Adventists Oppose Beer Bill Pending in Congress In an enthusiastic mass meeting held at the Seventh-day Adventist church in Boardman January 7th an audience of ardent prohibition and temperance advocates unani mously adopted a petition opposing Beer Bill H. R. 13742, which has al ready been passed in the house of representatives, and which is now pending before the United States senate. The petition, which is to be sent lmmedlatetly to Senator Steiwer was presented by J. M, Nearness, pastor of the church, The petition, and the reasons for their opposition to the beer bill and like attempts to modify the Volstead act and repeal the 18th amendment were as follows: "Alcohol Is a narcotic It pois ons the system, disqualifying the user for business; it paralyzes in austries Dy unnumg the users thereof for the regular perform ance or work. "It Impoverishes the families of the ordinary workmen, leaving in us wane sorrow, poverty, shame and often complete ruin. It endangers life. Twenty-six million automobiles and automobile trucks, carrying millions off our people at high rates of speed, make It Imperative that only peonl should drive who do not use alcohol In any degree. What affects one driver seriously might not affect the other, but the one affected is menace to life and property. "Why should a great country like America stoop to raising revenue for the maintenance of its govern ment from the sale of alcoholic bev erages which have in their use all the elements of waste, crime, and death?" was a pertinent question In the petition, which closed with u very Impressive appeal as follows; "In the name of humanity, social justice, and the general welfare we beseech your honorable body not to give your support to this meas ure that would legalize the sale of Intoxicating beverages." Several copies of petitions' for signatures were circulated among those In attendance, the receivers stating that they would visit resi dents of the community to secure signatures that the representatives in Congress may know that the people back home are against the return of beer or any other intox icating beverages, Y.

That higher education in Oregon ha3 already gone far with economy in state affairs by reduction in ex penditures of about 22 per cent in the past two years, and will cut still further to more than 31 per cent on the basis of prospective income from present authorized sources, is shown In the biennial report of the state board of higher education re cently issued for distribution to members of the legislature, state officials and libraries. The published report provided for by law contains 151 pages and in' eludes the report of the board for the system as a whole, the report for the Universty of Oregon sub mitted by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president there during the 1931-32 biennlum, the report of Oregon State college by Dr. W. J. Kerr, formerly president there though now chancellor of the system, and the report of the normal schools submitted by J. A. Churchill, direct or of elementary teacher training. Average reduction for the past two years amounts to $1,161,291 as compared with the average expen ditures for each year of the 1929-30 blennium, the report shows. Cur tailments effected by the board in cluded salaiy reduction through out the system already in effect ranging from 5 to 15 per cent, which involved savings at the rate of J182.000 per year. In order to meet further shrink age in Income from present author ized sources, additional curtail ments for the system aggregating $830,000 are outlined by the board In its report, part of which will be made up by further reducing salar ies so that the total cut under the 1931-32 base will range from 9 to 27 per cent Additional drastic sav ings in the salary account are being made by heavy reduction In number of staff members, made possible through consolidation of certain de partments, decreased enrollment, and complete elimination of some former activities. Continuing appropriations re stricted to branch experiment sta tions, extension work and similar projects in agriculture and home economics the only state income outside of the millage now coming to higher education will be auto matically reduced through shrink age in county appropriations which are matched by the state, the re port points out. "Such changes in organization will be effected as will insure the greatest possible efficiency at the lowest possible cost," the board's report concludes. "Effort is being made in all cases to retain as many as possible of the most essential types of work In the various insti tutions. "While reductions have already been such that efficient service is threatened in many phases of work, the board is deeply conscious of the economic emergency through which the state is passing and Is resolved to make the best of the situation."

