The Old Church Bell
Over at Hoquiam, a twentieth
century pastor is having the
tower taken oft his church,
while the old church bell, which
has called the worshippers to
gether for the past decade or
more, is to be sold to the junk
man. A bell, the pastor con
tends, is all right on a country
church, but is "an unnecessary
antique on a twentieth century
house of worship" which has
the advantage of newspaper
advertising.
Maybe it is so, but still there
may bo those for whom the
sweet toned call nf the steeple
has a pleasant and a compelling'
memory. Aftor all. tho hurry
and the struggle of the present
day drives us at tho paco we go.
It does not lead us. We turn
bio on before it like the chips
that hurry toward tho sea, over
just ahead of tho wave. May
it not bo possible that so many
of us pass tho church 'dnor by
becauso the rythmic invitation
that wo use1 to heed is drowned
and submerged in the rush and
rattle of tho town? If wo could
hear it, as wo used to do ris
ing and fallingMn its cadence
across tho distance might not
its music and its memory com
pel us oftener to turn our steps
to worship beneath its swaying
silent tongue. Childhood's re
mombrances aro thoso we hold
moat dear. They como to us
most often by suggestion and
circumstanco to turn our minds
away from tho turmoil of pre
sent day cares. Who can hear
the ribrant messago of tho Sab
bath without tho memory pic
ture that it conjures? Tho
frionds of childhood scattered
starched and stiff, about the
news. Tho gentle mother search
ing through tho hymnal or with
her silvered head inclined in
rovoront prayer. Tho , choir,
Bwcet faced and self constrain
pd, struggling with tho sacred
masterpieces of melody their
practiced leader forced them to
attempt. The drowsing sum
mer through the windows, and
tho ripening harvest stretching
to tho hill tops and tho sky.

Maybe Out of Place
Perhaps you're sadly out "of
place; perhaps you were in
tended, with your ability and
grace, for something high and
splendid; but whilo you're
doomed to hold a job that
mocks your high ambition,
it isn't well to moan or sob
about your punk condition. If
you were born for better things,
the work you do will show it;
perhaps some day you'll walk
with kings or be a wealthy
poet. I used to ride a mangy
oteed.and herd a bunch of cattle,
while thinking I was born to
lead the mighty hosts in battle.
Such work to me was an offense;
the ground was rouph and rutty,
tho pony hadn't any sense, the
cattle all were nutty. I herded
through, the best I knew, and
chased the locoed heifers, while
through my sorrel sideboards
blew all kinds of wintry zep
hers. And when I quit the fore
man cried, urbanely and polite
ly, "You seemed to take an
honest pride in herding cattle
rightly." And now I sit in
glided ease, and twing a lyre
of pewter, and turn out elegies
like these, some are cute and
others cuter. The weary path on
which you hike is rough, but
gamely tread it; some day you'll
find the job you like, and hold
it oown with credit. Walt
Mason.

RQGERS.
Are the Best Mediums
Nationnl Advertisers are
awakening to the fact that the
newspapers of tho country ore
tho best mediums in which to
advertise nnd roach tho average
American in his homo in the
most forceful and convincing
manner.
A country newspaper has great
inilucnce with local people for
many miles around the town and
county in which t circu ates.
The editor, and all the staff, livo
in tho neighborhood. Thev
know everybody by their first
names. There is a real deon
feeling among tho readers of
the paper that it is "thoir very
own." They discuss its con
tents at home and over the
counter at the store. Thev be
Hove in it. Tho retail dealer
stocks big shelves with the
goods tho advertiser is creating
the local demand for. House
holders, knowing their paper is
trustworthy, promptly buy and
when satisfied, tell their neigh
bors nnd friends. The particu
lar qualities of a new brand
become known by all.
The Notional Advertisers
now recognize that sixty mil
lions of prosperous Americans,
68 2-10 per cent of tho total
population of the United States,
aro today living in towns of
5,000 and less and on the
farms. They read the local
newspaper. They think in
American terms, they oat Amcri
can foods they wear American
clothing. They aro tho buyers
of n great nation nnd they do
business in tho American way
the National Advertisors way.
Their requirements fit in with
tho existing selling organiza
tions that want to do business
with Americans. Thoso sixty
million people buy rubber boots
nnd patent, leathers, farm trac
tors nnd tooth paste. They buy
nnint for their homes nnd ce
ment for their ccllnrs. Seventy
nor cent of tho automobiles aro
sold in the country. They buy
up-to-unle clothing, pianos, farm
implements, chewing gum. type
writers, cignrctics.8oap, talking
mnchincs, furn'turc, pancake
flour, glassware, break fast foods,
rainconts everything tho Nat
ionnl Advertiser has to sell that-

