Oregon Hens Won
In Three Contests
Oregon College hens won two first
prizes and one tecond la the big na
tional and International contests
held in America last year. A pen
of ten Oregons laid 2352 eggs at the
Storrs, Conn., International egg lay
ing contest; thereby winning first
place and establishing a new world
record of 235.2 eggs a year per hen
in a pbn of ten;
A pen of five barred rocks toon
second place at the all-northwest con
test at Pullman by laying an average
of 251.6 eggs each. This broke all
previous performances for pens of
five In American contests, but lacked
three eggs only three-fifths of an
egg each of tying for first place,

The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L W. BOWER, H. D.
Yon can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them aide by side in the
same spot of ground. In "one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower of
rare beauty. You can plant s poppy seed
and get opium (a dangerous, haoiWorming
drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed ana
set something tnat Helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. Ho
learned it all through treating thousands
of cases. The result of his studies was a
medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegctabio growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir
regularities, pclvio inflammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is mado of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription they are getting a safe woman's
tonio so good that druggists everywhere
scU it :
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always Kept them out of his remedies.

Trail of Turk Has
Left Utter Ruin
Despite all their sufferings at the
hands of the Hun, the war-victims
ef Belgium and Northern France
are now busy at their, work of recon
struction and can look forward at
least to a harvest of some sort dur
ing the coming summer.
But the Turk Is even more tlioro
in his work of destruction than is
tho Hun. The trail of the barbarous
Turk, wherever Is has lead thruout
the ancient lands made familiar to
us thru Bible-lore, has left utter
ruin, destruction, and starvation both
present and prospective. Not con
tent with wholesale massacres and
every manner of Individual atrocity,
the Turks destroyed every agricul
tural Implement, killed all the stocK
and food animals, and looted and
burned all property.
The plan of the American Commit
tee for Relief in the Near East, In
addition to feeding and clothing
these pitiable war-victims, Is to pro
vide them with agricultural Imple
ments, seed for sowing, and domes
tic animals from which herds and
flocks may be bred.
Oregon's quota Is 1184,000 and
must be raised by March 15 at the

don't overlook a generous donation
towards this work of mercy and re

W. H.Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Ncolin Soles so tough
and durable that one pair of soles
served on a second pair of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he says, "Those same soles will
stand another ten months of constant
daily wear."
This is unusual service even for
Neolin So'es but Mr. Kclley's experi

of cutting down those rising shoe bills

the new shoes you buy are Neolin
soled and have worn shoes repaired

made to be comfortable, waterproof

City Building Thru Advertising
Morris M. lUUhlmii, of Lcm Angolct
Altho the proposition should be
self-evident, there are a great many
persons reasonably well posted in ad
vertising, who do no appreciate that
If a city wishes to grow, It should ad
vertise along the same general lines
an a shoe store, manufactory or any
other Institution dependent upon the
cutslde world for Its advancement
Tho normal growth of a community
necessarily la slow. This growth can
be made more rapid In proportion to
the Initiative of those composing it.
Community advertising might well
be compared to that of a department
store, since there are many variations
to be Included. One of the first
things to do Is exactly what the ad
vertising manager of a department
store does; that Is, to take stock of
what he has and to know what he
wants to sell. A survey of resources,
advantages, handicaps and possibili
ties should be made and then a defi
nite system formulated.
It has often been said that adver
Using Is no game for a quitter. The
community that wants to advertise
itself unquestionably will get better
results thru persistency rather than
'spasmodic outbursts at Irregular In
tervals. Each community has Its own
problems to work out In exploiting
Itself.. General rules cannot be ap
plied to all cases. Also, discretion
must be used In methods of advertis
ing, as exploitation which brings the
wrong sort of people to a community
is worse than useless.
Getting the City Ready to Sell
One town may have exceptional
facilities for the development of ser-
taln Industry and naturally this must
le made its "leader." At the same
time, a single line should not be de
veloped at the sacrifice of other lines
fully as Imuortant to the balanced
development of the community, If
not so spectacular or prominent
Many communities do their adver
tising blindly and with a view of
merely attracting new population.
This Is not a sound premise nor is It
satisfactory, as frequently the results
lead to a more rapid Increase In pop
ulation than can be assimilated.
This has the effect of changing the
newcomer from a hopeful, ambitious
new resident to a dissatisfied, par
tially discouraged knocker. It is bad
business to acquire population faster
than It can be converted into co-ordinating
units.
By making a complete survey be
fore beginning to "toot Its own horn"
a community has the advantage of
directing Its efforts toward round
ing Itself Into a normally developed
city. An assay should be made of
what it has to offer new residents
along Industrial, commercial, social
and educational lines. If industry lu
lacking, centralized effort should be
devoted to bringing this up to nor
mal If the social life is not at par.
an effort should be made to bring It
to par, or above. Many do not real
ize the value of good schools, librar
ies, churches, parks and kindred in
stitutions in making a city attractive
to the person outside. The man with
a family who, incidentally, makes the
best citizen, considers carefully what
the environment of his children will
be before making the move to an un
tried community.
Appealing to the Right Class
Some cities have made successes
by specializing In their advertising
instead of being general. They have
concentrated upon one line, so that
they acquire force and distinctive
ness ' Very materially. Other cities
are so constituted that they have
equal advantages in a number of dif
ferent avenues of endeavor and ex
ploit all of these.

