A Commercial Club's Duty
' Tyo many towns have clicks tfl 1h fostered and gent-rl
complaints to make md eonH'uently get no wlicn- with
their commercial clubn. Thre is only one method to
make a club a hucchhh and tliHt h work together on the
policy that the common welfare will he of benefit to each in
dividual. C immunity development can best lie subserved
by united action... Rivalry in business should atop when
the stores clone their doors at night am the whole family
should work in unison. Independence has the opportuni
ty now to to he a big city, one of the largMt in the wnole
Willamette valley and petty jealouwics, littledifferet.ee,
trivlal quarrels should not be made monuiHiu vm and
thus keep back development. VVe must give and lake in
this world to get along and we must g"t together to-g t re
sults. ' A commercial club to succeed must have successful
meetings, , must accomplish something when they meet,
mustbaye some plans mapped out, some methods to
persue, some work to do.
Too-many people think the monthly donation in all
that U required and that if they come through with their
hare of contributions when called on they have done no
bly well. Here is where community building falls down
and falls hard. It is not the hhekkels that you donate
that builds a town. , It id the constant, everyday, untir
ing, boosting that helps the town to grow. If you plant
your potatoes? give them one good hoeing and go off and
leave them, the weeds will take them again. If you should
plant your hops and put twine down beside them they
wont grow along the twine unless one of rJnd' smiracles
should happen. u So it is with community development,
ycu must work consistatuly and steadily and honestly and
continually for your home community.
Thia 'Jommercial Club should organize thoroughly
and have committees working. A business men's organi
sation 'should be effected inside ol the club, to stop graft
subscriptions and have everything go through the club
. where, jhe oommon welfare is concerned. Let us meet and
do things.
SOME COOKING

The Following Have Been

Build Up An Industry Around This Town
People say '.'We connot, raise sn ail fruit because we
can not market them. We are unsuccessful in getting top
prices from our apples; cherries go begging and prune
sell slow." This is a true statement to a certain extent.
You havn't used any system in your planting. You have
not planned to furnish a market. A rag dealer handle
rags ;d .makes money from them: Why? Because he
hasftiiuaiket . A scrap iron man gathers tcrap iron fiom
very place and sells it and makes money, lie has stud
ied the market and knows how. The successful grower of
fruit must have a .market, and that should be riirlit. at
home.,v jl'ayette, Heod Kivir, Wenatchee, and many Cali
fornia points have a reputation for fruit raiding and their
market, is right, at , home. They raise in-quantities and
ship by car lots and train loads, independence could do
the same. To do this, there nm.si he a eoopt iat ion be
tween the people who raise I tie products. Let leu men
sociate themselves into a group, select some desirable fruit
erops and plant enouiih of that class of product to justify
shipping when the same is matured and this town ,v II
have h .name as great by iva-on of its fruit indusiiy as it
has by. reason of its hop industry. John 15 Stump, itiddeil
Uros., and Tom lhunk pioiuert'd the pine luvd stock in
