IDLE DOLLARS
In every community there
are thousands of idle and
unproductive dollars. Idle
dollars may represent value
but they have no value to
their owners nor the com
munity until they are put
in motion.
BUY A BARREL OF FLOUR
The movement has been fostered
by the County Farm Bureau to buy
a barrel of flour, and buy it now.
The reason is this: Flour has
about reached its lowest price fot
some time to come. Wheat is down
to its lowest level and in the last few
days has commenced to climb the lad
der again, due to the fact that for
eign traders have purchased enough
flour and wheat at the low price to
make the commodity a scarce article
next spring. Big buyers have been
quick to realize this, and the price
began to go up at once.
Another reason for buying a bar
rel of flour is to make the article
sell now, so mills can begin grind
ing; so farmers can sell their wheat;
so they will have money enough tc
buy a bale of hay to feed their flocks
Buying a barrel of flour will have
its effect on us, the same as it will
in Pendleton. When the Pendleton
farmers are prosperous, they buy oui
hay. The idea is a very good one.
and our local people should take ad
vantage of it, and DO IT NOW.
BUY A BARREL OF FLOUR.
Today there is a pleasant and profitable
job for every dollar in the land. Homes
are needed—homes which will make
better citizens, better neighborhoods, a
better town—homes which will con
tribute indirectly to the welfare of
every man, woman and child in this
community.
Loans for home-building
are good investments. You
can select your loan and
keep in close touch with it.

owe a more sacred duty to their of

The child is entitled to health, to

America’s forests are gradually being depleted and
the distance between the remaining timber

SMALL PAPERS PATRIOTIC
The smaller city dailies and the
country weeklies are the great force
for good in developing the commun
ities they serve.
The big metropolitan dailies may
influence national affairs some but
it is the country community that de
termines things. I
Many people have formed the hab
it of merely scanning the headlines
of the big city dailies, while smaller
papers are read through.
In the recent election the contest
was between an extension of state
socialism and real Americanism, big
city papers boosting socialism.
The small city and country press
is patriotic and conservative, and
does not rush hostilities with other
countries that lead to war.
There are big metropolitan papers
that would force our country into
war with Mexico and Japan for what
they could make out of it.
