WHY BUY AT HOME!
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.

We were recently asked, "Will the
Graphic be a republican paper in the
fall election?1 We wish to make our
position clear on the question of pol-
itics. While the editors of the
Graphic are republicans by party
preference. It is not our purpose to
run the Graphic as a party news
paper. There is only one paper in
Newberg and we believe that It
would be manifestly unfair and also
uncalled for to array ourselves on
one side or the other of a political
fight. We supported A certain can
didate in the recent primaries sim
ply because we felt that he was the
best man put forth on either party
ticket for governor, but as be did
not get the nomination we do not
propose to take any side in the fall
election.

present system of government, the
politicians wax Into* white heat to
tell us that the county, state or na

though both parties have served in
power, the government has managed
to go on just the same. We hope that
the voters will be successful in plcl-
