OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY AUGUST 6, 1914. EVER THINK OF THIS? Ever Stop to Question Whether You Were Being Trimmed or Not? If a merchant hired a man to post 2,000 bills throughout . the county, and he afterward learned the man destroyed half of them, he would con sider he had been buncoed, and would pay the bill poster only half of the agreed price. The merchant agreed to pay for cir culation, and when he did not get it he had a right to refuse to pay for it. And yet, when it comes to news paper publicity, how few local mer chants pay any attention to what they are getting for their money. They want the lowest possible rate, and the fact that the advertising ap pears in the paper appears to be sat isfactory. The writer knows of one or more newspapers in the Willamette Valley that take advertising at five cents ner inch. It is, so low a price thai the mer chants think it a bargain and the pa pers are nearly all ads. But it is the highest priced adver tising they could buy. A newspaper that is full on ' ads and shy on the kind ot reading mat ter that, people want to read, is also mighty shy on circulation. How many merchants in western Oreeon tiav any attention to the val ue they are going to get from their advertising?: How many take any pains to find out whether the paper has a list of 700 readers or 2,700. , : Foreign advertisers take the pains to find out. They don't, pay the rate based on a 2,500 circulation to a newspaper that only has 500. ' They are wise to the game. Yes, this is an ad a Courier ad. The Courier has the largest (sworn) circulation of any newspa per between Portland and Eugene. It has not a dead head subscriber on its list. No man can get the Courier for Over one year unless he pays for it. It has a live subscription list a ' circulation that goes to readers. The paper is not filled with for eign cheap advertising we won't take it. We want to pound it into the heads of Oregon City advertisers that we have the circulation we have the readers they want to" reach the country people. We are only too glad to prove to any advertiser that we have this list. We will prove it to him by the post age receipts from the postoffice, from the pile'of print paper you may see run through the Optimus press every Thursday, or from the name that are on the subscription list. We'Want to beat it into your heads that advertising is only worth what readers it reaches. Determine what readers you want to reach, and then let us show you. Get your money's worth for your advertising. If you pay the rate for 2500 and only get a third of the circulation, you have been trimmed in the same way the bill poster trimmed yoti when he hid half your circulars un der the bridge. WILL POWER NOT SCIENCE Pnnl Stark Spi'Iv Comments on Courier Editor's. Ocean Story : Portland, Oregon, Aug. 3, 1914. Editor Courier: Christian Science as an antidote for seasickness is made the subject of. facetious comment by a traveler quoted in a recent issue of the Cour ier. The gentleman's experience briefly stated included a friend's statement made before sailing, that Christian Science was a preventa tive for seasickness, his subsequent attempt to ward off the malady by exerting his will against, it, and his later submission to its discomforts with a conviction that Christian Sci ence was impractical at least on the high seas. It is quite evident that Christian Science had no part in his trouble except that he imagined" it to be the use of will-power with which it has in truth no relationship what ever. The exercise of the human vyill can indeed never be associated with the application of Christianity to the needs of mankind, whether the need be great or small, on land or sea. Christian healing as wrought by Je sus and repeated in this age by Christian Science is based upon a tru ly scientific understanding of God and man as-made by Him. Referring to this cital point in the practice' of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy says, "The Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing in cludes a perfect Principle and idea, perfect God and perfect man, as the basis of thought and demonstra tion" (Science and Health, page 259.) Will power has nothing in com mon with Christ. It is the antithe sis of spiritual understanding which is the key to divine healing. Recog nizing no fixed law, it operates by whatever means its own desires can best be served. Directed only by the whim of its employer, itl becomes the motive power of selfish ambitisns seeking its own ends without thought of God or man. At times simulating a good purpose, it never hides for. long its mortal nature, wholly un Christlike and unrelated to God. In place of the vacillating and uncertain human will, Christian Science opens the door to spiritual understanding, even to a present knowledge of that Truth which Jesus said should make men free. "Truth," writes Mrs. Eddy, "and not corporeal will is the divine pow er which says to disease, 'Peace be still." (Science and Health, page 144.) The understanding of God, who is Truth, is the basis of Christian Sci ence practice, which but follows the teachings of Jesus the Christ, who said of his healing work: "I Can of mine own self do nothing . . . I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father." "The Father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works." When understood, Christian Science is capable of overcoming and has many times overcome not only sea sickness but the many more serious diseases of mortality, thus proving by works the supremacy of the on living and true God "whose dominion is an everlasting dominion," whose "kingdom ruleth over all."

