EVERYONE TO HIS TASTE.
A Chicago editor says he would
like to hear a preacher pray in con
versational tones, as if the Lord,
were present in the room and not
a long way off. Yes, and then
some son of a sea cook would com
plain because the preacher was not
in earnest. People are hard to
please. The Methodist used to be
too demonstrative, the Presbyte
rians too formal and cold. Yet
the Methodists and Presbyterians
kept right on attracting people
who liked their style. Most of the
preachers these days are dignified
in the pulpit and they reach only
the people who like that style.
When Billy Sunday comes to town
and makes a great hullabaloo, the
quiet people criticise his words
and methods, but the demonstrative
people hit the trail at the rate of a j

DO YOUR PART.
There is an ordinance and a state
law, that prohibits the practice of
growing a crop of weeds on your :
vacant lot, and on the front and
rear of lots that are not vacant
also.
The council has caused to be pub
lished during the past few weeks
notices to that effect, and weed
notices have been mailed to indi-
viduals and many have complied
with these laws
Others have not.
Some of the largest property
holdings in the city are covered
with a tangled growth of weeds
and the owners are in some in-;
stances at least, ready to criticise j
the council for their shortcomings,
yet will not comply with these re
quests without legal action.
Any town or community is just
what its residents make it. If the
people have a community pride,
and care fdr their own property as
it should be cared for without the
n?cessity of enforcing laws of this
nature, the vown becomes one
where people. like to live and where :
property values are much higher
than other towns.
It is very evident that many of ;
those who own property in Prine
ville are not doing their share.
Think it over, and cut the weeds.
IT PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME.
To demonstrate the advisability
of keeping home money at home,
the Otsego County Advance, Gay-
MIiU nnf o cilvov Hnllar In n
leather case and spent it with a
local merchant. It was requested
that this merchant pay some local
bill with it and the recipient pay
another bill or use it in making
change any way, just so the dollar
was kept at home. A record of its
"wanderings" is being kept and
published weekly in the Advance.
The idea is a good one and the
weekly stories of the work it has
done will be surprising to every
reader. Metropolitan papers have
tried out the plan with success,
and when a dollar can be traced in
a big city, surely it can' be in a
smaller one.
Workmen the north jetty at the
mouth of the Sluslaw hag been com
pleted, and the equipment is being
moved to the south side of the river,
where the contractors, the Miami
Quarry company, are building the
south jetty.
The Fruit Growers Union at
Salom last week held an order for
40 cars of prunes U. be shipped to
a California concern at a good price
and everyone felt that the prune
crop was well disposed of in this
community.
Today the order is cancelled and
unless something develops at once,
there will be an immense loss
among the fruit growers there.
The same condition prevails
throughout the fruit growing sec
tions because or the strike situ-
on.

It has often been said that diver
sified farming is trie only safe
method for the tiller of the soil
and this condition applies to a com
munity as well.
Central Oregon has as many
varied and substantial resources
as any community in the northwest.

It's up to you, residents
