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.

young ladies of this city and was
given in honor of the Clackamas
county heroes who have returned

accompanied on the piano by his wife,

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."

ter of C. H. Dye, prominent local at
torney, and Eva Emery Dye, author

widely read books of recent publica
tion, and works on Oregon history,

months. Her return to reeular class.

cause of her record of 91 per cent
throughout her college career as
home economics student.
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."

Victory loan activities have held
the limelight in nearly every city and
village of the Webfoot state dumg
the last week. Most districts have
already subscribed or oversubscribed
their quotas. Banks willingly guar
anteed scores of quotas before the
drive opened and the public is taking
the bonds up swiftly. Theaters and
picture shows are presenting films
furnished by the national Victory
loan publicity committee, in which
famous movie players of the United
States are taking parts.
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
