IT SEEMS TO ME By Dewey Tonight, when all of us go to tht' high school to see pictures of the past three Lily Blossom Time parades, and notice the prog ress made by the local people, in attempt to make the world conscious of this community and its products. Progrt ss, in the future, nearly everyone believes, depends upon an organization which will as- $2.50 $3.00 sume leadership and promote it along lines which will gain each year. This organization needs all the individual support that each of us, as citizens, can supply. It means that we should be present I at the high school tonight, by all ; means. show what it can raise. Since I have been in the coun-। ty, I haven't been too proud of our showing at the county fair and for the life of me, 1 fail to see a reason why we shouldn’t be proud to show our wares. The north end of the county hereto fore has taken the lead, and for this reason, if no other, we should get out and show them other communities raise products. In thi community I’ve seen many prize-winning vegetables - cauliflower, cabbage, onions, and no doubt there have been just scads that I never knew' about. Joe Bush, who boasts that this area has no peer, feels ashamed that the little pride is shown. He is not alone. A number of the local people are on the fair board and they are not too proud of the showing of their own com munity. A couple of years ago, the lo- cal chamber of commerce took an active lead, and had a booth which brought remarks from the fair visitors—why can’t this he done again! THE BUST !

In The Mail-box: Editor, Pilot: For a long timej the matter of writing and pub-, lishing an up-to-date reliable and readable history of our tw in coun ties has been a subject of a great deal of talk in our association mee tings well as in other places. But it amounted to little more than talk. However, in the early part of 1918. our association decided to "take a stab in the dark." as one j mt mber expressed it. In spite i of the fact that no funds were I available, the association acted upon that suggestion. The work of collecting and gathering his torical data and material was begun. The work is continuing and is nearing the point where we are beginning to do some of the I actual writing. But there are a good many blank spots t h at need to be filled. We have found our local news- papers very cooperative and so helpful in this work. Just now I have a problem wherein we can be mutually helpful. Your readers are interested in matters of history pertaining to their own home communities.
