ONE WAY TO A MIRACLE.

The state publication of school text
books has been undertaken by Kansas
The legislature of that state has approprl-
ated quarter of a million dollars to es-
tab1ish text book plant. This is to be the
extent of the taxpayers investment. Books
will be distributed at profit sufficient to
cover depreciation, replacement, and an IN
terest of 4 per cent on the investment.
The cost of the publication of the state
school books is not expected to be much
less than that of publishing houses. But
Kansas intends to save its citizens from
paving the big profits made by the book
concerns. 1t does not have to create its
market Education is compulsory, the
school book market is created by law, and
thus there are no advertising expenses, no
travelling men, no resident agents in large
cities, no lobbies at the state capital.
Dealers are allowed Is per cent profit, and
the dealers pay the freight charges
For 40 years Kansas has done other
kinds of state printing by the contract
system under which the state printer often
made from $4,000 to $4,000 annually,
To do away with this abuse, Kansas finally
undertook to do its own printing, with so
much success in reducing the cost that the
present experiment in the publication OF
school books followed as matter OF
course
The Kansas enterprise deserves the at
tention of all serious citizens Compulsory
education should mean the best education
at the lowest possible price. It should not
mean that taxpayers may be forced by law
to submit to exploitation by school book
combines.
By taking over the publication of text
books, the state also eliminates the politi-
cal activity of private publishers, and thus
takes the schools out of politics $50 fa1
as such miracle is possible.

COWS AND co-oPERATIoN.

Cows. cooperation and community
spirit-these have been the three elements
that spelled success in other parts of the
country. Why not in West Florida?
Read what others are doing:
The United States reclamation service
in Texas has started a cooperative
dairying experiment with the result that
at the present time members of the asso-
citation are shipping about 1000 gallons
of whole milk daily into FL Paso at ~
cents a gallon; are finding market for
sweet cream at $1.25 to $1.50 gallon,
with the promise of big increase with
warmer weather A thousand gallons OF
milk at 90 cents a gallon means 5000 in
cash every day, $4,000 every month, and
$4,000 a year This production will
probably be doubled next fall.
Something like so farmers have gone
into the dairy business and have joined the
association
Inevitably they are becoming better
farmers, for they are compelled to plan the
proper rotation of crops in the growing OF
their own feed.
The association was brought about
through the efforts of P. B. Barber, county
agriculturist for Dona Ana-co, N. NJ. The
farmers of the Mesilla valley, under his in
spiration decided to go into the dairy
business AS starter they bought 81
carloads of dairy cows, valued at about
$4,000 Within a few weeks after the
cows arrived from Wisconsin and Iowa,
these farmers found themselves producing
from 300 to 400 gallons of milk per day.
But they were inexperienced in handling
the business. So cooperative dairy as
ISOLATION was founded for mutual help.
This has now expanded into the Rio
Grande Cooperative Dairy Association. !"
Meeting after meeting was held, retail
dairymen from FL Paso were interested,
and finally deal was closed by which the
output of milk was to be marketed in E.
Paso by the local dairymen. Now the
health officer of FL Paso has reported that
the milk shipped in by these farmers is OF
higher grade than that sold by most Of
the retail dairies of the city.
A number of men bought their cows toe
late to grow the grain ration necessary anc
these have thrown in together and have
bought several cars of good grain at low
prices.
More and more the individual farmer i
coming to realize the value of teamwork
with his fellows-the practical utility O.

FLAG DAY. 1916.
CLest We FOrget).
. = AA~~~ % AA~%AAA


There are many indications which
betoken the most interesting obser-
vance ever of Flag Day, June IA, 1916
in patriotic fervor and demonstration
during all the 139 years of the OH
cial recognition of the Stars and
Stripes as our National Ensign. This
is altogether befitting and enceurag-
ing. Great Nation oursI Great flag,
the Stars and StripesI Beneath its
folds no sieve or bondsman can now
be found. In pride, in love, in vcnera-
ton, in joy, and thanksgiving we look
upon our flag as the best which floats
under Gods unfading blue heavens,
and realize that it is a proud honor
to be an American; appreciate too,
that our flag waves over a land so
broad that the light of sun never
ceases to shine upon it and in chimes
where SHOWS never melt and streams
never freeze; that it warns by its
brilliancy and fervency the oppressed
and enslaved of other lands, who look
upon the Stars and Stripes as a bea-
con of hope and promise of deliver
ance; planted as God planted the tree
of life for the healing of nations, and
as we fervently hope for firm and
abiding peace to speedily come, glor-
iously contaminated by the melting
of all thrones and all crowns.
The welding firmly and forever Of
our sectionalties on the Cuban anvil,
made possible only by the Spanish
American war, was blessed of heaven.
Yorktown, Appomattox, Cuba and
the Philippines are mountain SUBMITS
IN our country's history, and from
those majestic heights liberty pluTned
its wings for holder flight and wild
er range.
/ It is almost unthinkable that men
who never had country until they
en1igrated to this have thrown the
Stars and Stripes to the breeze as an
advertising banner for their business
1t Is ours to preserve it from every
contamination and that it may ever
stand in its naked purity, sanctity
fellowship and kindred virtues only
for American Institutional safety and
glory. The Star Spangled Banner
speaks for itself with its silver stars
and crimson bars, as eEoquently al
the rainbow set in the sky tells OF
hope and the fair morrow.
Keep the flag waving, not at ODD
seasons or by fits and starts, but al.
ways, that the earliest zephyr may
kiss its waving folds, the first faint
sunbeam peeping over the eastern
nils may flash upon its glitterins
stars, and until the brighter glorie:
Of the day fade into the paler glorie.
OF the evening twilight, let Old GLORY
wave, an object lesson to the young
these especially of the public and

