TRUTH WILL OUT Enterprise Unwittingly Throws A Laurel Wreath at Courier The Courier is not given over much to boasting, and if it happens to think that it has some good points, it doesn't gloat over them. Once in awhile its readers discover its better points, and say they are glad to find them; and then the Courier is pleas ed. But this paper never assumes a holier-than-thou attitude. However, as the Enterprise remarked on Sun day, "truth will out.'' The Entterprise took exception to some remarks made in last week's Courier when it said the "truth would out." It will be remembered that in commenting upon the readiness with (Which the Enterprise tried to be smirch the character of the President of the United States, this paper re marked that some papers had such high ideals that during the recent statewide prohibition campaign they refused to accept advertising from the side they would not editorially sup port. And the Enterprise calls attention to the fact that the Courier printed "wet advertising during the cam paign, though this paper was in no sense of the word "wet' . For once in its life the Enterprise is partly correct. At the start of the statewide prohibition campaign the Hopgrowers Association asked the Courier if it would print at advertis ing rates their side of the argument against prohibition. As hopgrowing is an industry of this -section, the Courer answered that it would be glad to print any argument that the hop. growers cared to advance, as long as the argument was confined to the hopgrowers' side of the question. The Hopgrowers association thereupon furnished he Courier with certain ad vertising, and with some general pub licity matter. For the advertising the Courier charged its regular rate, and for the other matter it made no charge. The Courier believed then, as it does now, in printing both sides of any question of local public inter est. After the campaign had progressed some weeks, the Courier noted that the matter sent by the Hopgrowers Association was not confined to the argument of the hopgrower, it was merely general anti-prihibition adver tising. AND AS THE COURIER DID NOT CARE TO SUPPORT OR AID IN ANY WAY THE MOVE MENT AGAINST PROHIBITION, IT CANCELLED I T S CONTRACT WITH THE HOPGROWERS ASSO CIATION; told its readers of its ac tion and WHY it did it. Reuders of the Courier will remember this. The Courier at that time did not say, how ever, that by so adhering to its ideals it was LOSING ADVERTISING BUS INESS. Now the Enterprise heaves this at us as if it was something of which this paper ought to be ashamed. From the viewpoint of the Enterprise it probably was poor newspaper busi ness to turn down advertising. The Enterprise didn't do it. At the beginning of the prohibition campaign the Enterprise, like every other paper in Oregon, was asked what rate it would charge for anti prohibition advertising. The query was sent from "wet" headquarters, the office of the Taxpayers and Wage Earners' League, in the Morgan Build ing, Portluml. And did the Enter prise answer that it wouldn't print "wet" advertising? IT DID NOT. THE ENTER PRISE ANSWERED THAT IT WOULD TRINT ANY ADVERTIS ING THAT THE "WETS" WOULD SEND IT FOR 35 CENTS AN INCH. This exhorbitunt rate is over double that usually charged by the pillar of righteousness down the street. The Enterprise figured that the "wets" had a barrel of money, and that it might as well get in on the graft. The "wets'' wore not as foolish as the Enterprise believed, however, and refused to be bounced out of 35 cents an inch for such meagre circulation as the Enterprise could then offer. It was the "wets" who TURNED THE ENTERPRISE DOWN; and not as that paper would have people believe, that it hud refused "wet advertising As the Enterprise remarks, "two and two make four." Which paper do you think the most of the Cour ier, that stopped printing "wet" ad vertising at a loss of business to it self, because it found that the adver tising was not as originally outlined; or the Enterprise, that was willing to print anything if it could get the "velvet" prce of 35 cents an inch ?

