument on the necessity for nior; food. Grow more food and you reduce the cost of living. Ihev forget the main thing. Where are they g 'ing to get the men to farm the reclaimed lauds'3 Young men. and older men. too. are deserting the farms every day. lured by the pros pect of big money, shorter hours and easier work in the city. Thousands of young men who went to war from the farms never got farther back than the city. Thus the city itself is to blame for its own high cost of liv ing. There is today plenty of good land to farm without going to the desert and the swamp. This good land is idle because it is not profitable to farm it. Make farming more profit ablemake the country as good a place to work as the city and the abandoned farms scattered all over this country will he taken up and farmed. Man instinctively is a worker of the soil and onlv artificial conditions will keep him from his native ele ment. The conditions in the cities are now so artificial that they can't last; as sure as fate thev will wear out. But. in the meantime, they spend millions and billions reclaim ing land when tens of thousands of fertile acres are King fallow? J t Asent Advises Newspaper Ads. "The farm bureau i3 about to lauruh a publicity campaign through the county papers to cot farmers to poison squirrels at this season, and I would suggest that it might be worth your while to advertise in these county papers which reach most of our farmers In the squirrel-infested d.stncts." wrote t!enrge W. Kable, as riiultural agent of llenlon county, to u large Portland manufacturer of a i'.tiiums situirrel poison. Mr. Kable then gave the manufacturer the Mimes of three papers. This is in liue with the policy outlined at the county agent conference as most effective in getting farmer, dealer and editor to getlicr for most economical purchase of supplies and equipment needed in farm bureau projects. The O. A. O. press bulletins man recommends that advertisers mention the project in connection hv ith their ads us a proper means of stimulating the demand.

Many a Cleveland Six owner has said, "It would be hard to tell you what a good car the Cleveland honestly is. It's wonderful." The Cleveland is wonderful because conditions end equipment assuring it is a splendidly developed and finished product, not a car rushed into the market. Three years ego the plans for production of this car were far advanced. But, with war ap proaching, production and marketing were delayed though experimental and engineering work were continued and test cars kept on the road. When war ended, came the Cleveland. Built in a fine big factory, with all the very best of manufacture, and built by men whose successful ex perience had been wholly in the production of fine cars, the Cleveland Six began rolling out to the world last August. Since then thousands have gone to delighted owners, and thousands more are poing every month . There isn't nny other light car that will give you bo much of all that you wish, and at such a fair price.
