Not so Vernonia—or at any rate it need not be. With a huge mill to furnish a payroll, merchants who are en terprising enough to reach out for all the trade within their radius, offering service and stocks to supplement their salesmanship, and a location sufficiently remote from a larger city, Vernonia is in a position to continue its vigorous growth. Yet even though Vernonia is more fortunate than towns which are dwindling, much can slip away that ought to be retained at home. The money that ought to be in circulation here may go elsewhere unless there is constant watchfulness. Hence the policy of The Eagle—Vernonia First. DEFEATING ITS OWN PURPOSE Emil Messing, our notorious postmaster who broke into the headlines last year by claiming to have seen the first robin during the month of February, had his eye glasses repaired this year and hasn’t noticed even a “birdie” on the golf course. The only objection Ellis Mc Graw sees to being a candidate for office is “campaign expen ses.” Judge P. Hill reads the class- ified ads in the Eagle more carefully since he became mar- ried several months ago. For Sale—in our classified col-1 unins, you can find horses, cows, I chickens, baby carriages, and ! everything. Bill Culver says it pays to have a Scotchman in charge of the meat department.

No doubt the reasoning of the proponents of the measure is that of a man whom the writer once heard' in a meeting ten years ago to celebrate the passage of the Eighteenth amendment. “The next step will be the abolition of tobacco,” he declared. Liquor is injurious, such folks say, hence prohibition. Tobacco, especially the cigarette, is also harmful, hence outlaw it as well. Yet they do not realize that there is an essential difference between the two. Cigarette fiends may, indeed, smoke themselves into an early grave, but they do not (if they partake of nothing worse) scatter] destruction on the highway because their befuddled brains are awhirl as they sit at their steering wheels. Nor are tobacco shops the centers for corrupt political influence, any more than the grocery stores that also carry one’s favorite brand of smokes. Are cigarettes harmful? Opinions differ, save as to their excessive use. If the Anti-cigarette league be- lieves that they are, it can resort to the propaganda that some advertisers have directed against sweets, Keep that youthful figure by reaching for—green vegetables, say. We hear a great deal to the effect that cigarettes are a boon to mankind. A little publicity to the con trary might accomplish something. But if the league wishes to foster the use of ciga rettes, a prohibitory law would be a most excellent device. Phone 721 Say that we must not, for no reason except a reformer’s disapproval, and we will. Add an unenforceable law to our already overcrowded statute books, the more the merrier. However, there is little likelihood that the voters will approve. The cigarette has the jump on its enemies. ., . _ a The Prosperity of a community is not measured by population, but by its civic and commercial progress. j Good Foods A handful of workers achieve more than a city full of drones. Team work is what counts in everything. A prominent football coach recenly said: “Give me a team of average ability who will work together each with the other and all for the team and I will win over any team made up solely of individual stars.” Individual ability makes great men—shin ing lights, but it is mass co-operation of energetic men of civic spirit, home pride and community enterprise that builds a town’s progress and prosperity. Men of this community, be ye more than mere residents—be citizens.
