Aurora Obsei rver $1.25 a Year ^Published Every Thursday AURORA, MARION COUNTY, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 25, 1919. V O L . IX . J, M. Will Harvests First Crop of Mint UNCLE SAM SAVES SAVAGES J. M. Will is harvesting his crop of j mint, and will send it to Parkerville where the Manning Bros, will distill the oil for him. His crop is not heavy I as the mint roots he set out last soring ! were not first class, but next year i he expects to have a good stand of I mint and a larger crop. His mint is j planted on the low ground on Mill Creek j near town, and apparently finds itself right at home. Much of the Pudding River bottom land should be adapted to the growing ot mint. At Parkerville and other places up the Valley growers are getting 50 to 60 pounds of oil per acre, and the Wil lamette valley growers have pooled! their mint oil and are holding out for $$ per pound. There are only 15 or 201 growers m the valley, and something j over 2000 pounds of oil represents the] amount in the pool. Negl ect Of Last Year Cause of Hop Shortage The savage lives within his in come. Do you? But he lives only for today. Do you live only for to day? The savage doesn’t look ahead and he doesn't get ahead. Are you in the savage’s class or are you looking ahead and getting ahead? , The savage is no better bff today than he w^s yesterday. Are you? The savage will be no better off next year than he was last year. Will you? War Savings and Thrift Stamps will put you in the look ahead and the get ahead class. Save! <(Buy W. S. S, regularly.. War Savings Staihps and Thrift Stamps will make you better off to morrow than you were today—bet ter off next year than you were last year. Save! Buy W. S. S. regu larly. War Savings Stamps are food when crops fail; a pleasure trip when you want it; the first payment on a home; the beginning of a col lege education; a start in life; a rainy day fund. Buy them regularly from your bank—your Postmaster—any War Savings Stamp agent. War Savings Stamps pay you 4 per cent interest, compounded every 3 months. Your War Savings Stamps are redeemable at your Postoffice with accrued interest on ten days’ notice to your postmaster. The longer you hold War Savings Stamps the more money they make for you. The rather unexpected shortage in the hop crop may be attributed mostly | to the neglect of the yards last year, is j the opinion of most growers in this section. The hopeless outlook during j the growing period of 1918. led most j growers to give their hop yard “ the once oyer” treatment, with the result that the 1919 crop has fallen 20 to 25 per cent below expectations. Though the growers have given their yards the best of care this season,it is almost im possible to bring neglected yards back to first class, condition in one year. | Mrs. J. S.

First Areoplane Letter Arrives At Aurora The New Chevrolet 490 Touring Car is a car that is as enjoyable to drive as it is to ride in. The controls are conven iently arranged and simple to operate. It has a new type of spring, new crowned fenders, adjustable head lamps and many other improvements. , The front door is cut back of the for ward edge of the front seat cushion, thus giving cosier entrance into the front seats. The seats are deep, roomy and neatly upholstered in the new and improved ‘‘Straight” Pipe style. The motor is of the well known Valve in head type which has been used in Chevrolet from the begining. * It is economical to operate and power enough for all needs and emergencies. The Price remains the same.' Deliveries can now be made. Shimmin Bros. NO. 29 Farmer H ands Out Glenn McGonegal Has iBondl Issue Meets County Library Wanted Fine Trip To Gay Paris J ; Opposition By Many Petitioners Good Advice An Aurora farmer who has acquired success, by the use of his head as well as his hands, has ideas of his own con cerning high prices, He declares that this is the time to speed up production —not a timé for strikes, agitation, and extravagance. He says that the wage earners of the country constitute the chief market in which all producers must dispose of their goods, We mustoroduce for our selves and for others what we require, such as food, clothing, shelter. When enough of such things are produced their price will fall to a point where all necessities are.supplied, and the work ers have money le f t . for other things. Thus new demands > are created, f Sup plying these furnishes .further employ ment and additional wages. ® So the whole course of economic life revolves about production. Increasing produc tion not only reducing the cost of liv ing but increases employment, and sets free money to buy things not actual necessities. This Aurora farmer’s idea may be stated briefly—work hard, spend wise ly, save regularly, reduce waste, avoid extravagance, invest securely. Thus shorter working hours will be possible and wages will be really (and not nominally) higher. But his best advice is this:—Buy war savings stamps and KEEP them!
