The5 third annual school ex
hiblt of the St. Johns schools
hM in the Central school build,
in iRRt week, attracted the ad
miring attention of a Inrge num.
her of visitors. Tho work of the
impil m displayed was far su
iwrior to anything realized by
most of our eitistons, at least.
The Portland Journal had the
folllowlng to say concerning it:
The rapid strides made in
practical education in St. .lolius
was comprehensively shown in
the third annual school exhibit
which dosed last Friday night
at the Central school under the
direction of Superintendent
Charles II. Boyd. The work
done by 900 children of James
John high school and East,
North and Central schools in
art drawing and hand work,
cooking, sewing, mnnual train
ing and school garden work,
were inspected by HOIK) pnrents
and friends. Features distinc
tive from similar exhibits in
Portland schools were numerous.
Leather tool work and book
binding was shown in connection
with the art work, with designs
original witli the high school
pupils. The best of the sewing
nnd art work and the hand work
of the lower grades, which was
participated in by nr0 pupils
under the direction of Miss Efiie
MeDnn'cls, was shown.
The piece do resistance of the
entire exhibition was the com
plete collection in the shop of
nearly 1100 selected manual train
ing products, decorated with ap
plied designs. Tho pupils devel
oped their own designs in creat
ing candlesticks, tea trays. photo
graph and postcard holders of
Venetian iron.
Tho manual training work,
which is only in its second year,
was participated in by U05 pupils
directed by Miss Agnes Walkins,
the only woman mnnual training
instructor in the state. The ar
ticles of furniture ranged from
phalanxes of cubist dolls' and toy
aniniala mado by 80 fourth grade
pupils, to screens, equipped with
complete paraphernalia for sow
ing. Donald Strickland, aged IS,
exhibited a model ship; Lewis
Dtinsinorc and Carl Purinton.
handsome phonographic record
holders, and Clyde Thayer and
Lawrence Serrurier, artistic
electric lamps. Chip carving
work was also shown. Max
Stearns had on exhibition a
screen door made by him to fit
the measurements of his own
home.
Another fenture was thohand
work of tho first four grades pre
paratory to manual training
work. Tho first year pupils
showed woven mats, the second
year woven doll hammocks, the
third year tiny woven rugs of
Oriental design, and the fourth
year rattan mats and baskets
and raffia work. Drawings,
water colors, scissors cuttings,
stencil work was shown by all
tho grammar grades.
The 150 cooking students of
Miss Louise Twining from the
high school and grades above
the sixth, took their final ex
aminations by means of exhibit
ing the best of their bread, cake,
cookies, pies, etc., in a class
room. A representative exhibit
from the 530 homo (lower nnd
vegetable gardens was shown by
pupils from tho second to sixth
grades, inclusive.
The 12 piece Central school
orchestra furnished music dur
ing the exhibit nnd Thursday
afternoon the St. Johns Grade
Teachers' association served tea
to 150 mothers.
An Extensive Display
A prominent feature of the
Panama Pacific Exposition will
be an extensive Oregon out-of-doors
display to cost approxi
mately 510,000 An area G0x350
feet between the Oregon build
ing and the bay shore has been
secured by tho Oregon Commis
sion and contracts have been let
for the initial work. This
feature will be unique at the
Exposition, nothing of the sort
being attempted by any other
state. One of the most interest
ing features will be a miniature
reproduction of 200 miles of the
Columbia River, showing fisher
ies, night signals, rapids and
waterfalls. This realistic bit of
scenery will extend approxiately
60 feet. In addition, it is an
nounced that a reservation of
7,000 square feet has been made
for Oregon in the places of hor
ticulture, agriculture and food
products.
JOHNS
!a HUGE BONFIRE
Appreciation Shown by
Burning Catalogs
Ry David Powell.
Many communities of the Mid
dle West went through the same
"Mail Order Fad" some twelve
or fifteen years ago that is now
affecting the people of the North
west.
As the great mail order houses
in Chicago grew with leaps and
bounds, making serious inroads
into the business of merchants
of every class, there went up a
great wail of woo from every
town nnd village in half a dozen
states. Many and varied were
the plans tr'cd by tho merchants
to stem the tide of money llow
ing past their doors in a never
returning stream, but as such
ellorts were generally of a pre
mature and spasmodic nature
and founded on wrong principles,
they quite naturally failed in
their purpose. Not until the
great need that existed for relief
had chrystalized into the general
sentiment that education of the
consumer was the only way to
secure permanent nnd satis
factory results, was any headway
made by the merchants in re
gaining their lost business.
