 Show Growth

The development of the town of the town of Petersburg this quar- ter indicates greater stride than any other quarter or year. If this is any criterion then the citizens of Petersburg may we'll be optomistic of the future.
 According to MT. Otness the To- cal postmaster sale of postal orders showed an increase of 20 percent over last quarter; money order in- crease 40 percent; number of or ders issued shows an increase of 30 percent.
 December quarter is usually the heavy quarter of the year, but the record shows that business for this quarter exceeds the December quar- ter by more than ten percent. Business for this month so far in- dicates the continuance of the up ward trend.
 The growth of a town may be in dicated by it's postal business SC l in this instance the rapid develop ment is shown by postal receipts as we'll as by the considerable build ing operations under construction

 Higher Citizenship

MT. E. L. Nanthrop, representing the Hood River Rubber Company very kindly consented on very short notice to substitute in place of g speaker who was unable to come tC Petersburg. The audience was very much interested in the thot set forth which was fitting for such an oc- casion and celebration.
 The speech in part follows
 We are citizens of the greatset country in the world and 'No May be- about it. The comparison con be made by each person. Those who are not satisfied with such a country should be ashamed of himself '"The Flag-they do not make them pret- tier"
 What has made this country so great?" First the foundation laid down by the Pilgrim Fathers reverence of God and knowledge iOf the Bible. They were willing to pay the price for their freedom and they did pay. Patrick Henry in his speech before the Convention said: Give ne Liberty or give me Death. And on down to John Brown who when he was ready to die was 'sory that he had not a thousand lives to give to his country. It is this pa triotism and love of country andfree- dom that has made this country what it is.
 'How may we keep it the Great est Country?"
 By building on the same founda- tion so we'll and securely laid by our Forefathers. Tn Country needs real fathers who will raise their boys aright; needs mothers who will be examples worth while to their daughters and help make them the mothers needed for tomorrow. We must have respect for our countries laws and abide by them rather than to make of them "mere scraps of paper.
 He stated further that brave men are needed. Men who are not only not afraid to die, but who dare to
 In conclusion he urged that God be not forgotten by the citizens as He has been the backbone of our national life down thru the years.

Expressing his dissatisfaction with

he remained quiet during the strug-

undergarments, and there were two

"The progress that has been made
toward political cooperation Of the
west and south toward fair and

"There will be an equalization fee

ton fight in the next campaign" he
said.
Mr.. Wallace, in urging cooperation,
said farmers were not getting fair
share of the national income. partly
because of governmental action fav-
oring other classes. 1t was time, he
said. that agriculturists Of the south
