TIIH Millie new your is unily lioppin-r to join the old years of tliu jstisi; the days sliili) by, then; is no stopping, our days are liiiK'h too good to last; soon we must do our Christmas shop piiifl, time goes so last, time goes so fast! The new year came, with ringlels curly, mid on his lips a ehecr-up song, that hearten ed e'en the sore and surly, and showed I hem that their grouch was wrong; but soon we'll do our shopping early time whoops along, lime whoops along! The new year did some wholesome bragging about his pep and puneh anil vim, but soon we'll see his step is lagging, and he'll have spavins on each limb; and then we'll see him sadly dragging his carcass lo the boneyard grim. So to tho shadows we are wending a little older every day; each flying hour some gray hairs lending to our old domes, already gray, and bringing nearer us the ending of , hope and dread, and work and play. Kaeh flying minute makes us older, and plants new ail ments in our frames; some new rheumatics in the shoulder- where once we pressed against the hames or gout in feet that now are colder than when they danced in youthful games. Ah, well, gad stooks, we've had our inning, we old, old gents and gaffers gray, and, like the year, in our beginning, we put up many kinds of hay; and now that our white locks are thinning, we must give youth the right of way. CHILD FEEDING FUND Tho Child Feeding Fund continues to grow and word lias been received from Portland that the drive In this state will continue until February 1st. Whether or not an organized drive will be instituted In Jackson county to sociiro the county's quota of $0000 will probably bo detormiued tills week. Tho Mull Tribune will continue to re ceive contributions until February 1st or such time us an organized drive is instituted. As previously announced tho Mall Tribune fund is an entirely voluntary fund and will be so conduct Be Loyal to Your Home Town Stick to your own homo town. Make it the best and cleanest in tho state. Tho smaller it Is, tho better a chance it lias to grow. This is tho advice given in an address boforo tho Cor- vallls Conunorclnl club last Tuesday by Herbert Cnthbeit, executive secre tary, Pacific Northwest Tourist associ ation. Among other things Mr. Cuth bort said: The prosperity of a state as a wliolo ""-" -"'" , ,, , .,,., tgor boosters for their homo town, mends upon the. prosperity of ouch." . , . depends upon the. prosperity individual part of it. It is not suffic ient that the larger cities should In crease In noDiilation and In the volume of business transacted in them, it Is of equal. It not greater, Importance that every small community Increase in population, In production and in general business. If every rural community can pro duce more, can procure nu-ro settlers. more residents, it will mean more local prosperity, a grcutor buying pow er, and will add to tho wholesale busi ness and general commarco of the larger cltlos, hence tho ontlro state will advance and prospor. It Is tho aim of tho Pacific North west Tourist association to develop every portion of the stalo from within as well as from without. Thoro Is no buttor way oT doing this than to seek to create il forward movement In every community, no matter how smull it may bo. Tho starling point ror such a move- In the smaller communities determine to stick to his own homo town, to grow up with It, and to become a booster for II. It is belter to bo a prominent citizen In your own community than to lose your Identity In a big city.- If wo can eradicate from tho minds of the residents, nnd particularly of the chil dren, tho idea that there aro greater opportunities, nnd that It is plensuuler to live In a large cily than in their own town, the foundation of the future prosperity of tlTat town Is already laid. There is a grave and fundamental danger not only to tho well being of tile smaller communities, but to the state as a whole, if this attitude of mind is not changed, a danger so great that when It is seriously considered, it is appalling. During my trip east I heard one speaker make the statement (hat nine ty years ago tho population of the United States In the largest cities was IVi per cent of the whole, and !fMi per cent in the smaller cities and rural districts. Twenty years ago the lar gest cities had grown to :(3 percent. while today they have 00 per cent. It Is estimated that If Ibis rate of exodus from the country district Into the lar ger cities is maintained, in twenty yeurs SO per cent of the entire popula tion will be In the larger cities, leaving tho rural towns and districts almost without population. Ho also slated that In a public school In one of the smaller cities all the boys and girls who contemplated remaining there al ways were asked to put up their hands. Fifteen per cent of them did. Ho asked those w-io contemplated nt some future time leaving their home town and district to live In the larger cltlos to raise their hands, and S5 per cent of them raised their hands. Ho also stated that the business of theso rural districts, through the actlv Itlea of the mall order houses, was go lug to the larger cities not in thoir PASSES $1100 IRK ed. If an organized drive is put on, there will be a soparato fund started and another collection agency UBed. Today the fund passes the $1100 mark, the new contributors being list ed below.

