What the place needs is more labor giving

worlds goods apply their minds and means
in establishing some industry however small
furnishing labor for our people, keep the
young men employed at home: there is no

in this place. The writer knows whereof he
speaks.
Now people, what do you wante More

estsp II so, do not begin to tear down what
is already established but hold on to what
you have and add here and there as steadily
and as earnestly as you can. Watch for

of the town and discourage and scorn the
fellow who would be so narrow as to sup
plant any honorable man in his laudable
undertaking. The man who faithfully at

succeed the same applies to the town or
community as a whole.
Among the few industries in our town we
will make mention of some: John Root u
Sons cannery, most excellent industry
giving considerable labor. We do not want
it ever to discontinue but hope it may grow
larger and the firm become more and more
useful to the town AMI community. Far