Exports of American 1 agricultural Implements during the fis- cal year 1015 totaled approximately I $10,000,000 as against $40,(100,000 iji the ' high record year, 1013; $21,000,000 iu ! 1003 and a yearly average of more than $20,000,000 for the last decade. This loss of trade fell most heavily upon sales to Europe, but there were also smuller though Insignificant de creases in shipments to Argentina, Canada and various countries of Af rica and other sections of the world. Cuba and Siberia made gains. Aus tralia barely held Us own In the year's trade, but this Is a good showing In view of the fact that her wheat crop dropped from more than 100.000,000 bushels In 1013 to 25,000,000 bushels last year. The European war was doubtless the dominant factor In the great falling off !u exports of agricultural Implements, since the decrease In sales to Europe was disproportionate to that In sales to other sections. Thus exports of ag ricultural Implements to European Rus sia, usually the greatest of foreign markets for this class of American manufactures, practically ceased, as did also those to Germany, while huge losses likewise occurred In sales to France and other European countries. Another contributory factor was the recent establishment of great plants in Russia and France. Information reaching the department of commerce, however, indicates a growing use of machinery on farms both In Europe and elsewhere, a tend ency which will doubtless be even more pronounced upon the resumption of pence, since the devastation of war Is causing a marked shortage In human nnd animal labor, necessitating propor tionately more machinery for the suc cessful conduct of fanning. Russia, for example, possesses one-seventh of the entire area of the world and an even larger proportion of the land devoted to cereal crops, which require for their cultivation more machinery than most other classes of farm products. Gen eral depression in Canada. Argentina mid elsewhere so reduced buying pow er in 101-1-15 that new agricultural ma chinery has not been purchased In the usual quantities, but with n restoration of normal conditions American manu facturers will doubtless find larger mar kets than ever before.

''Talk about handing out free gas ranges or renting them out at a noml ual rental," said a mau iu the employ of a gas company; "there is another Item that encourages gas consumption, uud tbut Is wall papers. "If 1 were running the business I would hand out free wall papers. But I would do the choosing. Rich deep greens und browns they are the col- oi's that bring up your bills and our profits. " How many people realize that a big Percentage of their gas money niny be su"k i,lto tuul1' wulls and wasted? It may be only a matter of color of your wall paper whether you light one or three burners. White walls, of course, absorb the least light, only 30 per cent, but nearly everybody wants some color to meet the eye. A chrome yellow absorbs only 38 per cent. Paper of an orange shade robs you only of 50 per cent of your light. It Is when you get Into the reds and greens and browns that the light be gins to dim. A dark green wall paper, so restful to the eye, absorbs 82 per cent of the light. And paper of a deep chocolate leaves only 4 per cent of the light rays for use. Its power of ab iorptlou Is 0(1 per cent. New York Sun Two Points ot View. He bud a lot of money, but no dli covernblo ancestors, and so it came that lie affected contempt for pride of birth.

Thfy concluded: "Say what you will," asserted the one, "It Is a fine thing to come of good Rtock. "It's a finer thing," replied the other, with finality, "to own It." How the Rash Comes, In measles a rash appears on the fourth day of the fever. It is first seen on the forehead, face and neck, afterward over the whole body. It consists of raised red siots. In scarlet lever the rash appears on th -'cond day of the fever, commencing on the upper, part of the chest and neck, Whence it spreads over the body. In smallpox 1111 eruption Is seen on the tlili'd or fourth dny on the face, neck and wrists, in chicken pox the erup tion is made of small blebs. Iu typhoid fever the rash rarely shows Itself be fore the seventh day of the fever. The spots nro rose colored, and they disap pear on pressure. Effect of the Sun on Monuments. The poriieudlcularlty of a monument Is visibly affected by the rays of the sun. On every sunny day n tall monu ment has tt regular swing leading away from the sun. This phenomenon Is due to the greater expansion of the side on which the rays of the sun fall. A pendulum placed Inside, say, Nel son's column. In Trafalgar square, would be found to describe on every clear day nn ellipse of pretty nearly half nn Inch In diameter. London Telegraph. j Holland and Herrings. To the sea the Dutch owe most of their wealth. The art of curing her ring was discovered by a poor Dutch fisherman, William. Beukels, In 1350, who found that ttj fish which they caught In great abundance could be smoked and salted away in kegs and then transported to the ends of the world In good condition; Such a trade resulted that It was said that "Amster dam is built on herring bones." Sev- eral hundred years after the death of Beukels the emperor, Charles V., went