BUCK III NEBRASKA
Earl C. Brandeberry Impressed
With Home Support and Good
Roads Enthusiasm.
Earl C. Brandeberry returned Sat
urday evening from a Southern Ore
gon trip. After spending two or
three months in Nebraska this spring
Mr. Brandeberry is more than ever a
thorough Oregonian. He got some
good ideas in the cyclone state,
though. One thing is a tremendous
spirit of home support. He was most
ly at Hastings, a city of 15,000. Ev
erything was first Hastings, then Ne
braska all the time, a home boost
that was insistent.
Great attention has been paid there
10 good roads. They have them, and
keep them, through a constant sys
tem of improvement. The result is
that -the jitney service in antos and
tracks, covers the country. They
have regular truck service, as well as
auto service. They do big business iu
the smaller towns. Oregon can do
the same when our roads are put in
shape. After coming in touch with
such a spirit of home support, Mr.
Brandeberry says he has about made
up his mind to always look for home
made goods, to wear and products to
eat. Where everybody does it it
counts effectively.
