PATRIOTISM WILL BENEFIT
MERCHANTS, CONSUMERS
It’s patriotic to be conservative and co
operative under the United States’ war pro
gram.
Americans are going to find themselves
faced with shortages o f tne things they usual
ly buy, but they are going to have many new
products. W e may find the new products as
satisfactory or more satisfactory than those
formerly in use.
If we can’t get silk or rayon hose we can
get cotton hose and if we can’t get rubber-
heeled shoes we can buy leather-heeled shoes.
We are not going to go barefooted and we are
not going to be without clothing and food so
long as the axis powers are kept from our
doors.
The progressive merchant is going to
stock the new products as soon as he can get
them and forget about the things he formerly
sold. The merchants’ problem is to get the
merchandise and then sell it through adver
tising in newspapers and other mediums.
When our merchants have extended their
best efforts to provide the people with the
necessities of life the customers should coop
erate by accepting a situation that may not be
quite satisfactory, but is the best possible
under the circumstances.
Many materials are going to be rationed,
but people should not attempt to hoard articles
that are not rationed. It’s patriotic to be a good
sport.
American ingenuity is going to take care of
American needs and although we are not go
ing to enjoy, perhaps, “ business as usual” ,
there is going to be plenty o f business for the
business man who takes advantage of his op
portunities.
SILENCE IS RUBBER
,
(The. Redmond Spokesman)
Freedom o f speech is an American priv
ilege. It must be carefully guarded by every
citizen. Voluntary censorship is the answer.
Here in Redmond, more or less removed
from hostilities, things that seem trivial and
to have no bearing on the situation, may be of
vast importance.
Careless talk must
be
watched. Rumors may have foundations. If
they are passed on, with or without embroid
ery, they may eventually reach alien ears and
endanger American lives.
The code of war-time practices for publi
cations, issued by Byron Price, director of
censorship, says that “ the outcome of the war
is a matter of vital personal concern to the
future of every American citizen and that the
security o f our armed forces and even of our
homes and our liberties will be weakened in
greater or less degree by every disclosure of
information which will help the enemy.” The
code also suggests that editors ask themselves
with respect to any given detail, “ Is this infor
mation I would like to have if I were the en-
emy?” and then act accordingly. This sug
gestion is a criterion for speech as well as
print.
Central Oregon’s serene surface has hard
ly been scratched by the war. Just what may or
may not be our place in this fight is not a sub
ject for widespread discussion or conjecture.
Silence is more than golden, it now rates
on a par with a new set of tires.

Saturday to an all day Pomona
Grange meeting. All Grangers who
miss the Pomonas sure miss some
thing. Besides the soclalable part
of the meeting and visiting with our
neighbor citizens of our county we
had two grand feeds.
The business discussions were in
the afternoon. Of our principal dis
cussions were: whether the county
should bring in and sup|>ort a home
demonstration lady? After a very
heated discussion the majority was
against the idea owing to the fact
that the county now has so much
debt. The tax assessor's new idea of
tax equalization brought quite a
discussion. We sent after the asses
sor and gave him a hearing. About
DO |>er cent of the members present
voted approval of his equalization
idea. It seems that some of the big
property holders were not paying
their share of taxes. I f all property
holders pay the same per cent of
valuation then it ls fair to all.
The big and heated
discussion
was on the county noxious weed
control idea. It seems the flexions

alarming.
