Some day after a machine slides off the bridge and some are killed in the accident, then the place will be made safer. The bridge seven miles from Ver nonia, called the Hill Bridge by some, is the most danger ous we have in the county. It is a sharp turn, a blind turn, a slippery floor- narrow and weak banasters. -------- o-------- The Columbia County Fair this year, was pronounced a splendidsuccess, considering that it is the first year on the new grounds.

Each year we will grow and the Columbia County Fair will be one of the principal yearly events in the state. To the management and the fair board we extend congratula tions. It was well done. -------- o-------- Vernonia didn’t entirely forget that September nine was “Vernonia Day.” But Vernonia couldn’t celebrate on account of the entire main business streets being paved and traffic being detoured. Besides Vernonia is buying and equiping a new city park which is taking time, money and work. It was three years ago on September nine that the new Vernonia saw her first train and that the town was really started. The first celebration will long be re membered and next year on the ninth the city will show the state a real city. ------------ 0------------- DON’T BELIEVE IT ON'T believe the man or woman who says this is “a Godless age” and that folks nowadays care nothing about religion. It is true that there is more need for relig ion today than there ever was, but we believe that this demand ig being fully met. The average man is interested in religion, often to a deeper extent than you know, He doesn’t go around talking and bragging about his relig ion, but the average man tries to lead a good and honest life. That goes for the average woman and girl, too, Church statistics show increased membership- and there are other things to contradict the fellow who say swe’re living in “a Godless age.” Do not lose faith in your fellow man by believing it. He may not go to church as often as he should, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t leading a decent life. Turn a deaf ear to those who would crippple our moral life by painting disagreeable and untruthful pictures. -------- o-------- TIME TO CELEBRATE LL arrangements have been completed by the bankers of the U. S. for one of the greatest celebrations in the history of this nation—not a big jubilee, with fire works and brass bands—but a great gathering at which 22,000 out of 30,000 bankers are to be present. Citizens of Vernonia should be interested in it because it is going to show the wonderful progress made in the OR years we’ve heard about the drurgery and dreari ness of domstic life in rural communities. For cen turies the good housewife was condemned to human slavery in doing her part to make the old farm earn a living. But today the farms of this country are yielding an income, and the burdens of the women who live on them have been lightened. Not long ago the government picked out one county in northwestern Ohio in which to conduct a survey. It devel- ped that almost every farm house boasted a sewing machine. Out of 100 homes canvassed, the following con veniences were found: Automobiles, 66; sinks, 63; oil or gas stoves- 61; washing machines, 55; piano or organ, 38; phonograph, 33; gas or electric iron,32; telephone, 22; carpet sweeper, 13; bath, 12; fireless cooker, 3. Resi dents of Vernonia who study over this list for a few min utes will see how drurgery is disappearing from the farm home and how labor saving devices and modem conven iences are slowly but surely coming to relieve the woman of the rural district of back breaking toil. That was in an average county in Ohio. In many other states the percentage would be as great, or greater. Farm lighting systems and power from gasoline engines or dy namos are to be found now in every state in the union. And these are the things that are freeing the farm wife from the slavery that has already existed entirely too long -------- o------- At the meeting of the Oregon State Editorial associa tion last June, Mr. Frank Jenkins, editor of the Eugene Morning Register, said, “That he had observed that the most successful papers were those that used crime news profusely throughout the paper, but took a high stand against it in the editorial columns.” By successful he meant “Newspapers whose circula tion is an important part of their publication.” It is a sad commentary on human nature that the de tails of crimes and criminals furnish such an appeal to so many readers, but we opine that the appeal is not new to this generation. Ever since. Robin Hood waylaid the un- Wary traveler in the shady lanes of Old England- the public mind has grasped with avidity all tales of daring deeds committed beyond the pale oi law by ruthless and unscrupuless men. In our own day we have seen women willing and anx ious to crown with garlands the brow of f the dead de Tracy who won his way through the country some years ago by jreying upon the helpless and holding others at bay at h emuzzle of his gun. It is therefore scarcely to be wondered at that at this time the escapades of Murray and his pals have stirred up another epidemic of what we rightly call maudlin senti mentalism. . It is, however, unfortunate that the papers are allowed to cater to this taste. Better were it for the future of the race if all details of crimes were suppressed. Thoughts centered on heroic deeds and charitable works will never lead to crime nor the study of noble lives to acts of de- G*t the Re<l Crown Mileage Card at any “ RedCrown”pump.
