A Word to
'The Storekeeper"
The manufacturer who tries
to help you sell his goods after
he has Induced you to stock up
on his line deserves your hearty
' co-operation.
But it is up to you to decide
whether the manufacturer is ac
tually helping you, or whether
he only thinks he is.
If he is creating a desire for
his product without creating an
actual demand on your store for
It, his help is of little value to
you
The one hig advantage of
newspaper advertising is. that It
creates not only desire, but ac
tual demand. Most other medi
ums stop at desire.
The best kind of advertising
; that a manufacturer can do for
your benefit is local newspaper
advertising. Tell his salesmen
so next time they come around.
- Show them that you know by
experience the value of news
paper advertising, and that you
want all the branded goods you
handled advertised in a way
that will bring customers to.
your store to ask for them.

In' delivering the address of the
day at Shively's hall, H. E. Cross,
mayor of Gladstone, and orator of the
occasion, paid a glowing tribute to
the hero dead, reviewed the history of
the war, and argued for a newer and
as noble patriotism for the present
and the future. He' said in part:
"This is our land, our government.
These are our institutions, our homes.
It, is our native land. I would have
you love it for what it stands for and
believe with me, that since time be
gan, no country has ever risen, and
taken its p"lace among the nations of
the earth, whose aspirations have
been higher, nor accomplishments for
the goodof mankind greater. Here
is a freedom perhaps too great..
Here -the fnost humble dweller in the
land-can sit down with his little fam
ily, under his own vine and fig-trees,
and feel that the wealth and thevalor
of the greatest republic on earth,
guarantees to him safety and freedom-,
I would inoculate into the
youth of this land, a love for the scd,
for our homes, our land, our country,
our- people.
- "The-supreme need is a burning
patriotism. For a nation to exist and
preserve its existance over against
other nations, it is essential that it
be ardently patriotic, remembering
that 'They serve God well, who serve
his creatures.'
"I am one of those who dare to be
grudge the old veteran, his splendid
dpportiJhity to serve his country.
"I am no prophet, and confess my
weakness when I would attempt to
foretell the future, but this I do
know, that every nation that ever wa3
born. -end", expanded into greatness,
had its baptism of blood; I advocate
not warfare I only refer to the com
mon knowledge of men. Our enthusi
asm kindles within us as we read of
the great heroes of Israel, of Greece,
of Italy, of France, of England men
and nations have literally had to fight
their way up into the lights '
"The grand march upwards has
been 'through difficulties, to grand
eur.' "Do you say, this one was cut off
in his prime, and that one? And per
haps a useful life shortened.
"Then I answer that 'They never
fail who die in a great cause.'
"And there are millions left yet to
tell the great story of valorous deeds.
Their gray and grizzled heads are a
crown or glory to great America for
whose welfare they bared their
breasts to the bullets of the enamy.
And what has been the history of this
our own beloved country?
"It's been upward through sacrifice
and difficulties and oppression and
bloodshed, to freedom and glory. Na
tions do not escape the law or nature,
for they are born into the world
through travail."
"HEY RUBE," IS SO FUNNY
EVEN MANAGER MUST LAUGH
Matinee and evening performances
will be given today, at the Star the
atre, where the Frank Rich Musical
Comedy company will present "Hey
Rube," another of their distinctive
plays. Manager Frank Murphy, who
has been turning - patrons away
throughout the engagement of thi3
company, says that the. two shows
ought to give people a chance to see
this thoroughly up-toate organiza
tion at their best.
"Hey Rube" deals" with the adven
tures of a sheriff seeking to replevin
two towels inadvertently taken from
a hotel by a strolling dramatic com
pany ,and is said to be the height of
farce. The "Sunshine Girls" will
have ample opportunity to glitter in
it, and Porter Warfield, as "the silly
kid" will produce considerable of the
comedy. Shirley E. Lewis, the man
ager and producer for the company,
has obtained an entire new equip
ment for this offering, and declares
it to be one of the best of the Rich
masterpieces.
Manager Murphy, of the local house
has read the lines, and says he can't
help but laugh every time he thinks
of them. "They are surely funny,"
he said last night, "and the best of
it is that the fun is all clean, and the
jokes are new and sparkling."

