LOCAL NEWS
The difference between what the producer gets for his product and what the
consumer pays for it has unquestionably been too great. In spite of that fact, you see
very few retailers getting rich., Waste accounts for it. The cost of doing business
in the average, individually operated store is too high. SKAGGS STORES' system
is doing much to eliminate that waste. Here is just one saving: In 100 average
stores there would be 100 buyers. For the more than 100 SKAGGS STORES there
are S buyers. One-twentieth of the buying expense! We make many other savings
proportionately as important, and our patrons get the benefit.

Oregnn Law Aids Fraud
The atate corporation rommla
slon aanerts thai In the raae of a
new ntnrk iKnue hy which Oregon
Inventors claim to have been de
frauded It had slven no approval
for the sale of the atork. That ia
fortunate. If Its formal approval
had been siven. more people would
have been defrauded.
For such la the way that "blue
sky" laws work out In practice. Ap
proval of the atate corporation
commianlon for the sale of stock Is
not in any senae a ruarante lhat
the stock la s Kood Investment, but
clever salesmen make It appear
that It l. They tell Ihelr pros
pects: "Why this Block la so good
that It has th approval of the slate
Itself; we have submitted our prop
osition to the "blue sky" authori
ties, and they have put their ap
proval on It and told us to- go
ahead! In RltoKcthcr too many
canes that la a clinching argument
ana tho prospect puts In his money
and later takea a heavy loss.
"Illue aky" laws, if they aro to
exiRt, nhoulil have so many teeth
that nothing but a Kilt-edged,
strictly bankable investment could
get a certificate permitting sales.
That, of rourse, would seriously
handicap the promotion of all new
enterprises. But at leaat It would
not make the state a party to the
sale of questionable securities. As
It stands at present, the "blue aky"
law Is a flistlnct aid lo every sales
man who la peddling lo the people
stocks that can not stand on their
own feet. Kugene Itcglter.
Antiquities (Vat.'
"J.ualtanfa" Is Ihe ancient name
of Portugal, according to the dic
tionary In the Oregon grammar
achools. and for which the price
la 11.20. In It Ireland la not
desrilhed as the "Irish Free
Slate-, and Germany la still an
emnlre. Tho book was copy
righted In 1 1 4 and contains no
terms like "air base", "air raid"
"Liberty bond," "service flag."
"listening post", "moratorium." or
other new terms created hv lite
war. Hut it is the official dic
tionary for Ihe elementary schools
of Oregon and the price Is it. 211
when other and better dictiona
ries can be bad for leas money.
And the insistence la that the
state is houi.d by the old con
tracts, but that the book com
panies are not bound by those
contracts. And hv the attorney
genernl's ruling, we are told that
Ihe prices which the hook com
panies ask have to be paid and
that all that the people of Ihe
state can do Is to grin and pay.
Portland Journal.
Knrlflictl Curricula.
Forty years ago the most for
ward of American state unlver
altlea were Issuing catalogues of
ehont forty if ges. y These con
tained not only the full course
of study In all Ihe colleres of ihe
university, but the names of Ihe
(faculty, and not seldom of all Ihe
I student bodv aa well. Today Ihe
faculties or those universities
usually numlier more than the
entire student population forty
years ago.
I The I'nlverslly of California
pnts forth a catalogue In two
I volumes wllh a total thickness of
I about five Inches, done In small
type on thin paner. The catalo
gue of the (Tnlrerslty of Oreron
ha 2.15 pages: that of the Ore.
I gon Agricultural college. 448
pages. Ro complicated are these
tcatalogiiea that a prospective attl
Ident needs an eipert guide 10
; pick out the work he would tnke.
And vet forty yeara ago the uni
versities were turning out grad
uates that compare most favor
j ably with Ihe output of the uni
versities of today.
, The college courses of alndy
tare enriched now, but largely
1 with the kind of richness thst
differentiates plum rmltHng ' from
cornmettl imiah. Moslly sweets
and fata have been added. Why
should a course In Jewelry muk
In'g be substantiated In our atate
colleges? How much demand la
there Tor hand made Jewelry
Almost none. Why teach pottery?
How grent la the demand for pot
tery? Why Bhould college; cre
dits bo given for studying how
to cook over a campfire, or why
should a teacher be hired to leach
tho art of using "Dutch ovens, re
flectors ami Improved camping
utensils." a' is dope at our own
Agricultural collegea?
A courao In making pickles Is
one of the enrichments at O. A.
C. The catalogue says: "This
course Is ottered to meet a de
mand for training inthe methods
of preparing sour, aweet and dill
encumber pickles, and the pickl
ing of onions, watermelon rind,
enrrots .beets, crabapples, toma
toes, mixed pickles and rellshea.
It alma lo teach the principles of
pickling by salting and vinegar
and reason for pickles aometimea
going bad."
If this course Is given primar
ily for better housekeeping, all
this pickle loro can be had from
mother, or from Aunt Mary. Or.
If one would learn tho trade of
pickle maker, a pickle factory can
give all this without having It
it'ed as enrichment to a college
course of study. The same may
be said of most of the fancy
cookery and sewing and other
garnishments of life. As a Free
Lance writer recently said on this
page, they make a mock of col
lege education, waste the atu
dent's time and run up hills
the already ton heavy tax bills.

