What advertising is done could be done in Los Angeles newspapers to get the crowd headed toward the Oregon building. This is what we believe to be direct work for the men who are putting up their money, and work which they can see and know. Los Angeles is fortunately the gateway which all people pass who are westward bound, then why scatter Oregon money over the whole eastern country when you have an opportunity to reach these tourists at one point? 1 form i-tl into proprtftora of forty-acre itirins, with lioine, live slock, tmple 'iiieiiti, tic.( in tuen In I li eolony a I IHiiMlio.

Good advice is the kind that vou remember too lute thut you forgot to take. A scientist digs un fossils and calls them discoveries. A woman Growing in Every Speech t Those who nre following President Harding on his trip to the west are delighted to see that every speech he delivers shows growth in the newspaperman who was selected to head this nation. lis later speeches are gems of statesmanship and he is hand ling world questions better and better, the deeper he goes into them. The president, while free from clap-trap and cymlKil sound ing, is nevertheless firm in his declarations and his conclusion!; have been arrived at through constant and earnest study of prob lems for the nation's good. His administration has done remarkably well in every line of endeavor except relieving the stockman and farmer, and the pro- gram he has outlined on this trip indicates that insofar as it is possible to help these industries with legislation it will be done al the next session of congress. If an unprejudiced person were analyzing the president's ca reer since he entered the White House the decision would be that he is growing very rapidly and his speeches on this western trip give plain and distinct evidence of that fact. A phonograph record has on one side, "The We.nian Thou (Javest Me." and on the other side, "When a Kel ler Needs u Friend."

Those of the jculls lhem husli'""ls' ladies who dwelt upon the one great feature of old-time dress, modesty, have developed costumes greatly admired by men and women alike. But those who sought to overdo their attire have not fared so well. Undoubtedly the soft dresses of the old days with full skirts and dainty lace neckwear nre to be desired even in these jazzy times when the silk stocking seems to have been made to be seen. This week is a respite from modernism and is being enjoyed hugely by almost everyone in the city. Lockers have given up their treasured clothing of grandmother and great-grandmother In add n touch of pielynnd sweetness to the visit of President and Mrs. Harding. It is n fine thing. No harm can be done by fast moving people of today turning bnck the pages of history for one short week. In a Western hotel the other day there was a reunion of World war heroes, when the head clerk, who as a First Lieutenant, called the nor- ter, who was C'aiilain. and the head- waiter, who was Uculfcnant-Ooloncl, aim nan mem tnrow cut a Dinner General who was cluttering up the cnairs in the lobby.
