Phone Main 81. COUNTY COURTS IN PAVING BUSINESS The Cottage Grove Sentinel takes occasion to remark that it never greatly favored the entering of the govern ment into business of any kind. It usually proves an ex pensive experiment. The Sentinel contends that any kind of. government in business makes an unfair competitor for private business, for it is not necessary for the government to pay interest on investment nor to show earnings on the investment; that private capital against which it is an unfair competi tor must help make up any losses that occur because of poor business management or extravagance, yet it is pre pared to make an exception as follows: But the County Court of Marion County has made an experiment this year that may prove it to be wise, ex pedient and fair for County Courts to go into the paving business. The Court of that county produces figures to show that it has laid at a cost of G7 cents a yard thicker paving than that being laid in Multnomah County at .$1.17 a yard. One of the items in the G7 cents is 15 cents a yard royalty for use of a private plant. The Court figures that if it owned the plant the cost would be reduced to 59 cents a yard, or almost exactly half the price being paid in Multnomah County to private contractors. The di Here nee between 59 cents and $1.17 is too great a difference. Private capital that will not be reasonable in its charges has no right to claim protection against com petition by the government. The figures by the Marion County Court are for hard surface and the cost is about that of the prevailing price for macadam roads. If the figures are accurate, and we have no doubt that they are, it is time for all County Courts to consider enter ing the paving business.

COMB SAGE TEA IN "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil," wrote .St. Paul and he is still at his evil work. Copper, the price of which is soaring amazingly, is the indispensable element in the war in Europe. Shells are what the belligerent nations are firing at each other, and shells cannot be made without copper. The vast expenditure of ammunition has created a scarcity of copper, and it is said that Germany is more hampered by lack of copper than lack of food, the block ade maintained by the Allies is more to prevent copper and other munitions of war from reaching Germany than supplies of food. It is said that the people of Germany are melting up, t heir copper utensils and selling the metal to the govern-1 nient for deadly use at the front. j Sympathy might be felt for the innocent people of Germany if they were in danger of starvation for want' of food, but emotions need not be deeply stirred because there is a lack of material for making deadly shells. The Allies are suffering from the same cause. Russia especially is hindered in its fighting by lack of shells. She has men enough, but they cannot fight effectively without I copper. Paul's old enemy, the coppersmith, is still doing much evil. I LIFELESSJGRAY HAIR Look Young!

Her bills for the past decade run closely parallel with those of Ger many. The natural question is: How do we happen to spend so much and get so little?
