WRITES FROM FRANCE
Brogan Boy Enjoys Trip Across
French People Are Pleasant
Albert Horn writes to sister Mar
garet and his mother, Mrs. G. Horn
of Brogan about hi3 experience in the
European war zone.
Somewhere in France, March 6,
1018. Dear Sis:
Received the letter you sent to
Hempstead here in France we have
good mail service here. I have also
heard from Lu he is still in Canada,
he says, he made good up there.
France is sure a nice country, we
have been over quite a little of it and
I sure like it. We have very nice
weather here now, just like spring.
They raise lots of grapes around here
and wine is very cheap. The costumes
of the people are very odd, some still
wear those wooden shoes called sea-
boots. In the last place we were at
there was an old Cathedral about six
hundred years old and it sure is a
largo one. Napoleon was held n
prisoner there once. Theyuse one
horse carts and oxens to plow with.
They have very good roads here.
We have taken several hikes out in
the country and 1 have sure enjoyed
them.
I am glad you liked those pictures.
I sure was thin then alright but have
gained about fifteen pounds since
we left Omaha. I don't have a chance
to go to any more dances, I guess
that is the reason.
I also received a letter from Harry
Lang from Woodhaven N. Y., but I
got it here in France so it didn't do
me any good you see, we only stayed
in Hempstead about ten days. I sure
would have visited them had I known
it while I was there as it's only a
short distance from there.
Your loving brother,
ALBERT.
Somewhere in France. Dear Folks:
I have arrived here in good healthly
condition, and had a very pleasant
trip. We also had very nice weather
after wo were out on the ocean it was
not cold as it was in the states. We
traveled through England and the
scenery suro is great. The roads are
all paved with concrete. The .grass
was green and the trees were budding.
Here in France it is still warper than
in England, the country is ajso very
beautiful. The houses here aVe much
older and more decayed. They have
lots of stone walls around small plots
of ground, something like five or ten
acres. There are no large farms here
at all.
The people here are very nice, more
so than the English but we cannot
converse much as our French is limit
ed. I went out to walk in the country
and sure enjoyed it. The farmers
hero still plow walking plows and
have a team of oxens or cows hitched
to the plow. They have many one
horse "carts. What horses they do
have here are good sized. We have
French kids 'around the camp especial
ly during meal time and they sure
arc well pleased when we give thero
something to cat.
$ Your loving son,
ALBERT.

MANUFACTURING
OREGON'S NEED
Louis J. Simpson Favors De
velopment of Our Homo
Industries.
PROFITS SHOULD
REMAIN AT HOME
Raw Materials Should Be Transformed
Into Finished Articles Where
They Are Produced.
Oreton need never havo fear 'about
ihn future If Its Deoplo will but makr
known its possibilities of giving to the
world something better for less money
than can other portions of the globe.
L. J. Simpson, an authority on conv
miinitv dcvclonmcnt, In a recent tall'
made before the people of Washington
County, on the occasion of the openlnf.
of the Pacific Coast Starch Company'f
plant at Beaverton, showed how lack
of proper exploitation has failed to
eIvg the nubile tho proper appreciation
of goods that are made right here ot
home.
For example: Miles and miles oi
streets In Boston, London, Paris auo"
Tterlln are naved with wooden blocks,
and only a few years ago Boston tool)
out moro than 100 miles of Belgian
block pavement and replaced It with
wooden blocks.
Yet in cities of the Northwest thort
1b today little or no wooden block pave
ment.
Recently the fact was brought ou'
that a company, whoso advertlsementt
are seen In every national magazlm
and whose business In ready-madf
houses runs into millions, gets mucr
of its lumber from our Oregon forests.
Mr. blmpson said:
"Thero Is no reason In the world
why people outside of Oregon should
make the greatest profit on the things
which wo produco and until the flrnt
and last profit on our gooJs- stays
within our boundaries we have not
dono ourselves and our Btate Justice.
"It Is these things which we must
face and act upon now. They are mat
ters that certainly will not improve
with age.
"There are a thousand and one
things made from the products of Ore
gon on which the manufacturing profit
is reaped at places miles and miles
away.
"When I speak of these things, I am
not dealing In generalities. Some will
naturally ask, 'Well, what Ib to be
done?'
"On that, I want to tell you of tho
Bltuatlon at Coos Bay. Thai, Inciden
tally, Is a great community. It's great
because every man there has a chance
and because pcoplo there have come to
realize that what Is good for the com
munity is also the best thing for them.
"In that comparatively small part of
Oregon there are more representative
fncturlne nlanta than In any
other similarly populated part of Ore
gon, with the exception, of courso, ot
Portland.
"Of course, some of tho products ot
tho region are still shipped away In
crude form, but on the other hand
there is much manufacturing In tho
Coos Bay cities and the profit stays
there.
"For example, timber when It leaves
Coos Bay Is almost In Its final form.
No logs are shipped from there.
"The box factories are busy. Then,
there are a dozen other plants which
do the work right down to tho last
bit of finishing on novelty goods made
from tho myrtle and other fancy woods
of the Coos Bay region."
Mr. SimDson encourages and 1b a
bcllover In co-operative community de
velopment, of communities rostering
new plants and Industries. He com
mended the people of Washington
County on their Interest in the new
starch plant.
"When the people of Oregon get Into
the habit of keeping their raw ma
terials hero 'until they are manufac
tured, then, and not till then, will the
state bo on -a baslB of permanent pros
perlty," he concluded.

I Conserve the Wool Supply
T F you want to help your country and at the same time
-" help yourself, conserve the wool supply. Go to your
wardrobe, get that old suit which needs to be cleaned and pressed
and possibly repaired, send it down and have it worked into a'
respectable suit. '
There is no doubt but what there are a number of meri
here in Viale who have two or more old suits which they think
are not worth fixing, but especially at this time when new
clothes arc sky high it will pay you well to have this work done.
By cleaning and pressing and perhaps n couple of hours re
pair work, it will increase the life of your suit and at the same
time look much better.

Claiming that what Oregon needed
was a little moro faith on the part of
the Individual, L. J. Simpson recently
pointed out how an effective, progres
sive state administration could help
Instill this feeling In private enter
prise. "Oregon today needs more of the
faith that will cause men to invest
their money in some enterprise which
will develop an industry which should
logically be Oregon's," said Mr. Simp
