A GOOD SPIRIT.
Some of the very best citizens of
a community are its ministers.
Rev. VV. L. Van Nuys, in support of
his own direct work and in a spirit
of assisting in community better
ment in even a broader sense, cir
culated a number of circulars last
Saturday evening which read as
follows:
"The day has come when every
citizen of Prineville and Crook
county should be a Booster. We
can see that all of our industries
and resources are capable of splen
did development. It is a time fori
constructive . work work big
enough and sure enough of result
to arouse the interest, stir the en
thusiasm, and compel the coopera
tion everybody.
In this development, the work of
the church is a necessary factor.
Jesus said of His Disciples, "Ye are
the Salt of thejEarth." We cannot
safely build community institutions
today without the purifying and
saving influence of "eligion. But
is it fair to leave to others the
keeping up of this moral insurance
on the institutions you enjoy? No
institution in this community is en
titled to a larger cooperation and
will more richly repay for work
than the church.
"Begin TOMORROW by giving
it your manifest and cheerful co
operation and help.
"Let's Boost for the Best
things."
THOMPSON OUT AGAIN.
The latest political announce
ment is that of J. Alton Thompson,

Mr. Thompscn was a candidate
on the republican ticket in the pri
mary race for this office, and it

margin.
In entering the race as an in
dependent candidate, Mr. Thompson
does so saying that this action is
being taken after repeated urging
from representative men from all
parts of the county and that he is
confident of victory this time.
