The kind of man we are thinking of has a sneering, contemptuous re­ mark to pass about every public spir­ ited citizen who really accomplishes anything for the good of the com­ munity. He brags a great deal about himself, but no one else can under­ stand what he has to brag about. He doesn’t want to do any work in an organization unless he can get about two doUars worth of credit for ten cent* worth of energy and thought. He seems to think that nobody else is onto him—that everyone judges him by hi swords and not his deeds. Now the modern psychologist Mys he is a man afflicted with an infer­ iority complex.

If it hasn’t, here are some facts that you may find interesting: A survey of farm values surround­ ing a city like ous was made recetnly. The average value of farms located within two miles from the city was $78.90. Those located from two to four miles out were valued at $70.20 an acre. The farms falling in the belt from four to six miles out of the city were appraised at $60.90, and those from six to eight miles at $58.20. Thus the farms located near the city were worth $20 more per acre than those located eight miles out. Why? Because it is worth money to be near good local markets, good places to trade, good schools and churches, and good entertainment. The farms eight miles out were just as good as far as soil, climate, and so forth were concerned. But the farms near the city were more de­ sirable—people would pay a premium to be located near town. If mere location with reference to the town effects land values to such an extent it follows that the kind of town has something to do with it. Naturally farms located near a live town are woth more than farms lo cated near a dead burg. And the thing that makes a town live is the support its business and civic insti- tutons receive from people living in­ side and nearby. Farms and city are interdependent these days. Farmers of Columbia county will profit directly in doing their bit to help make Vernonia a more prosperous and more progres­ sive community. by the Land Settlement Department of the Portland Chamber of Com­ merce during last week, being more than double that of two weeks previ­ ous.
