University of Oregon, Eugene, March
20. Preparations for the big debate
with Idaho which la to occur here
Thursday night are nearing completion
and more than usual Interest is being
taken In the affair. On the whole Ore
gon's chances of winning seem very
good, although three out of the six
members of the two teams are new
this year. However, they have shown
excellent form in local debates and have
been working very hard.
The question to be debated this year
is, "Reaolved, That the presenc laws
relating to the admission of Chinese
immigrants to tne territory of the Uni
ted States should be extended to Jap
anese Immigrants." As this Is a ques
tion which is being discussed very gen
erally over the United States at the
present time the debate promises to
be very interesting.
The three state universities of Idaho,
Washington and Oregon will each have
two teams In these debates, an affirm
ative, which remains at home, and a
negative, which visits one of the other
institutions, xtius, Oregon's arrirma
live team will deoate with the Idaho
negative team at Eugene, while on the
same evening her negative team is
debating with Washington's affirma
tive teams st Seattle and Washington's
negative and Idaho's affirmative teams
are debsting at Moscow. All will de
bate on the same subject and the win
ner will be tne university whose two
teams receive the greatest number of
favorable decisions from the Judges.
The vote of each Judge counts as one
point.
The members sf the two teams are:
Negative Clarence Whealdon, '10. lead
er; Thomaa xownsend. 09, and E.-.rl
Kllpatrlck. OS. Affirmative Jesse Bond.
'09, leader, Walter Eaton, '09, and Hor-1
ton Nicholas, '10. Eaton was at first
a member cf the negative team and
Townsend waa on the affirmative team.
but their places were exchanged.
In the preliminaries they had been on
the other aides and the change would
necessitate working over entirely new
material.
The Idaho team which will debate
here will be: Robert O. Jones, leader,
Bruce B. Mudgett and Jewett Mattnews.
The Judges of the debate which is to
take place here are: President Crooks or
Albany college. Professor Prldeaux of
Willamette university and probably At
torney Earl c. uronaugn or fortiana.
A reception has been arranged in
honor of the two teams and of Bert
Presscott. winner of the intercollegiate
oratorical contest at Monmouth, which
111 be held at the dormitory under
the auspices of the Laurean and Phllo

Used Bis Picture.
A Washington friend tells an interest
ing story concerning Mr. Douglas and
his advertising methods. They didn't
publish pictures In the dally papers
when Mr. Douglas first entered busi
ness for himself, in 1876. No adver
tiser had ever made a practice of print
ing his portrait. Mr. Douglas' business
was small. He had begun It on a bor
rowed capital of $876. and he believed
that the way to Increase It was to ad
vertise. He was a clever ad writer in
the days when there were lew men
following that as a business lie
thought out some good ideas and oth
ers copied tnem.
Une nlgm ne was warning uume irum
his factory with his head bowed in
thought. He had concluded that there
was no use to put originality in on
advertising so long as it was of a sort
that other and larger manufacturers
could codv. And as he pondered his
eyes chanced to light upon a long bill
board, blazing from one end to the
other with lurid and inviting descrip
tions of the glories of Barnum's circus.
In the center of tho board, occupying
the space from the top-piece to the
ground, was a picture of P. T. Barnum.
'They can't copy Barnum's advertis
ing so long as he has his picture In It,''
was his thought, and the Idea that has
since contributed so largely to his busi
ness success followed like a flash. The
next morning he set out to put into
effect the combination of picture and
attractive wording In advertising. He
then and since, however, stucit to nis
belief that newspaper advertising waa
better in Its results thsn the billboards.
Today the face and the wares of Mr.
Doimlas could not bo more disassoci
ated than could the kaiser and his
moustache. The kaiser could shave his
moustache, but no one would believe
the ensuing pictures were of him. Mr.
Douglas could cease to join his features
and his shoes in his advertising, but
the public would not bellove they were
the same kind of shoes.

We have just received a carload of GARLAND
GAS RANGES, which includes many different styles
and patterns, ranging in price from $11.00 for the
single oven, three-burner stove, to $125 for our com
bination three-oven range. More gas ranges are now
being sold and used than ever, but people realize that
in the "GARLANDS" they have reached as near per-,
fection as possible. Gas stove buyers are fast learn
ing that the "GARLAND" trade-mark stands' for
superiority. Tests made between coal ranges and'
gas ranges have showed surprising results. In a test
of both, the loss with a coal range was 2 pounds and
IS ounces and with our gas range the loss was onlv
ji. . 1 pound and 9 ounces. On an average meal the loss
ifr of nutritive properties in foods when cooked over a
coal range was 60 per cent against 16 per cent' loss
by OUR gas range There: can be but one BEST.
