Cnttacr tôrovf >rntittd OUR DEMOCRACY TODAY Lota of people say they never united with any church be cause there are too many hypocrites in the church, but there has never been a case on record where such attitude enabled the per son who reasoned thus to enter a better world. Pact is this method of reasoning will probably permit you to keep company with the hypocrites throughout eternity by going to hell with them. Also there are business men in every town who won’t have anything to do with the Chamber of Commerce because they don’t like the officers of the Chamber of Commerce or what the Chamber of Commerce does and apparently the number is plenti ful here. Just who is the Chamber of Commerce to be and will it help the community if you refuse to cooperate with a commun ity organisation of this kind! The point we are getting at is that the holiday season is upon us. We can create a holiday spirit here and keep a lot more business here by helping to make the proper holiday setting. And we can do this by decorating our places of business and our homes and helping the Chamber o f Commerce decorate the prin cipal thoroughfares of the town. If Christmas decorations bring business to other localities it should help here. Now is the time to plan to get your share of the Christmas business. After holiday complaints about business going out of town does not ring the cash register nor add anything to the holiday spirit the public has a right to expect during the next four or five weeks. BUSINESS GOES ALONG. While the defense drive goes right along, biggest post-elec tion business news is the three-point governmental financial pro- , gram disclosed by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau. It involves: raising the “ ceiling” on the national debt from $45,- 000,000,000 to $60- or $65,000,000,000; removing the tax-exempt feature on future issues of government securities (and possibly municipal bonds as w ell); and expectation of new and higher taxes. All this stirred, for the umpteenth time in recent years, talk of inflation. In turn, that produced a flurry of stock price rises, of from one to eight points, and of heavy buying of com modities. While that might seem paradoxical to some, i t ’s logical, because inflation merely means that a given dollar won’t buy as much—of anything—as it did before the inflation occurred. So the buying rush was merely to buy now while one can get more for his money. It applies the same to stocks and securities as to commodities, or an automobile, or a piece of furniture.

It’s a pudding—even easier than that. It’s a simple proposition That requires no erudition, And experience, isn’t worth a rap. So trot out the clerks and brokers, Bring the engineer and stokers; Bring the politicians loafing on the street. Bring the liveryman and plumber, Bring the doctor and the drummer, And w e’ll have ’em tell us how to run this sheet. Won’t it be a great convention; ’Twill attract world-wide atten tion. What suggestions. What moni tions. What decrees. But—for fear there’ll be confusion, Let us mention in conclusion, That we’ll run the thing exactly as we please.(Swiped) • - - I - . . - Gat Gas All Time M aj. Gen. Kenyon A.

HOW NOT TO ENTER THE PEARLY OATES. In considering the possibilities of Cottage Grove, a press re lease front the United States travel bureau, department of in terior is worthy of consideration by the Chamber of Commerce, or perhaps the Junior Chamber of Commerce might be the logi cal organization to refer this to There is a little town over in New Mexico, know’n as Madrid, twenty miles south of Santa Fe, the state capital, that annually attracts 60.000 visitors at Christ mas time. This little mining town in the mountains has capitaliz ed on the Christmas spirit, the project is financed entirely by 400 employes of a coal company. This year as in the past, the little town will be ablaze with Christmas lighting from Decem ber 10th to January 2nd. The governor of the state will again throw the switch that will light avenues of festooned arches, miles of living Christmas trees and gigantic candles. More than 40,000 electric lights are required for the display. Cottage Grove could not do this of course, is what you will hear the first time this is mentioned. But Cottage Grove has better possibilities than Madrid so far as the natural setting is concerned. Naturally we would not expect to start off with 40,- 000 lights, but there has to be a beginning and a small start has been made in this direction. This would be a good project for the junior organization to display some pep and get-up on.

Oscar Lee of Silverton Is president of the group and Robert Rieder, act ing county agent from Marion county, is secretary. This grass was introduced some years ago by the Oregon experi ment station under the name of tall fescue, but this name has not yet been recognized by the United States department of agriculture for use in interstate commerce. The new organization will attempt to get the name officially estab lished and will also distribute seed to experiment s t a t i o n s throughout the United States for trial under various conditions. This grass has proved to be un usually well suited to some of the rather heavy wet soils for pasture purposes, and is also doing well as either a summer or winter pas ture on some of the hill lands. It has a remarkably large root sys tem which extends deep into sub soils, which accounts for Its re maining green late In the summer.
