Old Men Crave Learning Money in the Bible Americans are taring money as nt'ver before, and prohibitionists find comfort and ammunition In that.

Robert Service Gives Pledge to Serve People Robert Service, candidate, says: 1 believe that the people pay a preat dfa! more for telephone service than they should; that the public should not permit the railroads to capital ire the increase in value of land composing the railroad hiph vay for that value did not add one dollar to their original cost, neither has it benefitted the public one dol lar; that the paramount interest in our railroads and utilities is in the Government, or the people, ar.d ben efts, if any, accrue to the people. 2 am opposed to the Esch-Cummins cash pius system for our public business, such as railroads and util ities, there being no ineer.tive for economy. Its effect is shown in the increase of 8835 officers at a cot of J47.000.000 whiie employes decreased 123,33-1, freight train miles per cent, passenger train miles 3 per cent ar.d '03Ul Uncle Jalin Other hundreds of millions were Inverted in real .estate, bonds, stocks, etc In the world's history there is nothing like the wai In hirh the American people both STKND money and SAVE money. Savings average thirty million dollars a day, about thirty cents a day for every man, woman and child not bad. Yet you bar pessimists predict ing hard times and sensible busi ress men actually frightened by their own talk about "a bad Presi dential year." We are indeed "fearfully and wonderfully made," and well may we praise the Lord. What horri- t.e things Mlblil happen u our glan.is ran wild, as in the case of a little Russian boy four years old. He wears a full beard and has such ahnornial power that he wrestles successfully with grown men and must be watched lost he strangle bis playmates, having the brain of a child and no realization of power. Doctors say the unfortunate boy has excessive development of vari ous glands, especially the thyroid. million average human beings, was ths ton of a livery stable groom. Tha Governor of Connecticut, past fifty, will enter Yale Univer sity, to specialize in history and psychology when his term ends, and that is normal. At fifty, men really want knowledge and value it. In early youth they crave ex ercise and excitement. In childhood we lock them up In schools, forcing knowledge into them by a pumping process, when they ought to be out of doors. And when they are old we turn them out into the golf fields and let them make geese of themselves, when they really ought to be studying. The, Labor Government of Eng land has abolished all duties on automobiles, motor cycles, moving picture films and watches and that, in spite of Great Britain's terrific war debt. This highly intellectual Ameri can Republic is planning a tax on radio sets, which is about as intel ligent as it would be to tax school books or new ideas. To allow twenty billion dollars' worth of se curities to go untaxed and put a tax on human ingenuity is foolish, to put it mildly. Marvelously we are balanced, and we should be grateful. At the F luator, temperature 140, or the North Pole, 50 below sero, the temperature of your blood remains the same, not a change of one de free, while outside temperature changes two hundred degrees. And the earth, that floating hot house in which you live, sails through frightfully cold ether per manently at "absolute tero," cold inconceivable to us, and w are protected from it Washington predicts that postal emploves will get an increase of J 300 a vear, "all except laborers. WHY except the laborers ? Their children eat as much, wear out as manv shoes as others. The Gov ernment can afford to pay its work ers well, and should remember that the chili of a laborer may be the most important citizen of the fu ture, and. anyhow, should be well fed. Keats, the poet, worth ten Mason J. Aldrich bought a Bible at auction for twenty-five cents, and found in it two bills, one for $100, the other for ?2. A wonder ful bargain, newspapers call it. Put there are better things than $102 to be found in any Bible. There is salvation, most important, and if you are more interested in money than salvation, as some are, you can even make money by reading the Bible. Isaiah, Job, the Psalms stimu late the mind, make the brain work. A stimulated mind succeeds, whether in making money, or avoiding sin. "To lend dignity to their bobbed heads," English women wear fil lets of green and gold, or little spikes, in Goddess of Liberty fash ion. The real dignity of a bobbed head, is a well shaped skull. Noth ing is more dignified than the sym metrical head of an intelligent woman, bobbed or not. Eventually all women will cut their hair In such fashion as to show the whole forehead, the ears and the shape of the back head. But it will take time to get used to it. & ri The best photograph taken of Mrs. Coolidge since she became r istrass of the White House.

