Telephones: Pacific. 51; Home A-51 MEMBER OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF OREGON STATE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION THIS PAPER REPRESENTED rOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BV THE OENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES FEW ADVERTISERS FAIL Advertising merchants constitute only 16 per cent of all business fail ures reported in Bradstreet and Dun, says an 0. A. C. news exchange. Of all business failures in the entire country 84 per cent are non-advertisers, mostly small town merchants. "This shows that the country town merchant is not using publicity as he ought," declares the exchange. The 0. A. C. dispatch says that Oregon editors have long known that the phenomenal success of mail order nouses in Oregon is due to paid pub licity, but many merchants seem to think that this fact is used only to wheedle money out of them. The merchants can hardly accuse the great rating firms of Bradstreet and Dun of being partners in this imaginary scheme.

COLLEGE NEWSPAPER LAUDS LOCAL STUDENT When Miss Evangeline Dye return ed to her studies in the Oregon Agri cultural college at Corvallis, The Barometer, student organ, had this to say: "In high school Miss Dye was prominent in debates and took part in a number of debates with other schools. In college she has not only been well known for her high stand ing in scholarship but also for her leadership in student activities. She was elected Barometer reporter for Waldo hall in her sophomore year and in her junior year she was edi tor of the class sections of the 1919 Beaver. As vice-president of the college Y. W. C. A., Eva had charge of the membership committee which had done much to aid the spread of Christian ideals and principles. She is senior member of the executive council of the Women's league and has been a member of the Pan-Hellenic for two years. During the re gime of the S. A. T. C. she had su pervision of mess for 1,200 who ate at the armory six weeks. Miss Dye is a member of Sigma Kappa sorority." The Oregon City girl is a daugh ter of C. H.

AMERICAN ARMY WAS LARGER THAN BRITAIN'S At .the signing of the armistice, the American army on the western front was second in size only to that of t ranee, and occupied the second largest extent of the fighting front. On November 11, the American troops held 134.25 kilometers of the total front of 642 kilometers, compared with 40 kilometers held by the Bel gians, 113 by the British and 354 by the French. In January of that year, the Americans held only 10 kilo meters of the fighting line, the Brit ish 187, the French 520 and the- Bel gians 40. The American army was being rap idly increased and the extent of the front they held so extended that in a few more months, had the war gone on, they doubtless would have had more fighting men at the front and would have held more of the line than the French. And this was ac complished by a war department whose critics declared had "ceased to function." WHEN tobacco r i y I want my by Mother I smoke. cared Nature not by Mother-in-law Process.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford One Ton Truck may well be classed as an agricultural necessity, it fits into and fills so many wants on the farm. It is a reliable bearer of farm burdens, not only doing the work of several horses quicker and bet ter than the horse, and does not "eat its head off' ' when not working. The aggressive farmer has only to consider the possibilities of the Ford truck and he is ready to buy one. We judge this to be so from the way farmers are buying them. Truck Chassis $550 f. o. b.