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
HAS WEIRD THEME
The story of the trials of a modern
Antonio, who desired to rent a pony
from a modern Shylock, and . who
agreed to forfeit a pound of hair from
his head if he failed to pay the stipu
lated price, and of his rescue by a
modern Portia, will be told in "The
Merchant of Veniec Up-to-Date." the
play which will be given Saturday
night in Shively's. hall by the senior
class of the Oregon City high school.
There is also a college football game
tangled up in the plot, and many
clever lines depicting the minor trials
and tribulations of the average 'var
sity man. Members of the cast have
been rehearsing faithfully under the
direction of Mrs. H. P. Cartlidge, and
it is expected that the show will be
one of the most acceptable ever giv
en by local talent
Incidentally it is said that there
may be more things than the play to
be observed at the theatre that night.
Rumors are afloat that members of
other clashes are planning some vol
unteer surprise work, and that there
will be merriment unconfined, and of
the kind for which American boys and
girls are famous. In fact in school
circles there is almost as much inter
est in the possibilities' -that may de
velop as there is in the play itself.
Regardless of the possible in.terrup"
tions, however, members of the cast
will do-their best, and Mrs. Cartlidge
declares that the actors and actresses
are all in the best of form, and that
there will be no stage fright. Special
scenery has been prepared for the
play, and local hits will be featured
duly. The proceeds of the perform
ance are to be used to clear the
school paper of debt, and for such
other purposes as the senior class
may deem wise.
T
IES C.
"When is a cow not a cow," is the
question that Miss Wynnie Hanny
and Chas. Parker, two popular mem
bers of the younger set, are trying to
settle between themselves. They are
very anxious that nobody should
know of their disagreement on the
question, and are doing their utmost
to keep the dispute and its cause from
being known to their friends.
The question came up at Meldrum
some days ago, where Miss Hanny
and Mr. Parker had gone in search of
wild flowers. While they were thus
industriously engaged a bovine ap
proached with some steadfastness
and belligerency, and both young peo
ple took to their heels. Just which
one reached a barbed-wire fence first,
and which helped the other over, is a
minor consideration. The fact re
mains, however that once in a zone of
safety, dispute as to the animals na
ture developed.
"My! That was a ferocious - bulL'
exclaimed Mr. Parker.
"Ferocious bull, your grandmother,"
Miss Hanney is said to have answered
or words to that effect "that was
simply a mad cow, and there wasn't
the slightest cause for alarm."
That is how the argument started.
How it will end all their friends are
anxious to discover.
PLAN TO CATCH "ROOKIES"
ST. PAUL, Minn., May 30. Quar
termaster Andrew Koehn, of the
United States army, has completed
preparations to start from Park Rap
ids tomorrow morning on a canoe trip
down the Mississippi river to the Gulf
of Mexico. The trip is to be made in
the interest of the recruiting service
of the navy. Koehn will stop at all
important points along the river and
give short talks on the advantages of
the naval service as a training for
boys and young men. He expects to
reach New Orleans In. ninety days.
He will sleep and eat in the little
craft during the entire voyage.
CRUELTY IS CHARGED
J. E. Clark, of Oswego, who was ar
rested Friday in Portland by deputy
sheriffs, was brought to Oregon City
late in the day and lodged in the coun
ty jail by Constable Jack Frost Clark
has been taken into custody on com
plaint of his wife, who alleges that
he assaulted her recently. His hear

