A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

Would you invest $40 in PROPOSE

investment? Sure you would!
Well. you will soon be given
chance 10 invest one dollar that will
bring you greater returns than thai.
How? Why easy, listen ...t
The school board Is building play
room, gymnasium and auditorium at
the Grammar School building. The
board has gone the limit in putting up
the building, in fact large part Of
the work on the building has been do
mated, and the Pacific Spruce Co. has
kindly donated rings and swings for
the partial equipment of the building.
The board cannot afford to equip the
building, nor build the necessary stage
at the end of the building. 1t has
been figured that it will take $125 to
buy lumber for the stage, and equip
ment for the building Labor for builo-
ing the stage has kindly been donated
but the $125 for the materials must
be raised.
A committee has been appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce to raise
this money. At meeting Of this COM
mittee it was decided to issue and
sell stock in the Toledo School Aud
itorium," the stock will be priced at
one dollar per share. will be non as
sessable, and each family in the dis
trict will be asked to purchase one
share.
1t has been figured, by experts, that
the dollar so invested will be returned
to the parents Of children attending
school many Tunes over in the saving
OF clothing and shoes, by reason of
having a dry clean place for the chill
dren to play in, and by having a place
for amateur theatricals, etc.
Remember this is not a donation,
but an investment.
Please have your dollar ready when
the stock salesman calls.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
CAPTURES MOONSHINE

Last Saturday morning prosecuting
attorney McCluskey saw Leo Shermer
going up the street with a box marked
"Crisco" under his arm. Suspicioning
that the innocent looking box was not
what 1t seemed, Mr. McCluskey
struck out on the trail Of Mr.. SheE
mer, who went up the street and into
the hardware. When Mr.. McCluskey
entered Mr.. Shermer was busy max
ing a purchase, and the box was sett-
ing on the floor Mr.. McCluskey
walked up to him and asked, what
have you in the box, Leo?" To which
Mr. Shermer replied, at isn't my
box" ... 80
Mr.. McCluskey then proceeded to
open the box, and inside he found a
gallon Of moonshine, which he took
up and turned over to the sheriff, and
also coused a warrant to be issued for
Shermers arrest.
In Justice Court Monday Mr.. Sher-
mer plead guilty to the charge of hay
ing liquor in his possession, and JUS
tice Parrish fined him in the sum of
$3.50 AS yet he has not paid the fine
and is confined in the county jail.
Deputy sheriff McBlwain went down
to Shermer's cabin, near Winant,
and made search for the still, but
could not find 1t, although he did find
some more moonshine.

SILETZ

Siletn had planned to celebrate Arm.
istice Day and had arranged a very
excellent program but as some parties
desired to attend the dance given by
the American Legion at Toledo, the
Siletz celebration was called off as a
consequence and a. number Of bur
citizens attended the big ball given
at Toledo. This no doubt will be re-
ciprocated when Siletz gives some
entertainment in the future. 1t was
understood that hush would fall
upon every community at noon in
memory Of the soldier dead who fell
on Flanders field in the cause of
human liberty. Sletz did not observe
that request although two Of our SOL
dier boys made the supreme sacrifice
Andrew and Paul Washington.
Armstice day will be great day in
the history OF the World to the end Of
time. 1t is to be hoped t.al the ~''.t
council now sitting at Washington will
agree to disarm the nations SO the
people will learn war no more fore
ever. We should keep fresh in our
memory the boys who never came
back We saw them start to the
fields OF battle; we saw the mother
bid her boy goodbye; we saw the
kiss and long embrace as she gave
up her boy, perhaps never to see him
again; we saw the boy restrain his
tears lest he give his mother more
pain we saw the lovers as they
separated, pledging eternal fidelity;
we saw them with the last lingering
kiss as the train pulled out. She
threw kiss as he passed from view
in the distance, maybe for the last
time. The stores were closed from
10 a. m. to p. m. The big flags
were flung to the breeze from me
Agency buildings and from many
private homes recognizition of The
great day.
Moonshine is now less in evidence
than it has been for long time. We
have but a small bunch that drink
moonshine. The most of our people
are law abiding. They believe in law
and order. Everyone knows that the
state was voted bone-dry by large
majority. The person who hides
away in some dark canyon to make
moonshine knows he is violating the
law. He knows that any moonshine
that he makes that contains an intox-
icant Is a violation of the law and and
that is the reason he hides away in
the mountains so as not to be seen.
He is ashamed of his business. He
sits ON his launches like a coyote on
some prominent point to see who is
coming and if it is not the right per-
son everything goes under cover and
It is as quiet as a May morning till the
person goes away and the coast Is
clear. But this is not the worst Of
1t. This moonshine stuff makes peo-
pie crazy and that is one reason we
have so many fatalities with autos.
Persons who are under the influence
of moonshine are not fit to drive a
car or go into society.
Mr.. Richman, who bought the fine
farm Of Charley Anderson two miles
northeast of Siletz, has moved his
family in and will go into the dairy
business.

Would II be to the interest of either
the manufacturer or the buyer II all
the sales of the new automobiles of
the year were forced, let us say, into
the month Of April?
Manufacturers would object upon
the ground that any such wholesale
dumping of a years supply within so
short n period as thirty days would
break the market" and they would
be right.
The farmer enters the same objec-
ton when his right Is questioned to
decline to part company with his crop
the moment IL Is harvested. He pre-
fers to do il under ordinary condi-
lions, but II his right to hold a crop
thirty, sixty or ninety days is ques-
toned he will argue the point with
anybody.
He will affirm that any interest
which is able TO adjust its production
accurately to the demands of consump-
ton will do il that way and should do
II ms a matter of business sense; but
that when a commodity cannot be so
adjusted but must be produced as a
single output, that fact does not force
the producer to part with his goods at
once upon terms offered by a glutted
market.
In any case the world must furnish
funds for holding in somebody's hands
the food supplies that are produced in
enormous but irregular quantities and
for doing them out in a steady stream
to the consumer. Whoever takes the
risk and enjoys the profits in this en-
terprise will of course be called a
SPECTATOR. Somebody must hold these
supplies through six, eight or even ten
months of dead time" until the next
J crop is harvested, and the farmer
claims the same right as anybody else

to judge when the market is sufficient
ly favorable to invite sales.
And so we are sympathetic with the
farmer in his determination to invent
machinery by which there can be an
asking price as we'll as an offering
price, and this upon the ancient prin-
ciple that 1t takes two to make a bar
gain.
1t is this right and opportunity real
ly to strike a bargain that the farmer
Is endeavoring to establish. He under
stands that though the management of
a single farm is small business, the
whole question OF agriculture is big
business; and in order that farmers
may operate in the larger field of mar
keting they must effect organizations
which can deal on even terms with
other forms of big business. 1t is no
advantage trat the thoughtful farm
ers are seeking but rather a means
and a basis of doing business.-The
