THE ONTARIO ARGUS, ONTARIO, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 7, 1922 ! : v a V ullje ntartn Argus County Official Paper An Independent Newspaper Published Thursdays at Ontario, Oregon, and entered at the Ontario post office for distribution as 2nd class matter. O. K. Atken, Managing Editor SUBSCRIPTION Ono Year, $2.00 play saw: with the future After a man has a competence it is time enough for him to gamble In futures or in crops which pay b'ig Bomo times. This, it appears is the lesson that needs to ho learned In this section of the west. It cannot bo gain said that the west has been built upon promises; that great inducements to big and speedy profits, of big wages and short hours has been tbo luro which brought many of us to this section. Candid men will admit that, for it is true of so many, that it may bo accepted as a generally acknowl edged fact. There has been a sad disillusion ment for some, yet the men who havo had the courage to stick; to play tho game to tho best of their nblllty; have won, and while they nro not as rich as many of them had hoped, they are happy to live In the westj and it is tho raro exception that ever goes "back east" to live. Those who have remained have had to work. Thoy aro the ones who are realizing now that tho satno ele ments which made for prosporlty in their former homes nro hero In moro nbundanco. and given the samo do greo of personal application tho op portunities for success nro greater here. This is especlalloy truo concern ing tho dajry business. It can be mado moro successful hero than in tho middles west or east. Bvory ono of tho oxports In tho rccont dairy party to visit this section agreed upon that. Tho climatic conditions nro hotter horo, tho for- ngo crops necessary can bo produced cheaper, loss oxponsivo barns and equipment aro needed, and tho ani mals themselves produco In more nbundanco duo to tho charactor of forago rnlsod. Dcsido theso advantages It has boon provon that during tho past year tho avorago prlco paid for milk and buttor fat has beort higher horo than In tho mlddlo west. Thus tho nmrkot Is Just as good as olsowhore. Of what othor product that wo raise can such stntomouts bo mado? What thonl aro tho olemouts lack ing to make this one of tho largest as woll as ono of tho most prosper ous of dairy regions? . Wo need first of all dalrymon. We need capital on long terms to permit some of those now here to got into the game. Wo need to further the movemont to educate tho young men and wo men here to tho possibilities of dairying as a lifo work. To supply that first need, more dairymen, steps should bo taken to encourage those of the ranchers hero who are willing to enter the business to do so. But this must not be done blindly. Not everyone can bo successful In dairying any moro than in any other lino of ef fort. One must bo adapted to the business. But there cortalnly Is a percentage of the farmers now here who would succeed and they should be encouraged to start. To supply the second need Is a problem for the hankers, and Is so closely allied to tho first that the two will bo combined In any can palgn for tho advancement of the game among the ranchers hero now. Tho third phase of tho problem Is ono which is most hopeful. While it may tako a fow years to develop dalrymon, tlmo passes quickly, and by aiding in this work in the schools, tho boys and girls clubs, the county Pair and other agencies they will accomplish astonishing things erjD those of us hero now realize it. These should ho given the opportun ity and support of tho business men The boys and girls through thoir testing associations, if given good cows, will soon prove tho val no of dairying as It can bo done In no othor way. They wfll convince their elders. They will be the farm ers In a fow years and they aro the men nnd women whom it will pay to assist in their forward movement. To aid them Is to play safe with tho future. It is the very best means possible to build up on a firm foundation tho business which, If all tho experts aro right, is that which has tho greatest future In this section. Whllo this Is boing done, it need not be the only effort to advance the dairy business. Many other ways will suggest themselves and will have great merit, but this is one suro method which will bring re sults that are cumulativo nnd far reaching.

A wonderful new library Is about being built In rouiicctlou with the Uni versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and when it Is finished It will house the greatest collection of Americana In the woild.

F. Boyer sends the following reply to a recent letter appearing In these celumns: ' "Editor of the Argus, Ontario, Oregon. In your paper of August 24th -was a letter purporting to bo from the Malheur Petroleum associ ation signed by W. F. Homan and others. Now this association did write to mo with regard to letting me have some leases. Let us seb on what terms they offered them: They offered to checker-board the leases 50-50, or in other words I was to take 40 acres and them 4,0. In the name of common sense this was no offer at all. "Sometimes 50-50 is offered in well proven oil fields but never in wild cat fields. Now I had real oil men to deal with and they Just laughed at such an offer, and bo did I. They also said that they did not lease tho land for speculative pur poses, and got sore when I accused them of it. Now let us see If they did or did not. They offered to checker-board 12,000 acres with me, for what, if it was not for spec ulation , Of course their half of proven leases would have been worth many millions. That would not have been holding leases for profit, Just a little loose change for them In their pockets. Now Just as long as we have men who will send such insulting letters as was put in the Argus on "Xugust 24th, by this bunch, there will be no money for development at Ontario. The insult was not flung at me but at big capital, and as I am associated with some of the biggest oil people In tho world and they told me that they did not think it wise to begin a fight. To start -with, capital can't be bluffed and told either to "put up-or shut up," when they are telling the truth. If you will kind ly print this and oblige. A. F..Boy er, 1025 Tenth St.", San Diego, California." Jl Triumph for Value IN the past two months Firestone has built and marketed more tires than in any similar period in its history. This steadily increasing public pref erence is proof of the recognition by car owners of the greater values of fered by Firestone. It is a tribute to Firestone men all stockholders in the company all actuated by the operat ing principle of Most Miles per Dollar. The high average performance of Firestone Cords is without equal in the annals of tire making and is reflected by the general tendency to specify Firestone for hard service. Taxicab and bus lines, buying tires by the mile, whom you know. are universally equipping with Fire stone Cords. There are many reasons for the high quality of Firestone tires but chief among the special manufacturing proc esses are double gum-dipping, thus eliminating internal friction by insulat ing each cord strand, and air-bag cure, insuring a well-balanced and perfectly shaped product Don't speculate in tires you will find the right combination of price and quality in Firestone. Come in and let us tell you about the service these Cords are glviag other car-owners LJFfre$totii GUM-DIPPED CORDS Sold by SERVICE TIRE & BATTER Y CO. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
