This is the way they explain IL
They say we have two minds—a con
scious mind and an unconscious or
sulsconscious mind. In some people,
Uwj cmim, these two minds ar* work
ing against each other, and that th*
man himself hardly .know* what I* go
ing on in that subsconacious intellect
of his.
Now this subsconacious mind, in
the man w* ar* talking about, may
say to him: "You ar* interior to
these men who really amount to
something. You haven’t got th* eral
stuff in you.’*
But the ma^4 conscious minds,
tries to shunt down this disagreeable
voice buried deep in his being, Mys:
“Why, look at me—I’m the on* with
the brains. These so called men who
do things don’t look like much to me*
They are about like th* town—all no
good”.
“Ridiculous”, you My of this the

explanation you can find that will
tell how some of these fellows got
that way.

scheme of buying and distribution, it is our privilege to sell high quality mer
chandise at lower than prevailing prices, and in bo doing offer the consuming
public a service definite, tangible and continuous—THE SERVICE OF SAV

It is our pleasure, also, to instil into the minds and character of our personel
and establish and maintain in our stores, that air of cheerful promptness
and desire to please, so commonly lacking in other stores.

Has it ever occured to you that the
farmers of Columbia county as well
as the citizens of Vernonia have a
direct financial interest in the busi
ness lfe of our citizens?
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.