Godwurd '6.00 Anonymous 5.00 Total $1,139.35 own state, but to other stutes of the union, In the same proportion. Our association wishes to inaugurate a campaign throughout this state and i..e state of Washington that will stop this oxodus of population and of busi ness, and I believe that remodiOB can bo applied which will offectuully do this. 1 have already suggested ono means, and that is by having tho citizens themselves become more loyal and blg- I suggest Unit they, in turn, commence a campaign in their towns for u clean or, a more attractive, a mora up-to-date town, und that they bo tho sponsors for u development movement such as they havo never yet attempted; that they endeavor at tho samo time to make it attractive to the young peoplo and tho children, to try and teach them that there is no better place in which to live and In which to enjoy life than with their parents and amongst their friends in their own home town and district. 1 am going to take the liberty or suggesting some of tho means by which this can be done. There are many ways which will suggest themselves to such a commit- too. 1 might montion just two or three. Tho painting of their homes and stores that require paint, the cleaning up of ovpry yard and every vacant lot which needs It, the straight ening of all fences that are good and tho renewing of all fencos that uro 'l"PlltoU and an eyesoro and plant lug of every front yard with shrubs, or flowers, and tho offering ot small prizes for tho best Improvement, that has boon made during tho year in nil matters of this kind. The committee might appoint an Arbor day and havo tho schools tie claro a holidny ot that day by which tho citizens and children as a whole can plant trees along the streets and highways running through the town and in beautifying public or semi public places. I don't claim that this can bo done all in ono year, but it can be started, and If this progressive movement Is carried on. It will not bo long before that town Is entirely changed and has become a thing of beauty und a delight to those who live in It, and to those who puss through it Now, ns to Increasing tho business of Hint town. Let every fctorekeeper Afraid of Pneumonia Took Vinol Mrs. Mary 1,1-ek of 82 North San San Jose. Calif., writes Pedro street, as follows: "A neighbor recommended Vinol and I ttwk it for a hard cough which was accompanied by pleurisy. I was afraid I might havo pneumonia. I tliutl some remedies and physician's medicines, but did not soem to gain very much. I do housecleaning and work in the fruit harvest during the season. 1 took four .bottles of Vinol and began to gain from the vtry first dysos, and am now feelinf? fine. I think Vinol is one of tho best reme died." If more people took Vinol when they began to feel out of sorts, run down and otherwise debilitated, there would be fewer cases of long sieges of tllni'ss. Medford Phnrmaey, Main at Cent nil. Medford, Ore., st-lls and i- minuend Vinol, Adv. practically throw all his goods out on the side walk, clean up his store, fix his shelves and his show windows, paint them, if necessary, and lcalso mine the store, and then put them back in a systemlzed and methodical manner so that to his customers and to strangers his store has taken on the appearance and attractiveness of any store its size in the larger cities. Let III in sell as far as he can at tho same price that the people would have to pay elsewhere. Let him carry an up-to-date line of goods, even though his quantities may be very small, but wherever ho has a small line of goods, let him put the greatest possiblo stress on the fact that ho can procure In tho shortest possible time anything that he does not happen to have In stock, just as well us if the peoplo themselves, and much belter In fact, ordered It from the mail order bouse. , Wherever possible let the store keeper put someone younger than him self, or some other person, behind tho counter for as many hours as possiblo during the day and let him drive out amongst tho farmers and country resi dents, make tlie.r acquaintance, tell them that he has an up-to-date, attrac tive store, that to buy from him means the up-building of tho community In which they live, and that more pros perity In their community means more prosperity for the people he is calling upon, the increase in the value of their real estate and of their holdings, so that he and they can bo one In the un building of the trade and business of their own community. It there is a newspaper in the com munity, lot the businessmen support it. Don't lot its existence depend upon outside advertising which' lures busi ness away to other centers, but see to t that it carries every inch of adver tising that business men and local cor porations can stand so that its readerB may be educated and informed of the possibilities of doing business at home. Buy your paint, your varnish, the materials and tools required in the im provements I have suggested, in your home city, and bought by your dealers from wholesalers In your own stato, and manufactured, If possible, within the state. Now, as to making the town more desirable as a place in which to live for tho young people. Let this com mittee invite a few of the most prom inent women in tho town and dis trict to form ono or more social clubs by which tho women may become acquainted with each other, may in augurate social parties, social teas, little dances, the dances that are wnolcsome, in private houses rathor than In public halls; where the chil dren may bo safe and may enjoy" friendships one with nnolhor, friend ships which once formed may last a lifetime, and which may do more than anything else to keep them in their home towns. Let tho whole community inaugurate athletic sports, establish tennis courts, bowling greens, baseball and football grounds nnd have their youngsters playing at something in nn organized and healthy way. Keep their minds and their bodies busy, either nt work or nt play, from daylight to dark. And, then, let each ono of these communities intermingle with their neighbors, all having tho same thought tho samo ideas, the same objects nnd institute nn Interchange of social fea tures by having combined dances, com bined parties, so that they will add variety and change to their weekly so cial life, and institute friendly compe titions in athletic tennis, etc., be tween picked groups from each com munity.
