Old Remedies Still Hold Good
(A Worthwhile Editorial Selected by the National Editorial Association)
In the stress of these depressed times many folks
have almost lost their heads in seeking some method
by which we can come back out on the plane of nor
mal times. Freak methods, isms, panaceas, legisla
tion and all that sort of thing a?e just so much de
lay in the path of prosperity. The old remedies still
hold good and it is not by hitting on something new
but by getting back to the old. the sound and funda
mental principles upon which America was founded,
that we are going to work out our future.
Hard work, sacrifice, honesty, privation, saving,
management and the principles of the Christian re
ligion are the rules for success which our forefathers
used to conquer a wilderness and lay the foundation
for the greatest nation in the world today. Prosperity
brought with it the dreams of short cuts to fame
and fortune. America chased he bubble until it burst
and now most of us are sitting down trying to think
of some short cut or scheme to get back in prosperi
ty’s road again. We need rather to get back sound
common sense.
The world has changed but the principles upon
which civilization was founded have not changed.
The unequalities under which we are now chafing
are the result of our disobeying the fundamental
principles listed above. Instead of further fooling
ourselves by following some of the many who are
proposing unsound ideas about the return of pros
perity, let’s get back to the old remedies. They will
still hold good, if we but apply them.—News, Lenoir
City, Tennessee.
Safety First
Number of serious accidents occurring on the
highways make it imperative that every possible pre
caution be taken to prevent loss of life and injuries.
Five cars were smashed up within a week’s time
near Earl Hobbs place on the highway west of Hills
boro, all because the cars were too close together.
The Tualatin valley highway is too narrow for safe
driving and since the non-skid surface has been laid,
it is almost impossible to tell where the pavement
and the gravel shoulder join. It would seem ex
pedient to have a white line painted down the cen
ter of the pavement as a safety measure in order
that automobile drivers at night might have a bet
ter knowledge of the road.
The terrible accident of last Friday night is just
an example of the ever present danger of motoring.
Drivers should have some thought for the other fel
low and realize that his fellow motorists have some
rights on the road.
Two important functions at the county fair are
sponsored by Hillsboro organizations—the Rotary
club and the Business and Professional Women’s
club. Rotarians sponsor the “Mutt’ dog show and the
expressions on the faces of the boys and girls should
more than repay the members for all they put into
it. Women in the Business and Professional club put
in considerable work in putting on the twin and
triplet contest and deserve much credit. Although, at
times, one feels that work of this kind is without
benefit, the Argus cannot help but feel that these
two organizations are sponsoring events that mean
much to making the county fair in Hillsboro a suc
cessful community event.
After reading the letter published in last week’s
paper about children taking milk bottles that right
fully belonged to the milk distributor and selling
them at stores, one of our subscribers told us that
they not only took empty bottles, but would steal
fresh milk after delivered on porches, use the milk
and sell the bottles. These are acts that should be
investigated by parents. If children are actually in
need of milk, there are many kind-hearted citizens
who would be glad to buy milk for them, rather than
have them develop into thieves. These practices
should be reported to the parents, and if not stop
ped, then reported to the proper authorities, for it
is a deplorable thing to have juveniles starting on
the road which leads to the “Big House.’’
Increased use of Hillsboro made products means
more money in the community with which to buy
products of the farm, to buy goods from the local
merchants and to patronize local professional and
service men. Remember that bread and pastries are
made here, that laundry and cleaning work is avail
able from local firms, that printing of quality can
be secured as reasonable here as any place, that milk
is condensed here and that Forest Grove butter made
from the milk of Washington county cows is sold
in local stores.
Value of irrigation was seen on the recent tour by
farmers and business men. They saw where loss or
“just getting by” was turned into profit through the
use of water. Products produced on irrigated lands
by local farmers are evidence of the value of irriga
tion. Oregon has plenty of rain during the fall, win
ter and spring months, but there are long months
without rain and irrigation will relieve some of the
hazards.
Weil’s are to be congratulated on 18 years of
service in the community. In that time they have
built up one of the outstanding suburban depart
ment stores in the state, a credit to the county. They
have done much to increase the trading area of Hills
boro.
Action of the county court in taking over the
work as purchasing agent of the county is to be
commended as a step for business efficiency in coun
ty affairs. Centralized buying should result in econ
omies that will be appreciated in the future.

THURSDAY NIGHT, SEPT. 24
Oregon prunes, both the big
tart Italians and the smaller, sweet
er 1‘etites, are now available in
abundance and at very low prices,

prominent place in the diet of the
average family, says the school of
home economics at Oregon State

The greater part of the Oregon
prune crop will be dried commer
cially, of course, but another large
part will go into family fruit closets
in the form of jams, jellies, con-
serves and canned fruit. Prunes
are one of the easiest fruits to
