Thoughtlessness is doubtless the basis for much foreign purchasing and many people, without consider­ ing its effect upon their community and state and, upon themselves, pur­ chase goods of foreign make, and by foreign make we do not necessarily mean made in Europe, but rather made at a distance. We believe that all things considered one should al­ ways buy as near home as possible. There is a double reason- for this. It helps build up those territories near home and thus Indirectly helps us all and then it tends to do away with an expensive gystem of ship­ ping goods out of the local territory and other goods du, thus paying double shipping charges. Somebody has to pay for this and in the long run it is the ultimate consumer who Our attention has been called to this condition by an item apnt out by the Associated Industries of Ore­ gon in their Greater Oregon Business news sheet which is just at hand. The item states, "Because an Ore­ gon manufacturing plant received a contract recently to turn out $10,* 000 worth of its products, 70 fami­ lies including SS0 people were as­ sisted through a dull period and gfv, en means to purchase greatly* needed necessities." Did that mean anything to those seventy families? Did It mean any­ thing to the merchants who sold goods to those families? Did it mean anything to the community in which they helped to support churches, lodges, schools, etc.? Did il mean anything that they were able to pay their share of the tax burden either in paying rentals or directly? We’ll say it did. Newberg has a sawmill, a cannery, an iron foundry, a creamery, a bak­ ery, a packing plant, and many other small industries. We wonder if the people of Newberg are really supporting these industries or if they are buying Portland products which are placed on the market in com­ petition with them. When buying Portland products which could be made in Newberg ask yourself the question, "Am I helping destroy a job for some Newberg man and thus tending to drive him and his faqjily away from here?” Newberg people buy Portland bread for example in large quanti­ ties. We wonder if 1 that bread could be.made right here in New berg, how many more people could be employed In that industry alone? We’ll venture It would startle every­ one to know just how many it would mean. Then if all of that bread could be made from Newberg flour how many more men could be em­ ployed in the flour milling here? Then carry that idea on through the local creamery, the local sawmill, the local iron foundry, the local can­ nery and see what a difference it would make to Newberg if only Newberg products were used by Newberg people. We hear someone say that New­ berg institutions cannot compete In price with Portland. To this we would answer that if Newberg peo­ ple would support the Newberg in­ stitutions entirely they could com­ pete, for they would have a volume o f business which would enable them to lower prices and in some cases they do meet competition at pres­ ent. Too often the public overlooks that Intangible asset which should operate in favor of local Industry, and to save a penny they help kill a local Industry which may mean the very life of the community. backed up their country through trying times In an equally heroic manner. They hare been the baofe bone of the nation for a generation. The time has come whep they must pass on the aoepter o f power to their younger brothers— the veterans of the Spanish-American war and of the late world war. We wonder If those younger men will be ready to lake their cue from these old heroes of the past? We wonder If they will be as ready and willing to make sacrifices for their country? We wonder if they will be ready to make their country a good place for fu­ ture generations as have these older boys? As Elijah doffed his mantle to Elisha In the days o f old. .so must the veterans of the civil war doff their mantle to their younger sons and grandsons. It Is merely the lot of mankind. We do our stint in this world and pass on, leaving the world the better or the worse be­ cause of our lives. There is no question as to the lives of those who are passing on, but the younger ele­ ment whose lives are in the making must establish themselves and nat­ urally the nation will wonder what their attitude will be and how they will acquit themselves. The Graphic believes that our American Legion boys, as sons and grandsons of these old veterans, will acquit themselves in honorable manner and that thq thinning lines of blue may hand down their mantle to the vital lines of khaki with a feeling of confidence and assurance that tt will be worn with honoi* and that the nation will be safeguarded by them from every angle, even as it has been by those who have gone before. ,It is a pleasure to note that the vigorous spirit of youth, manifest in the boys in khaki, is blending today with the passing spirit of the men in blue and that the boys in khaki are already assuming the spirit of lead­ ership and interest in affairs of state. As the boys in blue and the boys in khaki marched down our streets together; we could not help but feel4hat It was fitting that they should be So drawn together at this time in a mutual celebration of our nation’s heroic dead prior to the ones mentioned in our recent Issue Mrs. M. E. Bloom brought a bouquet of Golden Ophir roses to this office which were among the prettiest from point of coloring which ire have ever seen. She states that she picked two blooms' on the* 14th of May. But surely if any­ one could make rocce bloom early-it ought to be Mrs. Bloom. The Oregon Voter sayt' c f the re­ cent primary: "The republican-pri­ mer) election was either u jubilee depending upon your point of view." Of course that might be said of almost anything, but it certainly applies with point to the election in view of the ninth hour ¡methods which were injected into the campaign. The Voter goes on to Bay, "No able men will offer them­ selves for public suffrage just to get a kick and a black eye because they are not ‘right’ in the estimation of hidden, possibly masked politicians pulling wires in fraternal organlza- -tlons. Newberg has scores of pretty girls who would make the veriest queens. It is to be hoped that the queen eon- test which Btarted today (Thursday) will bring out a large number of these to contest for the honor of representing our city and the Ber- rlan organisation at the Rose Festi­ val and also at the Berry Festival. Those who remember last year's float and berry festival will also remember that the queen was greatly honored. In fact w$ doubt if greater honor can come to most of our local young ladies. It is worth striving for with earnest vim. The Berrians are planning things on a much larger scale this year than last and they will need your support in .their efforts. Have you paid In your membership dues this year? If not, do so as soon as possible and help them to make this year's work a-big success.
