OUR CORRESPONDENTS CAMP CREEK Ruby Crabtroe THURSTON. Mrs. Waltor Edmlston DONNA Charles Heck COBURQ Elsie Anderson WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mrs. Clara Chltds Member of the. Willamette Valley Editorial Association. THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1917. GET READY FOR VISITORS Springfield will at an early date be the center of attraction fc Oregon Methodists. For six days she will be visited by several hundred ministers and laymen keenly interested in ev ery activity of Springfield and vicinity. Men from big towns and little towns will come, loolc us over, make mental, and spoken, com parisons with their home towns and go away to talk about it. Springfield has a rare oppor tunity for legitimate advertis ing of her virture. She has a chance to convince many visi tors that this is a good town and a good place in which to live. To do this our homes must have every outward appearance of neatness and thrift. Our peo ple must be cordial and pleas ant. Our streets must be clean and the several unsightly spots brushed up at an early date. This is the season of the year when things outdoors are at their worst and this is espec ially true at the end of this very dry season but yards can be cleared and weeds removed now as later, and the results will be gratifying. It is to be hoped that each and every citizen of Springfield will feel it his duty to make our city look its best during the coming convention. It should be a matter of pride and duty with each citizen. We all owe it to the community. COMMUNITY COOPERATION Did you ever hear the story of the 10 negroes who went out to hoe cotton? Nine of them started to work in one field while the tenth darkey commen ced In a field all by himself just over the fence in the next field. He hoed down one row and back on another. Then he look ed over the fence and saw the swath of nine clean rows made by the other workers. "Huh," he said, "nine niggers nine rows; one nigger, one row. Drat one nigger." And he climed over the fence and joined the other nine. This is a pretty good illustration of the difference between commun ity team work and trying to re ly altogether on one's individ ual effort. Where a whole neigh horhood is pulling together to accomplish certain thingB you usually find effort. If you, personally, have joined in the community effort you have not only gained your share of the good accomplished, but you have the satisfaction of know ing that your work has helped j all the others. After all, then, being actively interested in the wclfaro of your community is securing for yourself a share of tho advantages coming from the efforts of all those who havo helped make these advantages possible. Do you fully realize what the community In which you live means to you individually? If you are in a live, progressive community, it's ten to one the town that is your trade center is an "up-and-coming" place with good stores, good streets, good schools, good churches, aud good places of amusement. If your community is the oth er kind, then manifestly there is lacking the spirit of commun ity cooperation and your home town is lagging behind- listless, unprogressive. At present your local stores may not be as large, or as hand somely equipped as some of the big city stores, but you will a gree with me that your home merchants can not possibly en large or improve their business if they are not patronized. If you are interested in bringing about better local shopping fa cilities, it is squarely up to you, and other residents of your com munlty, to patronize home mer chants, thus keeping your mon ey where it will circulate in var ious channels for the improve ment of the community. There are only two possible reasons why a person should remain in any certain town or community; their duty demands it, or they simply like to live there. Isn't this true in your case? In either event, it is to your distinct advantage to do everything in your power to as sist in improving local condi tions. The community belongs to you and your neighbors, and you are necessarily governed by conditions as they exist. A Prosperous community is in every instance a desirable place in which to live, as it af fords its residents advantages which invariably are limited to and controlled by the amount of local commercial lactivity.
