Editorial The dark hours seem to have scattered among the pupils these last few days and weeks. One rea son for these dark hours may be that the six weeks is drawing near with examinations, book reports, notebooks, and back work to be made up. It seems that even though examination week is very much dreaded it is bringing us closer to the end of school. We should not want to have the days fly like min utes. Do we realize that when we are praying for school to be out we are praying another day of our life away? We should try to live a long life and accomplish as much as we can while we are here. The cold weather has caused many a gloomy hour. People are kept at home by illness, or do not care to venture out into the cold. It seems it will never come to an end, but if the groundhog is right we will have only two more weeks of winter. We should therefore try to mako the best of these dark days and think of the old saying. "There are no clouds so dark, But sunlight's piercing ray Tells us that the darkest hours, Are just before the day." H.H.S. Personals Mrs. Bloom is substituting for Miss Peterson, who is ill.

Engineering Jobs Exceed Grads Corvallis The problem around the school of engineering at Ore gon State college these days is not how to get jobs for the graduates but how to get graduates for the jobs. In civil engineering especial ly and to a considerable extent in other departments, calls for men are piling up faster than they can be supplied. Most of the demand is coming from private industry. the department heads say. Grad uates of the school who may have lost contact with the school and are looking for new positions arc urged to get In touch at once. NO UPSETS The proper treatment for a bilious child THREE STEPS 1T0 RELIEV1NB 7"jj C0HlT1PATIOa A cleansing dose today; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until bowels need no help at all. ANY mother knows the reason when her child stops playing, eats little, is hard to manage. Constipation. But what a pity so few know the sensible way to set things right I The ordinary laxatives, of even ordinary strength, destroy all hopes of restoring regularity. A liquid laxative Is the answer, mothers. The answer to all your worries over constipation. A liquid can be measured. The dose can be exactly suited to any age or need. Just reduce the dose each time, until the bowels are moving of their own accord and need oo help. This treatment will succeed with any child and with any adult. Doctors use a liquid laxative. Hospitals use the liquid form. If it is best for their use, it is best for home use. The liquid laxative they generally use is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Any druggist has it. Favorable Future Seen In Farm Business Trend Despite some counter - seasonal decline in several lines of industry from December to January, partly owing to exceptionally cold weath er, indications are that business conditions will continue relatively favorable through 1936, says the monthly review of farm price, cost and demand conditions just released by the OSC Extension Service. In dustrial output made an unusually sharp advance during the last part of 1935, the increase in factory payrolls being over 15 per cent from July to December. The U. S. index of factory pay rolls stood at 76 per cent of the 1926-1930 average in December 90 eo 50 At mid-February, the general level of iann prices was practically un changed in Oregon compared with January 15, when the Oregon index of average farm prices was at 72 per cent of the 1926-1930 average, against 72 'a month previous and 66 in January, 1935. This ad vance in farm prices in Ore gon has been accompanied by a sharp rise in the income o f industrial workers. Although farm prices in Oregon aver age 95 per cent of the 1910-1914 av erage.the pre sent level is about 31 points below the prewar "parity" exchange value. This is indicated because the government index of the cost of commodi ties bought by farm ers, interest and taxes payable.is 26 per cent above the 1910-1914 average. Each change of one point on the thermometer of the general level of farm prices in Oregon indicates a gain or loss of approximately 1J million dollars in the annual cash farm income for the state. 1926-30 -Average -Parir Htt-M -Average -Year 1935 Year 1934 -Yeac933 -Year 1933 ' HI I ram 1 compared with 68 for the whole year 1935, 61 for 1934, 48 for 1933, and 46 for 1932. The strength of consumer purchasing power is an important factor in the trend of farm prices, although the supply of the various products and other fac tors also influence farm price trends. The report contains considerable data on price trends of various farm commodities produced in Ore gon, listing in this way altogether more than 60 products. Horses and hogs are shown to be above or near the 1926-1930 average; butterfat, lambs, wool, potatoes and hay from 20 to 25 per cent below it, and with hops, dried prunes and apples at the lower end of the scale. Index numbers of January farm prices of representative commod ities in Oregon in percentage of the 1926-1930 average given in the re port Include eggs 64, chickens 73, butterfat 81, milk cows 65, hogs &3, sheep 57, lambs 79, wool 78, beef cattle 63, veal. calves 72, horses 132, wheat 70, oats 66, barley 65, hay 75, potatoes 79, hops 45, apples 57, and dried prunes 56.
