Sllete had planned to celebrate Arm
istice Day and had arranged a Tery
excellent program but as some parties
desired to attend the dance given by
the American Legion at Toledo, the
Biletx celebration was called off as a
consequence and evi number of bur
citizens attended the big 'ball given
at .Toledo. This no doubt will be re
ciprocated when Slletz gives some
entertainment In the future. It was
understood that a hush would fall
upon every community at noon in
memory of the Boldief dead who fell
on Flanders field In the cause of
human liberty. Slletz did not ouserve
that request although two of our sol
dier boys made the supreme sacrifice
Andrew and Paul Washington.
Armstice day will be a great day In
the history of the World to the end of
time. It Is to bo hopeil it a U'e i-" t.
council now sitting at Washington will
agree to dluarm the nations so the
people will learn war no more fore
ever. We should keep freBh In our
memory the boys who never came
back. We saw them start to the
fields of battle; we saw the mother
bid her boy goodbye; we saw the
kiss and long embrace -as alio gave
up her boy, perhaps never to see him
again;' we saw the boy restrain his
tears lest he give his mother more
pain; we saw the lovers as they
separated, pledging eternal fidelity;
we saw them with the last lingering
kisa as the train pulled out ' She
threw a kiss as he passed from view
In the distance, maybe for the last
time. The stores were closed from
10 a. m. to 3 p. m. The big flags
were flung to the breeze Iroui we
Agency buildings and from many
private homes recognizltica of ihe j
great day.
Moonshine is now less in evidence
than it has been for a long time. Wo
have but a small bunch that drink
moonshine. The most of our people
are law abiding. They believe in law
and order. Everyone knows that the
state waa voted bone-dry by a large
majority. The person who hides
away in some dark canyon to make
moonshine knows he Is violating the
law. He knows that any moonshine
that he makes that contains an Intox
icant Is a violation of the law and and
that is the reason he hides away in
the mountains so as not to be seen.
He is ashamed of his business. He
sits on his haunches like a coyote on
some prominent point to see who Is
coming and if it is not the right per
son everything goes under cover and
1t Is as quiet as a May moming till the
person goes away and the coast is
clear. But tfs Is not the worst of
it This moonsTitne stuff makes peo
ple crazy and that' Is one reason we
have so many .fatalities .witli autos.
Persons who are udder the Influence
of moonshine are not fit to drive a
car or go into society.

farm of Charley Anderson two miles

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT
Would you Invest $10 In a proposi
tion that would pay you $100 on the
investment? Sure you would!
Well, you will soon be given a
chance to Invest one dollar that will
bring you greater returns than thai.
How? Why easy, listen
The school board is building a play
room, gymnasium and auditorium at
the Grammar School building. The
board has gone the limit in putting up
the building, in fact a large part of
the work on tho building has been do
nated, and the Pacific Spruce Co. has
kindly donated rings and swings for
the partial equipment of the building.
The board cannot afford to equip the
building, nor build the necessary stage
at the end of the building. It has
been figured that it will take $125 to
buy lumber for the stage, and equip
ment for. the building. Labor for buna
lug the staje has kindly been donated
but the $125 for the materials must
be raised.
A committee has been appointed tfy
the Chamber of Commerce to raise
this money.' At a meeting of this com
mittee It was decided to Issue and
sell stock in the "Toledo School Aud
itorium," the stock will be priced at
one dollar per share, will be non as
sessable, and each family in the dis
trict will be asked to purchase one
share.
It has been figured, by experts, that
the dollar so Invested will be returned
to the parents of children attending
school many'TTmes over In the saving
of clothing and shoes, by reason of
having a dry clean place for the chil
dren to play In, and by having a place
for amateur theatricals, etc.
Remember this is not a donation,
but an investment
Please have your dollar ready when
the stock salesman calls.
A list of stockholders will be pub
lished in an early issue.

WHAT THE FARM BUREAU :
HAS DONE
President Geo. A. Mansfield in his
address at the State Farm Bureau
convention held In Portland last week
said ln part: "Farmers generally
appreciate the great benefit of their
community and country organizations,
but are not so readily Inclined to pre
ceive the no less great although
mora direct benefits of their Btato
and national organization. The big
constructive tacks of the farm bureau
are largely performed by ''.he state and
national organizations.
Your state farm bure-.u, although
very lnadquatoly financed, has ln less
j than a year brought about a great
chaPEe In Oregtc. The foliowins are
a few of tho achievements:
1. It has doni a larso amount of
educational work in shewing farmers
, the abnoluto necessity of organizing
! to protect their ltite-eets, as other
business Is creanlzeil.
j 2. With the help of the Grange and
j -Farmers' Unicn, it has organized the
Oregon Grai:t Growers, on a pooling
plan with a six var con tract. The
p pcjl is now aofvuly ei-ratins and to
i sellljg tha fam-cra wheat pt a pood
, ndvanco over tbe prices tfforod by
: local buyers. The gniu ;ool alcno
: will pay to Tanners mwy tlaiey tho
I cost of the f.trin bureau,
i 3. It has assisted the Northwest
' Grain Growu b In their organization
i work, nnd exorcised a lcallr.g prrt ln
tho oroivn'zation of the U. S. Grain
Growers Inc., through the presence and
Influence of the slate presldont, who
attended and spoke for the Oregon
plan of pooling at Spokane and at
Chicago at the national meeting. The
Blate vice-president, V. H. Smith, was
at the Chicago meeting elected one ot
the organization committee of the U.
S Grain Growers and Is one of Its
directors as well as of the Oregon
; Grain Growers. The grain pool Is a
great thing for Oregon.
4. The State Farm Bureau organ
ized the Oregon Co-operative Wool
and Mohair Growers Association
which, under the management of R.
A. Ward is more than fulfilling our
expecttons. As Illustrating the great
value ot co-operative work Mr. Ward
has HU 'ceeded in selling for 18c. low
grado M blood wool for which the lo
cal buyers were offering 9c. ami 10c.
a pound. The wool pool Is gaining
rspldly In favor with the farmers and
wl I we hone ultimately handlo tt't
p!itiM ciop of wool which is tributary
to I'ortiana. it is conservative siaie
ment when we say that the work of
this association. In properly handling,
grading and selling the farmors' pro
duct and improving sheep Industry,
will in a very few years time double
. the returns por heep from the Oregon
ifaim flocks 'o say nothing of the re-
suiting lncrer.se In number and size of
flock. The atato Farm Bureau has
asked our senators and congressmen
to stand for such a tariff bb will pro
tect the wool growers.
6. We have assisted In the Organ
ization of the Oregon Co-operative Hay
Growers' Association which Is under
.he management of L. A. Hunt with
'our cordial co-tperat'.on Is endeavor
ing profitably to market our hay crop
by bringing rod-.cer and consumer to
ge.hnr. The great obstacle here is ex
cessive freight ratas which must be
added to the cort of production and
this problem, both state and national
bur u.us are trying to help so'.ve.
6. The State Bureau hns tried to
foster end encourage all co-ciemtlve
commodity enterprises. It has insis
ted on a proper tariff on all fan.'! pro
ducts, throUL'li its prcsldcrts, presen
ted these mattors at Waahington, D. O,
at a speeHl t:etin? of the officers of
the American Farm Bureau Federation
and of the State Farm Bureau Presi

The State Farm Bureau alsf In

success will not huva been achieved

big fundamental problems of agriculture."
