Tomorrow is Puppy Day its well as Memorial Day. If
you visit the business district you will be Riven a chance
to buy a poppy, the emblem of service rendered by those
who offered their all in the days of '17-'1S. And each
flower you buy is the woik of some disabled veteran in
fciome government hospital in whose interest and for whose
comfort the money realized from the sale will be spc.it.
Wear a poppy tomorrow.
A TRAFFIC EXPEKIM KNT.
The new "Keep to the Right" traffic buttons on the
intersections in the business district will have to demon
strate their advantage "over the old center mound, and we
imagine that the police department is putting them in
vogue for that purpose. Oregon's new law raising the
speed limit on street intersections from 12 to 20 miles
per hour may make the new style regulation more-desirable,
but at first glance we are prone to doubt its effi
ciency. The center button slows up tiaffic because you
can't make such a shaip turn at a great rate of speed, but
it has been, a slowingyyj piccssjlwit pronus-d fewer smash
ups than may result rroia .iie new rounded coiner. A trial
will tell; if the new plan is better, we want it. The world
' do move" and the speedier and easier that movement, thi
bettor our progress if the question of safety is always a
p: hue factor.

lar;e exports iu t low pru ks.
Oregon made an excellent record during the year 1JKM
by landing in seventeenth place among the different states
of the union in merchandise shipments ahioad. The tot;.l
was $70,r0;i,9;)'., according to figutes from the department
of commerce. The largest single classification was wheat
aiu other giains, expoits amounting to 12'S,r(iS,l."ilf wiih
wheat flour second with a total of $10,17.510. In othe.
words, Oregon agricultuie produced over half the totrJ
amount of merchandise shipped to -foieign maikets last
year.
In P.)ur we cannot expect such an export showing, al
though the earnings of agricultuie should he considerably
in excess of 102 I. The reason for this is the higher prico
of wheat and flour this year which always lesolts in a r
tluction in the purchase of Oriental buyeis. When flour is
c'leap, the Client buys it iu quantities and enjoys the lux
ury; when flour is high, the Orient reverts to the greater
tonr.umption of vie, their own pioduct. It immediately
effects our export trade but the total volume, domestic
i nd foreign, should show an increase.
Interesting other figure:; on Oregon expoits in older of
