E ARE very fond of music, and at one time greatly enjoyed dancing to good old time music—sometimes getting-to bed late the morning after the night before. Wouldn’t mind seeing one of those dances again and be lieve we could “swing our Partner right and left” with as much gusto as of yore. • But now the “Master’s Voice” ordains that ye light fantastic evolves to a wiggle or hoochie choochie resemb ling a St. Vitus patient suffering with the itch. The “Dance Masters” (we would hate to claim one of them as our master) have created a new dance. A silly, ridic ulous, halfwitted wiggle, that all brainless flappers and no-account Sheiks in the country will try to produce. It is described as “Shivers and wiggles, starting ®t the toes and going over the limbs and body.” Listen to it, you sensible people, and pass judgement.

Has the enlightened (?) world gone dippy? Oh, bonafide member of the state militia. This new law goes for the good dance of yesterday, and for decent clothes, into effect the first of next January, and means that if and for real music. Those days will return, because they irresponsible Georgians ket ahold of pistols after that are not “old fashioned”, only they are “real” instead of date it is apt to prove costly for the dealer who did the “sham”. Miusic will always be music and common de- selling. We will always contend that no good can cune cency will rule sensible people. from the promiscuous carrying of firearms. Any man with a pistol in his pocket, is a menace to the community, unless he isan officer of the law, because he never knows when he may become quickly engaged in an argument and, with a pistol handy, a tragedy is sure to follow. Let’s have a law like the Georgia law in every state in the union. AIR time has arrived and for two months County and State Expositions will amuse, instruct and enlighten many thousands from rural districts and cities alike. We never tire of big pumpkins, tall corn, fancy pillows, Jer sey bulls, calf clubs, farm implements- rabbits and hairy legged stalions. Greshem has just finished the most suc cessful of Multnomah County Fair ever held. Next month Columbia County will hold its Fair on the new grounds near Deer Island, and we should all attend to help make it a big success. The County Fair is a fixed institution that time has not changed with its modem devices. While the new inventions are always displayed they will never overshadow the products of the soil. The domestic ani mals and home cooking will always draw the crowd. Hats off to the County Fair—the big American Institu tion. F W BUY TIRES NOW! S • ♦ OW, if you had only been smart enough to have thought of making auto tires larger and not pumping them up so hard you might have been the baloon tire king and collected a few million dollars. It was a sim ple thing to think of» and yet it didn’t come until 40 years after rubber tires were invented. There are numerous other inventions equally as simple, and fully as valuable to he inventor. We have in more than one Vernonia boy the making of a real inventor. Don’t discourage him. Don’t scold him and insist that he is only wasting his time and ought to be paying more attention to “something useful.” He may not bring forth anything of value to himself or the outside world, but if he does not he won’t be the first one to fail. And if he does it may be worth a million times the thought he put into it. It’s the simplest things that have made fortunes—so don’t lose sight of that the next time you start in to censure a boy for ‘.‘tin kering around,” N AST year crude rubber was selling at 17c a pound. Today the auto tire manufacturers of this country are payisg $1.19 a pound, and there is a new report that it is going to climb still higher. England controls the rub ber market of the world. A year ago she had 52,000 tons in storage; now it is said the supply has dwindled to less than 4,000 tons on hand. So long as she continues her rubber export restrictions America is going to have to pay her whatever she asks, and as long as she can get an enormous price it helps her to pay us what she owes us. Tire manufacturers over her have not been able to lay in a surplus, and are working pretty close to the edge. It’s a long way from Vernonia to the rubber plantations of British-owned Congo Free States. But if you want to see whether there is a close connection or not, go round and price an auto tire, and then ask what the same tire was worth this time last year. L away from home is a habit which usually does nobody any good but the mail order house. Buying B UYING at home is a habit which does a world of good to the buy ♦ * « A senous shortage of rubber on the world’s» market and the impossibility of quick in crease in rubber production has forced tire makers to set new and higher prices for the fourth time this year. And another increase is now being predic ted. • • • « BETTER ACT NOW! It is to your advantage to buy tires now, even though you may not need them until later. We will do the square thing by you and sell you only tires that give more miles per dollar.

Before the Vernonia stores became so numerous and so abundantly stocked there was some defense for the mail order concerns with their diversified stocks.
