The possibilities fo r com m ercial ising this natural range grass, should appeal to many farm ers who are seeking additional sources of re venue from th eir upland acres. A few pounds o f this grass sown in the fall of the jrear will increase en orm ously through the w inter months and will produce bublets both on the stalk and at the roots that can be m arketed to less favorable stations o f the country at a nice pro fit per acre.-—Spokesman —— o----------------- C O M M O N W ELFARE * To have the facility of interesting oneself in the w elfare and happiness of others is an adm irable and ad vantageous quality— a quality or habit th at may be considered al most invaluable. F or it is only when one has reached th at stage where he can enjoy giving and help- ing qthers th at tru e happiness ex ist*. h or an example, picture a m iser who spends all of his tim e in collect ing dollars, oblivious of the wants and needs of others. He is able to have all the luxuries, the money bought pleasures and friends, but yet the m ajority of hia ilk cannot be aaid to enjoy life. On the other hand, there U the man who devotes his tim e to the In-1 Wrest» o f the eum m unity in which. THE REAL COMMENCEMENT The seniors are graduating. From the elem entary schools, from the high schools, from the colleges and universities they are being ushered forth to new fields of activity, new experiences, new problems. Some of them are through with school. F or them this is a real com m encem ent of the battles of life. But though some are through wi’5. school none are through with stuuy. Though some are through with scholastic preparation, none is through with th at continual, su«^ tained application which is the ac cum ulative preparation o f all who ire fired with the am bition and zeal of which success is born. W hatever the field of action to which the grad u ates now seek en trance. they will find th a t the price of advancem ent, o r service and re ward, is needed the com m encem ent of study and preparation upon an ever-increasing scale. Some there a re t/ no doubt, who like to think th a t they now are ‘th ro u g h .” Indeed they are through -through with hope and through with am bition and through with ad vancem ent— unless they now coih- mence. chant, every pr«>fessional man and every pro p erty owner or tax payer is reaping some benefit either di rectly or indirectly. This free adver tising is in the forfti of news stories and editorials telling of the immense wealth to be obtained from the de velopment )t our m ineral resources. It is the publication and the wide dissem ination of the news of this nature, through the Spokesman, th at is largely responsible for the influx of interested mining men into this community. These mining men are here by the hundreds, spending money fo r equipment and fo r sup plies and p u ttin g money into circu lation that would never have been available under normal curcum stan- ces. They are here to open up the m inerals o f the county to develop ment, and as the development p er iod adv»nces so will the influx of new citizens and new wealth, in crease in volume. Every m erchant will p ro fit from this increase in ad ditional sales, every tax payer will benefit by increased property values and the laboring man will p ro fit from an enlarged and steadier m ark et for his labor. The Spokesman has been u n stin t ing in the use of its columns to pro mote this new industry. It has help ed create new business at the be tween seasons period, w hen busif nss would normally, be exceptionally dull. It has takn the lead" in stim u lating this development fo r every .one’s benefit, for which it expects nothing but the good will of the community in turn. However, to be able to carry on this free advertising program indefi nitely a progressive newspaper must have the support of the business men with paid advertising and of the general public with paid sub scriptions. — Southern O r e g o n Spokesman.
