A GREAT COUNTRY . We days three It won't be so very long now until the green gets back in the trees and residents of Maupin and vicinity will be making gar den and putting in their crops. Which reminds us that while the amount raised by everyone in this particular section combined may seem small, the entire har vest of any one crop i3 sufficient to make us realize what a -wonderful country we live in. For instance, take corn, read some figures a few ago to show just what the leading corn states in the union Iowa, Missouri and Illinois can do in a good crop year. If you would place the last year's corn crop of these three states in wagons 10 abreast, to each of which is hitched a team of horses and then back of these place another row of 10 and scart the procession out from Chicago it would move as a con tinuous line to New York City, then across a pontoon bridge to London; across another bri-dge to Paris and from Paris to Mos cow. And going by way of Mos cow the procession would show the bolshevists how little Ameri can peasants "earn." It wouJd reach on to Siberia, across tie Pacific to San Francisco. Back in this country it would proceed across the Rocky mountains, over the plains and into Chicago. And when the first 10 teams reached Chicage the last 10 would just be leaving. That's hard to believe, but statisticians have figured it out. And now when you start in to make your garden or plant your crop, whether it is corn or some thing else, just try to realize what a wonderful country you are permitted to plant in. A LUSTY INFANT It is said that one out oi every three families in New York City owns a radio and that industry is now doing a $500,000,000 a year business. There are 600 broadcasting stations in the United States, and yet broadcast ing is but five years old. Six years ago radio was a hobby, and radio sets were classed as play things. Today it is one of the public's principal means of en tertainmentand it is only in its infancy. We are glad to see the people of Maupin and sur rounding community welcoming, instead of discouraging, this newest means of communication. The radio not only brings pleasure, it brings all sections of the United States into closer touch with each other; it brings additional education to the young people of every home in which it is installed; it carries the gos pel of good citizenship as well as the gospel of Christ to shut-ins and those in far away places who cannot get to church. In fact, the miracles already wrought by radio are small as compared with the miracles it is going to work within the next few years. THEY ALL DO We heard a woman in a Mau pin store a few days ago insist ing on having'a certain brand of coffee. In fact she was so in- RIP NFLOURK Unexcelled , For Baking all kinds of Bread Cakes Pastries Woodcock Bros. Milling Co. MAUPIN, - - OREGON 13-; sistent that we asked her why some other brand wouldn't do just as well. "I see it adver tised in everything I pick up,'! she said, "and if it wasn't all right they would not be adver tising it." And we feel surethel same rule works with everything else sold over the counter.1' The best advertised goods move fastest any merchant knows that And yet there are mer chants who do not take advan tage of that knowledge and ad vertise the goods they carry that (io not move as fast as they would like to have them. It's poor rule that won't work more than one way. . And the columns of this paper are wide open for the merchant who wants to make a test of it. "X The revival meetings now On at the church are being well at tended. There is ample need of a more spiritual atmosphere in Maupin and it is to be hoped that the meetings will result in doing much good here. Rev. Mershon is a forceful talker, is imbued with the spirit of the Re deemer and is heart and soul in the work of doing good to all. A Maupin young man remarked that The Times was the "craziest newspaper he had ever read." Maybe so. But when the mental j condition of some of the readers I isconsidered.no editor can he expected to write acceptably about all their little lapses into ignorance and cater to their idiosyncracies. The baseball fever is spread ing and Maupin is in line for a good team- On the side it is proposed that all the old-time ball players organize a team, practice up, then challenge like teams from any part of the country. The idea of setting out fruit trees at the fish Hatchery is a good one. Not only will they prove a help to the hatchery man, but will greatly add to the beauty of the hatchery grounds. The Maupin man who persists in wearing woolen underwear doesn't need any lessons in how to dance the Charleston. Ford ought to favor the old, pure dances of boyhood. He did enough to make the "shim mie" universal A congressman wants a law passed for finger-printing every body. All right let's start in Washington City. The old-time dances have come back, but where are all the old time albums and the round table casters. Maupin School Notes MOVIES AT SCHOOL A moving picture show will be given this evening at 7:30 in the gymnasium, under the auspices of the high school. There will be shown a reel in colors depicting the Grand Canyon in Arizona. There will also be shown "The Barefoot Boy," a story of the ups and downs of life which may beset the average boy. The comic reel is entitled "Wedding Bells," and is given advance notice as a sure-fire laugh-producer of the genuine rib-tickling variety. This program is given for the purpose of determining whether more entertainments of this kind shall be provided for. Admission charges will be 25 cents for adults, 15 cents for school pupils, except those under the seventh grade, who will be admitted for 10 cents. .GRADES RENDER PROGRAM The grades from first to sixth gave an interesting program Friday afternoon in honor of Washington and Lincoln, whose birthdays occur at a near date. The little boys were interesting in a short flag drill and song. The girls of the primary room showed real ability in a song of George Washington. Playlets presented by the pupils of Mrs Deeg's room .brought out the meaning and beauty of our flag and truth. Also several of the small folks "rendered creditable readings. Among them Jean Renick's "Gift of the Fairies," deserves special mention. Short lives of Washington and Lincoln were read in rnlay by the Cfth and sixth grades and there was some original work in short es says by Beth, Nina, Mary and Melvin. Bill discussed the battle of Trenton and Harry delivered the Gettsburg Address with ease. The visitors included Mes- dames Wood, Hunt, Kelly, Kirsch, Roberts, Staats, Lindley and Kaiser.
