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."

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.

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

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.

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.

ities in Oregon in percentage of the
1926-1930 average given in the re

Bad Winter Hits Student Jobs

Don't
Guess But
Know
Whether the "Pain"
Remedy You Use
is SAFE?
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well -Being to Unknown
Preparations
THE person to ask whether the
preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly lg your
family doctor. Ask liim particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
He will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
"pain remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought If you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu
ritis and neuralgia. And the experi
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your own interest re
member this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store simply
by asking for it bv its full name,
BAYER ASPIRIN. Make it a
point to do this and see that you
get what you want.
Bayer Aspirin
Several women's organizations of
the college and city have helped in
the emergency by collecting and
donating groceries and used cloth
ing which has been distributed to
men who are batching and whose
supplies and money ran dangerously
low. There are 2141 men to 990 wo
men in college.

Make laundering one of your
Easiest household tasks
. . . by making your
home laundry
alL electric!
Q Decide now to banish laundering
drudgery from your home. You can,
if you make up your mind to have
an electric washer, an electric ironer
and an automatic electric water
heater correctly placed in a care
fully' planned laundry. You will
know maximum efficiency with a
minimum of labor. Your clothes
will last longer and be more attrac
tively finished. And your launder
ing time will be greatly reduced.
That prominent home service ad
visor, Jeannette Cramer, has de
signed laundries for 6 typical loca
tions to serve as a basis for your
planning. These plans are available
without charge at your nearest P. P.
& L. Co. office, and we are glad to
have you ask for them. No matter
if you must buy your electric ironer,
washer and water heater one appli
ance at a time. The important thing
is to have a plan and to work toward
the completion of that plan as you
buy equipment.

ELECTRIC WASHER
Modern electric
washers are kind to
even the most deli

efficient is their
washingaction that
every trace of dirt
is swished away in I
5 to 7 minutes. The
wringers are re
markable, too.
From paper-thin pieces, from
bulky pieces, water is extracted
equally well without your hav
ing to adjust the wringers in any
way. Both washers and wring
ers are built to give years of
trouble-free service.
ELECTRIC IRONER
The electric
ironer was
designed to (
take the back
ache out of
ironing. And
it certainly I
does thatl
You sit com
fortably and feed your damp,
ened pieces through so easily.
The ironer exerts all the pres
sure not you. It also frees you
from lifting and pushing. Your
pieces are finished with a truly
professional look. Best of all,
your Ironing is completed in half
the time formerly required.
V" w
ELECTRIC WATER HEATER
When you have an
automatic electric
water heater.you not
only have abundant
hot water for laun
dering, but also have
it for any use when
ever you turn a fau
cet day or night,
winter or summer.
No waiting no fir
ing up no heating
water on top of the
stove no holding a fire just for
hot water in fact, no bother at
all! It's just as if you had an
ever-flowing hot spring in your
home. Investigate this service.