Ask tho trnve ing salesman
tho men on tho firing line-
about tho selling powcr.the pres
tige, and intlucncc of country
newspapers in tho towns they
mnko they will say there is no
Inuuenco so powerful and no
nrgumentBo effectivo to place
merchandise on tho denler'a
shelves and movo it off tin
shelves as an advertising cam-
pnlgn in the dealer s local paper.
'lho country newspaper is tho
cash-in medium. As nn adver
tising medium that goes into
every home, that is read by chil
dren, the future market, as well
as adults, tho present market;
that la an invited messenger;
that has no waste circulation,
that covera tho dealers' own vi
cinity, the country newspaper
offers the only intonsivo adver

No Use to Fret
When it's spring, you catch a
cold;
Summer time, you're meltin':
When it's winter wood is
scarce
Sleet an' snow a peltin'.
When you've got the cash in
view,
Plenty to befriend you:
When you need a dime or two,
Not a soul to lend you:
When you're on the mountain
top,
Telescopes to spy you;
When into the ditch you drop,
Whole world passes by you.
Ain't a bit of use to fret-
Take it as you find it:
Best world that you've been in
yet:
Laugh and never mind it!

Water Supply Low
Announcing that Portland's
water supply is at the lowest
ebb in its history and urainn
the people to restrict water use
to the absolute minimum, City
Commissioner Mann Tuesday
declared that only -17,000,000 gal
lons per day is entering the con
duits from the Bull Run river.
This is barely the minimum
quantity now being used. The
commissioner announced that
unless extreme economy in
water is practiced, it may be
necessary to cut oft the snrink
ling privilege entirely until tho
river is replenished. The ow
est previously recorded at the
Bull Run head work was '18.000.
000 gallons in 19M. Thus the
supply today is 1,000,000 gal
lons below the most critical
period in the history of the
waterworks, ftlnnn pointed out
that the average flow of water
at this season is GG.000,000 gnl
Ions. In August the use is some
what less usually, he said, but
even so, ordinarily the supply
is more than sufficient to co.'cr.
"In case of u big fire, it would
be necessary to curtail all irri
gation from the city mains,"
said Mann. "We should con
serve now. It mny be of interest
that the entire supply of water
stored in reservoirs is only 100.-
000,000 gallons, barely enough
for lour days should the ma n
supply be impaired. Mann has
been spending much time at the
hendwork of late studying the
flow and figuring how to in
crease it.

The cost of building is estimat
ed at ?35,U0O. Tho tank will
be 75 feet wide and 150 feet
long, and sufficient lockers will
bo built to accommodate about
1,000 bathers. Showers and

bathers may rest, is another
attractive feature planned. Tho
building will be of the conver

from a swimming pool to an

This is the same method used
to make the floor space of the

World Short of Sugar
The sugar beet industry has
had an uphill tight until recent
years to become established in
this country. Every conceivable
argument was used against it
It struggled on, however, nnd
when the war came it was tin
saving feature of the sugar
situation in the U. S. There is
no longer any argument against
the sugar be.et; every commun
ity that can grow them is anx
ious to get the industry stnrted.
Not only is the world short of
sugar, but consumption per
capita is incensing the world
over. '
, Thcro Is every incentive for
increased production of beets
in our western states: with
labor saving machinery and
scientific farming method farm
ers can greatly increase their
yield per acre, thus cutting
their overhead to a point where
we can compete successfully
with competition which will
come. There seems to be no
doubt that within a few years
the U. S. will he the lending
sugar beet nation, surpassing
even France nnd Germany as
they were before the war.

