RICHARD B, SWENSON Editor A NUUImt MONMOUTH, OREGON KSURO EVERT FRIDAY FRIDAY, APR. 25,1919 Subecriptieo Rate One year Six month ' Thr month 11,60 75 eta Met Monmouth Meditations The lure of the family garden has lost some of its allurement, or so the signs would indicate. The liquor men are still finding loopholes in the wartime prohibi tion law. The first succession of clear days makes the average citizen think of a fishing trip or some sort of vac' tion. ' With Easter eggs worth about four cents apiece it was a fortunate small boy who had all he could eat on the great annual occasion. Monmouth is one of the spots on the map marked with a pin by dai rymen of the United istatea for some of the best Jerseys of the country are owned here. The dove of peace is spreading its wings for an extended night Likewise, a commercial eagle which has been planning to fly across the ocean, is daily growing impatient for weather conditions to favor the enterprise. - Independence hai a business men's association as a substitute for a commercial club and will not al low local newspaper men to belong or attend meetings which is one way to boom business in a community t It must take some quick decisions on proportions in value for the en terprising and successful burglar who visits a modern store at the proper hour, to determine what to take and what to leave. But it ap pears to us the Miller store burg lars overlooked something when they took the silks and left the ba con. The Victory loan appears to have gone over the top with a whoop and a hurrah and the solicitors do not appear to have exerted them selves to any where near the extent of former occasions. Yet it was ex pec ted this would be the hardest of the loans to raise. .Doubtless the banks who underwrote the quotas of the county can explain better than the average layman, how the thing was done. Berries and prunes are a combi nation which promises prosperity for the Willamette Valley and Polk County. The hills to the west of Monmouth are capable of taking a very much greater part in their production than they do at present No one ought to begrudge the coast the Roosevelt highway. It will bring thousands of tourists to Oregon, increase the population of the state, develop the coast country and will be used by Willamette val ley citizens quite as much as by the citizens of other parts of the state. A barometer of business in the country is the "help wanted" col umns of the "Publisher's Auxiliary" a publication that goes into practi cally every newspaper office in the United States. Ten years ago there were three and four columns of these ads. Five years ago there was only one column. Now there are five columns or more of employ ers seeking help. It does not appear as if here were any great amount of unemployment in the U. S. to Facts of location and convenience are important to a town but the public spirit of its citizens is also a big item. Enterprise, team work, a manifestation of desire and capaci ty to get there have kept many a town out of the ' rut r and on the move. ' - When the man who has a Liberty bond seeks to sell it he ' discovers that it is not worth face value. The difference between its selling price and its nominal value repre sents his sacrifice in winning the war. He is out the use of his mon ey for the period of the loan. If he wants the immediate use of his money h mutt accept a ' discount. It it perhaps trite to aay that many soldiers have mad . sacrifices, forev er lost, which they could not regain fur any tort of a discount. Satisfaction with present condi tions meant decay. The spirit to try out tome thing new it progress ive. The new may not be at satis factory at the old, In which case one may return to the old. But If the new it better, it it that much gained. Waget in the variout professions and callings, it, after all, a matter amenable to the law of tupply and demand. ' The tendency to low wag es in any one branch will correct it self for new talent will avoid that branch and the growing scarcity of workers will soon correct that fault in wages. The indications are that farm work will never be at cheap again as it was before the war, that farm products will not again be come as cheap and that the status of the farmer is in for some start ling changes during the next few years as compared to what' it was a few years ago. The fraternal societies of Mdh mouth and Independence occasional ly meet together and appear to find considerable pleasure and satisfac tion in one another's company. What's the matter with having a joint meeting of the commercial clubs of the two cities? Possibly they might find some common aims and if necessary direct their com mon efforts in a direction to accom plish something for the common good. The City Meat market is living up to the name on its new electric sign, "Sanitary" market, and the interior of the shop has been so changed and slicked up that old patrons will find it difficult to rec ognize it. Both front and back rooms have been painted and paper ed and the room back of both has been ceiled and fitted up as a work shop. A larger motor has been in stalled and a machine for the man ufacture of wieners and bologna is to share with the big kettle the accommodation of the place. Hus ton Brothers are giving Monmouth a first class shop.