C, (Autocaster) January 25. No President within the memory of anyone now living was so universally popular with all ranks and kinds of people as was Calvin Coolidge. It is probably true that among people of all parties, beliefs and callings, he had fewer enemies and more genuine admir ers than any President since Wash ington. Here in Washington there is lit tle reverence for Presidents as such. They come and go, while the per manent inhabitants of the District of Columbia stay on their jobs. But for once official Washington was genuinely and deeply grieved when the news oame that Mr. Coolidge was no more. And wherever his name was spoken there was some reference to Mrs. Coolidge who en deared herself to all classes of peo ple in Washington as few Presi dents' wives have ever been able to do. People liked Mr. Coolidge because he didn't pretend to be anything but what he was, just one of the ordinary common people. They liked him, too, for his dry Yankee humor, and it will be years before Washington gets through repeating humorous anecdotes about him. One of the stories most frequent ly told is that at a dinner which he attended when Vice-President, a lady sitting on his left said to him, "I have made a bet that I can get you to say three words. "You lose," replied Mr. Coolidge. Those Few Words A few years ago two. or three books were published which attack ed the character of George Wash ington. A newspaper man asked Mr. Coolidge what he thought of him. He looked out of the south window of his office toward the Washington Monument "I notice his monument still stands," he said. Frank W. Stearns of Boston, Mr. Coohdges closest friend, tells story illustrating the late Presi dent's capacity for silence when he had nothing to say. The day Mr. Coolidge was nominated for Vice- President he asked Mr. Stearns to take a ride with him. The Govern or of Massachusetts said, "How do you do?" when they met They drove fifty miles, till Mr. Coolidge said, "guess it's time to turn back." And that Mr. Stearns declares, was the entire conversation of the 90 mile drive. Mr. Coolidge was very fond of walking around the streets of Washington and looking into the shop Windows. He was seldom rec ognized, merely because people don't expect to rub elbows with the President of the United States on "F" Street There was always a secret service man close by. One day Mr. Coolidge was hailed by a passing motorist from a distant state who wanted to know how to find the nearest road to Baltimore. With great pains Mr. Coolidge drew a map on the back of an envelope and gave it to the tourist who thanked him and drove on, totally unconscious of the fact that he had been guided by the President of the United States. A lady who was introduced to President Coolidge at a White House reception spoke of a speech which he had recently made. "I en joyed it so much I stood up all through it," she said. "So did I," said Mr. Coolidge. I MILK II FLOUR I 7 Federal Brand I MacMaiT, BW. $3.49 ttn 40C I Prrose, Bbl. $2.98 1 l-H O V A wonderful hard wheat flour P.N.

In Rocking Chairs When the Cootkiges first went to the White House he surprised the staff by having rocking-chairs placed on the west portico, which fronts on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington's main thoroughfare. This is really the back of the WhlU House, the south front looking out over a hundred acres or so of en closed lawn and being screened from sightseers by thick groves of trees. But Mr. Coolidge said that he liked to see the automobiles go by. Within a day or two, however, the automobiles got the habit of stopping in front of the White House, so that their occupants could stare at the President sitting on his veranda, and more because rt was obstructing traffic than from annoyance at being stared at, Mr. Coolidge consented to having the rocking chairs moved to the south poryco. Few men could say more In fewer words. After all, how can the old American position on the matter of war debts be better summed up than in the simple brief sentence with which Mr. Coolidge answered the question as to whether he thought Europe should be required to pay. "They hired the money, didn't they?" Contrary to the general belief Mr. Coolidge did not pick Mr. Hoover as his successor. He liked Mr. Hoo ver and Mr. Hoover liked him. The two men met at Mr. Coolidge's Wis consin fishing camp during the sum mer of 1928, after Mr. Hoover's nomination. They posed together for the newspaper photographers sitting on the bank of a stream, "If you gentlement would talk to each other it would make a better picture," one of the photographers suggested. Mr. Coolidge turned to Mr. Hoover and said something to him in a low tone. Mr. Hoover made no reply. "It's no use boys, I can't get Mr. Hoover to talk," said Mr. Coolidge without the slightest change of ex pression. Since January 5th there has been no living ex-President of the Uni ted States. That has been the case only five times before in our his tory, and then only for a few months at a time. Two former Presidents, Taft and Coolidge, have died since Mr. Hoover became Pres ident EDITORIAL SHORT STOPS.

' If you cannot do great things re member that you may do small things in a great way. Work is the world's richest gold mine. The more government we have the less we care for it. Will Payne. Legislation cannot make prosper ity. The constant and consistent ad vertiser is still doing business. Every government official or board that handles public money should publish at regular intervals an accounting of it, showing where and how each dollar is spent This is a fundamental principle of dem ocratic government; and besides, the people who put up the money are entitled to the information. A study was made by the Depart ment of Commerce of 205 concerns which bettered their 1930 business in 1931. The report lists some forty reasons for that success. Most of them are "selling, 80 cases, and sales effort in 45." What is adver tising but sales effort? Nation's Business. Home is where you scatter the Sunday newspaper all over the premises.