to the tomb of the fisherman and there ate a herring In gratitude for the in volition. And In a church in Biervllet today may be seen a stained glass win dow in honor of this man. Herring 'have been one of the chief means of trade to the Hollanders, so that even at the present duy the first catch is taken to the royal palace In a coach and six. The fact that the two dominant po litical parties of Holland for hundreds of years were calledthe "Cods" and the "Fishhooks" shows that maritime matters were the uppermost in the peo ple's thoughts. Exchange. Concerning the Dolomites. The fairyland about Cortina Is fa miliar to thousands of tourists as "The Dolomites." Dolomite, a rock com pounded of carbonate of lime and car bonate of magnesia, takes Its name from the French geologist Deodat de Gratet, Marquis de Dolomieu, who spent his time in 178H and the follow ing years, while his countrymen were busy with revolution and war, in visit ing this and other Alpine districts. lie first mentions this kind of rock in 1701, and the word "Dolomite" first occurs In a pamphlet of 1802 describ ing a tour of his In the Alps about the St. Gothard and the Slmplon. The curious point, noted by Mr. Coolidge, Is that the marquis seems to have paid no attention to the dolomite rocks in the neighborhood of his own home, Dolomieu, near Grenoble. London Mirror. The Familiar Unknown. Things you see every day and never notice form a favorite topic with those who probe curiously into our deficien cies. The watch trick is perhaps an open secret by now, and yet you may fall in reproducing the Roman figures that you confront in all moods many times a day. Can you describe the as pect of a shilling, which I hope you see as many times a day, or a penny postage stamp? I am sure that any postal maiden could sell me a dozen penny stamps with the wrong head on them and send me away contented. And yesterday I met a man who had lived for years In happiness on Haver stock hill and couldn't tell me .the number of steps that led to the front door of his own house. London Spec tator. The Rise of Newfoundland. Newfoundland has had a curious his tory. Cabot, saillug from Bristol, dis covered it in 1407, and in 1583 Sir Hum phrey Gilbert annexed Its wild and rocky shores for Queen Elizabeth. Yet until 130 years ago it was illegal to build a permanent house there. The island was held by "merchant adven turers" for the sake of the fisheries. They hired their fishermen in England, took them across the Atlantic euch spring and brought them buck at the commencement of winter. ' Newfoundland's Importance in the cod fishery arises to a great extent from the fact that it is only within her waters that the small fish desirable as bait can be obtained in the necessary quantities. Loudon Telegraph. A Curious Royal Custom, When any Spanish sovereign dies the body Is at once submitted to the process of fossilizatlon, nor can It be placed In the royal pantheon until the body has been absolutely turned into stone. Curiously enough, the period re quired for fossilizatlon varies consid erably. Some royal bodies have be come solidified In a very short period, while others have taken years before the fossilizatlon took place. Not Much. "Is it true, mamma," asked Ethel, 'bat the ostrich hides its head in the sand?" "Yes, dear; they say that is the case." .

Mr. Steward has. included in "War Medals and Their History" a special account of the famous Waterloo medal of Plstrucci, which originated from the desire of George IV. in 1819 to com memorate the victory by the issue of a specially fine medal. Flaxman design ed it, but Pistrucci. the chief engraver at the royal mint, refused to cut the dies nnd was himself commissioned to prepare a modeled design, which, be ing approved, lie was instructed to cut the dies for a fee of 3,500. The dies were not finished until 1849, and of the men who were to receive the medal In gold the Duke of Wellington was the only survivor when the first impres sion was taken. Dealing In Futures. "It Is my firm belief," announced Jasper Knox, the sage of Piketown-on-the-Bllnk, "that In the dim and misty future there Is a faint possibility of some hitherto unknown Inventive genius accidentally stumbling upon a scientific formula, the compounding of which, superinduced by a liberal and proper administration of the same to teething Infants, will Impart to those necessary household adjuncts a sense of propriety which will enable them to comprehend the utter folly of keeping their overworked father awake half of the night, when the high cost of living demands that he be up and doing when the cuckoo clock proclaims the advent of another day of toll." Judge. Persuasive. Far from concealing anything of per tinency to the Issue, the old serpent freely confessed that if Eve should eat the apple it meant clothes from that time forward. "But," he argued und never more co gently, "clothes will be something to talk about when you are tired of the weather and don't happen to be par ticularly brainy." And the first mother, bethinking her how many of her daughters were des tined to find themselves in suchwise circumstances, thereupon yielded the point, with what result Is only too well known to the present generation of mankind.

