The ideal season of the year is upon us again, and
thousands of people are taking advantage of the pretty
Sundays to motoi about the neighborhood in which they
live. Nature is putting on her spring dress, and displays
something beautiful and attractive along every road that
a car can be driven. If it is not something bright and
beautiful growing within handy reach along the high
way. then it is something attractive growing in some
one’s yard.
There were many complaints last spring of depre
ciations around Vernonia along about the time the motor
ing season opened—cases of valuable fruit trees being
broken and damaged while in bloom, of yards being
entered in the absence of the families and flowers ruth
lessly snatched away or uprooted. We do not feel that
our town people were entirely guilty of this; we want to
believe it was the work in every instance of motorists
from other sections who were driving in the region from
which the offenses were reported. But regardless of
whoever it was, it is the wrong thing to do. Love of
nature and pride in our state should be strong enough to
stop the breaking and tearing up of trees and shrubbery
along our highway, and common sense ought to teach
anyone that they have absolutely no right to enter the
yard of another and take and destroy even a blade of
grass that is growing there. If it is not stopped it will
lead to serious consequences, and maybe a tragedy too
shocking to contemplate. And it will also mean such
widespread destruction that the next generation will
curse us for—the des. auction of the natural beauty of the
community in which we live anad which we should feel
under moral obligation to help keep beautiful.
WHERE IT GOES
Whether we farm or not, we are dependant upon
farms, so that is why it ought to interest everyone in Ver
nonia to know that experts have just figured out where
every penny of a farmer’s dollar goes. Hundreds of
farm homes were included in a census recently taken,
and from which a general estimate was made. It showed
that food, rent and fuel are practically the only items
directly provided wholly or in part by the farms. Twenty-
six cents of each dollar spent by the farm family goes to
the clothier, drygoods man, shoe dealer and milliner.
Another 23 cents is divided between the grocer and the
butcher, while auto upkeep, coal and other running ex
penses cut out another slice of 21 cents.
A dime of each dollar spent by the farmer’s family
goes into school expenses, reading matter, vacation trips
lodge and church support. The doctor, dentist and drug
gist together get seven cents out of the dollar bill, while
four cents goes on household goods, sewing, laundry sup
plies and canning equipment. Life, health and fire
insurance eat up another four cents, and the other four
cents goes for tobacco, candy and haircuts.
You will observe, of you study these figures, that a
pretty generous slice of the faim dollar has to be spent in
town. This shows us that the towns of this country are
as dependent on the farms for prosperity as the farms are
dependent on the towns. So, taking the two together, we
have a mighty good reason why there should at all times
be perfect harmony between town and farm.

The insanity defense of various criminals is getting
on the nerves of the patient public. Girls murder their
mother and “get by” on a well paid lawyer’s plea. Jazz
boys murder and plea insanity, mail robbers, highway
men and all use the plea. And now comes “Inch and
a quarter Jimmy,” claiming to be crazy and not respon
sible. Rats, no wonder the public is getting disgusted.
Suppose if all the Vernonia Bootleggers were arrested
they would plea the insanity defense.

A man’s job is his best friend. It clothes and feeds
his wife a d children, pays the rent and supplies them
with the wherewithal to develop and become cultivated.
The least a man can do in return is to love his job. A
man’s job is grateful. It is like a little garden that
thrives on love. It will one day flower into fruit worth
while for him and his to enjey. If you ask any successful
man the teason for making good, he will tell you that
first and foremost it is because he likes his work; indeed,
he loves it. His whole heait and soul are wrapped up
in it. His whole physical and mental energies are
focused on it. He walks his work, he talks his work, he
is entirely inseparable fiom his work, and that is the
way every man woith his salt ought to be if he wants to
make his work what it should be and make of himself
what he wants to be.—Geribaldi News.
