THE "WELCOME STRANGER"
BAND.

The following editorial was
clipped from the Oroville Mercury.
A few weeks ago, ]. Il. DUNCAN, ed
itor of the Mercury spent week or
SO in Ashland. 1t is not hard to
figure out the certain city OF
which he speaks. And there is some
thing more than pat on the back
for us in reading the editorial. Mr..
DUNCAN would not have carried away
the pleasant impression which he ap-
parently did, had not there actually
been the welcome stranger band.
Let us make the welcome stranger"
tendency habit:
"In a certain city, not any larger
than Oroville, the whole population
have combined into a welcome
stranger band. Every time any of
the residents of this little city meet
a stranger on their streets they greet
him with smile and a few words Of
welcome. II he stops to talk they
spend a few minutes with him and
give their home town a big boost.
They tell him of points Of interest
and give him the impression they are
interested in him-which they are.
Last year one man brought
twelve families into this city by
greeting strangers and making them
feel at home. Strangers appreciate
this kind of a welcome. They don't
feel as if they are strangers when
they are given a pleasant greeting
by the town folks.
I'm this city they have the habit
OF speaking cheerfully to all strang-
ers on the streets, no matter what
time they see him. This is regular
custom and makes great impress
sion on the visitors.
This is a custom Oroville should
adopt. Every resident of this city
should resolve himself or herself into
a committee Of one to greet all
strangers pleasantly. 1t is time that
Oroville forgot all grouches and came
to the front as friendly city Make
it pleasant for strangers and they
will go away with good impression
of your city, which will bear fruit
later. Witness the twelve families
one man alone settled in his city by
following the custom of greeting
strangers.
1T doesn't hurt anyone to give a
stranger a pleasant greeting. It's
not words wasted, either, but reflects
TO the credit of your city.
so let's form an informal Wei
come Stranger league here in 0ro-
Vile, greet all visitors with smile
and a good day If nothing else. If
they stop and ask you questions
about your city, give them all the
information you can. If you don't
know, take them to someone who
does. 1t won't hurt you and it will
help your city considerably. Try this
welcome stranger plan for a few
months.

The Milky Way Of Cooperation.
Just speakin' of cooperation.
Word came to me the other day of
a homespun piece of that material,
and how two fellers made it pay.
You all remember, If you think back
just about month or more, every
mornin' two milk wagons clattered
by your kitchen door. One was driv-
en- by Mr. Norton, 'tother bore H.
Sanders name. Although their pa
irons alternated, the route of each
was bout the same. And before the
milk delivery, two barns housed two
fine sets of cows; two buckets, cans
and separators; two pastures for the
herds to brouse. One day, by happy
concomitance, these worthy milkmen
had a chat. Got to talking about
their business. Findin' out where
each was at. Kind O. got their heads
together. Figured out a simple plan.
How job that took two fellers
could be done by just one man. Now
one crew does all the milkin'; one
wagon carries all the milk. Things
slip along durn sight smoother.
Everything is fine as silk. Milk
don't come blame cent higher but
| got feeble hunch that if the
truth was told by them two, savin'
mounts to quite bunch. If you
are dad-blamed knocker, run your
business your own way, but don't go
tellin them two fellers co-operatin'
doesn't pay.

CAN YOU CONCEIVE OF SUCH A
SITUATION?

The so-called Land and Loan
Measure" (single taxi on the No
vember ballot provides for loaning
$500 without interest for five
years to anyone who with his family
has failed to accumulate property of
total value of $2,250. It's hard
to imagine a more absurd PROPOSE
tion. Every pauper in the United
States would come to Oregon.
A sane man cannot conceive Of
such a condition. A man and his
family who have failed to accumu-
late a home are unfortunate. Would
! it help them, however, to loan them
$500? Nothing is easier to get
rid OF than cash, and the next thing
the borrower would know, his money
would be gone and he would be
worse in the hole than ever.
A man who has failed to accumu-
late a home would stand small
chance of paying back $500.
Why not change the law and sim
ply give the propertyless person
$500 outright. There would be
as much sense to it.
The proposed land and loan law
penalties thrift and puts premium
upon shiftlessness and extravaganza
at taxpayers expense.
From an industrial standpoint it
would kill the state, as industry
could not assume such burden and
survive.

Mayor Johnson says he received
a lesson in economy the other day.
A fellow asked him for a dime to get
something to eat. He gave the dime
and told the fellow to go across to
the restaurant and get cup of cof-
fee and a doughnut with it. you
don't know anything about econ
omy," replied the man. "I'll go over
and buy a dozen doughnuts and then
ask the baker for handful of coffee
to make a little drink, and then I'll
go down by the railroad and boil up
about five cups of coffee out of it
and have a feed" "And he did"
says the mayor.

Golden Wedding Observed

North New Portland was again the
scene of most beautiful and appro-
pirate celebration recently in obser-
vance OF the 50th anniversary of the
marriage OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ephraim
Trip who reside in this village The
earlier part of the day was more ex-
elusive, the family gathering being
confined especially to a smaller cir
Gle of relatives from far and near;
the recollection OF past history; the
reception of presents in honor of the
occasion. the exchange of good will
and congratulation, and the general
enjoyment of real Thanksgiving pre-
monitions upon a well spread table.
The invitations for the evening were
of more general character for the
reception Of guests, and many made
use of this opportunity to congratu-
late the well-deseTving couple and
their near relatives.
Mr.. Ephraim Trip was born at
Embden, Feb. L. 1S45. and there re-
ceived his early school instruction.
upon the completion of which. some
farming followed until 90 when he
enlisted for the Civil War in the 2Sth
Maine Infantry. This enlistment
expired after nine months. but in the
three months to come of voluntary
service. Mr.. Trip took part in some
of the biggest battles of the War.
1ph
DonaldsonYille. enlistment took
place and this time with the First
Maine Heavy Artillery for two years.
Again it fell to the lot of this gentle
man to witness and take part in
some of the heaviest fighting of the
Civil War, the Wilderness, Spottsyl-
vania, Cold Harbor, where so many
men were lost, at Petersburg, and
eliminating in that most notable
battle at AppomattoX where General
Lee surrendered. Then followed
the great review at Washington. All
honor due to this man and all others
who served their country in the days
of severe testing. who have watched
the country grow and prosper. as
result OF their labors. and who have
in fact, witnessed the most unparall
ed and Incompatible half century OF
history.
In August, 1865. Mr.. Trip return
ed to his native town and the follow
ing November he married Miss Love
p Moulton. She was born and
brought up in the same town and
they continued to live there until
about ten years ago. when they took
up their residence in North New
Portland.
Mr. Tripp is a very cautious pro-
phet, but he feels free to predict that
within the next two decades "the
boys" may have an opportunity to
protect the old flag, and he hopes it
will be done in the same spirit as ii
was over fifty years ago.
