Concerning Factories
There has been a great deal of talk
during the past three years about more
factories and pay rolls, but it is my
opinion that amy new factories we get
here which depends entirely upon local
consumption for the marketing of its
products is not going TO help us much
in the way of increased pay rolls, due
to the fact that the local consumption
is too limited. Any factory that win

Of population which in turn are in the
east. Naturally the output of fact
ory of this kind must have for its main
product something which we have a
very plentiful supply, and something
in which cannot be made in the east.
The main source for such basis for an
industry here is our agriculture (Which
includes TIMBER and horticulture, and
We must confine ourselves to getting
factories which viii have agricultural
or horticultural products for their main
basis. These things we excel in and
can furnish in liberal quantities, and

A PATRIOTIC PASTOR.

Rev. P. A. Hessler, whose parents
were German, gave splendid patriotic
address at the Presbyterian church Sun
day night. He referred to his home and
his country and had the love Of free
dom by being willing to fight for both
when in danger. Rev. G. F. Reed, the
pastor, is pacifist, opposed to the
press urging the war, on, but his ances-
tors were in the Revolutionary War,
and if necessary on this occasion he is
ready to lend his aid. His sermon on
the Holy Land was very. interesting
The national colors were displayed and
/" America" sung by the congregation.
