Another old land mark is being torn
down in the progress Salem is making
to become modern city. This is the
old two story frame building at tue
corner of South Commercial and Trade
streets, now owned by the Salem Water

The building in which the present Of
flee of the water company is located is
owned by the Oregon Pulp & Paper
company and will be used this fall by
the paper company for an office. Find

about so feet.
The old frame now being torn down

wealthy druggist of those days and for
short time used SIS a hotel.

HAMMOCK FOR BABY USED IN
 FORD

Many a weary mother has stayed home rather than hold baby on her lap for long auto tip. She need not do this, for it is very easy to make a hammock to be suspended back of the front seat of the Ford and here let the baby sleep. F. C. Hathaway, County Agent of Walsh County, N, D., has used such ham mock for two children, and each has ridden many hundred miles in this way. He gives the following direc, tions for making such hammock:- Take two pieces s inch rope each long enough to reach from one top bow around back of the seat to the other Splice into these two short pieces to make a rectangRe about foot wide and nearly as long as the car body is wide. Leave ends of rope at the four corners to tie to the four bows, of the top. > h.
 Over this rectangle fit dennim basket about 2 feet deep. This will make a very satisfactory hammock and one that can be used any time of the year. Baby carried in it will be happier than in mothers lap and mother will have a pleasant trip Farm Information Service, Extension Division North Dakota Agricultural College. -,

SCHOOLS SHORT OF TEACHERS

Owing to lack of teachers many of the schools of the state will not be opened for the time being, although later on teachers that have been un- able to get employment in other states may take the country jobs. Arizona demand for teachers is growing year by year and the demand for higher grade of educational material is grow ing with the years. Despite the fact that thousands of teachers are being turned out every year by way of col lege and normal schools the demand exceeds the supply. Teachers are poorly paid as a rule and whenever opportunity comes to get into some better paying employment the schools loses a teacher. A base rate of at least $10O per month should be paid teachers and their employment should be for twelve months instead of the term, as at present. The ordinary mind cannot see why teachers should be paid when they are not working believing that, like ball players, they should take up some other employ ment during vacation time. But this is a wrong idea. Teachers are paid for their ability to impart an educa. tion to a child and many of then have to take up Ia course of study during the vacation, the people anc children getting the benefits of thu knowledge acquired.

Gold Market
 Reestablished

At last the British government has allowed the reestablishment of the gold market foT the mines of the Transvaal, South Africa. For four years past the governemnt has placed restrictions on the export of gold from South Africa, every ounce go- ing into either coinage or bars. The government had set value of 77s 9d ($1S.92) per fine ounce, but under the new agreement with the produc- CTS value of approximately l$2O.S1, or about thirteen cents in excess of the price of gold in the United States was placed on the product Just why any price should be placed on raw gold is not apparent to the producers of that metal, as an open market would surely result in the making of rate far in excess of the figure placed on it by the government. Even in the United States there has to be per init obtained to allow of shipments of gold to any foreign country, possibly because the demand might be far in excess of production and consequent higher price for the metal. It is con fidently believed that were all restric- tions removed from gold movement a price of close to $30 per ounce would be realized and a peculiar situation be brought about. The government could not we'll allow gold bars to reach a higher value than the coinage value and therefore a compromise would have to be made, which would entail a bonus arrangement until stable market for all products could be pro yided.