Defends Public Markets
There has been much said
of late In the daily press and
otherwiso concerning the public
markets in Portland. Judging
from the comments and critic
isms that have been uttered,
there seems to be room for
complaint. As here nre to sides
to all nucations. the Portland
Journal in a recent issue, gives
a view of the "farmers" side
as follows:
There is much that many pco
pie do not know about the pub
lie market. Nobody knows, for
instance, how much more con
sumers would bo paying for
farm and garden products but
for tho markot. Ab everything
is going now, there is not the
slightest doubt that prices would
be much higher if no public
markot were in operation.
A maximum price is daily
fixed beyond which sales may
not uo. and the official who
does the fixing has no other
motive than to do justice be
tween producer and consumer.
Equalized figures ftom quota
tions of wholesale prices in
three Portland newspapers are
used as a basis for the maximum
pi ice nnd the plan is'as reliable
as any that could bo devised.
There is not the slightest doubt
t int, under the arrangement,
consumers arc protected as full)
us it is possible to protect
them. If the public market were
suddenly abolished, buyers
would soon discover that the
institution is rendering them
a mgii service, it is true
that stores in the vicinity com
pete in some prices with the
public market. They have to.
They 'could not, do business
otherwise. Hut to what extent
aro the prices at which they
competo not cut by tho pre
sence of the public market? At
the head of tho market Is Lorn-
missiotior Rigelow. No official
Ih more tireless in his oll'ort
to bo stiuare and just. None
acts more on conscience. None
strives more earnestly to be all
the community wants him to be
or to do all the community
wants him to do. His name
alono is guarantee that the mar
kct is a fair institution and as
nearly a just institution as it
is humanly possible to make it.
it. A comparison of public
markets prices with prices of
the same production sale in
stores in all parts of the city
on a recent day, showed public
markets prices lowsr in nil
cases, anil often with a con
sidornhlo margin to spare. If
there are occasional exception
to the rule, it is no more than
could be expected in such a
varied nnd complicated system,
of bargain and sale.
When everything else in the
world has increased in price,
it cannot be expected that the
farmers and gardeners can sell
their products at pre war fig
ures. They aro paying more
for hired help than they evor
paid before. They are paying
more for what they buy, just as
is ovoryuody else. It is an after
noon tea party to grow vegeta
bios. For example, tho farmer in
these days must, combat the root
moth and if he is n'dti to suc
cessfully bring to to maturity
one cabbage plant in ton, lie is
lucky. He has pests to fight,
drouth and unfavorable weathor
conditions to contend with, and
at toil before most city people
are awake, and at it Mill after
they have long since laid aside
tho day's duties.
Their sales in the public mar
ket are in trifling amounts and
thoir totals small, Their aver
age is around $20 a day, and
many are far below that figure.
Ton dollars and even less is not
an infrequent maximum for a
stall. Thoir distance from mar
kets, 0, 20, and even 30 miles.
Aftor the crop is grown, the
weeds kept out of the field, the
soil fertilized and irrigated the
hired help paid, the article
gathdrod and prepared for mar
ket, the farmor, his wife or
even more than ono in the
family, loaves at daybreak for
the public market, stands at the
stall all day in a tedious and
exacting duty, and in the even
ing when city folks have all
gone to tho club or the movie
or the theatre, hitches up the
team or fires up the automobile
and sets out for the distant farm
house. A day of time has been
spent in the stall. Somebody
else had to be hired to keep
things moving on tho farm. A
team or an automobile was in
service. If in winter time, the
marketers spent the day shiver
ing in the cold waiting for mi
lady in warm furs to make her
purchasos and speed away in
the limousine with fresh, crisp
vegtablos for tho family table.
(It Is said, as a matter of fact,
that one can purchase vcgtablca
and fruit cheaper in St. Johns
than nt the public markot. Ed).
To Ask For Extension
City Attorney LnRoche will
today file with the public ser
vice commission tho peition of
the city that the Portland Rail
way Light & Power Company
he required to extend its track
to the St. Johns municipal ter
minal. Wednesday tho city
council instructed tho attorney
to prepare the petition asking
for tho extension from Fessen
den and Jersey streets in St.
Johns. . The extension is re
quired, according to members
of the city council to afford pro
per transportation facilities for
more than 400 employes at the
municipal terminal, who arc
now forced, they say, to walk
for more than a mile to the street
car line. The city, council
offers to give reasonable fran
chise rights over the streets
within the boundaries of the
city and to seek to gain reason
able franchise rights from the
county commissioners for Hint
portion of the line which must
be laid on county roads, lho
desired extension would be In d
n the following route: From
Fessenden nnd Jersey Btreets
northerly on Jersey street to the
intersection with St. Johns uvo
nue; thence easterly on St.
Johns avenue to intersection
with Kellogg St. tolls intersec
tion with the northerly bound
ary of the city of Portland.
NOTICE
Tho Union Savinirs nnd Loan
Company of Portland. Ore., or
ganized under tho laws of the
Statu of Oregon nnd safo guard
ed by tho Hlue Skv law. nf this
State, have established an agency
in bt. .lohiis ror the subscrip
lion of stock and collections.
They already have a nice stock
suiiscriptfon rrom tho very
best and most conservative
citlzdis of St. Johns who have
investigated the Company nnd
subscribed for the stock. It is a
well known fact that Htiilding
nnd Loan Companies aro the
greatest cooperative money mak
ers for their investors lor tho
reason that they deal in nothing
but cash. It is a proposition of
compounding interest 12 times a
year. All mortgages and notes
and other securities nre to be de
posited with the State. To
mature $1000 will cost the In
vestor $5.00 per month for 100
months, paying in ?f 00 and at
maturity the stock accumulates
to bo worth $1000 face. Past
experience indicates the stock to
go to maturity in from 108 to
120 months, This accumulates
you a nice stake on a small
monthly saving. You also hnvo
tho privilege of a loan with
this stock also to be paid in
monthly payment, in case of
sickness this company will
grant a cessation of payments
for oneyoar, if it is necessary,
on tho stock. It is a good in
vestment and a fine saving
proposition. Any young man
who wants to be thrifty and get
into a proposition that is
safeguarded by the State of Ore
gon, can call on our agont at St.
Johns for further , articulars.
