CO-OPERATION AND HOME INDUSTRY
This focal pride and love of home and
the home town is one of the strongest of
human feeling when once it is deeply
planted. It should be cultivated in every
possible way. Nothing should be left
undone to stimulate or cement it. Every
member of such a community should
cultivate a spirit of comradeship and
co-operate toadvancethe general welfare
of all. The merchant, the small tradesman,
the country editor, the church, should
be encouraged in every possible way.
The whole community should co-operate
to protect and stimulate the trade of the
town.
The home paper should he liberaly
patronized. There is no one thing during
influences for good than the country
press. One of the most unfortunate of
influences has been the trend of com
mercial evolution that has borne so heav
ily on the country editor by the devol
rnent cf the mcropol'an family monthly
and mail order p.ipjrs. filled w.th tempt
ation for the rual people to strmulatc
tie centralization of wealth and trade
in the cities by supplying their ordinary
needs from far distant and practically
unknown sources. This trend toward
the centra ization of trade and
industry in the great cities walks side by
side with fie centralization of wealth
and population as a menance to our
national future. T'la dancer it threaten
Jean only be cbvated by awaking the
people at lara to a realization of it.

The plague of fleas which is just mak

what we miss by not being located "back

advantage far out number the shortcomings.
Other towns can learn something from
Walla Walla on the question of fire
insurance. When the companies notified
the policy holders of that city of the 25
percent rake off recently put in effect
the Walla Walla Chamber of Commerce
promptly took steps to organize a home
company to combat the arbitrary increase
intended. They contended that the rates
were already high enough, a proposition
that will not be denied by the pers ons
paying them.