How gladly I welcome the verdant spring onion, that sheds o'er my garden its capable breath It's good fer my coid or to poultice my bunion, and helps to postpone when I'm flirtin' with death! Its virtues so rare, that I gladly repeat 'em. although they are easy and well understood, I challenge the strongholds of science to beat 'em in uplift, exclusion, perfum ery and food! What matter if friends an' companions forsake me, or face t'other way when I toot my bazoo? Of course Mi repent if my sins overtake me, and set by myself in a far corner pew. . . . Let neighbors insult me by holdin' their noses, and hintin' that "polecats is or, the increase" the onion don't smell like the ottar of roses, but she lends her admirers content ment and peace! And, while I am keerful in idyll and lyric, and deftly avoid any statements that clasli I'm quick to repel any mental hysteric that enters my kitchen an' fools with my hash! w; , rates were increased. i Cot of operation is guaranteed no matter how extravagant and the plus is too often paid on watered book- ; value that has no earning right. I recommend the repeal of Section j 534 Oregon Laws. It regulates the people and not the carrier; it de- I prives you of trial by jury when freight rates is the question to be j determined. I also recommend that actual cost, ! if prudently made, be the value of railroads and utilities for rate mak ing purposes and as the base for taxation and also to prevent further watered stacks and bonds being is sued in violation of all principles of justice and right. I believe it is time to look to the interests of the public. I will, if nominated and elected, probe the telephone and all other utilities to the bottom and when thoroughly informed as to facts will nght it out, in the courts if neces sary, to establish reasonable rates, and this is no idle promise nor is it an emptv pledge.

Nurses Carry Health Education Into Thousands of Workers9 Homes; Aid Babes and Young Mothers i i A ( To the young mother the tiny new luby is like a piece of bric-a-brac. She is afraid to handle it for fear she might break it. The first bath is such a fearsome or deal that it hps become customary for the nurse who administers the jre natal cire to come and give the little stranger his first good varhmg KiiUfatieil of thin ftort U r.ttrt f.f the woik of a visiting nurse.

It requires loggi d determination and physical tre.Mth to bi' enlisted in the ser vice and sometimes on the outskirts of lar;e cities the nurse will spend precious hours tramping through the mud to find a shack which is ,n no street and has no number. The account is endless of the !; l.nes and suffering caused by the ignoran'.-e of people of the poof r c':; s and espec.ally for eigners. One woman with five chil dren hioi ri-.gieeted an infected fin t'.T. The nurse summoned by the gi nt struggled through fields of i. i d only to find that the woman was sure it was nothing serious. The nurse insisted that a doctor be suinin oned, but the woman did nut want to spend the money. When the doctor finally came he lafteod it at once and oedaied r.hat it was only just in time to prevent the loss of the hand if not the wom-.n's life. Most of the women are eager to learn so that they may jrivt Lhoir children the bf,st pos olde treatment.

The three oldest, children had it, I but the nurse said the baby neer'n t i get it if the mother would tako proper precautions. This woman's day was not so full but that she ould find time to follow instruc tions to the letter; changing her apron every time she tended the baby, keeping him isolated in a separate room, boiling every'hmg, omitting no smallest detail. I' '"r nal vigilance was the price of suc cess and the baby escaped. if the person applying is able to ren der any kind of service in exchange. The need is imperative for used gar ments of all kinds, coats, dresses, sweaters, stockings, etc. Local churches are cooperating in this Bundle Day or bundles may be sent directly to the Near East Relief, CIS Stock Exchange, Portland, Ore. fOU CtfTTAlNLV T A 40QO VtVW rO0M THt Hov QVH6 Of TH1 lAPPCa OUT school, writes as follows .to Hepp ner friends on the unit plan: "I think it is far superior to the old plan In many respects. It Is more economical as alt supplies for the districts are purchased by the superintendent or central board. Teachers are largely placed by the central board, too, considering always the wishes of the local boards. The blanket tax means a more even dis tribution of funds. It gives more nearly even privileges to all children in all districts. The superintendent is appointed rather than elected which, of course, takes the matter somewhat out of politics. To my mind it is better school administra tion all around. California and the other states that have adopted the system would not go back to the old plan."

On this day the people of Oregon are asked to contribute outgrown, out of date, and cast off clothing for the 60,000 chil dren in American orphanages and f r the 500,000 people homeless in Greece. It is almost impossible in the midst of our prosperity to realize that chil dren on the other side of the world are clothed in rags and even starving to death. One third of a million peo ple are slowly starving although the government, relief agencies and the people themselves are doing every thing possible to bring them back to a condition of self support.
