Elimination of the lone tima pay

.'Implements is one of the biggest prob
lems confronting the retail hard war 1
and Implement dealers of the north
west. , The fact Is empbasiied by K. W. Me
. Cullough of Chicago. secretary and
general manager of the National Ira-
pleraent at Vehicle association of the
United States, who is in Portland to
attend the tenth anneal convention of
J ha Oregon Retail Hardware k. Imple-
ment Dealers' association, which will
be held at the Imperial hotel tomor
row. Conditions Art Changed.
Judge George T. Baldwin of Klam
ath Falls, president of the Oregon
association, heartily agreed to Mr. Mt
Cullough's views.
; v "In the early days." said Mr. Mr
Cullough. "the pioneer usually was
blessed with a team and a wagon and j
tivniiie ana 11 was up to
somebody to help him get Implements
with which to bring from the soil the
-. crops that were to make this country.
: Bo the implement dealers sold the ma-.-.
cblnery on long time payments.
- "That practice has continued, al--"
though the necessity for it has largely
- disappeared. Many farmers will ask
: for long time when they want to buy
. implements for their farm, and then
will pay cash for an automobile. We
do not contend the implement business
Should be put on a cash basis, but the
time element should be shortened and
let the farmer have the benefit of
lower prices that would be possible.
"Another need is the standardization
f products," continued Mr. McCuilogh.
. "We have too many kinds of Imple
ments for the same kind of work."
D. F. Barber of Boston, president of
. Jbe National Retail Hardware Dealers'
; association, is expected to arrive today
also to attend the Oregon convention.
:. Representative dealers from all the
territory tributary to Portland are ex-
- pected to be In attendance. The meet-
jiik win viku i i.ju o cioca tomorrow
.afternoon.
Members of the executive committee
of the association are expected to meet
, with President Baldwin this afternoon.

Station, Barrack and Docks
Are Shelled According to
Announcement in Berlin.
Berlin. Jan. . (I. X. 8.) A Ger
man aeroplane has bombarded Dover,
according to announcement here today.
The statement from the admiralty
said:
"A O'nnin naval aeroplane on the
night of January 22 dropped bombs
1 pon the station, barracks and docks
st Dover."
Dover is in Kent county. 8 mile
routtait of London. In Kent county,
Fokkers yesterday raided twice, ac
cording to official announcement from
London, though the locations were
withheld.
Dover Is enclosed by chalk cliffs, on
the northwest side of the Strait of
Cover, and on the cliffs are a cast!
and detached forte.
The town has a good harbor, and !t
lies opposite the French town of
Calais, forming one of the chief ports
of communication between England
and the continent. It has shipbuild
ing and sail and ropemaklng worka
Its population la over 45,000.
The county of Kent, where the at
tacks occurred, is in the southern
most portion of England. The coun
ty Includes a part of the city of Lou
don. From the wording of the official
statement, however. It Is apparent
that the attacking aeroplane did not
reach the city. The hydroplanes mere
ly bombarded the coast.
There has been much discussion in
the English newspapers regarding the
new Fokker type of aeroplane perfect
ed by the Germans. It is said to excel
air craft of the allies in every way
According to a P rench airman who
encountered one of the Fokkers, "It i
a huge monster, making a terrific
noise, much noisier than 'a Zeppelin.
It is iron clad, carries four machine
guns and a bomb thrower. Is of 700
horsepower, flies at a speed of 110
miles an hour and Is capable of re
maining in the air a long time."
The last previous attack upon Lon
don waa made on October IS, when ia
persona were killed and 114 wounded.

' London, Jan. 24. (I. N. S.) A large
proportion of London's., population Is
aware of th exact locality visited by
the German air raiders who are offi
cially described as having throwa
bombs on the east coast of Kent.
The London Times in an editorial
asks:
"Is there really any military ad
vantage in th nortfntiiAtiQ mviUrv

of the air raids on these Islands?
There were two such raids within 12
hours yesterday, one delivered In
bright moonlight and the other at high

numbers of people who knew exaotly
where they took place. The enemy air,
men were certainly under no illusions
as to their whereabouts.
