ATTACT OREGON NUTS
Spring is coming. We know it because the boys art
gathering around the marble ring iguin.
A wetfc from tomorrow is sales day at Indepenence and
the event will be a red Juttor day for this city.
There la a reason for everything, but why Independence
has not grown more in the puht is a hard nut to crack.
The world is a teter board and when one mao ie up an
other is down.- That is the way it looks to the under dog.
i
Why not clean up and put all the streets to grade, put
in curbing, and otherwise make Indi pendenco look tn,ore
citified.
With Spring comes the cleanup period. Let everyone
get busy. A yard is worth your labor in the pleasure you
feel in seeing your work well done.
They say fortune just' smile at us sometimes; but
most people we have seen look as if they had been living on
qujnine.and could not force n grin even. '
A poor judge thinks he is a good judge and a good
judgs sometimes goes wrong go that is why the big mail or
dor houses make such a auooess in selling to the trade by mail.

of doing just a little more themselves. --What is the, use?

WHY NOT A BRICK YARD?
Independence made good brick for 'twenty odd years,
all the first bui'dings bui'thcre, beintr, of the Independence
mako, and they were reported first class. Then why should
we send to McMinnville, Nnwberg, Dallas or any other place
Ofor4 brick? There is plenty . f land available , and a good
maiket ooint here for the brick.
The nut industry is ho new

'The Monitor wishes all the county news and is especially
anxious to get correspondents for Oallas, Airlie, Suver an

it in. We appreciate it and the citizens of your community

FARMERS LIKE AUTOMOBILES
Every few weeks a new automobile finds its place on
tho farm where the horse has hetMi king foryear. A num
ber of farmers around Independence have already built
garages to hold their new auto and this method of travel
is proving satisfactory. Seventeen were counted out from
Pall as ss ovvred by fanners north of th.'it city and we think
we could equal the counts around Independence.
THE TARIFF THE GOAT
,,When anything goes wrong it is caused by the tariff.
If times are a little close th.-y tinker with the tariff. If
prices are too high theause is the tariff and if wages are
too low its nil due to the taritT, I u fact if an issue is wanted
there is nothing o tlexible an 1 handy as this self same
tariff, then, too, it makes good reading to tell what will be
d-.ne with the tariff. T our mind why takeoff the tariff
on the raw products where the grower gets the benefit, and
leave it on t lie manufactured article where, the manufacturer
gets tho benefit? If we wish to help the farmer w should
leav the wool, cotton, fruit, vegetable, etc., protected.

Much depends on yur surrounding country as to jour

is good but the farming community is even better. , Atown
surrounded by good farms and wide awke farmers is a

What
YOUR dally problem
of what to eat is
very easily solved
Pass It on to us. It Is not what you eat that has alone to be considered-It
Is the quantity of what you eat. It Is easy to say "Let's
have some specfal dish for dinner," but the mere buying of the
materials for that dish does not make your dinner a success. You
must have the best of everything to get the fnilest enjoyment from
the meal.
Our reputation Is built on selling the best of groceries. We have
studied the "what to eat" problem for our own sake as weU as
youts. Come In and let us talk It over.
