What Do You Think?
The P ress wishes to ask a favor of its many
readers. Will you not write us and tell us in
what way you think we can improve the P ress ,
so as to make it more truly represent the de­
sires of the people o f Forest Grove and all the
people o f Washington county? Tell us what
you would like us to do. We will not use your
name if you do not wish us to do so, so sit down
and write us a letter. The P ress desires to be
a booster for the country. The new Editor is
largely a stranger and o f course does not know
local interests as well as he should. What are
the needs of the people of Washington county?
What improvements should be made? What
things, if any, are at present a drawback to the
city or county? We will greatly appreciate it
if you will write to us about these things. Let
us all work for the good of the community.

A Beautiful Drive.
One evening last week, the editor, as the
guest of Judge Hollis, took an auto ride up to
Galles Creek. We followed the creek road up
past Gales City and returned over the Hillside
road. This certainly is a beautiful drive. The
pleasing variation of field and meadow extend­
ing throughout the Gales Creek valley could
only be surpassed by the inspiring view from
the highest point on the Hillside road. From
there one can see over all the northern end of
the valley, and the view reveals the many pros­
perous farms better than merely traveling by
them, for from that altitude the rolling hills
and dales of the valley look alike, the whole
appeaing perfectly level.
The following remarks have found their way
to the editor’s note book. They certainly seem
to indicate prosperity in an unqualified form.
“ There is more doing in Forest Grove than in
any other town in the Willamette valley, popu­
lation considered.’ ’ So said W. W. Ireland, on
his return last week from a trip to all sections
o f the valley.
One merchant was heard to say that one day
last week his store had done one o f the largest
day’s business in the history o f the firm, and
that the sales were mostly small ones at that.
Another leading merchant told us that his
businnss as compared with last year is nearly
doubling. There has been only one day this
summer that the sales total was below that date
o f last year, while one day totaled an increase
o f GOO per cent.
From one o f our good farmers - “ I like to

Young China is now being threatened with
dissolution. The revolution is assuming serious
aspects. However, let us remember some of
our early troubles, and maybe we will have
more patience with our neighbors across the Pa­
cific. Wonderful advancement has taken place
in China during the past few years. Manchu
tradition was forced to yield to modern reason,
western thought. Young China has astonished
the world with its advances toward democrocy.
Evolution is Nature’s way, and is a slow and
unnoticable process; but revolution is man’ s
way, and is a rapid and dangerous process.
China cannot evade disturbances that any sud­
den change necessarilly creates. It can, and we
hope it will, meet such difficulties with success.
Chinese are originators as well as immitators.
Added to the the advantage of our experiences,
which they are closely studying, they have an
ingenuity o f their own which will in time, place
them among the leaders as well as followers of
modern progress.

The first knowledge of Washington county’ s
excellence as a great producing section was
gained, when on bis first visit to Forest Grove
a few weeks ago, Mr. Anderson drove the editor
out past Kansas City and thence several miles
east before we turned and came back to Forest
Grove through Verboort and by the Fair
grounds. If for any reason any good citizen
should begin to feel a little down in the mouth
like, let him repeat this little ride, notice the
beautiful crops standing in the fields and the
fine looking stock in the pastures and he will re­
turn to his daily routine with a smile on his face
and cheer in his heart. Such are the blessings
of living in a truly prosperous country.

That Hogs “ mortgage raisers” can be fatten­
ed on Oregon clover and alialfa, as well as on
Iowa corn, is just beginning to be realized by our
farmers. Especially where there is an abun­
dance of skim milk going to waste, will hog
raising be profitable. There is no reason why
many Washington county farmers cannot add
materially to their profits by raising hogs.
Some are now doing so; but why not more.

The one thing needed for Forest Grove is
more publicity. The best way to do this is to
benefit our farmers, patronize our merchants,
and develop our instit itions. Then all that is
necessary is to say Forest Grove, Washington
county, Oregon, e ;ery chance we get.

Business and the Home Paper
The business man of a town
should lie a solid supporter of
the newspapers published in bis
city. No other individual indus­
try does more to build up a com­
munity than does the newspaper
published in that community.
Its boosting makes an atmos­
phere, already lively, a good
deal livlier. Its pages rarely
ever fail to give more than value
received for the support o f its
home advertisers. The business
man who fails to make use of it
as a medium is not only missing
an oppurtuniny to benefit him­
self, but at the same time he is
deliberatly showing a tendency
o f unwillingness to aid the com­
mon weil.
The Glacier believes in support
o f home industries. It believes
that the buisness man, the ran­
cher and all concerned will find
this the economical course to
persue. Money spent at home
will build up the home commun­
ity.—Hood River Glacier
with care, plan to meet every
obstacle and work intelligently
and perseveringly to carry out
their plans.
Success very rarely comes to
us unless we work for it. Those
successes that are founded on
chance are on a flimsy founda­
tion. and are liable to be over­
turned as quickly as they arose.
The man or woman who sees a
demand for some product and
proceeds to supply that demand
in the most effective manner is
on the high road to success.
The man who never thinks is
as hopeless as the man who will
not work, but waits for fortune
to pick him out as the recipient
of her smiles. It is impossible
to work to the best effect with­
out thought, first to plan and
then to direct one’s labors.
Insane asylums are full o f able-
bodied men. Each is hands,
plus arms, plus muscles, plus
strength. But each lacks thought.
And inability to think makes the
whole man helpless, perhaps ev.
en dangerous to himself and bis
fellowmen.

Most any one can be an editor.
All the editor has to do is to sit
at a desk six days out of the
week, four weeks out of the
month, and twelve months out
o f the year, and “ edit” such
stuff as this.
“ Mrs. White o f Cactus Creak
let a can opener slip last week
and cut herself in the pantry,”
“ A mischevious lad of Pike-
town threw a stone and struck
Mr. Pike in the alley last Tues­

“ John Dos climbed on the roof
of bis house last week looking
for a leak, and fell striking him­
self on the back porch.”
“ While Harold Green was es­
corting Miss Violet Wise from

night a savage dog attacked
