iVf'HWfUpiijpWP iiw . jk THE ONTARIO ARGUS, ONTARIO, ORflQQN, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1921 QJ10 , (Ontario Argus County Official Paper An Independent Newspaper Published Thursday at Ontario, Oregon, and ontorod at tho Ontario post office tor distribution as 2nd class matter. SxjjWwM 0. k. Atkon, Managing Editor 8UDSCKIPTION Ono Year, 2.00 X CHALLHNOK TO ONTAIUO Tho othor day an Ontario business man en ma into tliu Argun offlca and put this poser to us; "Sny," he said. "What will Ontario support:" "It linn not supported tho liana hall team which tins glvon us clean sport this summer. "It lins not In tho past supported n Chautauqua, when ovory town 11 round hero does. "It doos not support tho County Fnlr as It should." "It doos not support patriotic celo liratlons." "What will It support, I would Ilka to know.", v Tho Argus would llko to be nblo to niiHwor that question. It cannot do so now. Certainly thuro Is dlscouragoinont enough to warrant anyono In think ing twlco before promoting any form of public entertainment hare, In tho record of attondanco nt tho Imso bait gnmos. Tho Argus Is not In a posi tion to appraise the situation. It Is hard to botlovo that a com munity such as Ontario which Is 100 ' per cent American, docs not llko tho national pastimo, but that Is appar ently tho caso. It cannot bo said that from religious principles Ontario shun the gamo, for Ontario thurchos are not so crowded each Sunday to Indicate a preponderance of religious sentiment In tho community. It cannot ho said tho tonm has not played reasonably good basoball and furnlshod clean sport for those who jdiould llko that sort of diversion. Tho Argus docs not uiidorstand tho situation, and nolthar do many of the busluoHs men with whom It lias been dlscussod. Wo havo always bollovud that It was tho duty of a communlty as a social scrvlro, io supply clean umuso ment rind "cntdrtnliimuiit, not only for Its own people, but those about it, upon whom It dopunds for exist oncu. This Is tho generally accepted thoory upon which progrosslvo com munition act. It Is luo that many such enter prises do not pay; thoy ought not to bo oxpoctofl to.

Oregon deslro to sorvo glvo their tlmo to the promotion of such enterprises must do so without co-operation tho time will soon come when Ontario will havo no such men to lead. Wo honestly bellove mat thore should bo soon a mooting at which ovory business man in tho commun ity Is present to frankly discuss the situation and sco what, If any public entertainment the city Is willing to unitedly support, and then proceed to-support it properly. TIIK COST ()K MVINCJ In last week's Argus thero ap peared a co-operatlvo advertisement, signed by sovoral morchnnts of .tho city that has caused no end of com ment. Among other things It has provon that advertisements nro read and has nlso proven, to tho writer at least, that there nro twosldes to ovory question; and furthermore that thero Is room for work for those who would bring n closer under standing hotween business men nml their customers. Tho fid. too taught, If somo of tho comments mado to tho writer Indi cate tho sontlmcnt of many, that tho peoplo ara studying merchandising and wutchliiR prices. It taught too that tho working men do not want tholr wages roducod, Just as ono slatomcnt In tho ml. declared would bo tho caso. Whllo many of tho renders who havo commentod on tlio ad. to tho writer havo read and considered most of tho stntomonls mony hnvo apparently missed this one: "After reading the nbovo, most peoplo, would not want prices back to pro-war lovols when wages and othor things hnvo to come down In proportion." That was tho Idea or tho nil.( tho central thought, thnt when prices go down everything olso must go down too. It wns tho Hon that tho pros perity of tho workman, of thr farm er, of tho business man arc Insepar able. To Injure one Is to Injuro all, and that being true, tho morchants asked In that ad. the consideration of thofr problem by tholr customers In tho light of conditions as thoy aro The foibles of mankind aro tho materia! which Uruco Dennis In the LuOninda Obnervor likes to punctur1". What ho has to say about tho folks In his homo county applies every where, even In Mainour county. This Is ono of Hruco's messages In a re cent Issuo. IT IS VOP, AND YOU AI-ONH "Docs any person In Union county expect to got Into heaven on his neighbor's record T Does anyono In this county oxpect to prospor long on borrowed capital which has boon col lected by othor pcoplo's onorgy? If thoy do thoy uro badly mistaken. . "Every tub must stand on Its own bottom and every man must glvo nn accounting for bis own affairs. Your moral llfo Is yours to oltfior squon- dor and frit nway or to mako of you a substantial cltlron. Tho rule of llfu Is to earn all you ran and spend a llttlo less than you earn. When you owe a debt pay It promptly or go to the person whom you owo and ex plain your condition and when you can pay it. "Thore Is no way to shift responsi bility.
