The Corvallis Gazette published the two extremists be put on an island following editorial, which is a well until the dispute is settled. timed article and very appropriate for Forest Grove, hence its reproduction here: “ The question” What is neces sary to make a town or community thrive?’ is of vital importance and one often in the minds of the thinking citizens. Many things accrue to the benefit of a people. The most essen tial thing is a good pay roll. Without this there is no life, and of course without lire the town is dead, so to speak. But how to secure a pay roll? ‘‘it is patent that the poor man— the laborer— cannot be expected to create a pay roll. So we must look to the rich and fairly well-to-do for this creation. But there is the sticking point. Such a man is already indepen dent in a sense and is generally dis creet enough to try and ‘‘make sure” before he invests in any business that will provide means of substance for any number of people. He must exercise good judgment in determining what is a proper business in which to engage Must consider the country, its products, and comnunity, less needs. “ Having determined all this, he next gives attention to the tempei of his fellow-men. Here his heart may fail him, for few, if any will ‘patronize ■ home industry’ if the home manufac tured article can be secured for a few cents elsewhere. “ This sort of thing is what is retard ing the growth of Oregon, and of all the small towns, Corvallis among the rest. And the people are to blame. Never a week passes that orders do not go from this city to some other place for something that could ha\ e been secured here. In purchasing at home you may pay out a few cents more for a given thing, but your money is here. Its presence is neces sary to the life of the place in which you reside. You look to your home town to supply you a living— you owe it something. In a degree the possi bility of creating a pay roll is in your own hands, be you rich or poor,” During the coming weeks you will find hundreds of them at the Progressive Store. Not only in goods that you may only need a short time this winter, but in most cases on goods that you will need right along from now on. By Experience You Know The civic improvement league which proposes to obtain, if possible, the Congregational square and convert it into a park, ought to—and no doubt will— receive the support of everyone. That it is always safe to trade at the Progressive Store. Sometimes it is more advantageous than at other times but always you find better values here and better assortments than at any other place in the community. New goods are coming in every day and we are getting the old winter stock out of the way as quickly as possible. Sylvia Lucus.

Discriminating Buyers Come Here For their daily needs, they come here whenever they need anything because we make a practice of showing and advertising only dependable merchandise. W e do not buy anything just because it doesn’t cost much, it must have intrinsic value considerably higher than usual if it gets the name of “a bargain.” You will find nothing but “real bargains” in our store. Spring Silks and Dress Goods Extraordinary introductory showing of our new spring line of silks and dress goods. You cannot appreciate the hundred and one little things which go to make our stock the favorite one in this community without coming in and just now as the heavy buying has not yet set in, you can take your time to make your selec tions. A Drive in Linens When we say linens we mean all linen, not union or half cotton or fixed up mixtures that look like linen— strictly all linen, then— and the drive— well that’s where your pocket book gets a chance. Just think of getting a two yard wide all linen table cloth at 75 cents. Clothing for Little Men at Little Prices Suits, sailor or Russian blouse, Buster Brown, three piece or double breasted regular coat styles, trousers cut full and wide, the kind that a strong lusty fellow can put right on and wear— they wear just a little better— fit a little better— look a little better— than what you have been in the habit of getting at the same prices. Bring him in and fit him out. The New Spring Suits and Jackets New arrivals in women’s wear are now being shown. If you want to see the best of the numberless styles and ideas in garments and take time to make your selections, come in now, before the heavy buying season sets in. In the meantime we are clearing out stock of all heavy and medium weight goods, so that if you are looking for a big bargain in waists or skirts come in quick. Solid Shoes Specials Solid shoes in the first place that’s the only kind your money can buy— special prices, very much special— in fact there’s really no good reason why we should make these prices— except that we want to keep our shoe department busy. Here they are: Men’s shoes at $1.50, $1.75, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $3.50, $4.50. Ladies $1.50, $1.75, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $3.50. Misses,’ Youths,’ and Children’s at all prices. ; Hoffman & Allen Co ' | m Main Street, forest Grove, Oregon I j IIEIHIBIBIHIEK ¡eaii Sound. Solid and Successful.
