Although situated in the best ag ricultural Bection of the Willamette valley and having the onlv active Normal in the state, Monmouth is sorely lacking in payroll enterprises. There are hut two business places here that have a payroll, the co-operative creamery and the lumber and wood yard. These are both paying busi nesses but there are other manufac turing projects that could he added to the town. A co-operative ware house, run by the farmers, an us handle factory, a cabinet shop and a flour mill would all be paying con cerns. Hundreds ot bushels or ap ples hereabouts are going to waste each year, that could be profitably handled in a cider and vinegar fac tory. Lots of young folks come here to school who "need and would wel come' some kind of employment to help them along. Monmouth would do well to follow the example of othe? valley towns which have such busif nesses. PERRYDALE J, E. Yoakum and Mrs. C. L. Bratcher were McMinnville callers Monday. H. J.
