Scarcely 50 years ago residents of this section had
mighty little in the way of comforts and conveniences. To­
day they have labor-saving devises never dreamed of
then; they have the radio, the telephone and the tele­
graph to keep them in touch with the outside world; they
have railroad trains, autos and airplanes instead of slow-
going farm wgons nd buggies; they have music and pict­
ures and books and newspapers enough to bring enjoy­
ment every leisure moment of their lives. And, above ail,
they have greater medical science, to relieve pain and
prolong life, with modern doctors mastering and curing
diseases that were once considered certain death if con­
tracted.
This thing of lookin backward, or wishing for “the
good old days” is just a form of sentiment and the man or
woman thus expdessing themselves wouldn’t be happy
for an hour if they should suddenly be robbed of the com­
forts and conveniencesthe y now have. Stop and think
of the blessings you now’ enjoy and you’ll be heartly glad
that you were bom late T hese are the “best days” the

second.

ENLARGE THE ASYLUMS
HE insane asylumns wall soon be full of murderers in­
T
stead of insane patients. The crazy people can run the
streets—and there are lots of “nuts" at large. The new
crop that is attracting attention by their idiotic appear­
ance is confined to the masculine sex and is a late addit­
ion to the vasoline headed schiek that imagines he is
handsome in the “new oxford pants” or the “bags" as
they are known. The late ones measure 36 inches around
the bottom and would look better if worn by the modem
girl as a skirt. The poor boys are indeed pitiful looking
and how they must suffer when running at large unpro­
tected. Some big hearted polieceman- out of charity,
should shoot them to put them out of their misery, or a
job in the harvest fields to guide their minds in a more
sound channel.

rejoiced to learn that E. I. Ballagh of St. Helens has
been appointed Master Fish Warden. The honor was be­
stowed on Mr. Ballagh without any solicitation on his
part, and no mean part of the appointment is the fact
that it carries a $3600 yearly salary. We are glad of it.

the whole all kinds of crops are yielding more bountifu­
lly than the government predicted early in the spring.
With but two exceptions, this will be the biggest corn
year in the history of the nation. Winter wheat has suf­
fered, but spring wheat is fine. This year’s wheat crop is
short of 1924 but better prices are being advised to hold
as long as possible so as to cash in on another rise, which
seems almost sure to come.
Potato growing states report smaller crops than usua1
due to reduced acreage. But here, again, prices will make
up for the shortage. It seems to have been an off-year
for fruit crops, though some sections report better than
an average .
In his latest report Uncle Sam shows the per capita
production on American farms last year was $266. In oth­
er words, enough food was produced and sold to mean
$266 for each farm, big and little. This is ahead of 1923,
and this year promises to average still higher. The rail­
roads report record-breaking car loadings, more cars are
being used to move crops than at any simliar timein the
history of the country. In fact, all indications point to a
prosperous year for those who raise our food-stuffs and,
with unemployment conditions growing rapidly better-
the remainder f the year ought to see the entire country
enjoying a pretty fair measure of prosperity.

BETTER PROSPECTS
WORK AND BE HAPPY
OST people yearn for the day when they have ac­
M
quired enough of this w’orld’s goods so they may
live in ease and do just w’hat they wish. Then when they
succeed, the fortunate ones finds that they would rather
be at work, that they are only happy performing the tasks
to which they have been accustomed. Take, for instance
Lester Norris, W’ho has been earning his living by draw­
ing for a newspaper. Recently he married a Chicago heir­
ess worth many millions, the richest girl in Ccicago. She
has more than enough for the two to spend the remainder
of their days writhout a lick of work. But Norris doesn’t
want it that way. The honeymoon is over and he has
bought a small newspaper in Illinois, so he can draw pict­
ures for it ,and have something to occupy his time and
keep him busy. And if we know anything about it, he
certainly picked on a job that won’t give him very muoh
time for loafing.
WE’RE SATISFIED
EW York City has just taken a census of her pop­
N
ulation, and it shows a toital of 6,103-384, of more
people than can be counted in Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston and San Francisco combined. No other city now
approaches it in population and, to tell the truth, no oth­
er city appears to be sorry along that line. New Yorkers
are happy, even though their happiness comes largely
through igonrance of the blessings that they could en­
joy if they lived in smaller cities, or even in towns the
size of Vernonia. It is a case of “what they don’t know