hgious liberty; memorial Of those

BUILD NEW RAILROAD
TO NEWPORT, OREGON

Portland, Ore, Aug. 14.-An entirely
new railroad for Portland that will
mean much to this city as well as a
large and rich section of the state at
present without railroad facilities will
be started between Newport and Port
land within 80 days, declared DR.. A. j..
Fawcett, of Newport, chairman of the
citizens committee of that place.
DR.. Fawcett' IS committee has just com
pleted its guarantee to the railway
people of $4,000, and the assurance was
given that as soon as this was done the
first 10 miles of the road from Newport
north would be started.
The Portland & West Coast Railroad
& Navigation company is the name of
the new line. 1t is projected from
Newport along the beach to Otter Rock,
Siletz, Devils Lake to Salmon River,
thence across the divide to the Grand
Ronde reservation, Willamina, Sheri-
dan and McMinnville to Portland.
Timber Reserve Large.
The projected line will be 1l2.27 miles
in length, according to surveys so far
made. 1t is declared by DR.. Fawcett
it will make Newport Portland's Is near
est beach resort, bringing that point
closer than Seaside is at present. The
line, it is said, will also open up A.
900 100000 feet of standing timber, and
will run branches to other coast points
and into the surrounding territory.
Climber interests have agreed to fur
nish $4,000 for the railroad and both

port citizens will be given to the COM

PRUNE MARKET SLUMPS
ON BIG CROP REPORTS

Oregon has an exceedingly good
prune crop in sight. according to au'
thentie reports coming from the var
ious centers, and Polk county will
contribute more literally than hereto
fore to the total of 35,000,000 pounds
estimated for the present year. The
most optimistic hold that the crop
will reach fully 100000 pounds, but
that this figure will be reached seems
hardly probable. On the former ba'
sis, and at price of six cents per
pound, the value of the Oregon prune
crop for 1916 would be above $4,000
O90. But the probabilities are that
the quotation of price here made will
be exceeded by at least one-half cent.
Not only will the Oregon crop be
good according to present indications,
but reports coming from California
are that heavy yield is in prospect
there. A communication received in
Portland this week from a California
authority estimates the California
pruue crop at l40,000,000 pounds.
Prospects for a good prune crop are
reported TO be also excellent in
France.

from the producer to the jobber at the
present time and consequently nothing
on which price can be gagged. job
bers quotations are eight to nine cents
for Italian prunes. With light de-
mand for prunes at the present time
and every prospect for good crop,
dealers are holding off at the present
time in order to see what the market
will develop.
The restrictions placed on the i'm.
portation of prunes by England is
thought TO have something to do with
the present inactivity of the prune
market. This restriction, however. is
expected to be raised later, thereby op-
ening up the market for the American
product-Dallas Observer.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

when the regular water supply was
impure. This summer vacation he
is spending in an office-earning
money and learning the business
which he will follow when he is
ready to leave school.
1t may be urged that thrift was
born in this boy. No doubt 1t was.
But thrift is something that can be
cultivated by anyone-the ordinary
and the extraordinary. The boy re-
fcrred to had the right idea--thc
idea of big business eoncerns-of
saving the pennies. They save PEN
nies and therefore dollars--prevent-
ing waste.
A few years ago wreck on one
OF the railroads cost the company
$250,000. The president sent around
word that il each employe would
save FIVE cents worth of material a
day, or do FIVE cents worth OF extra
work in a day, the $250.000 would be
made good in a year.
The Pennsylvania Railroad re-
quires that every nut and bolt be re-
paired and used again when possible.i
and the cotton waste used in wipingi
engines is cleansed and used again
