A business re quires a great many years of steady, profitable business in order to pay back tho investment. Tho product nuiBt bo good, and tho truth must lJo told abotit it to keep up tho business. A firm cannot talk to millions of pcoplo and expect to got away continuously with n Ha It cannot nfford to do anything that will to'nd to rcduco or wlpo out its future profits. Tolling tho truth in advertising really is business In nuranco NoWBpnpordom. "Add much 'credit must bo clvon to n number of Oregon counties for tho intelligent wny they havo hand led highway funds. Thero Is consid erable leaven in tho loaf. At least toil of tho 35 counties of Oregon can bo said to linvo obtaliicd good valuo for tho money depended. "Gradually, tho Btato highway de partment has become organized, Un til today it is hlghy efficient or at least, It seems so. Wo all thought wo had effipioncy under tho first administration of the statb highway bureau; wO certainly had enthusiasm for expending. public money. "With tho highest por capita ex penditure for roads of all tho states, Orogon should set herself to tho task of gottlng moro for her money. Tho problem Is worthy tho atten tion of ovory thoughtful votor." A Jolly will 'got moro out of a Coos Hay woman than will a threat or n club. You may havo noticed that the Coos Day man who starts something- Is usually willing to let somcono olso finish it. When tho baby Is particularly red and ugly a man is sometimes tempted to deny tho parcntngo af ter about 000 of his friends assure him that it is tho living imago of his father. It nil depends. You novor heard a condomncd man holler for an eight-hour day. And you will novor sco a strlko for an increase in tho wages of sin. Any ojd mutt can Btcal kisses from ii Coos Day girl.

St. Potor mot hlni nt "tho gato (From Pioneer Western Lumber man of Snn 'Francisco) Tho Coos Bay "Times" Is con ducting a most lnudablo campaign in 'favor of wood biocrc paving. Tho pavfng block publicity which thla paper is carrying on has a threefold purpose; primarily thoro is n dCBfro that its own homo town shall havo tho advantngo of n per manent, smooth, noiseless and san Itry pavement ono that Is reason able In its Initial cost and may bo kept in rcpnlr for n poriod of twen ty years or moro for a fraction of n cent per squnro yard. Secondly, it is boosting Douglas fir, tho very boBt Bpeclos of lumber that it is 'posslblo to necuro for crcosotod wood block pavement, nnd thirdly, it is endeavoring to attract tho nttcntlou of municipalities, oth er thnn Its own, to tho economy, beauty, utility nnd durability of creosotcd wood 'block paving. Should tho nowBpnpors through out tho Pacific Co'ast emulate the cx'amplo of tho Coos Bay "Tlmos," it would only re'qulro a short time to crcato such a sontitnont In fa vor of wood block paving that tho public would domnnd Its universal use, thorehy adding greatly to tho bbauty nnd comfort ot tho Const, cities and, Incldontnlly, creating a I mnrkot for millions of fcot or Doug las fir annually.
