A farm or homestead that is not accessible by a good road in all kinds of weather is not an attractive proposition to the prospective purchaser, who realizes not only the in convenience poor roads entail, but the increased cost of transporting his produce to markets, No one thing will aid more in the development and settlement of Jackson county than a system of good high ways. At is early a date as possible the county should vote bonds for the construction of such a system, the proceeds to be devoted to needed highways. The interest on bonds will entail no greater annual expenditure than is now spent on road construction., Jackson county should co-operate in the effort to se cure state aided highways, but these roads should be trunk lines, extending through the county. The proposed bill to bo introduced in the legislature by Judge Webster for state aided highways is defective in that the state only supplies a small percentage of the funds, a very small sum for each county, which would be of no material assistance. The state should spend dollar for dollar with the county on these trunk lines. Jackson county should also abet the effort to use state prisoners on highway construction, and the first road so built should be the Crater Lake highway. This is prop erly n state highway, of benefit to the entire state, and it should be the first road upon which to try the experiment of convijufc labor.

In neither care was advertising impor tant to tho housewife, nor of the nature of "service" to her in planning her purchases. Within the three decades just past advertising has evolved from these olden conditions into its present status of store-service. No worth-while store would now think of omitting it, or of limiting it too much in the scopo of its--usefulness. U would be as wise to trv to do business in quarters wholly inadequate or with no delivery system, nor clerks. For the advertising is as much a part of store service as any other phase of store-keeping. AVomen have learned, and are learning, that only stores that are adequately advertised are able to give real values- are able to compete in value-giving with other stores that advertise. The store that does not advertise is : considered at all except as a more neighborhood shop, which we are driven by necessitv sometimes alwavs our loss. Women are learning that the advertised store, sellini: great quantities of goods, is able to sell them at a mud smaller per-sale profit than the unadvertised store, whirl1 must make its profits from a small number of sales. This truth makes store-advertising of real importance to even woman to every buyer. nn 11 TS is the prize year for Oregon, and the taking of A premiums merrily continues.
