He says: run a newspaper into the ground. “I'd rather see a young fellow O ffic e 502 marry on $15 a week than hold aloof from marriage until too late in life. It’s a great deal better for a young couple to struggle along together and have their little home, their little family, than it is to live singly till the man has gathered a pile, Whether the man should attempt to start a home on $15 a week depends very much on the girl the man marries. ■ Summarizing in a paragraph some of the advantages of good roads, a set of resolutions adopt- ed by an Illinois Good Roads As- sociation says: '‘Improved roads mean better schools and larger attendance, better health and quicker transportation, b e t t e r farms and more cultivated land, better crops and cheaper trans- portation, better economic con- ditions and more producers, bet- ter social conditions and less iso- lation, better church attendance and better citizens, better postal service and closer friends, better business and more customers, better industries and more cm- ploytpenL” These are all things Considerable comment has ap- peared of late in the state press having to do with the treatment of strangers by the various com- mercial bodies, In the matter of receiving strangers who may visit the city ,,f Forest Grove with the idea of a possible investment, it is up to the citizens to set an example for other municipalities to follow. Bid the caller welcome in a hearty manner. Grasp him by the hand and tell him how bright the prospects are. Don’t stand around like a lot of dressed up dummies before a clothing store, with long faces and gloomy looks, viewing e v e r y t h i n g through a pessimistic microscope; don't go whining around casting heavy shadows in the path of all that tends to cheerfulness and faith. Speak a cheery word and lend your influence in behalf of a better and greater Forest Grove, Be opitmistic, enthusiastic and full of the spirit that kindles a warm and receptive glow. Lot the stranger know that you have confidence in the future of the many to stand firm for temper ance, to vote for Prohibition and to be loyal to our motto, “For God and Home and Native Land.” Notable thought from Senator Elihu Root, of New York: “I should be very glad if there were some way in accordance with the constitution in which we could help stop the liquor traffic and the time is surely coming when the people of the United States will be ready to act as a whole in the suppression of this traffic.” Is not that an encouraging note from so prominent a man as Senator Root? Hear what Rev. Bishop Fitzgerald writes: “ From every organization that compro mises or sympathises with the rum traffic, Christian men should separate themselves.” land daily newspaper can work more harm than a year’s hard w’ork can undo. There is evi dently truth in the statement or such publicity would not have been sought. Forest Grove, Ore., March 16, (To the Editor.) —I would like the privilege of expressing my sympathy for “Anxious House w ife,” in the Oregonian Thurs day. I was very glad to see her communication, for I think such things merit the widest publicity. Cnee, when going along the street, I saw on display some extra fine looking strawberries, so I bought a crate for canning— not because I must have them that day, but because those look ed extra fresh and good; but when I received my strawberries, they had been picked so long that they were half dried, and in such poor condition that had it been my last opportunity to get any that season I would not have thought of taking them. Then, again, when apples were some what scarce I saw in one of the shops a box of apples of good red color and seemingly in good condition to eat fresh. I paid an extra price for them and thought I paid for that box, but when I received my apples, they were of no color, no flavor, and broken as much as if they had been mov ed by shoveling them. They would not keep; they were no good to eat fresh, so all 1 could do was to can a few of them. When I re ported to the merchant no one knew anything about it. I hoped they might tie willing to ex change them. And yet that whole family is prominent in church work, regular in church attendance, also Bible school. Whom can we trust? I could relate other instances, but per haps this is enough. HOUSEWIFE. Portland Oregonian. March 22.