STOLEN YARNS Fish Man and Others Tell of Their Adventures with Big Game (By L. D.) The newspaper man was taking dinner at a local restaurant with a couple of cronies, when the fish hatch er came in and took a seat at the same table. "What's the news," asked the pen cil pusher. "Same old ' story nothing doing,' said the fish man. "What do you do with all those fish you catch.' asked someone. "Oh, we give them away, after we get the eggs out of them; farmers come and get them, and boys pick them up and peddle them around. "It must be good sport on the river these , fine nights," said the newspaperman. "Well, it's a little lonesome now, during the closed season," said the fish man. We go down near the mouth of the Clackamas and general ly get our skiff full of fish by eleven o'clock. It's about the same thing every night. "1 suppose you fellows have a good many adventures, knocking about the world as you do, said the editorial writer, teeling around for a story. "Nothing unusual," said the fish man. "A few years ago I was up on Kainey Kiver and Lake or the Woods on the northern border of the United States and saw some wild life, but had no startling adventures. I was sent up there to study the spawning habits of the sturgeon you know the experts have never been able to find cut anything definite about the spawn ing habits of that queer fish. "One day we were paddling down river when we ran plump into two big moose crossing the stream. We had no guns with us, but were able to paddle our canoe right up to the big lellows and have a good look at them, As soon as they struck the bank, how ever, they showed plenty of speed and tore through the brush like a couple of runaway locomotives. "An old fisherman I knew up there caught a big moose in the river one day and tried to lasso him with his anchor rope. He said he was going to take him home and tame him. He got the rope over an antler all right, but when he tried to tow the moose ashore with his little power boat, he found the big animal had more strength than his engine and was able to swim away with the whole fleet. "Yes, there are plenty of moose up there in that wild country. One day we were crossing an arm of the lake and saw a big one swimming from one point of land to another. We were in a large power launch and gave chase. We soon overtook the moose and tried to kill him by running him down. We ran the boat over him several times but did not seem to hurt him any, so one of he men launched a canoe and paddling up to the big brute took him by the ear and killed him with a hatchet. "When we were taking lake trout on the northern shore of Lake Super ior I knew an old hunter named Pete who was always getting into trouble with the game wardens. "One day we rounded a point and the first thing I saw was old Pete and another fellow in a canoe chas ing a buck which had taken to the water to escape the dogs. Pete was paddling and pretty soon his partner took up his rifle and began firing. But we could see that the deer was in no danger for the shots were strik ing the water about half way be tween him and the canoe. Presently old Pete got tired of this bad shoot ing and throwing down his oars he snatched up his own gun and turn ing half around he fired, just like that, without taking aim, and broke the buck s neck. "We were right near, by this time, and had in fact been keeping the deer from reaching shore; so we pad dled up and took him into our boat. "We were just cutting the buck's throat, holding his head over the side cf the boat, when who should pull around the point but the game war den. It was just one day past the lawful hunting season. "Well, there was no use to try to escape, so we waited, and the game warden came up with a broad grin on his face. "Say Pete," he says, "don't you want me to help you skin that buck?" , "Old Pete looked rather sheepish but he invited us all over to his camp and we had a good supper of fresh venison. After supper the warden and Pete skinned the deer, and while they were doing it we fishermen got into our boat and cleared out. Don't know whether the warden arrested anybody or not as we left that part of the lake a day or two later. "When we were hatching lake trout eggs out on La Claire point in Michigan, a big storm came up one day, and the following morning we saw an old bateau drifting into shore. It had probably come clear across from the main land 40 miles away. We supposed someone had been drowned and went to examine the boat. We found it loaded with most of the carcass of a big moose. The bateau had probably drifted away from some Indian hunter while he had gone to his camp with a part of the meat. We fishermen had - a great feast and the meat lasted us a couple - of weeks. There's an awful lot of meat n one of those big moose. "I couldn't help overhearing what you said about that moose meat,-" said a newcomer, as he helped him self to the steak and potatoes. "It reminds me of an experience I once had in Montana." "I have an uncle who is one of those fellows who like to hunt, and he considers anything that looks like meat as good game. "Well, one day he was out in the mountains and saw, standing in a lit tle valley, what he thought at first was a big mule. He wondered what a mule could be doing there so he went nearer and then discovered it was a moose . He immediately shot the animal and went back to camp to get the wagon to haul in the meat. It was necessary to make a round HOW TO GET STRENGTH after any sickness is purely a matter of nourishment, whether the attack was an ordinary cold or 6evere illness; the weakened forces cannot repulse disease germs, and this is why a relapse is so often fatal or why chronic weakness often follows sickness. Restoring strength to millions of people for forty years has proven the real need for taking Scott's Emulsion after any sickness; nothing equals it nothing compares with it. Its pure, medicinal nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates, promptly creates rich blood, strengthens the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis. about journey of about 30 miles be fore we could get that moose to camp and there was a whole wagon load of the meat as much as you would get out of the carcass of a big ox. "When I was traveling through Canada said the automobile agent. "I overtook a big bull moose on a clear piece of road one dark night. The animal started straight down the track and we put on high speed and tried to run him .down. 1 had an automatic in my overcoat pocket and believed I could kill the moose if I could get close enough. I ran that brute for a mile and a half and he kept- ahead of my machine easily. Finally he took to the woods and I lost him. . "What can you tell us about big game ; asked the tish-hatcher ot the newspaper man. "Well, I haven't had much exper ience" said the quill driver, "and I'm not as good at lying as some people against my professional ethics, you khow. Outcry From Saloon Victims Out of a total of 1478 prisoners confined in the Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, 1008 have signed a petition which will be submitted to the next legislature asking state wide prohibition. The petition is probably the strongest sociological argument ever made against thejiquor tame. With out a word or even a suggestion from Warden McKenty, the prisoners con fined signed their names and in many instances volunteered to go before a legislative .committee and tell how the saloon has wrecked their lives. . Three months ago the Umpire, the little paper published by the convicts started a crusade against the saloon. Letters began tb flow in telling the personal stories of prisoners who claimed that were it not for whiskey they would pot now be serving time in prison. The editor of the paper, himself a prisoner, was so impressed with the letters that he drafted a petition and sent it around the prison for signa tures. These men are victims of the sa loons, traps set by. the state to trip ud the unwary and wreck their homes and families. The statewide dry movement is based on the principle that this policy is wrong and that the time has come to quit it.

It sometimes happened that I was late, and upon one occasion it was near 6 o'clock the rush hour for marketing and I stood in line to await my turn to be served. A lady came in line behind me who seemed extremely nervous and showed plain ly such great discomfiture that I said, "Madame, won't you. take my place?" She did so with alacrity, and as she told the clerk what she wanted I heard him whisper, "Do you know - the man who gave you his place ir the line: ' "No," she replied, 1 do not." "Well, then, let me inform you that the man who made room for you and gave you his place is Mr. Lane, the mayor of Portland." bhe paused, turned and looked me over, then remarked weetly, "My, cartoons in the papers flatter the man."
