RUN your tape line along the sum of money you've
been spending for chewing and then chop it in
two in the middle. Now you get an idea of what W-15
CUT is saving judges of good tobacco. The difference
ia in the tobacco itself, its the richness that makes to
bacco lovers take to it that's why little goes such a
long way. WIi CUT is just tobacco satisfaction through
and thruogh.

Opinion differs among the disciples of "pure
English" whether or not it is proper form to
prefix the title, "Dr.", to the names of members
of the medical profession. It is contended by the
affirmative that it is a title of distinction won from
mastering a difficult science and should be
granted. In rebuttal it is claimed with equal:
force that there are other professions as much en
titled to distinction as the medics. For example
Attorney A., Engineer B., Editor C. and Drug
gist D. Of the titles, the one of Prot." is per
i haps the most greatly abused. It is grasped and
used by a varied assortment of callings beginning
with the president of a college and going down to
the fellow who eats snakes in a side show. To
whom the prefix rightfully belongs we do not
know. The limit of abuse is reached by the com
mon practice of writing or saying, Air. and Mrs
Dr. Smith" when the lady mentioned is not i
doctor, only married to one. In a lew states
where the medical profession has decreed that it
is "unethical" to advertise, the newspapers have
so taken it and leave off the Dr " in all cases.
In Nebraska a few years ago, the newspapers
doubted the authority of the medical profession to
so declare and soon such items as these were
general: "John Green died yesterday. X. Y.
Brown Was the attending physician." The M.
D.'s at once reconsidered and concluded that it
was ethical to advertise. But the general prac
tice among newspapers is to use the prefix, "Dr.",
unless the medical profession has decreed that
advertising is "unethical." Thus, the title, "Dr."
being considered advertising, it is omitted.

Our congressman, the Hon. Mr. Havvley, made
numerous speeches to farmers last fall in which
he played upon their sympathies by telling them
how much he was doing, and could do, for them
because of his prominence and influence on the
committee on agriculture. Safely re-elected and
the opportunity presenting in which to land
place on the committee on appropriations, which
passes out the pork, he will retire from the com
mittee on agriculture. Mr. Hawley will have to
have a new story to tell the next time he honors
his district with his presence long enough to be
elected again.

RECIPE FOR "DRY"
COCKTAIL
An expert mixer, after many
hours spent in the laboratory.
conceived the following recipe
far a "dry" cocktail:
"Take a lump of sugar and
place in the bottom of a glass.
Add two drops of bitters and a
dash of grapefruit juice. Pour
ia three fingers of grape juice
and the juice of half an oranga.
Mix carefully and throw in the
sink."
Curry county has concluded that it is too ex
pensive to hold a special election June 4 and will
not do so unless it is compulsory. Many agree
with the "three kings" of Curry county that the
peace, happiness and safety of the state of Oregon
is not particularly endangered and that all eight
measures could have laid on the table until
November ll)18 without serious inconvenience.
From the time a product leavesthe producer un
til it reaches the merchant for sale to the consu
mer, it is used as a medium of speculation. Too
many hands must make a profit. The govern
ment will serve humanity well by shortening the
route from the producer to the consumer.
Some newspaper hopes that the new Russian
government will find it convenient to also throw
out the "pi" lines used for names over there now.
Oregon needs a new penitentiary and for that
reasou at least one of the eight measures to be
voted on June 4 is worthy an affirmative vote.
HOPS VS. POTATOES
Hopgrowers and dealers esti
mate 7,500 acres of hop fields
have been plowed up in the
Willamette valley within the last
year. ihis area, planted to
potatoes, at a reasonable estimate
should produce 1,125,000 bushels.
This at the present price would
represent a value of about $3,
000,000, or much more than the
hops from the same area would
