Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought

' 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.

Many In Search
Of Huckleberry
Patches in Hills
By O. 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.
