this belief is perhaps exagoeiaied, we have to admit tha«.
the publicity and newspaper space devoted to college foot­
ball is sufficient to warrant such opinions. The antics of
college professors during the iuotball season also tends to
make outsiders believe that they place about as much val­
ue, or more, on a good football player than they do on a
student who shuns athletics for his studies.
We know of one boy who told his friends that he was
entering college mainly because he had for years wanted
to become a football star. In one year, or right after the
coach told him he was too small to make a good football
player, he was back home. It wasn’t an education he was
after, at all; it was an opportunity to become a football
star.
We would not for the world discourage the boy who is
ambitious to go to college. But if he is not going to col­
lege to get something that will help him in after life, in­
stead of something that will merely win him the cheers of
a football audience, he is wasting his time and money.
Athletics are necessary, but football, and baseball, and
rowing are secondary to a college education. Even if a
young man becomes a professional football player he is
good for but a few seasons, and at the end of that time
he finds himself up against a stem, hard world and with­
out a trade or profession. College football is a part of col­
lege life, and probably always will be. But the boy who
thinks it is the biggest part of it will find out to his sor­
row a little later on that he was dead wrong about it.

GIVE US A PAPER MILL
There has been much talk about another large saw mill
going to locate in Vernonia, but from investigations we
conclude it is only rumor. Vernonia, however, needs two
enterprises that we haven’t got. It would behoove the C. of
C. to write letters, and put effort and work into the job of
securing a Pulp and Paper Mill and a Brick Yard. We have
a down-hill pull to Portland markets and the waterfront;
we have the timber, the river and an ideal location for a
Pulp Mill and men who claim to know, say we have the
clay for a brick yard. Vernonia wants two things: A Pulp
and Paper Mill and a Brick Yard. Wood product plants
are needed and will come.

DOES IT PAY?
I
If you want still another answer to the old question,
“does advertising pay?” reflect on this: Wasn’t it adver­
tising that made the Victrola dog famous; didn’t it put
Sozodont and Pebeco on your tooth brush and a Gillette
razor in your hand, along with a cake of Ivory soap and
William’s shaving cream? Didn’t advertising put an Ar­
row collar around your neck and Holeproof socks on your
feet and Paris garters on your legs? Hasn’t it eased your
nerves with Spermint chewing gum, quieted your head­
ache with Aspirin and comforted your stomach with Cam­
pbell’s soups and Swift’s premium hams? Sit dowi and
take an inventory of what you’ve got on, or what you have
in the house and you will be surprised at the number of
things you buy simply because you are, through reading
ads, familiar with the brand.

EAGLE FEATHERS
DON’T BE HASTY
It is not fair to condemn all ministers because one goes
wrong, and neither is it fair to look with scorn on all pub­
lic officials because a cloud of suspicion has recently fall­
en across the pathway of Gov. Davis, of Kansas. Accept­
ing a bribe is a serious proposition any way you look at it,
but far more serious when it is accepted by a man elected
to the highest office in a state. The average Vernonia vot­
er knows that politics is a pretty crooked game the way it
is played nowadays, and more than one good man has
been “framed”. When enemies organize to “get you” they
usually do so regardless of cost. For that reason it is never
a very good idea to pass sentence before you have heard
all of the evidence. Even then if guilt is proven it should
not be taken for granted that all public officials are of the
same stripe. There are several hundred good, honest, up­
right citizens in Kansas, just as in any other state in the
union. So with only one or two of that number under sus­
picion, Kansas doesn’t need to hang her head in shame.
THE RIGHT START
When all is said and done, the
most dangerous word in the English
language is “yes”.
Suits with two pair of trousers are
now in demand, but what the average
Vernonia man wishes for is that they
would throw in an extra coat and
vest.
One thing that puzzles us is how
a girl can eat a tiny piece of toast
for breakfast and still be alive when
dinner time comes.
The old-time illustration of a bull
in a china shop has given way to a
congressman trying to solve our
foreign problems.
Our advice to Vernonia citizens is
to try to get all they are looking for
in this world. They may get some­
thing they’re not looking for in the
next.
