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.
WHY NOT BE AS PARTICUL-
ABOUT THE MONEY YOU
SPEND ON TIRES?

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

A \TNOUN( E.MENT has been broadcast by the greatest

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

L EADING
we get a fair idea of the truthfulness of the old ad
age that “chickens come home to roost.” For years the
people of other nations, Americans along with the rest
have had their foot on the necks of the Chinese. 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.
