But, when Janet tried to explain
tactfully the refusal of his sweet
heart to visit him in his extremity,
Brereton put forth a quisting hand.
Never mind" he said smiling.
There are many things which we
learn lying in silence. The true
meaning OF the word love, perhaps.
Laila has that still to learn"

hastily. But Brereton's clasping

Questions and Answers.


st. Vitus' Dance-My daughter
aged 4 years is suffering from St
Vitus dance due to fright. She was
badly frightened six months ago,
and the trouble soon developed.
Please advise me what remedy l
had better try. She seems TO
grow worse instead of better.
MRS. X. K. C.
Answer-Fright does not cause
chorea (St. Vitus' dance), the
cause is Infection of nervous struc-
lures, the infection generally en-
tering via diseased tonsils. 1t
would be foolhardy and cruel for
you to try any remedy. By all
means place your daughter under
the regular supervision of your.
physician without delay.
The Root Of the Troublesome
tooth. X-ray films twice. Root
canal properly filed. Silver fill
ing. Gold crown over all. Still
sore. EMILY.
Answer-Problem for a good
dentist to solve.
Nail Biting-I am in the habit of
biting my nails. I hate to have
people see them so short. Do you
know of any solution that would
make them grow in a very short
time? R. P. S.
Answer-There is no such solu-
ton. Besides, you would only bite
them off anyway. Have the nails
regularly and frequently mani
cured by an expert manicurist to
remove the temptation to use your
teeth on them.

LAND VALUES RISING

The Snake and Malheur Valley lands
in this section have at last begun to feel the
effect Of the general rise in land values. The
wonder is that they have not risen in price
before this for there never has been time
when these lands were not as valuable as
any in Eastern Oregon or Western Idaho OF
similar character.
The sale Of the Dunphy ranch last weel,
for $4,000 while apparently an extreme
price is not exceptional considering location,
improvements and other elements that en-
tered into the consideration of the buyer,
and while it will not be cqualled immedi-
ately places relative value for all land in
the orchard tracts Immediately about 0nta-
rio.
Even more illuminating is the reported
sale of the old Tom Brosnan ranch just
three miles above Vale, on Willow Creek.
This 800 acre ranch which 20 years ago was
sold for $500, and two years ago trans.
fered for $1,000 was sold last week for
$4,000.
There was nothing exceptional in this
deal. No stock went with the place, but the
enhanced value of the land can be attrbut-
ed solely to the fact that the land is under
the Wamsprings Irrigation District and
will now be able to produce crops that will
give earnings on the enhanced value.
These high prices for farm land in II
year ought to materially effect the tax rate
of this county. 1t will no longer be possi-
bic for the assessor to place high classed ir-
rigatcd farms that the owners can get $3.50
per acre for on the rolls for 500. This I'M
crease in the total valuation will ultimately
be reflected in the size of the levy thruout
the county.
The hope of Eastern Oregon, so far as
tax burden is concerned lies i'm this direction.
There is no other way To solve the problem.
The cost of government cannot be reduced
for the people are always finding new tasks
for the governmental branches, and the dc.
mand for good roads and improved schools
will continue in scope and degree, therefore
we must have additional population to help
carry the load, and increased values ON
which to base taxation. The coming of the
people will be accomplished by such inn
provcmcnts and the higher values will fol-
low automatically.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1919-08-07
LAW ENFORCEMENT

