the HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, ÖREGGN. THE HERMISTON HERALD Published every Friday at Hermiston, Umatilla County, Oregon, in the heart of Eastern Oregon's great irrigated alfalfa fields. By the Herald Publishing Company. IDLE DOLLARS M. C. Athey, Editor Entered . In every community there are thousands of idle and unproductive dollars. 'Idle dollars may represent value but they hare no value to their owners nor the com munity until they are put in motion. 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. We shall be glad to furnish further in formation. Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co R. A.

AND WE NEED The year 1921 is before us. What we of this town and com munity accomplish in the next twelve months will depend mainly upon us, upon the manner in which we grasp the opportunities that are open to us. There is no occasion for becoming alarmed over the present decline in commercial activities. The country is undergoing a period of readjust- ment, which is quite necessary and for the best, but the old ship is not going to hit the rocks, or even cruise in dangerous waters. Europe charges us being a nation of commercialista, and perhaps it is true, and to our credit. Commercial- ists, and keen on annexing the coin of the republic, and of other count ries, and are not given to asking other people to support them in idle ness. Throught the coming year wc should utilize our commercial instinct to the fullest extent. Our fertile soil is full of wealth and all that is required is to reach down and dig it out. Our factories, and our mills, and all of our varied yankee enterprises are capable of vast production of art icles that are in demand the world over. We have more money than ever before in our history, and are able to finance any undertaking. We have will power and the in itiative to accomplish that which wr undertake. We have health, and energy, and perservance, and the knowledge nec- cessary to the achievement of success In our undertakings. . And we have opportunity. But there are a few things we need and without which our successes will not be the marvels expected from us. We need enhanced confidence one in another. We need to do a full day’s work in exchange for a day’s pay. We need a more direct market from producer to consumer. We need to forego the insane de sire to get rich in a day, and learn to become satisfied with a fair and reasonable accumulation of this world’s goods. We need to follow more closely the teachings of the Golden Rule. In the year that is before us we of this community should use every ef fort to achieve even greater successes than have come to us in the years that have flown, but those successes hould be such as will rebound to the credit of mankind and to the allevia- tion of the ills of humanity. THAT RESOLUTION • Making any new resolutions this year? Some make them by the whole ale and break them as fast as they ire made. Others manage to live fairly clean ives without making them at all. But there is one resolution which would be of great benefit to every person in this community. Resolve to be a reasonably fair at tendant at church on Sundays for the next twelve months, and live up to your resolution. But if you are not In sympathy with resolutions, go to church any way. You are welcome. All are glad to see you, and you are urged to come again. You learn things with which you io not come in contact in any other place on this earth. The lessons you learn there are valuable to you in your home life, in your business affairs, and in your daily contact with mankind. It is the one door in Christendom which opens freely to all people alike. It is open to you. Will 1921 see you there?
