Stover was in from the Stover saw mill Wednesday and reports no loKg ing this winter thus far. Where last year there was four feet of snow over much of that country the ground is bare this winter. Mr. Stover is put ting in his time improving his rnnch, clearing land, fixing fences, etc. He came out via High Valley, owing to tho fact that the old road off the hill, via Catherine Is blocked at present.

WHAT HE DOES NOT SAY One of the stock arguments of the mail order house is that "We sell our merchan dise at such a small profit that it will be a big saving for you to trade with us." Thee mail ordr house does not tell you that its profits are made by selling a olass of merchandise that your local merchant could not handle and repeat sales, nor does the mail order house eall your attention to the fact that it does not pay any taxes in your community to help support your churches or schools, nor to build your roads; neither does it care to have you reminded that it does pot employ any one in YOUR commun ity or HUY anything from YOUR farmers, and it is equally concerned that you be not reminded that it does not extend you credit or trust you for anything. As a mat ter of fact the mail order house does not want to see your local merchants progress, which is equal to saying it does not want; to see your town build up and prosper ft has no; interest in YOU or YOUR eorinnuhity whatever.' " All it Vi'ints is yoiU'; money and it wants that in advance even before you see its merchandise. These are just a few of the reasons why these mail order civic center destroyers should be left alone by all of us. You will find other and more pertinent reasons in this space from time to time. THE GIMM'HK'S XKW PRICK PROBLEM Centra! Appreciates Your Kindness There are three operators concerned In every telephone call you, the party you are talking to and "central." AH three parties must co-operate If the best ser vice is to be had. The telephone operators are human, Just ai yon are. Being human, they appreciate kindness and cour tesy, but rescr.t unkindness and discourtesy just u any of us do. Kindness begets kindness, courtesy creates cour tesy and patience encourages patience. If you wish to get the best ont of your tele phone, make it a point to be kind and courteous to the operators. Home Independent Telephone Co. The products licensed by the Food Administration, consisting of 64 Items, represent practically two thirds of the sales of wholesale and retail grocers, says the Interstate Grocor, and the margin of profit on such commodities will average 20 per cent, with amount 10 per cent on sugar and less than 20 per cent on butter, eggs, and potatoes. This loaves only one-third of a grocer's stock, principally, luxuries, upon which he has a leeway In profit suf ficient to make up losses that may be iDcurred on licensed commodities. Heretofore, grocers have sold about one-third of their goods on a basis below overhead expense sugar, flour lard, butter, and eggs princi pally. That lert two-thirds upon which to adjust a living profit bal ance, whereas under war conditions the profit balance is confined to one third of tho stock. This situation makes It necessary to eliminate ev ery Item of expense not absolutely essential, and the next few months In the grocery trade will be trying ones. But it is expected that war conditions will make betlermerch ants, with mora ability to operate economically, and secure legitimate profits by Increasing volume of trade. o "It Isn't Your Town, It's YonV If you want to live In the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like. You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And r.tnrt on n long, long hike. For you'll only find what you left behind For there's nothing that's really new; It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town. For It lr.n't your town it's you. Real towns are not made by men that arc afraid Lest somebody get ahead. When everybody works and nobody shirks You ran raise a town from tho dead. And If while you make your personal stake. Your neighbor can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see; It Un't you' lown It's YOU. Tin; i'aTiioi.l dollar By A. (i.

In these extraordinary days of high costs," tho payroll dollar Is a boon to tho community that Is for tunate enough to have industries and payrolls. Oregon has no patent on the movement to stimulate Interest In behalf of home Industries. On the contrary, Oregon is away behind in the big activities along this line. All over tho country tho effect Is noticeable nnd the doctrine that Uncle Sam is now preaching to "Buy Local Products" Is being practised with a right good will. The community to the North and South and East of Oregon are es pecially loyal to their local factory goods. It is now a patriotic duly of every loyal citizen to use tho goods pro duced by Oregon factories and tho merchant or consumer whn falls to follow the request of tho Govern ment In conserving resources Is In the slacker class. Millions of money Is going out of Oregon for many worthy causes such as Liberty Bonds, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and other war activities. Most of this money will never find Its way back to this community. Therefore, it l a serious duty that confronts every Oregonlan In every nook and corner of the state; and that Is to buy local products and buy them from your locu! dealer or through him. Every means to sustain our busi ness fabric should bo employed, In order to enable them to carry the extra burdens that business Is called upon to assume. Keep over before you In your pur chases that you are to "TRY ORE GON PRODUCTS FIRST." Early Japanese Literature, In tho cnrllMt times thero was but one seat of learning and literature In Japan Kyoto, where tho mikado re sided. The nobles composing his court enjoyed generally a vory quiet life and loved to dovoto their time to poetry, which they held In highest honor, and to tho writing of diaries. These diaries form tho first historical works of the Japanese. A number still exist and offer a fascinating Insight Into tho life at Kyoto lu days of yore. Again It Is to bo noted Hint many of I lie beat writ ings were dono by women. Handy Candleatlok.

His master would idvo him a penny, which ho would drop out of bis mouth on to tho counter, re ceiving hi ecliuiige a penny bun. One day his nuisu-r said to the baker: "I should like to know how inn.ii my dog really does know. Try M.h with a halfpenny bun tomorrow. " When Uie next day i)k- iV;r tii-uppml hla penny and only a halfpenr" bun was given to him ho sniffed nt It, turn ed It over and over with hla paw, then In a dignified manner walked out of the shop, leaving the bun. In ten minutes he returned, nceom panted by a policeman. London Tit- Bits. Hie Tip on Texoe.
