They have done enough to entitle them to care in their declining years. Even a horse deserves that, and usually gets it. There is no humiliation in a pension, and the knowledge that it would be provided would remove the shadow of fear that hovers darkly over many an old soul who now sees only the dreaded poorhouse ahead. Industry, mills, factorier,. Vernonia with her down-hill pull to Portland, needs, wants and believes offers great opportunities for a pulp and paper mill, chair and furniture fac tory, brick factory and woodenware factory. Gardeners ought to buy their seed supplies as early in the spring as posisble, after the new seed cata logs have been received. In doing so one can usually get seed of the varieties desired instead of getting substitutions as is sometmes the case when the seed order s sent in late. Most of the new catalogs are now available, and growers ought to have their seed on hand after having made an inventory of their necess- ary supplies, advises the O.A.C. experiment. Speaking of the rise in the price of gas, John I). Jr. gives $500,000 to the cathedral of St. John the Divine. This looks like a modern version of soaking Peter, to pay Paul, so to speak. Barnyard manure reinforied with 20 to 30 pounds of arid phosphate I>er ton gives good results especially on Oregon soils that have 'been cropped for some time, says the ex periment station. In the older dairy sections of the state, acid phosphate is used in the gutters and stables. A hand full of acia phos phate is scattered behind each stall and in that way becomes thoroughly mixed with the manure. In this way manure is not only reinforced with phosphorous, but the land plas ter in the acid phosphate nuites with the amonia preventing a loss of trogen. uauKau PENSION OR POOR HOUSE ------ I Indiana is considering a plan abolish her poorhouses and replace them with two institutions to care for helpless nnd homeless old peo ple, The ordinary pauper would ceive a small pension, enough make him a welconme guest in I home of some friend or relative.

TWO SIDES TO IT When wheat passed the two-dollar mark a few weeks ago newspapers reaching Vernonia from the outside world told of numerous instances in which men had “cleaned up” for- tunes. But none of them carried a word about men who had lost their lifes savings in trying to beat the game. We will always hear of the winner, but the loser, with nothing left but his pride, prefers to keep the ill-fortune to himself. And, with only the picture of the winners before them, other men will plunge in, risk all that they have and all they can borrow—and usually lose. Some of these days gambling in the necessities of life will be stopped. Men will not be permitted to fix the price of the bread that goes into the mouths of the people, and neither will they be allowed to gamble on whether or not that price will go up or down. The country is going to be wholly civilized some of these days, but not until the wheat pit and the stock exchange have been aban doned. , IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SELL, RENT OR TRADE AND WANT QUICK RESULTS, PLACE AN AD IN OUR CLASSIFIED COLUMNS 4 Emmott & Culver VERNONIA MEAT MARKET Choice selections of fresh killed « Steer Beef.
