' MARKUP AN OLD ART ..gaintly' souls who think cosmetics are a modern device of tlie dovil may bring their ideas up to date upon reading that from a terra-cotta box, which served some ancient beauty as avuiiity case, archaeologists have taken what they believe to .be face powder dating back to -100 B. C. , Oddly enough this cosmetic, found in the tomb of a woman of .Corinth, was produced by methods similar to those in usje today. Its manufacture is described in the works of Pliny) so the use of face powder and rouge must have been a coar versational subject as far Iwck as his day. But why did this Corinthian beauty take her face powder with her into the toiub? What wouldn't the modern brands give for such a sincere and flattering testimonial! Perhaps se called ,to find intolerance of the shiny nose on Olynrpus or tlio rivalries of her sex in the other world. Perhaps she had heard it whispered, thai the face that launched a thou sand ships was adequately made up. . Ki Though cosmetics have not been in universal use during certain stages of the rise of the successive civilizations, the processes of manufacture have changed little aud t,he femin ine instinct Uiat led to their invention has changed even less. V THE HOME TOWN PAPER The merchants relations to his home town paper are sup posed to be those of an advertiser. That is a narrow vein. The home town paper is an institution. The merchant caii no more escape its influence than anybody else in the com munity, whether he advertises in it or not Yet, as a consistent advertiser his relations with the local newspaper become definitely constructive. lie becomes a part of this institution without which no community can express itself. Whatever its merit or demerits, the home town paper is ah expression of the community. 'Literally, it is the "Voice of the People" in a sense that cannot hold true for any other medium. i This institution keeps friends in touch with friends. To the best or its ability its answers Who?- What? When? Where? How? and Why? It brings the individual out of himself. It sieaks the local language. H interprets com munity life. Day by day, it tells the story of the town and county. Most of us are so accustomed to the home town paper that we take it as a matter of course. If we think anything about it at all, we think of its deficiencies. These are present largely because it is nin by fallible human beings. The wonder about the home town paper is that it contains so few mistakes, not so many. To the merchant, especially, the homo town paper is an opportunity. His business, too, is a local institution-. Unless it finds sonic kind of expression in the home town paer, both the paper and the business have to an important extent failed to function. Each is affected somewhat by every sui cessive failure in this respect 1 It does not cost a groat deal of money to advertise in the local paper. Most advertisers are over-judicious rather than extravagant. It is the continual message that counts most Sporadic, advertisements now and then are of doubtful value. Perhaps they are belter than no advertising at all. Every advertisement placet! by a business" house should blend into every other advertisement it places. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single insertion. . ;Vast progress has been made in advertising within recent years. Outstanding examples of it are to be found in tlie national field, lxvally, however, advertising has much room for development Aside from one or two of the big stores, the average merchant in the average small town gives Uk little study to tlie power of advertising. But conditions are changing. More and more merchants arfi coining to re:ili;.e that, they are losing money and pres tige when they are not to le found in the advertising col umns of the home town paper. This is one of the healthiest signs in the field of retail merchandising.

C. Meek (Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA. Ore. (Special) Con siderable traveling tn the wooded areas of thi county hits been done by miiny people during the past week or two In search of huckleberries. Reports from the Promise section In dicate that a lair crop of berries Is being found At some places there, howorer, in much of the other tim bered areas but few have been suc cessful In finding many worth-while patches. It is said that where the bushes are shaded and protected by larger brush the berries arc quite good, but tlie frost has apparently done much dnmape to the berry crop in tjio more open ground. Many of the best huckleberry pat elves In the Umbered sections were practically ruined during the past number of years by sheep grazing. Several of the large bands of sheep which haw been ranged In the Sled Springs district during the past few weeks are being moved to hiph moun tain ranges. Up until the past week two the lower ranges have re mained in excellent shape with an abundance ot tender green feed, how ever, ihe hot dry weather of the past few weeks has caused them to dry rapidly. Water on practically all ranges Is said to be quite plentiful yet, with but few of the springs show ing signs of becoming low. A slight decrease in the volume of cream being received at the local co operative creamery has been in evi dence during the past few weeks, ac cording to those in charge of the plant. Tile fall-off In production has not been as noticeable with many cS the members of the co-op as has been the ease with some of the other smaller dairymen, due to the fact that the greater part of the members of the co-op con. tst of the larger herds of the county which are pas tured on irrigated tracts, where there has been but little chance In the feed. A good many who depend on dry pastures for the herds report a considerable fall-off in milk pro- duetton during the past three weeks. duetton during the past three weeks Repairing of com bines, t hre-shlng outfits and other harvesting machin ery has occupied the attention of many of the farmers during the past week or tiro. Many report they arc finding It extremely difficult to fi nance harvesting operations because of the general scarcity of money and due to the fact that all repairs, twine. sacks and other rxpensc in most In- j atances require cash. According to reports at this time new sacks will cost tanners eight cents each which they coBMder quit high in compari son to prices available for wheat. L. w. Minor and wife and H. C.

' Oeorgo Cusslns, who is herding his sheep in the Whiskey creek district, reports coyotes quite numerous there. On one occasion a coyote attacked the sheep during the day while he was only a short distance away. Mrs. Kate Gastln and son..

Some of the truckmen who have been hauling logs from the north woods to the Bowman-Kicks mill here, were temporarily laid off dur ing the latter part of the week.
