KEEP THE SMILE WORKING
Simply because prices are sliding downward slightly
is no reason whv DeoDle should feel that the time has
come for procrastination in business matters. Get
out of your mind that a crash is coming. , Otherwise you
are going to be disappointed. Tljis old ship of state has
weathered some pretty tough storms but there is no log
ical reason for believing that the present conditions wil
develop into even a erentle zephyr. It is true that read
justments are necessary, but they are coming gradually,
and it will be found that there has been very little dis
turbance.
Back in the days when we had our little trouble with
Germany, it will be remembered that , at first retrench
ment on every hand was deemed imperative, yet subse
quent developments revealed that the true prophets
were ones who cried that business should go on as usual.
It was th very carrying on of this business as usual es
sential work which made it possible for this country

very important part in the struggle.
So it is now. Things may not be going just as we
would like to have them. . Anticipated profits may be
materially reduced in all lines, yet some way or other
this part of Oregon and the rest of the country for that
matter will continue to grow richer and better, and hap
pier if we continue to keep the smile machine working
regularly. .

Mr. and Mrs. II. R. Patterson

erinsr wood. Mr. Graves' recently
purchased a woodsaw and is going

sive scale.
Donald Barton, who has been
emplbyed in the A. G. Williams bar
ber shop for the past few months,
has gone to Oregon City. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Barton and
children and they may decide to lo
cate there. :

MAIL DELIVERY IS PROCURABLE .
Independence has an opportunity to take a decided
forward step. All that will be required to accomplish
this is a little more civic pride. By simply building
needed sidewalks, the government will establish, a mail
delivery to all parts of the city.
There is a regulation of the postal department that
where the revenue at the postoffice exceeds $5000 per
year a delivery system will be established upon the neces
sary application being made and prodded that the city
has sidewalks over the entire delivery disrict. Indepen
dence would be entitled to two carriers and they would
be paid a salary of $1200 a year each. .
The sidewalk situation is good here with a few excep
tions. There is a crying need for a walk across the fill.
This is very much needed even though no steps be taken
to get the mail delivery. Pedestrians are now compell
ed to follow the highway, and at night it becomes more
or less of a hazardous undertaking on account of the
automobile traffic. There are some other walks which
would have to be built and ohers repaired. Still it
would not be a very big undertaking for such an appre
ciable benefit. . ' .
There have been more transfers of
ndependence residences during: the
past few months than for many
years. Ihe demand for residences
is so keen that it is impossible to
rent a desirable place and this con
dition probably accounts for some of
the sales.
Durinsr the past few days, W. II,
Boyer, a former resident of Indepen
dence, purchased the Agnew proper
ty m North Independence with the
expectation of occupying it about the
first of the coming month.
Mr. Thomas of Palouse, Wash.,
has purchased the Ernie Johnson
residence at the corner of Fourth
and A and will take possession No
vember 1st. Both of these sales
were made by the Independence
Realty company.
Political Announcement
The developing of the community spirit, which is be
lieved will prove the, solution of the rural problem, is
accomplishing something worth while at Oak Point.
Under the direction of Mrs. Collins the school there has
been brought to a very high degree of efficiency 'and at
the same' time the community interest has been awaken
ed to such an extent that parents and others residing in
that locality have in reality become a part of the insti
tution. Such work is successful because back of it
there is a real human touch, which, of course, makes all
akin. Consideration is given to the home problems as
well as the school work. When pupils fyecome deeply
mceresea in tneir worK parents likewise are enthused,
and in reality all become a part of the school.
Merchants count it an in
vestment where returns are
actual and provable.
The expense of maintenance
is comparatively insignificant.
