Scratch Your Headand Wonder That is, if it is not perfectly plain that it is rust and rot that are putting your valuable implements in the serap heap much faster than the use you give them, What's the use? buy a few boards the very next time you come to town, Why not make up your mind to and build sheds for every machine on the place? Decent care for your machines will save you many times the price of new sheds. But whatever it is that you want lumber for, re- member, if you want the best—here’s where to get it.

The Moscow Daily Star Mirror | which last week celebrated its| ninth anniversary as a daily in| commenting upon the event said | as follows: | “The paper has had a hard| strugele but it has overcome} seemingly insurmountable dif- ficulties. People did not believe} that a town as small as Moscow | could support a daily paper, but! the paper has been supported | and has never missed an issue! except on holidays, for the past} nine years. It is in better con- dition today than it has ever | been, owns its own building, is able to buy paper by the carload, | has the largest circulation and best advertisine and_ printing patronage in its history and it| is a permanent fixture for Mos-| cow.” The above is what the paper accomplished for itself.

In our humble opinion the Star-Mirror has placed its little city on the map and any one who has read this university city paper, will bear | us out in the fact, that not an issue appears without boosting the city, university or its mer- chants. While it has been our privilege to pass through this city many times, we never took the time to| | pay it a visit, but the very next} | time we pass that way we are going to stop and at least give | it the once over, even if it re- | puires a little sacrifice and we believe there are others who have passed on by because busi-| | ness or others matters did not require them to stop. This is another result this home paper. No doubt there are many others. The same results above are also accompli hundreds of small dailes and weekly papers throughout the country. The results are in most vases indirect but they always show up on the surface some- where, as 1ed by | Fortunately the campaign ; will be ended in November.

In some of the western states all the expense of holding an election runs up to from $1 to $2 per voter. | Too much legislation results in uncertainty of the citizen as to who can vote and so fewer and fewer go to the polls. Too much legislation is the curse of modern politics and the main cause of high taxes. The people have one remedy— defeat candidates who multiply laws and vote down direct leg- islation bills. | Those people who get in their fuel supply early are the same ones who use a cellar for other | purposes than what is popu- |larly supposed these days. accomplised. by | stated | reasonable, unjustly discriminatory or unduly prejudicial, and the complaint filed by the public service commission of Washington and Oregon in behalf | of the growers and shippers was dis- missed The complainants objected to the | existing rates wherever they exceed | the rates in effect on June 24, 1918 | ‘They based their chief objection on ground that the percentage ad | the yances hurt the shipper far more than their competi tors in the eastern fields closer to the large markets.
