If .ten son will co-operate wth Eagle and Eagle with Jenson, this should he a comparitively easy matter. old world would be much happier We know that self worry for self and "I should worry" tactics for neighbors, brought on the Euro T nknuM i,... should be changed to "I will wor ry." YES. The NEWS has had a chance' to sell out but the editor of this family medium of thought is in no huixy to do this. Per sonally speaking, he likes Eagle Valley, and while not making i fortune at the publishing busi ness. is at least living and thats something, isn't it? IF ANYBODY GETS ANGRY AT any of the statements in our edir toral column, we are sorry. You know an editor is supposed to have hide as thick as a rhinoceros and let all the darts flung his way, glance off, but sometimes t iis idea won't vork and he just naturally has to fling a dart or two himself and see if the idea rill work the other way. TRUE PROGRESS LIES IN THE ability of men to co operate, one with another, regardless of creed or opinion. When the question in hand does not effect the per sonal attitude, bury the hatchet, arid where possible bury it any- way. standing thus, shoulder xshoulder, Eagie people could ihalce a true paradise of their fer tile valley When will this sapi ent truth be learned? PEOPLE too many "Ish-ka-Bibble" NOW-A-DAYS HAVE signs inytheir make-up. If they would worry a little more about their fellows welfare and not confine their "brain waves" to "self .worries," we would imagine this THE EAGLE VALLEY BAND IS an institution that the people of Eagle are not taking enough in terest in. This band really plays excellent music and has grown from a small beginning to quite an ending. It has financed itself from the start and is still doing so. xne out siue people comet help, but, it is hardly right for the boys themselves to ask it.

We dont think that the greater proportion of our people think this way but to those few that do let us say, that it is sometimes wise for the powerful brain to reach down and associate with the plebeian brain thereby put ting himself on the level of the common herd.

There i3 only one fair way to find out what Oregon dry will do for Oregon. That is by investi gating what Oregon dry has dono for those parts of Oregon now dry. So far as can be learned in Salem, Oregon City, Koscburg, Albany, Eugene and other Oregon- dry t6WMj fnisfeeBWhaa ITceri better in all Jjnes, save tlmt Of the4 laloon, in every dry town. Why, even in Pendleton, which votod wet after being dry, but which will probably vote dry, many merchants are now in favor of a dry town and declare collections were better, business better and bad dbU fewer whri the tow was dry.

Doesn't look as if dry Salem hurl that town, does it? Better Building Hesulta. Salem went dry January 1, 1014. The building permits for the first cltfht months of 1013, when the town -was wet, total $388,925. For the first eight months of 1914 they were 9422,385, un increase of $33,400. Another instance of a dry town helping business! Absence of the saloon always means better busi ness,, fpr (he mdney that, pnee went to thq finlopn goes,' Into trade.