Throughout that entire section
of the country were scattered
numberless small towns and vil
lages that were steadily dwind
ling in population nnd commer
cial prestige. They presented
to tho eye a silent, grim array
of empty store buildings and
deserted streets that gave mute
witness to the monumental folly
and ignorance of the people on
the one hand, and the apathetic
incompetence of the merchants
on tho other: the people's error
lying in their obstinate, blind,
devotion to the siren voice of
the catalog, and the merchants
in their rciuctnnco to realize and
adapt themselves to the changed
conditions that camo into ex
istence with the advent of the
catalog in their community.
Most of tho towns so ail'ected
lacked tho kind of men. and the
proper spirit to come back, and
stand todny crumbling relics of
n bygone commercial ago: their
stores quite in accord with the
general dilapiatedness of the
entire community, run by tho
same typo of men who years he
fore, by their narrowness, their
cheap economies nnd unfair busi
ness methods, had paved tho way
and mado welcome tho first catn
log sent to their town.
Athough by far the great ma
jority of the communities have
never recovered, there were
many, however, that did, and it
wns the writer's pleasure while
gathering the material for this
series of articles, to occasionally
find one that bore every evidence
of prosperity: whoso storo build
ings were nil occupied: whoso
people were hustling and hnppy
and which in general had the
appearance of ueing tho com
munity expression of pride.
stability and contentment. One
could not hut wonder by w'hut
menus such favored cities were
spared the fate of their neigh
bors. Tho answer, however,
wns quite simple hard, intel
ligent, cooperative work by tho
merchants in educating the peo
ple of their community to the
wisdom of comparative inves
tigation BEFORE sending their
orders away from home.
One of tho most successful
methods employed to accomplish
this result was adopted by tho
business men of a city of some
10,000 inhabitants in one of our
Southwestern states. Crops had
been good and prices high for
three or four years and the
farmers who but a short time
before had been only too glad to
accept the accommodations in
the way of credit, and in many
cases cash, that were of neces
sity extended by the local mer
chant, now found themselves
with an abundant supply of cash
and as natural as day follows
night were dying to spend it.
The heads of the big mail order
houses keep watchful eyes on
every little nook and cranny of
the entire country and are al
ways the first to take advantage
of favorable trade conditions that
hold the promise of increased
sales, and in this case it was
hut a short while after the first
good crop hod been sold until
every farmer in the district was
being urged by every mail to
"save -money," "cut out the
middleman," "cease being rob
bed.by your.local merchant," and

good, and the merchants of the ing for this it was shown tht
little city were at their w its' end only twelve nnd one-half per cent
10 overcome me seuueuve in-
iluence of the beautiful illus
trations nnd well chosen words
of the "silent salesmen." They
soon realized they were in for
the biggest light of their com
mercial livos, and as there hap
pened to be throe
or four live
wiros among tnem wno were
deep and broad enough to realize
that a new condition existed that
had to bo met in a new way,
they took ample time to study
the question from every possible
angle before finally deciding the
way to do it.
The results obtained fully
demonstrated the fundamental
soundness of the plan they adopt
ed. The merchants and profes
sional men of tho city organized
a Tradoat-Honie League, the
purpose of whichwns to estab
lish and maintain n bureau of
comparative investigation, and
every consuirterMvithin the city's
trade aone was invited by a per
sonal letter to join, freoof any
obligations -as to fees or dues
either present or t future. The
purposes nnd plans of the or
ganization were published in the
press, and although many of the
mail order buyers laughed up
their sleeves at the undertaking
and cock-suredly remarked to
their friends that it "couldn't be
did," fifty-six farmers joined at
the first public meeting after or
ganization. Athough it must he
admitted that most of them did
so merely out of curiosity, there
were a few who came in with an
unbiased willingness to be
shown.
After deciding on their plan
of campaign, and for about three
months before making their pub
lic announcement nnd sending
out the invitations, a committee
of ten representative business
men had been hard at work pre
paring the scenery and arrang
ing the plot for this pioneer
drama of commercial art. Their
work had been done quietly,
none the less diligently, nnd
when theitimQ.cnmefor the cur
tain to rise on the first act they
had demonstrated beyond a doubt
the soundness of the theory on
which their labors were founded
and felt assured of victory.
A catalog from each of the
three mail order houses doing
the bulk of the business in that
territory had been taken nnd
carefully gone through, nago by
page, and from every lino was
chosen from one to u half dozen
articles that, as near as could be
determined by the illustrations
and descriptions, seemed to be
of nbout the same quality as
similar articles enrried by the
local merchants. When the list
wns completed they began buy
ing these nrticles from the cata
log houses through the medium
of their friends, their wives and
their clerks, and as tho goods
camo in they were taken to the
display rooms and thoro caro
fully analyzed as to quality and
as to workmanship. Shoes wero
sawed in half, furniture taken
apart, mattresses ripped open,
nnd in fact every article was
thoroughly dissected. To each
article was then attached a card
showing the result of the inves
tigation, bringing out any in
ferior qualities or defects that
may havo been found. Tho card
also had the catalog illustration
attached and tho actual cost do
livered there, including letter
postage, money order fee, freight
charges, etc.
