Able Teachers
Still Lacking
Says Churchill

Unemployment has had no visi-
bic effect upon the teacher sup
ply in Oregon, according to ]. A.
Churchill, state superintendent of
schools who declares that com
petent instructors are just as
scarce now as they were a year
ago.
There are any number OF mex
perienced candidates for teaching
positions Churchill admits, but in
sits that there are more openings
for competent, experienced teach
ers than there are applicants
qualified to fill such positions.
Oregon schools weathered the
teacher shortage the past year in
good shape although II was neces-
cary for some districts to consolid-
ate and for others to suspend
temporarily because OF inability
TO secure teachers, sending their
pupils to schools in other districts.
Teachers salaries will remain
much as they were for the past
year, Churchill states. In a few
instances. especially among the
smaller schools, salaries are being
slightly trimmed but this is being
more than offset by increases Of
fered by schools which are seek
ing the better qualified teachers.

Smokers

UseCare
City Fire Chief Asks
Help In Lessening
Hazard Here; Stamp
Out Stubs, Is Plea

Smokers and users Of matches
caused destruction by fire of more
than sol, 100000 worth of prop
erty in the United States during
the five years, 1915-1919 inclusive
according to Fire Chief Buck
Hutton, OF Salem, who this after
noon made a plea for greater care
in the disposition of lighted match
es, cigarettes and cigars.
I'VE are not criticising the
habit OF smoking" Chief Hutton
explained. Il, myself. smoke. But
we do censure the careless persons
who thoughtlessly cast away tight
ed matches, cigar and cigarette
stubs into waste baskets, rubbish
piles or other places where COM
bustible material is present"
Fires Are Many
Considering that the American
public consumes about 1921, ,000,-
900 cigars, more than 42,456, ,O00,-
900 cigarettes yearly and more
than 100000, 900 matches daily, it
is not surprising Chief Hutton
believes, that there are SO many
fires resulting from this hazard.
There have been numerous
cases where loss of life has result
ed from carelessness in disposing
of smokes" the chief said. I'm
one New York shirt waist factory
an operative threy lighted cigar
ette stub into cotton scraps on
the floor and, as a result OF his
carelessness 145 girls lost their
lives in the fire and panic that fol-
lowed.
Public Is Careless
1T is undoubtedly a fact that
the American public is careless
and in the habit of taking a
chance That is the reason we
have such heavy fire losses as com
pared with European countries"
The time to fight a fire, CHIEF
Hutton points out, is before II
occurs. II am asking the employ
ers Of the city to enforce their
No Smoking rules" he said, and
am requesting them to be more
careful themselves. The way to
reduce the number of fires due to
the use of matches and smoking
materials is to make sure that
neither lighted matches nor tobac-
co embers are ever disposed OF in
unsafe places. Break your match |
sticks In half after using them and /
stamp upon your cigar and cigar
ette stubs II you are outdoors"
Protection Here Poor.
Salem, Chief Hutton points out,
is at present inadequately protec
ted by fire fighting apparatus,
and his contentious were recently
borne out by a report from the
state fire marshals department
which urged the city to buy new
install fire boxes and
pass ordinances to insure the
city's protection.

JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY

TO flow In, quite independently OF tho
staple crops. The. South Dakota bull
letin. describes the operations of one
large farm which sells 30 per- cent OF
all It's produce by mail through advcr-
tising direct To the consumer This
form, for example. sold 400 bushels of
alfalfa seed at n net profit of 5000,
through a ten-word want-ad, the cost
of advertising being $3.50. Such farm
ers are not among the bnnlSrupta.
Despite such snccesses. and despite
the fact that almost every farm product
has been sold through advertising and
by pai, the proportion of farmers who
make any use Of advertising remains
small. This no doubt is because they
are not accustomed to IL. have never
considered the possibilities of the thing.
The South Dakota bulletin describes
at some length tho composition Of adj
vertiaements, but the farmer who wants
to insert an al in the nearest local
paper will usually find the men In the

The possibilities and methods of farm
advertising are ably discussed in a
booklet on the subject which has been
published by the South Dakota state
Agricultural College I'm collaboration
with the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This publication especially
emphasizes the opportunities OF selling
through advertising special product such
as seed and breeding stock. and es-
peclally the enormous opportunity OF
appealing directly to the consumer
through the want-ad columns OF the
daily papers.
Subscribers rend the want-ads. this
bulletin says. "in fact many OF them
read the advertisements first.

continuously in ahy strong daily paper
reveals the fact that farmers arc IN
