WATER SUPPLY VITAL.

getting out of the way at 15 miles,

accidents than to create a hazard.
A speed limit of five miles would
be likely to cause many minor acci

is not so much a matter of speed us

MAKING OUR OWN MARKET.
Never was there a better illustra
tion of the truth of the oft-repeated
statement that it pays to trade at
home than was contained in an ad
vertisement which ran in several
recent issues of The Sentinel.
This advertiser’s product is made
from the product of the farm and
the advertiser stated that so long
as he is able to dispose of the
finished product locally he will be
able to pay Portland prices to the
producers for the raw product.
The farmer who raises the raw
product gets the benefit of the sav
ing of the cost of shipping his
product to Portland. The consumer,
by using a home product, saves the
freight to Cottage Grove from some
outside point.
That is not only an object lesson
to the farmer. It is equally an ob
ject lesson to so many others who
think that a few dollars sent away
make no difference in local condi
tions.
