For the first time since he

comes to the Joy theatre Satur

Rod plays a young man who
lives well if not wisely, and» is
finally forced to capitalize his
talent for dancing to earn a livli-
hood. Sue Carol has the leading
feminine role.
Naturally we who live in this vicinity are in

SUPPORT YOUR HOME TEAM
The high school basketball team have won
every game in the league schedule this year.
Only three more games remain, these are to
be played away from home.
The players are confident they can win the
remaining games which would mean, being county
champions, but what they need and wish for is a
good turnout to travel to Rainier tonight, to wit
ness them play, and give them their whole hearted
support.
. And the following game, that is the game
which they fear the most. This is the game in whch
every loyal Vernonite who takes pride in the fact
that the local team is the only undefeated team in
the county, will travel to Scappoose next Monday
night, February 25, to root, cheer and yell for Ver
nonia high.
Rainier tonight Scappoose Monday, let’s go,
the roads are good, the boys need our support.
STAMPEDE
Last year when Vernonia celebrated its Fourth
of July, by staging a stampede, the city received
more publicity from the Portland papers, and other
cities, th in if the Chamber of Commerce had spent
.$1000 to herald the town to the four corners of the
earth.
With $700.00 in the stampede fund, it would
be a good idea for the business men to hold an
other celebration of this kind this summer, as no
soliciting would be necessary, and with the ex
perience gained from last year and the proper man
to head the organization in the capable manner in
which C. W. Reithner handled it last year, the
stampede should be a success.
I tut next month should be the time to lay plans
for this celebration, so that sufficient time for pub
licity could be had.
A MARKET FOR THE FARMER
No better market for the farmer exists than
Vernonia.
M< t of the products consumed in this city are
raised in other valleys.
What a great inducement it is for a farmer to
raise vee. tables and other products needed for the
tables when he knows, that he can dispose of his,
products : t the market price, and in the nearest
town which in this case would be Vernonia.
But we find that merchants need protection
in thi manner. For instance, if the merchant is
buying from farmers throughout the Nehalem val
ley, he must know whether or not the farmer can
keep him supplied, especially when his demand is
to have a certain amount of this material on hand
at a given date.
in the past, different merchants have found
that by buying what ever the farmer brought in,
when they, the farmers found time to come to town
with the upplies, left the merchants at the mercy
of the fanner, as to the exact time in which they
could depend on being supplied with what they
needed, and it was necessary to purchase from Port
land and other commission houses because they were
dependable on shipments.
If we had a clearance house for the fanners
in Vernonia, where Mr. Farmer could call up each
day advising headquarters what he had to dispose
of, the store, in this city could readily find out what
portion of their orders could be filled, and in this
manner we could assist the fanners in this valley
to dispose of their wares which would also stimulate
business in town when he came to sell and purchase.
And in time with the encouragement that they
could easily sell, that which they raised for the
table and other purposes, in this city, we would be
sure to interest more people to farm in this locality,
and this would benefit the farmer, the merchant,
and the community.________________________

Dairymen Notes
A dairyman cannot afford to

disease, warns the experiment

abortion is advisable for all dairy
herds in the state.

HEALTH EXPERT EXPRESSES
OPINION ON PASTEURIZED MILK
Senator Copeland is a great believer in
pasteurization of milk as a safeguard to health
because, he said, while milk is the most com
plete food, and necessary to good health, it is
also very susceptible to contamination; he em
phasized the statement that there should only
be two brands of milk, good milk and bad
milk, and that bad milk or so-called Grade B
should not be for human consumption; he said
there are many so-called grades of eggs, but
there are really only two kinds, good eggs and
bad eggs, and only the good egg should be
eaten; that also when the stamp of approval
was given milk by health authorities that is
the safe milk to use, all other milk should be
discarded.
The senator stated that in his belief, the
people engaged in the dairy industry are over
looking a great opportunity by not using to
greater extent their health departments, and
other agencies, to tell the public the great bene
fit to health, and also the economy to be ef
fected by the use of more milk in the diet,
and that every person, including adults, should
use at least one quart per day.
