ADVERTISING IN THE WORLD OF SPORT 'Magnify Your Savings Fred Huntington, Strongest Man at Harvard. Developments along commer cial lines during the last decade have emphasized the merits of advertising and publicity. One of the striking characteristics of the present era is the attention and expense that are being de voted to advertising and publicity work. Merchants all over the country are waking to the per centage in the favor of the man who uses "printer's ink" freely, to let his customers know of their goods and wares, not for getting to acquaint them, at the same time, with the bargains to be had. The most striking and pleas ing feature however of the pres ent day advertising development " is the relentless warfare being waged against fake advertising, and fake advertisers. The pro gress along this line has been more noticeable than the increase in the volumn of the advertising. The Oregon Legislature has pas sed a bill against this manner of misleading the public, and only last week a Portland real estate dealer was arrested, and will be brought before the United States Court, charged with using the mails for fraudulent advertising. The Portland merchants have re cently gone on record to do all in their power to suppress this sort of deception. These changing conditions re garding advertising are. well worth remembering by those who are seeking- to build their homes in Central Oregon, and trying to induce others to build their homes here. Many came last spring and went away dissatisfied, claiming conditions were not what they had been held out to be. In Port land, in every part of Oregon, and back in their old homes, whither they hurried from Cen tral Oregon, they have literally roasted this section of the. state. This is the worst sort of adver tising, and the kind Central Ore gon must overcome before we can develope our country as we wont to do. As the best possible dvertising medium a merchant The new grade to be built to the O-W. R. & N. depot is an improvement much to be desired, and will be appreciated in pro portion. FEBRUARY 7 22 NAMED AS COLONIST DAY Governor West Urgos Pcot)to to Write to Friends and Invite Them to Oregon can. have is a satisfied customer, so the best possible advertising medium any community can have is a satisfied citizen. Governor West has named February 22 as Colonist Day, and has urged the . people of the state to write to friends in the East, and tell them of the honest merits and advan tages of this state. It is the duty of every citizen in Central Oregon to do this much toward advertis ing their home, and in this man ner do their part toward counter . balancing the unfavorable reports circulated by those, who in com ing into this country last spring and summer, didnt know what they wanted when they came, and were dissatisfied because they didnt find another Garden of Eden. Secretary Fisher and Land Commissioner Dennett appear to possess an extraordinary amount of misinformation concerning how to get home-builders on gov ernment land. Uncle Sam will not soon outgrow the reputation of being a tight-wad if the sec retary's ideas continue to prevail, and no one can blame the Ameri can homeseeker for flocking across the Canadian border by the thousands each year, where liberal inducements are offered. It is to be hoped the Borah-Jones bill will become a law. Portland, Or., Feb. 20. Setting aside February 22 as Colonist Day for 1912, Governor West, in his proclamation, calls special attention to the sort of colonists Oregon wants. He urges people of the t state to write back East to their friends and invite those who will help clean up the thous ands of acres of timber and sage brush land and assist in making of it the agricultural state it should be. The Governor says the state does not need the city man, sub sisting on a daily wage, except as he may follow the institution of the factory, the workshop or the business house. The need of the state is the active men with active money. .and efficient effort. The colonist period this year is from March 1 to April 15. The success of the colonist day last year was most unexpected. Near ly every commercial organization in the state participated in this most unique advertising cam paign and set aside its own special day for observing it. The total number of pieces of mail that went East because of the special efforts made ran into the millions. The school children and many social organiations vol unteered their services in writ ing letters and mailing literature. The result was probably the big gest short-time advertising cam- ' by the ordinary but auro process of banking them; ntul letting thorn nccum ulnte.

A report of the Australasian tennis championship held at Melbourne in con junction with the Victoria champion ship tourney furnished surprising ln-1 formution. This Joint tournument was fluished the flrst wek in December, wiien the finals of sixteen different events were contested. In Newport last year at the United States national championship tourna ment 202 entries required 200 matches; and in consequence the American au thorities are worried on account of its unwieiuiness and a movement is now on foot to limit the number of com petitors, but in 1010 the Australasian championship required 357 matches, and last season the number exceeded 400. This shows the tremendous hold the game has on the sport loving peo ple of that country.
