THAT CANNERY AGAIN
Wild Bill Donovan, the able law­
yer. who turned out to be a whiz-
bang soldier, a lighting fool and a
medal of honor man in the World
war, is advocating something new
in raising armies.
He wants us to stop sending our
kids first to war. He says that the
only excuse for it was that they
have greater endurance in a sudden
spurt of sp eed though not In long -
steady pulls? Since soldiers are.

How About a Cannery?
To Whom It May Concern:
Sometime ago a business man
in Cottage Grove asked me why
so many farmers in this vicinity
had to work out to make a living,
and I told him it was because we
didn’t have a cannery in Cottage
Grove. He seemed interested so I
ask him to see what he could do
to help us get one. but he tells
me now that he can’t do anything
that everyone he’s talked to (he
was quite sure it would do no good
to go to the chamber of commerce
so he didn’t), said we could take
our produce to Springfield. I won-
der if those people took into con-
sidération the long haul we would
have to make. AI1 the way from
a 40 mile to a 60 mile trip, and
how much profit would we make?
It just isn’t feasible.
Now I’d like to know what’s the
matter with our Chamber of
Commerce? It seems they won’t
do anything to get any kind of in-
dustry in Cottage Grove. Some of
the business men in Cottage Grove
tell me they won’t get mixed up
with them. Others say, “some of
the members of the Chamber of
Commerce are half dead.” Alto-
gether it would seem they don’t
have a very good recommendation
around town. I always thought
they were supposed to be a pro-
gressive organization, and work
for the good of the people. Every
other town around here is pro-
gressing m o r e than Cottage
Grove, and why is that ?
It’s true that we are not fixed
to raise produce for the cannery
now, for what would be the use of
going to so much expense? But if
we had a guarantee of a cannery
coming in, the majority of farm-
ers would borrow money, if neces-
sary, to put in irrigation, as it
seem s' everything has to be irri^
gated.
A cannery would not only help
the farmers but it would give
work to a good many people in
Cottage Grove, especially the high
school students, who do need
work in the summer so badly. It
would also help the different busi-
nesses in Cottage Grove, for it
would put more money in circula-
Uon.
The editor of this paper has
been kind enough to help us by
printing my letter, and I thank
him most sincerely, also he w ill
print any of your letters about
the cannery problem. So let’s hear
from one and all. and how about
the Grange helping out? Also the
different organizations in Cottage
Grove and ladies clubs in the
country. Thank you.
MRS. ROY KENNEDY.

OVERHEATED ENGINES
------------
If the car engine begins to over-
heat, look for a low water supply
in the radiator, a low oil supply,
or a slipping or broken fan belt,
suggests the service department
of the Oregon State Motor asso-
ciation. These are the most com-
mon causes of overheating.
