Don’t Let ‘Em “Gyp” You Doesn’t it cost you enough to operate your car as it is without letting “gyp” tire andac- cessoiy dealers lure you into their trap? When we sell you TIRES or TUBES we are not selling “seconds.” Every one carries a mileage guarantee—and we are here to make good if the tiresdon’t. If you buy from the cheap mail-order tire and accessory dealers you have to put up with what they send you. YOU WOULDN’T BE SATISFIED WITH “SECONDS” IN SUGAR OR MEAT.

A GOOD SLOGAN Editorial REACHING THE LIMIT • - — • Grants Pass chamber of commerce carries the fol T HE lowing slogan on their letterhead: “Buy Home Pro ducts—Keep Your Money at Home. You Never Get Another Chance at a Dollar Sent Away.” We cannot help but wonder whether the members of this chamber of commerce practice what their letter head preaches. If they do, then we are quite certain there is no outside laundry picking the cream of the business of that town without even paying a license for the privilege. We are also quite certain that there are not half a dozen bakery’ wagons unloading bread daily at the several grocery stores in that town. Yes, it is pretty reasonably certain that Grants Pass people get their washing done at home and as to their bread and pastries—we will bet a >5 hat that they, too, are baked in the home bakery.—Rainier Review. A \TNOUN( E.MENT has been broadcast by the greatest • > mail-order house in Chicago that it is going into the coal business and will take orders for coal, the same as it does everything else under the sun. The coal will be sold to lodges, churches* groups of neighbors or to any indiv-! niual who can use it in caiload lots, and of course the1 claim is made that the price cannot be met by regular dealers. Slowly but surely merchants in towns like Ver-i nonia are waking up to the steady inroads being made by mail-order houses, and now the coal dealers in smaller communities are going to feel the pinch. Sooner or later they must take the advise that this paper, and every other paper in the country, has been giving them for years— ARE WE GROWING sooner or later they must realize that they’ve got to stand together, tell the people of then community what they've SW homes going up in Vemonia, streets being rocked, got to sell- and then join hands with the papers in show the main street to be paved within 60 days, new ing those people that they are disloyal to tneir community school, sewer system, fire department, new >30,000 when they trade any where except at home. shingle mill under construction- new >30,000 plaining mill just completed, a >2,000,000 saw mill running day NOW YOU’RE SHOUTING and night and various minor improvements.

T. Scopes of Dayton. | Tennessee. The young high-school teacher who can give a simple lesson in bioligy and become a great nat ional menance is getting into the hall of fame on an uncomplimentary ticket. A New York man haa been con victed of having three wives and 25 children. Sing Sing prison will be a vacatio to him. THE NEW FORD JOKE. Mu le “What are you?” Ford—“I arn an automobile." Mule—"Gwan- If you are an automobile, I,m a horaa.” It ia a good idea to abolish poisen gas in war And the same goes for guns, bullets, shells and soldiers. A Minnesota Judge haa ruled that a man can’t make his girl give back the engagement ring. But the in-| atallment man can. A headline says the law punishes innocent meh, but the story doesn't tell where on earth it finds that kind As a method of dealing with the problem of the unemployed, why not pass a good stiff law against work ing ever three hours per day.

They lived there without paying taxes to the Chinese govern ment, and refused to be tried in Chinese courts. They ran the pail of the count!y they lived in about as they pleased and the Chinaman was treated as a poor, ignorant slave But now the woim has turned. China has seen the light, and America, England* France and all the rest are ob serving the handwriting on the wall. There are 400,000,- 000 people in China who can and will fight for her rights. So that makes it look like it’s about time for other nat ions to order their meddlers home, and to give to China the square deal she has always been entitled to—but never got. ONLY ONE OF OUR NEEDS needs a play ground. The number of small V -RNONIA children playing on our streets is a dangerous prac tice, especially when the streets are narrow and crowded wi;n traffic as the case is here. It is recognized that the chief need of a playground is to be mon* attractive than the street. It must not be a place where the parents will compel their children to play, but where the children want to play. Consequently, the point of having playgrounds erected with adequate equipment is particularly important. Base ball, swings- sand piles, slides and other attractions must be piovided so that the play space will be interesting to the child. Fatal accidents to children on streets and highways were 33 per cent of the accidents where the records were classified over the country. Active playground effort dur ing July and August will result in the saving of lives of children. Without this effort the facts that the schools are closed and the tendency of the children to play in the street will consitiute very definite hazards. THE U. S. NATIONAL big business deal in Portland that was noted A RECENT with much interest over the Northwest, was that last week whereby the United States National Bank pur chased the Ladd and Tilton bank. The old Ladd and Til ton bank has in the past had the names of many Vernonia and Nehalem valley people as depositors; the bank was woman gives us the impression that the only reason she married her hus band was to have him around where she could devote all of her time to telling him what ails him.
