brief extract on the "NegrO Life

School Board Bonds.

! The Corvallis School Bearc
/ has made a sale of an $1,000 bono
issue to local capitalists on q
basis of 4 per cent interest. The
money is to be applied in the
purchase of ground and erection
of new school building. The
bonds were taken by six local
investors. whose names have not
been made public.
The award of the bonds to To-
cal investors is in violation of a
provision of the school law, which
provides that the bonds shall be
first offered the State School
Board at S per cent interest rate.
The local board wrote the State
Board, offering the bonds at 4
per cent interest rate, but receiv-
ed no reply. Thereupen it sold
the bonds to local people, prefer
RUG to- take chances on being
compelled to pay the penalty for
vialation OF the law, rather than
let the bonds go at S per cent.
The fine prescribed for viola
ting the particular provision of
the school law that is involved is
$40 to 500. During the term
the bonds are to run, at 4 per
cent, instead of S per cent, in
terest rate will save the district
about 81 900.
Since the offering of the bonds
to the state land board is manda-
tory, there is a possibility that
the bond issue will be illegal

killed! Fell some fifty feet from
a bridge and killed! Her son.
you say, her pride and her stay,
her baby boy grown to manhood,
and she, poor mother, is crushed
beneath the blow. With head
bowed to earth, with eyes fasten-
ed upon the sod, she grieves and
buries all of him with all
that was all of him, save memory
sweet. Go to her ye who knew
her well, tell her to look up.
How can she see the stars that
shine when her gaze is glued
upon the earth. How can she
see the radiant beams of light
and hope and love that fold her
in loving en- GRACE, when she is
blinded in prison walls. Go to
her, this mother, ye whs have
wept and sorrowed! Go to her,
ye who have found the light!
Open the door to her sepulchre,
show her that he, the boy she
loved is with her still, is still the
same shield, the comfort, the
joy,-ie she will but lean upon
his arm. There is no barrier be-

distance, death, are but of person
ality, and all shall shift, shall
come and go-but Soul is stead

can you find this so? Look
within. AS it takes a God to
find a God, so it takes the con-
sciousness of Soul to realize
its own Immortality, to real
ize the steadfast principle that
lives within, to know that what
is truly really ours by soul right

up! There is no hope within

and the God witn1n us finds the
way. This is the open door for