, Community exploitation thru sys
tematic advertising la becoming
quite general. It was comparatively
new a few years ago,. The communi
ties that advertised as communities
could be counted on the fingers of
one hand'. Today to wideawake
town whose chamber of commerce Is
not constantly devising ways and
means of bringing It before the world
is an exception,
"How shall we advertise our com
munities" is a question frequently
asked. While In detail the answer to
each town will be different, a few
general observations will apply.
The first thing to do after deciding
to advertise Is to put the matter Jn
the hands of someone who under
stands advertising and not some en
thusiast who has no conception of
the Job. ADVERTISING 13 NOT A
KNACK, OR A GIFT, OR A TALENT
IT IS A SCIENCE AND CAN BE
DONE SUCCESSFULLY BY ONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS IT.
Money must be paid for advertis
ing a community Just as It Is pal l

Cheap advertising is much the same
as "cheap" anything else. This does
Lot mean, however, that successful
advertising cannot be done at reason
able expense.
The City Advertising Built
Los Angeles has often been cited
as a city developed by Advertising.
One writer familiar with Its history
has called It "The City Advertising
Built." The first community adver
tising done by Los Angeles was with
In ten days after Its present Chamber
of Commerce was organized In 1SSS
a little more than thirty years ago.
Ten thousand booklets were printed
for distribution thruout the East, to
let the people know of the ambitions
and status of the city, which then had
a population of less than 50,000. The
advertising begun then was kept up
persistently thru the fat and lean
years. The Chamber of Commerce
stayed on the jjob and is still on th
Job. The population has doubled ev
ery ten years and there Is every In
dicatlon that the record will be kept
up when the Government takes its
1920 census.
If advertising had brought merely
an increase In the number of resi
dents, there might not be much oc
casion for recommending It. China
leads the world In population. But
tho sort of population Los Angeles
accumulated by advertising Is the
kind of people who spent $5,000,000
of their own money In developing a
harbor; put $23,000,000 Into an
aqueduct to bring pure mountain
water 230 miles from the snow-clad
Sierras; bnllt a great Intferurban
electric railway system; pay ,more per
capita for public education than any
city In the United States; have built
one of the finest systems of good
roads in the world; have taken the
lead in various other creditable mu
nicipal activities, and who are cred
ited with a larger percentage of home
owners than any city In the country.
That Is the way Los Angeles ad-
ivertlsed and Is advertising. It has
paid handsomely in tho past and is
expected to bring results In the fu
ture. The same principle applies to com
munity advertising as to any other
advertising and this was epitomized
by Sarah Bernhardt, when she ex
claimed, "How will the world know
that Bernhardt lives if they do not
hear of her?" 1

Secretary Favors
Trails, Telephones
Te Importance of trails, telephone
lines, and roads on the National For-
Cbts to facilitate tho early discovery
of fires and quick action to extin
guish them, is emphasised In the re
port of the Secretary to Agriculture
for 1918, which has Just been re
ceived by District Forester George
II. Cecil, of Portland.
The funds available for construc
tion work have been too little to per
mit of rapid progress In the develop
ment of the system of communica
tion on the National Forests, accord
ing to the Secretary, who also says
there should be provision for pushing
more rapidly the Improvement work
on these forests. He further sug
gests that provision be made for a
greater number of Forest guards and
for the organization of the protec
tive system each fire Reason at an
earlier date than this has formerly
been done1. For these purposes th'j
estimate submitted to Congnees In
eludes increases for specific Forests
totalling $230,808.00.
In 1918 the failure of the annual
appropriation act to pass Congress
until after the fire season was part
ly over caused some embarrassment
in meeting the situation. . Ordinarily
expenditures during the summer
months are greater than those for
the remainder of the fiscal year,
therefore the sums available under
the continuing appropriations of one

sixth of the annual appropriation for
the preceding year to cover the
months of July and August were In
sufficient to meet the situation. The
President, however, furnished re
lief by placing at the disposal of the
Secretary one million rollars as n
loan from the emergency fund.
The greater part of the entire out
lay for flre-flghtlng was on the rela
tively small number of Forests M
the Northwest which presented con
ditions of great difficulty. An un
usually severe dry season caused the
outbreak of fires before the summer
protective organization was ready
for them. The situation was met
with difficulty by the Forest Service,
whose personnel was somewhat de
pleted In numbers and much weak
ened by the loss of many of Its most
experienced men, who were absent

also made It difficult to secure good
men for temporary appointment 3
guards during the fire season and
bodies of men for fighting large
fires.
For many of the serious fires of
the Northwest thore was no resident,
population at hand to dra'w upon for
fire purposes, which made It neces
sary to organize forceB in towns and
cities scores if not hundreds pf
miles away; transport them by rail
road to points noanest the fire and
send them long distances Into the
woods, and there provide them with
equipment and food by packtraln.
Thus fires which in other regions
would b quickly put out gained
headway and in some castes burned
several days before the effort of
bringing them under control could
be made.