The Italian soldier Is not only se verely drilled, but he is also expected to perform a good many duties not usually regarded us falling within the requirements of military service. It Is considered incumbent on every man wearing the king's uniform to give aid whenever and wherever It may be needed for the protection of life and property, against crime, accident or disaster, and whenever a calamity be falls such as an earthquake the first move is always to send troops to as sist the suffering. That Is one reason why Italy regards her army with af fection as her protector at home as well as her lt defender against foreign aggression. London Chronicle. GOOD ADVICE. My advice is that you endeavor to be honestly rich or contentedly poor. In the next place, look to your health, and if you have it praise God and value it next to a good conscience. As for money, neglect it not, but note that there is no necessity of being rich, for there be as many miseries beyond riches as, on this side of them, and if you have competence enjoy it with a meek, thankful heart. Izaak Walton. Cream, Butter and Yellow. Scientific experiments have demon strated that, contrary to the geueral belief, the yellow color of cream and butter Is not necessarily an Indication of their richness. It was discovered long ago that most vegetable mattei contains a yellow substance called "earrotln" because it exists abundant ly In carrots. It Is this substance contained in the cow's feed that gives rise to the color of milk nnd butter. Carrotln Is most abundant In the green forage available in spring and summer so that milk and butter produced then are more yellow than In the winter, al though the percentage of fat in wiutei milk often is higher than in the rich looking product obtained in summer. Art. Nobody hits yet been able to define art correctly, because every conception of art differs with the Individual. No body really knows what truth Is, yet art is said to be truth plus personal ity. Personality Itself Is our most in comprehensible enigma. Art must possess a supreme and con stantly Increasing interest. The best and most unfailing test of art Is when it endures. Time, therefore. Is neces sary to proclaim it All masterpieces turned out overnight are not to be trusted. The true artist Is, therefore, most likely to be unknown. Time crowns him master with one hnild nud de stroys him with the other. Life. Bright Youngster. "I've been a good boy today, haven't I, mnmma?" asked the pride of the household. "Yes, Itichard.

It has long been known that Edwin Booth felt deeply the grief that it was one of his own family who took Abra ham Lincoln's life. This. little story, which the editor of a well known mag azine Is fond of telling, emphasizes that ' fact: When I was a boy 1 lived in Chicago near Lincoln park. Once when Edwin Booth was playiug in the city 1 went with another boy to bear "Hamlet" t was permitted to spend the night at my friend's botise, but went home for breakfast. At that early hour Lincoln park was deserted, but as I drew near St. Gaudeus' great statue of Lincoln 1 saw a carriage approach, driven by a negro coachman. It stopped before the stat ue, the door opened und out stepped Edwin Booth. Curious to see what would huppen, I stepped behind a clump of shrubbery where I might watch unobserved. The great actor stood for a moment before the wonderful bronze with his, head bared. Then he took a rose from his buttonhole and Inld it at the base of the statue. He entered the carriage and was driven away, utterly uncon scious that the incident had been wit nessed by one who would ever after cherish its memory. Youth's Companion. Many Uses of Graphite. Few people begin to realize the range of uses to which graphite is put, says the Scientific American, for It la an essential though minor ingredient In a great number of unsuspected connec tions as common as that of lead pen cils. With many of these the graphite man is himself unfamiliar, beyond the simple fact that this or that manufac turer purchases from him, for In such uses it is apt to represent part of a secret process. Lead pencils, lubricants, electrical conductors and black polishes and paints are prominent conventional uses, but it is liable to be present pretty much anywhere that anti-frlctlon, un fading blackness, heat resistance, elec trical conductivity or houcorrosiveness Is a desirable property, ' nud the fact thut without graphite the derby hat, as we know it could not be, is an exam ple of its Importance as an incidental ingredient A Wonderful Railway Journey.
