CITY CAMPING CKOVNIW
Purlng the past few days the Mist
has heard considerable discussion as
to the city having a free camping
ground to accommodate the tourists
who pass or will pass through th
city, and it understands that a num
ber of people suggest that such camp
ing site be located near Railroad Ad
dition and on the .nain highway,
where it would be convenient for the
tired motorist The Mist henrt11
approves of the Idea, if a desirable
location can be obtained. So far as
St. Helens is concerned, it makes no
difference in what part of the city
a camping ground is selected. Every
lot In St. Helens Is a part of St. Hel
ens and it is all St. Helens. There
are no division lines between sections
unless such lines enist in imagina
tion. It will be only a few months and
the highway will be completed.
Thousands of tourists will pass
through the city, some bound for the
seaside and others for Washington
and British Columbia points. If they
want to stop in St. Helens and rest,
let us provide a place for them and
welcome them. The little city park
we have is not suitable or large
enough, and besides, we should beau
tify the park and use it for ourselves
and children for pleasure and recrea
tion. If we are to have camping grounds,
let's have camping grounds for vis
itors A few weeks ago, tne editor of the
Mist was in The Dalles and talking
to a bank cashier. He pointed out
of the window to the steady stream of
automobiles. Some of them bore Ore
gon license numbers, but a majority
of them had license mub from Wash,
ington, Idaho, Montana, California
and other western states. A few of
them were from New York, Nebraska
and one little creaky Ford had come
all the way from Texas. Other states
were represented. 1 he cashier said,
"That is going to be our largest crop.
Very few of these autoists pass
through The Dalles without stopping
to leave money for provisions, re
pairs or something that Is needed."
The tourist dollar Is a "cheerful dol
lar" and the tourist hands out such
a dollar In a cheerful manner, when
there is something to exchange for
the dollar.
St. Helens cannot afford to be be
hind other little cities. The Mist

And most of us believed it. Even
now many of us drive automobiles

safety.

PROTECT FROM FIRE LOSS
It is the time of year for -camping
and for dry forests Likewise
it is a time of year for exceeding
care as to forest fls. The forests
of Columbia are a considerable por
tion of the county's wealth. The
timber industry gives employment to
thousands of men and the destruc
tion 6f forests by fires destroys tax
able property and throws men out
of employment.

Increased use of butter substitutes

uniform good flavor, unci to lark or
this quality in butter, says V. I
'.'happen, manager of the O. A. C.
reumery. tn a letter to cronnierynien
of Oregon.
'Creninfrymen do not realize the
seriousness of tho proposition con
fronting them," Professor Chappt'll
declares. "Quality, regnrdloss of
cost, Is the deriding factor these
days, especially the lust nino months.
If you expect to keep your noso uliovo
water' In the butter gamo you will
have to get down to business ana
make better butter by using uniform
met hods."
A card hns been sent to tho cream
erymon ot the stute, with a request
that it be filled out and returned.
The card culls for information on
acidity of creum. temperature at
churning, churning time, toniperature
of wash water, numbor of revolu
tions butter is worked in water, per
cent of moisture and suit, and some
other vital factors.
All Information called for can he
found In rightly kept churn records,

STERILITY IN CATTLE
It Is pitiful to Bee the ninny fine,
productive cows being driven to the
slaughter house day after day as thu
result of sterility or barrenness. A
milch cow is of valuo only ;is long as
she will continue to breed.
This condition Is largely prevent
able. It Is to a great extent the re
sult of Infection. It is not the pur
pose of this article to go into the var
ous specific Infections or other causes
of sterility or into a detailed oxplana-
tion of the anatomy of the parts con
corned. This is simply a ploa for
cleanliness and the saving of vain-
able cows that are being needlessly;
sacrificed. i

ABOUT COFFEE PRICL
A salesman for a coffee house told us a fewdiyj
that the reason coffee had advanced in price wa
account of the cost of the tin can. The average pm
of the tin cohee can ts 8 cents. Then comes thepid
ng, labeling, etc., etc., so you can sec that your
paying from 12 to IS cents per pound on coffee for
tin can and the fancy work and you don't use either
You will get just as good coffee when you buy cm

per pound or more. If coffee is what you want buy
coffee, you do not need the can and you pay for it
Our advice is buy bulk roasted coffee. Try the pin
for one time, and we believe you will follow our
advice.
