THE DAY IS DONE
Ti.e i don ami the darkness
Vn.U from the winRS of ntght
i v fted demnward
i',..,n an eaute in its i)iht.
.iilits of the village
.,; the rain and
the mist,
- '.-u of sadness comer
o'er me
,n ii im .no resist;
mtf of sadness and
longinjr.
That is not akin to pain,
An.i resembles sorrow on!y
m - r sem -s rain.
v , raft tame some poem,
S , n- simp'e and heartfelt lay.
r- it ihM oothe this re tless
feeliug
And banish the thoughts of
day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Notfrom the bards sublime,
Whose distant footfalls echo
Through the coridors of time.
Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from hi?
heart.
As rain from the clouds of
summer.
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his enul the mu.ic
Of wonderful melodies.
Then read from the treasured
volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rime of the
poet
The music of thy voice.
And the nights shall be filled
with music.
And the cares that infest the
day,
Shall fold their UnU. like the
Arabs.
And silently steal awav.
NULIFICAT10N
From the noise made by th
proponents of the agitation foi
the modification of the Volutes
Act and the virtual nullification
of the 18th amendment to the
Constitution, it might be thought
that the failure of ahe Act is
total and that nullification needs
only to be admited.
The truth is that ti c wail is
due to the enforcement of the
enforcement of act and that the
howlers for modificpticn arc
learnining that construe IvsnnU
ification is dangerous and increas
ingly so. If violation of the act
were safe and easy, the roar i'or
modificationtwould scon subside.
WHY DELAY?
The big task before the deople
of the northwest is electrical de
velopment. Provide'this and the
useof electricity fo'lows as a
matter ol courne. It is idle to
ay re must delay development
until there is a greater demand.
There is demand new for all the
power that can be produced and
the demand will never be lacking
If rates are provided in line with
the low cost possibilities open to
us.
What ws need is a program
that will secure results. When
we have that we will have the
key to future progress; we will
not open the door until we (to
have the right key. The proposal
velodment and private distribu-
n connection with the Umatilla
rapids project, likewise the Colo
rado project, locks to Federa1 de
tion. It seems a rational plan, it
has the approvrl of the secretary
of the interior and it has ihe ap
parent endorsement of the bin
chieftains in the electrical field.
There is reason therefore to ex
pect action anc these results may
be provided sooner than anyone
expects.
Tne Columbia river is able and
willing to pay for.its own devel
ipment; why should thtre bt
ielay?

Keep Home in Repair;
Adds Much to Value
When Inclement weather makea It
Impossible to do much work on the ex
terior of your home la an excellent
time to plan your repair aud upkeep
campaign. Uo over your home thor
oughly both on the Interior and ex
terior, and make a complete list of all
things that require repairs or renewal
In the event that you hare been lax In
the rant In keeping your home In flrst
clas condition you probably will And
number of things that will require
attention. Thla system of checking
up on your home well In advance of
the time when It will be possible to do
the work will be of great advantage
in either planning to do the work your
self or In finding the proper mechanic
at the least cost, and It will also pro
Tide time In which te accumulate the
necessary funds.
That keeping a home In good repair
will add many years to Its life and
much to Ita value la recognised by
most borne owners, yet It Is surpris
ing how many home are allowed to
become dilapidated by reason of neg
lect. The home usually represents a
sizeable Investment and to many the
only one ef any magnitude.
Those who have other Investments
will go to great lengths to protect
them, yet they will at times slight
the most Important Investment that
they can ever make and allow their
home to depreciate In value.
Any one owning a home should
strive to keep It In as near Its original
condition aa possible, which can be
easily done by strict adherence to the
rule of replacing or renewing any
worn part in Its earliest atagea of
Pay to Remodel
"It la possible, by remodeling old
houses, for the family of moderate
means to own Its own home, or even a
country home in addition to Its city
apartment," aaya a bulletin from "Bet.
ter Homes In America." The country
house can even be bad with profit, for
it can be leased for abort periods and
be regarded aa an Investment rather
than a liability and luxury.
"Finding such a borne Is sot Impos
sible, even within commuting distance
of a large city, the only problem being
to take time to find It, and to recog
nize the possibilities for Improvements
on old houses under unprepossessing
conditions. Some of the most atro
cious examples of mid Victorian archl
lecture and the most dilapidated old
shanties may be made surprisingly at
tractive by the use of a little skill.
Ingenious thought and the removal ot
meaningless ornaments and parti'
tlona."

Small Towns' Growth
Shown by Statistic!
For nmny years we have witnessed
In thla country the phenomena of pro
nounced population shifts from the
rural districts to the cities. While this
movement still may be In progress, the
development of aeml-rurul environment
lias been carried to the place where
the big cities of the first magnitude
are now growing seemingly no more
rapidly tlum are the small cities and
large towns, ami we even may he on
the threshold of a reaction from the
traditional pro-urban migration.
From the niost complete and reliable
ource of building Information avail
able In this country. It Is found that
during the first nine mouths of WX
the '.'5 leading cities of the country, In
point of housing construction, enjoyed
building gain of about IT per rent
over the same period of 11)24. From
the same authority It Is learned that
344 cities and towns, exclusive of the
23 metropolises, showed a combined
Increase of substantially the same per
centage. Included In this list of ,144
centers were some pla'cea with only a
few thousand population.
While these figures are not conclu
sive, they are enough to the point to
arouse the Interest of the student of
current economic conditions, and to
Justify the hope tliut the small town
Is beginning to come Into Its own.

Community Joins in
Shade-Tree Planting
Residents of Polytechnic, a auhnr
bun illstrlt-t of Fort Worth. Texas, are
comluftlng a tree planting campaign.
tarried to a succensrul conclusion, it
will result In the parkways alongside
every street and avenue In the suburb
being lined with shade trees of uni
form size and variety.
The movement Is a result of the
effort of a resident of Avenue M to
Improve the appearance of his Imme
diate neighborhood. Sews of the Ave
nue II benutlficatlon project spread
rapidly to other streets In the auburh,
and Its sheer merit swakened the
pu'uu'c conscience, with the result that
now there Is hardly a atreet In the.
district on which some self-appoln1
committee Is not trying to put over a
linl! ar program.
Indications are thst each street will
select different variety of tree. Thus
a motorist In a few years may be aide
to drive through the suburb la the
shade of trembling sycamores, return
by another route shielded from the