The ultimate authority on law enforce
mcnt lies with the public. No matter what
may be the attitude of the officials selected
to enforce the laws of the city, county or
state, they will in the long rum not proceed
farther than public opinion will sustain
them.
OF course there are exceptions to this
rule, and the Jealous prosecutor rises to
superior heights, Hughes and Whitman in
New York, and Ilcncy i'm California came
into prominence thru their vigorous en-
forcemcnt of the l.ws but they were fight
ing crime in high places and tho fought by
powerful influences they had behind them
the popular approval of the mass of the
people.
In prosecuting the liquor laws the Of
iicialS in smaller communities are not so
sustained. AS Il matter of fact it is doubt
ful if there are many communities in which
public opinion has risen to the height ncccS-
sary to the successful prosecution of twenty
per cent of the boot leggers operating in the
territory 1t is only after the most fragrant
violations that such persons can be convicted
before iuies.
1t is a question of educated public opin-
ion, that is all, and that is coming. The
bootegger will continue as long as he can,
that is certain. Gradually more latitude
will be taken by the violators until some
crime occurs by brain melted with boot
leg whisky. Then the public will act, and
the way of the bootleggcr will be hard. To
avoid that the public thru its Jury duty is
the only hope OF course the fact that iuIies
fail to convict is no excuse for the officials
not to continue to do their full duty,
which they have sworn to fulfil. 1t is their
duty Just the same but it must be admitted
that they are not encouraged to go ahead,

CHAMBER APPROVES '

In it's report to the executive com

objections which might have been held
against the proposal of the Curtis Pub

TO HEAR TEACHERS
ON SALARY DEMAND
Gloucester School Stats Will
Attend Education Boards
Meeting Tonight

Gloucester City school teachers will
be present at tonight's meeting of the
Board of Education, when final action
is likely to be taken on the question of
increase in salaries.
The teachers have been busy for a
month, and the last few days circu
lated petitions among taxpayers. Since
then number of the taxpayers who
attached their names to the petition
have appealed to the school directors, it
is said, to vote against the increase.
The school directors declare that they
are not going to be made ''the goat"
between the taxpayers and teachers, and
if they can find any. way to raise the
money aud without making burden on
the taxpayers they will grant further
increase to the teachers. The appro-
priations for the new term were made
just before the teachers began their
drive for more money, and the board
claimed it could grant no further in :
crease than that provided for, which is
S5 per month for eaclf teacher and also
Il bonus of $50 to each teacher who
works the entire term. The teachers
arc not satisfied with this amount and
want an increase of 5000 per year. II
the board does not increase their salaries
they will be required to seek other posi-
tions. They have sent committees to
other cities and claim that the school
board can ask the Board of School Es-
Inmates for an added appropriation and
borrow the money and then include it in
the next tax levy.

DOGS INTELLIGENCE
FREES HIS MASTER
kelly" Military Poodle, Proves
to Court He's Not Pampered
Pet Of Society

Asleep in a cell in the Eleventh and
Winter streets police station today
were a poorly dressed man and little
white dog.
The dog was wet and cold and snug
gled up closely to the prisoner. The
turnkey noticed that the poodle fire.
quently licked the hand of the man, who
slept soundly with his arm tightly
wrapped around the frail little body OF
the poodle.
The prisoner gave his name as John
Haggert, and said he lived at Pennock
and Poplar streets.
Patrolman Turner said he arrested
Haggert last night at Twelfth and
Arch streets. The dog answered the
description of one which had been
stolen from a society woman. Turner
felt sure the poodle didn't belong to
Haggert, and so he arrested him or
suspicion.
Magistrate Grelis agreed that the evil
dcnce against Haggert was slim. "It
YOU can prove the dog is yours" sale
the judge, "we'll let you go"
And even as the judge made the sug
gestion, "Kelly"-for that is the dog's
name-whose instinct told him some
thing was wrong, rubbed his damp lit
tie body against the prisoners legs.
Haggert Strengthened up and stood
like soldier. Kelly" he shouted
stand at attention !"
The poodle stood on his hind leg
with head up proudly.
"Show us how the Yanks chased th'
Germans" said Haggert. The poodle
barked viciously and ran across tn
room with head bowed.
Halt! :" commanded Haggert.
Little kelly" stopped suddenly, stoo
on his hind legs, turned about face, an
went to Haggert in short jumps.
Even the magistrate applauded.
"You and your little army hav
won," he said, "and you're dis
charged"
Attention =" commanded Haggert
"Kelly" jumped to his hind legs.
Forward, march," said Haggert.
