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.

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 ""-" -"'"

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

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

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

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

titions in athletic tennis, etc., be
