TIIKRK was a time when hunk was a synonym for boost. In that
tiny jiromolion was leiliiuiitrl.y regarded as !I0 per cent prom
ise and ten per cent pcrl'onmince, ami highly colored pamphlets, painting-
impossible 1'aiiidises, were sent by the car load all over the
country.
That day has passed, although some people don't seem to realize it.
As a professional publicity man said at a meeting in Spokane, the
other day: "The Pacific Northwest is just recovering from the ef
fects of apropo;:andn of romantic fiction. Thousand dollar an acre
profits, without work, harvesting dollar bills between the trees, with
out an overhead, have played out. Even promoters have come to
realize honesty IS the best policy, that to keep within hailing distance
of the truth is not only good morals, but the best business. The preju
dice in the east, against the west's so-called booster literature, can't
be overcome in a day, 'but conversion is gaining ground, and it is
gaining ground because the publicity men as a whole, arc cutting out
the flim flam and getting down to solid facts."
That is absolutely true. Octling settlers under false pretenses is
the poorest sort of business. For not only is the individual settler dis
satisfied and disgruntled, bill be aids as a culture ground for the
itinerant knocker. and the job of (earing down is always easier than
the task of building up.
All of which is pertinent to the suggestion Hint the local press
print no reports of frost damage. Eoeal ranchers and officials of the
Fruit (irowcr's League went to considerable lengths to secure it
weather forecaster here to aid in fighting the frost menace. The en
tire Oregon delegation in Washington was called in to assist, ami the
negotiations and results were published broad cast.
This service was secured through government aid, because an im
portant part of the federal service to farmers, is protecting crops,
reporting crop damns', and Riving the country an accurate view of
the general crop situation, from wheat to potatoes and from cabbages
to fruit-
It seems rather absurd under the circumstances to print no results
of this service. It. seems eipmlly ubsui'd to pretend frost here can do
no damage. This paper has been careful to print no opinions of its
own. It has scrupulously depended upon the reports of Forecaster
Young on one hand, and County Agent ("ate on the other. Hut our
critics apparently maintain, that either we should print nothing, or
only print what they like Ui read.
Well, when the truth can't be told about this valley without injury
when this paper can't print the facts about the conditions in this' val
ley from official sources without harm, then we shall quit printing a
newspaper and turn our attention to railroad folders and colored pain
phlefs. As we have stated editorially, we have no fear of the 11)21
crop, the Valley could lose !)() per cent of its blossoms and still have a
bumper, and to the anvil chorus we give the merry "IIa Ha," but we
m-e not going to suppress reports of Forecaster 'Young1 and County
Agent Cate, as long as those officials are good enough to supply them.

What Does Your
Banker Think of the
Insured Man ?
"First, he is prudent," said
one hanker, "if the applicant for
a loan carries ample insurance
we know ho is providing for the
inevitable."
"Banks loan money on the
character of the man more than
on the proposition submitted.
Insurance guarantees that tho
man's plans will not be sacri
ficed if ho dies." suid another
I prominent banker.
"A man can create a larger
estate with a small amount of
money by taking life insurance
than any other way and he also
creates a compulsory saving."
said unothcr prominent banker.
"A man with a family should
no more go without life insur
ance than go without food anil
clothing. A single man should
take life insurance for he gets
it cheaper and the time will
come when he will bo sure to
need it," commented another
banker.
