The entire outgoing set was re-elected. It was decided to install an ice plant and to manufacture ice and ice cream for commercial purposes. This is a step in the right direc tion, for it means that Monmouth will be saving a lot of money that is going out every summer for ice and ice cream. It may be news to some, but the bookstore alone uses $100 of ice cream monthly during the summer and it is likely that the bakery use as much or more. This would mean that $200 a month was sent to Portland for that purpose Figuring the ice bill at as much or more, we have $100 monthly paid out that will be kept here. Let everybody boost for the new ice plant. A commercial traveler said to an Independence business man a few days ago: "What's the matter with your town ? The first thing you know Monmouth will build right down here and you will be left on the outside." It is to be hoped that this will not be the case, but that Independence will meet us half way and the two towns will join hands at Talmage "STAR Brand Shoes aro Better" SHOE POft WOMEN A line of high grade footwear made by the Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co.

When your breakfast is spoiled by poor coffee don't blame the cook until you find out what kind of coffee she uses.
