The publishers of the Graphic hope that they will be able to increase this ru ral news serrisp to an even gieoter extent and to t$|s end We invite the k. We want Ity repreaeat- to have every ed with a gc and then we want to have any other news of interest to the.farmers and fruit growers, the dairy men and chicken raisers, or in fact anyone en gaged in any kind of rural produc tion. If you are making a success of some special adventure along these lines, by all means let us know about it and give us the opportunity to work up a good news story about it. Or if you know o f someone else who is doing something of interest let us know of that. This sort of cooperation win help both the pa per and the farmers of this commun ity. Then too, we believe it is some honor to Newberg to have their pa per win first plaee In this contest as this news Is published pretty largely in all of the papers of the state. Just as Newberg secured some good advertising from winning first place in the Rose Festival, in only a smaller degree, w ill Newberg se cure good publicity because the The publishers of the Graphic wish to thank the people of New berg who have contributed in vari ous ways to the success of this paper during the months of its present ownership. The winning of the first award in the rural service contest put on by the department of indus trial journalism of the Oregon Agri cultural College last week is a very high honor indeed and we feel that no small part a t the credit for this achievement is due the good people of this community who have Mats ted us In building up tbe best rural newspaper in the state. We say this with no idea of self-prates or bigotry but because the judges in the contest have awarded the Graphic that dis tinction. Last year in a content against some of the state’s papers which had prepared special editions for the occasion the Graphic by sim ply picking Up a copy of a former ls- sne-was able to tie with four other papers for fourth place. This year the contest was divided Into various according to the sine o f the and the Graphic won first a ponrr of view prise In the free-for-all class which A newspaper most have a definite Included the larger papers of the state. policy and must represent and speak We a r» justly proud of this vic for its editor.

However, the Graphic, realiz sire to run a good clean newspaper ing this fact, has made a special ef and one which w ill build up his com fort to procure the rural news ser munity along right lines, should al vice from its territory and so far we low such dictation, to .swerve him feel that we have been to a large from, bis *w% Ideas and his own.con- extent successful. ceptions of his duty.

The Qrafllftt tries to be a booster. We want to « r i p make Newberg the best little city in the country, but sometimes It Is necessary to criticise in order to focus attention upon things which we believe are wrong. We do not claim to have super-wisdom, and we may sometimes be wrong in our own conclusions, hut nevertheless we must write as we see It or else sub merge our individuality and our identity into a spineless and worth less purveyor o f wayside happen in g with no purpose of helpfulness for the community. _ We bespeak the indulgence of our readers. I f you Wo n o ta g re e w f^i everything we say, just charge It up to our point of vtew. Remember that we are just as anxious to build up Newberg and surrounding coun try as anyone, and If we say some thing critical it w ill only be said be cause we believe It is for the beet' interests of the community. The Baking Powder that Gives the Best Service in Your Kitchen The Economy BAKING POWDER The mania for weed which seems to have swept the country .Is exact ing a fearful toll of human life. On the. streets of our own city one at our most highly respected citizens was struck down by one who after wards plead guilty to this offense. The state laws regulate traffic at all Intersections to a speed of 12 miles per hoar so that Ignorance of the law coujd not be advanced and would not be of any avail if It were. This law, If observed would curtail accidents to a very large extent. It was demonstrated that this man could stop his car In a distance o f little more than half it » own length when traveling at 12 milea per hour. Thus the Injury of a respected citi zen and his possible death might have been avoided by simply observ ing the law. We believe that the penalty for violation of this law should be made so heavy that It would be respected. The penalty about the best little «M y la th e ooun- F 5 should not stop with a mere fine but -try and v e a i t glad to see others ^ should include a sentence o f im beginning to recognize this fact.) prisonment and then the motoring public would hesitate about violating On the highway near Hillsboro two men were killed when the mo torcycle on which they were riding collided with a heavy truck. The report says that the motoreyele wfls traveling at a high rate of speed on the wi*ong side o f the highway/ The riders paid the price o f law viola tion with their own lives in this case. However, too often It is the innocent party who suffers when the law is violated. There Is too great a contempt being shown toward our motor laws which a strict enforce ment policy might do much to cur tail. Human life is too valuable a thing to squander so recklessly and those who insist on being reckless should first be warned and then Bhould have their driver’s licenses revoked and given a.prison term In which to think it over. That is the only way that the highways can be made safe for the public. It does one good to get out and travel to other sections of the state and see what the other fellow Is do ing. Oregon Is a big state and has wonderful resources. Many of them are still latent and need only a more full development tp bring this state Into its rightful prominence. Some of the things which we noted be tween her and the Ysquina bay country were fruit lands, grain lands, timber, harbors, water power, and transportation faculties. The exploitation of these should mean a much greater prosperity to Oregon end we hope the day la not far dis tant when* these recourses may be developed to their fullest extent. Newport evidenced what a small community can do in the way of making themselves felt In a large way when they cooperated with Cor vallis In entertaining the recent state editorial association meeting. It was a big task to entertain 200 or more people at a big banquet aad then keep them overnight and give them further entertainment through out the following day. Yet Newport made good. Theirs Is only a. com paratively small city but their people were certainly hospitable and made everyone feel a real welcome. ■«king Powder Just Make C. A.