HEALTH BULLETIN
N'o Country Chili.
Last evening'a prison break. In
which Iwo guards nnd one con
vict were killed and two other
guards wounded, should dispel
the illusion that the penitentiary
ia a gentlemen's club for the pur
pose of uplifting down-trodden
humanity, unforlunates who are
more sinned against than sinning.
.Many of the prisoners are des
perate men, willing at any time
to sacrifice any life that stand
hct-e n Ihem and liberty and Ihe
coddling of these criminals by
relevntlon of discipline always
resulta In Just such fatal escapa
des as that Just enacted.
Prison reform, whtrh meant
Ihe nver-lndtilgence of prisoners
and the sentimental treatment
now the vogue. Is largely respons
ible for the wave of crime that
keeps our prisons filled. They do
things better In Kngland. where
a crlmlnnl Is still regarded as an
offender against the public good
and not as an unfortunate aub
Jected to curative treatment.
Punishment Is not ohaolete there
and the result Is one-tenth the
crime that America has.
The success of the break In
dicates a deplorable lack of dis
cipline and a lamentable latnesa
In system at the prison. Other
wise is could pot have succeeded.
Aa a matter of fact, the prison
has become a payroll refuge for
aged political barks.

8UNLI0HT OR COD LIVER OIL
Whan examining children In
Oregon, ono la strongly Impressed
I wllh the large proportion who
I shew siena of slight rickets. As
I many as three-quarters of the chil
dren attending clinics often show
("bumps" In the head, grooving of
1 the rlba, slight bowlegs and other
I signs, and give histories of delay
In the appearance of the first
teeth and In starting to wa k. The
Symptoms are rarely very severe.
, nil are usually found In artificial
ly fed children, though not always.
I Illcketa Is a disease of Infants
and younger children In which the
hones do not become hard as
quickly aa they should. It was
formerly thought to depend on the
amount of lime In the food. While
this may sometimes have some
thing to do with the ease, we now
' know that the true cause la a queer
mixture of a lack of a "vltamlne"
In the food and Insufficient sun
shine. When a child gets suffi
cient sunlight. It rarely develops
rlrkPts. On Ihe other hand, the
sunlight may be insufficient, and
yet the rickets be prevented or
cured by giving some fatty food
which contains the necessary vita
mine. Cod liver oil la one of the
best of these fooda. Other' fats,
which do not ordinarily cure rick
ets, may develop this property
when they are exposed to sunlight.
Cod liver oil might be termed "bot
tled sunlight."
In this northwest country, what
between winter clouds snd aura-
; mer smoke, a baby Is hard press
ed tn get enough sunlight tn kceb
from gelling rickets. This Is es
neplally true of babies who are
born late In summer, and see very
little of the sun throuih the first
Important growing months. Moth
ers should see to It that their ba
bl 'S get the advantage of what sun