Exhibited by the side of this
article was one of as near the
same quality and style as could
be found in a local store, which
was treated in exactly the same
manner as the mail order article.
Tho card, of course, gave tho
same information or comparison
as was shown on tho other.
The committee in charge of
the work was absolutely im
partial in preparing the exhibit,
as it was early decided that for
the work to accomplish any per
manent result it would bo folly
to do otherwise, so such mail or
der articles that had the best of
the argument, and there were
many of them, wero just as
prominently exploited as were
those which favored tho home
merchant.
In a printed summary of the
entire exhibit, some highly in
teresting facts were shown. In
every article secured from the
home merchant the quality and
the workmanship were superior
to the mail order article. The
total cost of tho goods from local
dealers was eleven and one-tenth
per cent less than tho cost of the
mail order goods.
It was shown that twenty-five
and three-tenths per cent of tho
number of articles from the mail
order house were cheaper than

The hureau was in charge of

the secretary of the Loairue. who
had been hired from u distant
city. While he did not do much
personal work out in the country
among the farmers, lie was con
stantly on the lookout for now
ideas in the way of entertain
ments, etc.. that would bring
them intD the exhibit room.
The campaign lasted for six
months, and It was estimated
that eighty per cent of the mail
order buyers had been converted
to the wisdom of home buying.
The spectacular finish of the
campaign was perhaps the most
uiihiuo ull'air ever contrived in
celebration of a glorious victory.
Over ten thousand dollars had
been invested in mail order
goods, and a great barbecue was
held in the fair grounds on the
outskirts of the city, to which
every man, woman and child in
three counties was invited, the
big feature of the day being the
burning of these goods.
In the literature sent out ad
vertising the event the people
were invited to take advantage
of the burning of these goods to
voluntarily express in n most
convincing manner the efi'ect
the campaign had produced in
the community. It was request
ed that those who conscientious
ly believed it profitable to trade
at home would bring u mail or
der catalog with them and make
a public avowal of their convic
tions by personally throwing it
to the llaines.
There was a crowd of about
15,000 present and fully hair of
them had brought "ballots."
When the word was given, to
touch the match, tho vast crowd
became hilariously enthusiastic,
and us the people surged around
the lingo bonfire hurling tho
books to tho llnines, a stranger
might well have thought them
engaged in observing some mys
tic rite of the dark ages rather
than celebrating at the funeral
pyre of a modern mounter thut
fattened only on the ignorance
and credulity of America's best
citizens.
Tho writer had occasion to in
terview one of tho merchants
who had taken mi active part in
tho campaign, and in the course
of the talk was told tho story of
tho conversation of the most ob
stinate mail order buyer in tho
community.
"Up to the time wo started
this thing going," ho said,
"Farmer X- - had boon trading
with me oil' and on for nbout
ten years. His trade had boon
mostly 'oil',' for whonever he
hud money enough to buy from
the mail order house ho did not
appear at my store. Four year
before he had had a failure. I
knew then that I should get hi
trade: and I did get it. He was
out of money and ho had to have
some ono to carry him through
tho year.
"I got all of his trade for two
years, but when he sold hitf first
big crop he came in and paid mo
off, and from that time until tho
day I 'converted' him I don't
think lie spent twenty dollars in
my store altogether.
"After wo had the exhibit go
ing about a month I found a
chance ono day to invito him to
our exhibit room. Ho didn't
want to go. Said it would bo
of no use, that ho had done all
tho comparative investigation
he needed to prove whore he
could get his goods tho cheapest.
It certainly didn't set well, him
saying that, so I thought it was
a pretty good time to say a fow
things to him I had been waiting
to say a mighty long time.
"I says: 'Look here, X ,
you've been a customer of mine
for a good many years oil" and
on, and I've been a mighty
handy prop for you to leun on a
good many times. Of course it
is your privilege to buy your
stulF where you want to, -but it
don t seem fair when I know you
can't save any money by doing
it. I think I am a fairly good
merchant; I buy close and sell
fairly: work early and late, and
meet my customers with a smile
instead of a grouch, I not only
pay taxes for the support of tho
local government and every other
community interest covered by
taxation, but contribute to every
other cause for which populur
support is sought. If you, over
