A ItKTTKK C1TV. The town boosting movement and board of trade organization of 10 to 15 years ago, devoted their principal energy to working; for new manu facturing Industries. The similar movement of today has gone on to a new point of view. The old time board of trade had as its slogan "A bigger and busier city." It tried to secure growth and development, be fore It had proved that the town was worthy of It. The modern or ganization, which in many places ttkes the name of a Chamber of Commerce, adopts as its slogan "A bettor city." It believes that If you make a beter town, growth and de velopment will be almost automatic The modern town boosting move ment is glad to welcome now indus tries, and It does Its best to get them. It sees the most hope In the promising young men of its owik community, who want to start some Industry In a small way, and who if successful will remain 111 the town. Many small concerns thus assisted grow to become great industries. Modern town promotion urges the people to boost the home town, to say a good word for It every chance they get. But If a town has been Islow to take up new ideas, all the boosting they can do won t amount to much. But If a town shows civic f spirit. If it tries to provide the fa ,' cllitles of modern life, you can't stop its growth. Business men who have dealings with the place, travel ing ' salesmen and other visitors, young people who come from there, people who movo away, all spread the news that. It la a hustling place. Newspaper articles describing Its ac . tlvltlea are generally copied. A pro gressive town finds that it has be come widely known In a very snort time. Now that the city Is Inaugurating an "overall club" the fellow who can well afford to buy this brand of clothing will make it hard "pick ing" for the man who, by necessity, cannot afford anything better Ih-.n overalls to carry on his daily toll. There is nothing to prevent the price of the common material going en tirely out of harmony with the purse of the ordinary individual by the demand made by the "new wrinkle" to cut the high cost of living.

Now In regard to broccoli seed. While Dr. Barley has been growing some seed for a number of years, numerous other growers buve bepn doing the same thing although many of them stuck up rather poor ly as publicity agents. 1 am at a loss to understand why the News Review should boost one man's seed to the exclusion of all others unless perchance they have made some pri vate tests at times when newsprint prices were advancing so rapidly as to encourage the ida that broccoli growing might be even more profit able than journalism. The writer has been growing some broccoli seed, very successfully, for several years, and. like every other seed grower, thinks he has the best yet. However, 1 believe your ad vertising columns are really the proper place for such claims, so I shall attempt to tell about my broc coli seed In tht manner. Yours truly, FOSTER 11UTNER. 0 CITY NEWS 0 Is GOD MOHT? ' Is (Jvd Right?" Is the theine thai (nil, be discussed tonight at the I'hrlFtLaa clrurch. This Is a subject In which the evangelist is throwing out a challenge to one who is skepti cal. In unbelief and doubt, who luughs at religion and makes fun of the church. If God is right some one else Is wrong. Here Is a chance rto know whut liod says. Last night another fine meeting was held, at -which time the evangelist discussed The Thief on the Cross," and In the discussion handled some of the most vital questions that are raised today, and the sermon was one of power. At the close of the sermon, when the Invitation was given one more man stepped out to stand for the good cause. The service has not abated In interest. If anything the In terest is becoming deeper rooted. On Thursday afternoon Mrs. CrosB xneuks to women and girls on "The Seven Minds." Thursday night the evangelist speaks kin Noah's Ark, Where Is It?. On Kriday night a special sermon for railroad men, sub loot, "The Two Railways," and a large chart Is used for this. Sun day afternoon the meeting for men only, subject. "The Third Degree Alan." The solos continue to please. A (Thristian singing gospel songs with great power is reaching many hearts with the good gospel solo.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Editor Roseburg News-Review: In last evening's paper you cave some prominent space In settlnc forth certain claims regarding the broccoli Industry. While Hr. Ilallev may have encouraged the growing of broccoli, through various fraternal and commercial bodies. I think we should all remember ami give credit to the man who first discovered that the crop could be grown here Mr. Klljah Winston, deceased. .Mr. Wins ton was one of the pioneer gardners of the I'nipciua valley and I want to say right hero that after twenty years' experience In the vegetnhli business, visiting Important produc ing sections all over the country that he was one of the most expert gardners I ever met. It Is easy enough for us to encourage the growing of a crop on a commercial acale that costs but little, hut the real honor should be given to the man who first conceived the Idea or growing tho crop In this section. I came to Roseburg In 1910 and the following spring was greatly surprised and puzzled to observe my neighbor and competitor going Into market with wagon loads of magnifi cent cauliflower. Mr. Winston was sagacious most pioneers are, so he sold bis broccoli under the name of ' "winter cauliflower" a perfectly correct term, which however, never enlightened other gardners to the extent that they could become com petitors. But It is hard to keep a good thing under cover and lince ii,witi ii,, Mrs. F. L. Sellert, of Perdue, who has been receiving treatment in the Mercv hospital (here, left for her home this morning.
