We've never seen anyone so wild,
not even In Africa, as the Grants
Pass Cave Men," she laughed while
her husband (sho calls him Jacque
and it sounds like Jack) tinkered
with the engine, warming it up.
She mentioned her son nnd her
eyes clouded a bit. "It's odd, be
cause while I never think a thing of
flying I am In agony when 1 think
of my young son making his "first
solo. Oh yes, my son i.t quite old.
He comes 'to here' on me now,"
she said, touching her shoulder.
Her hustmnd was taking the plane
up and the mechanics at tho air
port marvelled at its sudden rise,
almost like a balloon.

Compliment Airport
The La Grande airport they com
plimented, saying it was better
than the one they used. in Seattle.
Aviation is more developed com
mercially here, while In Kuropo
privately owned planes are much
more common, they believe.
"Oh, they will be. just as con
servative as tho old party oneo
they're in office," said tho titled
Frenchman when conversation
turned to the recent Labor victory
in Kngland.
"Well, U-t's be going, here aro
the bags, Jacques" and soon they
were piling the three little blue oil
cloth bags, part of the scant 39
pounds of baggage they carry.
"Yuu see, my wife hat-, room for
some very nice frocks in here," he
chuckled. "Oh, here are our
swimming suits," said his wife as
she tucked in the last bag. "Well,
goodbye, and come and seo us In

reporter, and then whirred sudden
ly east, toward Salt Lake City, and

Some Goods Purchased By Mail Are
Made Near Here, Bill Dollar Says
6
THE MAN WHO BOUGHT J
THAT OVERCOAT WILL
WEAR- A COAT OF MAIL
"There is hardly o day that pas
ses," said "Bill" Dollar, "that I do
not hear of some Instance about
how people have sent their money j
out of town for goods und find
when they receive them from some
distant city that the goods have
been made near at. hand.
One of
the most amusing cases Is taken I
from the Dublin Ga.) Itecord. It
is as iomows
"One of tho best illustrations of
the mall order joke came to our at
tention recently: A lady living In
the small town of Helton in the
center of the textile belt of South
Carolina ordered some nice new
towels from a mall order house,
paying 35 cents each for
them. !
l'hoy seemed to bo a great bargain.
"The money wen! from her town
anil tile towels came back. They
were al I thai had been claimed for
them. On tho brand was a stamp:
'Made, by. Blair Alills, Bellon, ti. C
Tho lady's next door neighbor ran
the mills and she could hav
bought the towels for $1.25 a dozen
at home.
"This is merely a clear Illustra
tion of the nucessity for town build
ers to look around before sending
money away. It Is also clear that
merchants have mall order prices
beaten to a frazzle, but will novcr
get the business of their own neigh-'
bors unless they tell them that they
have t he goods by advertising in
their home paper. Advertising is
the merchants' only weapon against
mail order houses. Atr. Merchant
J advertise what you hnvo to sell.
It pays the mail order houses, and
it will also pay the home merchants
who advertise regularly.
"It Is well,, said "Bli!" Dollar,"
for people, to think of their duty
to the home town before they send
their money away. And It Is not
only money that Is sent away, but
credit information is ulmo.st as bad.
Witness tho following as reported
by the Arerchunts Journal of To
peka, Kansas: - ,
' "Down . In-, llenryetla, Okla., a
merchant was asked My sotmi, mail
order house for a credit rating on
a party , living In that town. The
lmMduintj gave iho mall order
house Uvei desired Information. Re
cently tn 1nall order house sent
the merchant this letter: '
"Some tini'i ago wo addressed a
letter to you asking for credit In
formation regarding Mr. Ko and So.
You very kindly replied and upon
your recommendation tho party
was sold. We aro very, sorry to
Inform you that this obligation has
not been kepi and that no payment
has been' made on account.' .-Inasmuch
as litis person was sold on
the report that we received from
you, we presume that you will have
no objection In assisting us in col
lecting this amount, etc."
"The editor of t ho Merchant
Journal comments as follows:
'Well, that's fair enough. If a
merchant gives credit ratings lo it
mall order house, he ought to be
willing to stand back of them,
hadn't he?" I
"As the above happenings nift
true stories," said "Bitl" Dollar, "It
I limy mu vtt-u iu tm: mj wiiu
a fairy story."
"One upon u time in the hind

organized themselves into a town,
The town grew and waxed fat upon
