One thing about the flu. The mar
ried men are staying home at nights
getting better acquainted with their
wives.
------- o-------
We must modify our opinion of
bootleggers. Those who are rustling
a little of the "critter" for flu pa
tients are Good Sainaritians.
------- o-------
Al) kinds of theories are being ad-
vanced as to the origin of the flu
plague. The latest is that it was
caused by the poisonous gas used in
the war.
It is to be hoped that the south-
west wind and rata .norm that struck
the county this morning will have
the effect of driving away the flu
germs.
------ o------
Just hear them squeal. We mean
the Germans when they read the
terms of peace. And then keep close
tab on pro-Germans and German
sympathisers in the United States
and in this neck of the woods, for
you will hear them squeal also.

8100.000 is to be expended on sur
veying, grading and graveling the
road. It is to the advantage of the
State Highway Commission to have
this road hardsurfaced, as well as to
Tillamook County, for it will relieve
the Commission of maintaining a ma
cadam road, for it is one of the stip
ulations with the County Court that
the Commission assume the expense
of the maintenance of the road. And,
further, it would be completion of
nearly ten miles of road which is on
the main highway of Tillamook
County. We cannot see how the State
Highway Commission can fail to ac
cept the offer of the County Court.
It looks as though government
ownership of railroads is going to be

portance. It will be remembered that
Bryan advocated government owner

a European tour, and that seemed to
cook his political goose. McAdoo is
now advocating the same thing, but
goes a little in advance of Bryan. He
wants the government to appropriate
82,000,000,000 to help run the rail
roads the next five years. If the peo
ple have to dig up a lot of money, to
help run the railroads, why can’t the
government apropriate money and do
the same thing for every public
utility corporation? One thing is cer