Justice. Sievers.
TO PICK TEACHERS LATER
Members of the school board met
Friday evening in the high school to
consider applications for vacancies in
the teaching staff. So many applied,
however, that It was deemed better
to put selection off until a later meet
ing. In the meantime qualifications
will be examined. There are six or
seven positions to be filled.
MAPLESS REGIONS
An Eighth of the World's Land
Surface Still Unexplored.
AREAS WRAPPED IN MYSTERY.
"The Dwelling of the Void" In Arabia
' Is Supposed to Be the Most Desolate
Waste on the Globe New Guinea
Has Baffled Countless Expeditions.
It would seem as though this little
world of ours should be pretty thor
oughly known by this time, yet there
are many unexplored territories which
have yet to receive the impress of a
human foot and which doubtless, like
the north and south polar regions, will
take their toll of heroic victims from
the hardy explorers who first enter
their closed portals.
On a rough estimate about 7.000,000
square miles, or one-eighth of the to
tal land surface of the world, are wait
ing, to be discovered. Some 200,000
square miles of this. lie in the arctic
regions of the north; but among the
frozen tracts that form "antarctic" in
the south, where Scott and his gallant
followers were penetrating, nearly
3,000.000 square miles1 are relegated to
the sole use of whates. seals, pen
guins, "petrels and other animal and
bird inhabitants of frozen homes.
It is true that human habitations
could never be formed In such climes
as these, but the scientific world Is
ever eager "or the discoveries of ex
plorers, and even among uninhabited
districts their work Is never wasted.
In Arabia there exists a tract of un
explored country nearly five times as
large as Great Britain. It stretches
from Mecca almost to the southeast
coast and is called Dahkna, or "the
Dwelling of the Void." Probably no
more desolate waste Is to be found In
the globe, for not a single river Is es
timated to flow throughout Its entire
400,000 square miles. Imagine "Ger
many and France combined without
river or stream and you will gain some
Idea of the parched condition of Dahk
na. The Sahara is a blissful retreat
by comparison.
Some . authorities state that the
whole desert is not worth the price of
a good malacca cane. Others give cre
dence to the legend that treasures and
hidden cities lie in the heart of the
sands.
Of quite a different character nre
the enormous mountain fastnesses of
South America, which lie along the
upper Amazon and in the districts of
Colombia and Peru. The celebrated
treasure of rinzcolies secreted among
the Peruvian heights. ; Impenetrable
forests." mountain jungles and innu

to say nothing of carnivorous ants,
malignant snakes, water , moccasins
and those most deadly of serpents, an
acondas. During recent years ' over a
dozen expedition:; . have been either
wholly-or partially wiped out In their
eff orts- to wrestle with "these regions."-
Although the famous EI Dorado,
which set the sixteenth century ablaze,
has never been unearthed, the country
generally might fittingly be called El
Dorado, from the rich minerals and
priceless stones emanating therefrom.
Strange, wild eyed men descend oc
casionally from the mountains, bring
ing wonderful fragments with them.
But they refuse to act as guides to
those who would accompany them
back.
It is curious to realize that vast por
tions of the British empire have never
been seen by British eyes or the eyes
of any white men. Nearly a quarter
of Australia is still unexplored, mainly
in the west, where the population av
erages only one person in about every
twenty square miles. ,
New Guinea has baffled countless
expeditions, though many are still try
ing to fight their way inland from the
coast - Despite the fact that the inte
rior of this Island is practically a geo
graphical blank, It Is neatly divided
on the maps between Britain, Germa
ny and Holland. Among its products
are birds of paradise, spices and can
nibals. Another particularly interesting dis
trict which has so far defied civiliza
tion 11 es secreted among the Himalaya
mountains. Rumor accounts that It
is presided over by women, who are
responsible for such rude laws as are
necessary even in a lawless district,
manage the affairs of state and live in
a luxury of Inverted Mormonlsm by
possessing four or five husbands apiece.
. To the hill men are relegated all the
rough tasks and menial labors. "Mere
man" is of small account beside these
Himalayan amazons. - But we may as
sume that in due season the men will
rise to claim their vote.
The foregoing selection does not ex
haust by any means the list of geo
graphical blanks waiting to be filled.

The Superiority of ElectricToast
to the charred, or brittle, or soggy kind made in the
tedious old-fashioned way, is relatively the same as the
superiority of grilled steak to fried steak.
For one-tenth of a cent a slice the General
Electric Radiant Toaster makes Perfect Toast faster
than you can eat it. It is Perfect Toast because the
radiant heat forces the necessary chemical change
in the bread. This insures delicious golden Toast that
fairly melts in your mouth..
You can operate the General Electric Radiant Toaster on the
finest damask table cloth. Its neat porcelain base and cheerful
glowing coils add grace and charm to any tabic.
