FOR INSTANCE if you are selling an automobile a prospective purchas
er wants to know the make of the car, the model, the condition and
the year made, if recently overhauled, what condition the tires, body and
upholstering are in and the price. He wants to know what equipment and
accessories will go with the car, whether an exchange would be considered
and the reason for your wanting to sell, j
If you have a room to rent the prospective renter will want to know
how many rooms, size, the location, furniture and attractive features and
conveniences, if there is closet room, if there is a telephone to use, kind of
roomer you prefer and the rate ask. j j '
Suppose you have a cow to sell the party wishing to buy, wants to
rknow description, breed, age, pedigree, whether fresh, how much milk giv
7 tag, prices, terms, delivery and be sure to mention your phone number as
; well as giving full directions of your location.

for selling and your price and terms and also when and how to inspect the
house, your location and telephone number. ... ..

Of course there are some of the above suggestions that would not apply
always and sometimes there will be many things not mentioned here that
C should be included in your advertisement But surely you will find that if
' through your advertisement you will give a description that will give the
prospective purchaser a clear picture of what you have to offer you will
: get better results. 1

Tlie Recall
Editor Statesman:
I note that in your editorial "A
Recall." In today's Statesman, yon
Eay, "The grangers want, the life
of the? petlons only 30 days. I
am at & loss to know where yoa
got that Ideai'a's I wrote the reso
lution and an quits sure "that no
such thought,, is to" be; found In
tald resolatica. ' I do not have a
copy of the resolution at hand, but
ray memory 1 that the resolution
asks that "recall petitions shall be
filed with t the proper officials
within a stated time limit after
date when such petitions are first
submitted , for; signatures.";- This
could be tetist' stated by providing
that recall petitions be filed within
a certain time after being-submitted
for and siren "a title. -This
would, oblvate the necessity ot
proving the time when time limit
luust begin as the date of title
designation would 'be a matter of
record.- r 1 'J -'
I cair "your " attention to this
natter, es the 3 0-day limit of the
editorial referred to above is alto
gether short and places the
Marion County Pomona in the po
sition o adrocaUng ' an Impracti
cal amendment to our laws.
I do cot agree with your idea
that "ttalnscall does not com
mend itself to thoughtful people.
That is the kind of people - that
HI
10
the recall does commend Itself " to;
but such, people are not favorably
Impressed with the method is that
hare so often been used in connec
tion with the invoking of the re
call. .' " . ....
The recall Is only an application
of the principle used by an em
ployer to discharge an incompet
ent or dishonest employee; and I
do not believe ' that you,' Mr.
Editor, would wish : to see that
power of the employer abrogated
or set aside. It the powe to dis
charge an undesirable" employee
Is a good thing, why Is nor, the
same power a good thing lor the
people collectively? .': '.v "

AS TO FRAXK,TRlGnXMAN
Editor Statesman: -
In today's issue of your paper is
a communication from a lady, Sar
ah E. Oliver, .requesting Hon. W.
II. Hobson to state what was the
attitude ot Mr. Pranif Wrightman
on the prohibition question during
the last 30. years. - i , C
I can answer her question fully.
because I was a prohibitionist dur
ing, all cfthose; years, not in the
party' sense, v but to sustain the
principle. Mr.. Wrightman ; was
not a' prohibitionist.
It Is also true that Mr. Hunt, his
opponent for county judge, was
not a 1 prohibitionist, neither was
Judge Bushey, Judge Bingham,
Judge Z Kelly, Governor Pierce,
Secretary of State Kozer, Judge
McBride, Jndge Burnett, Judge
Rand, Judge McComb, Judge
Brown, Judge Bean, neither of the
candidates for mayor, the States
man, the Journal and fully half
of the church people were not
known In the fight.
It is. true Mr. Wrightman has
held many official positions, but it
is alse true that he has so con
ducted himself in office as to give
no cause for criticism. No person
can point to any case of neglect
or dishonesty in his oficlal career.
With the single exception of hav
ing . been elected sheriff, Mr.
Wrightman has been appointed to
all the offices he has held, because
of his ability apd faithful service.
And it Is a' wonderful record, that
this man, so long in the service of
the people in both county and state
positions, has so conducted himself
that he has never been charged
with dishonesty or unfaithfulness'.
By what criterion, shall we meas
ure a candidate's fitness for office.
except to inquire how has he serv
ed in the offices he has held?
Mr. Wrightman has many quali
fications for this " office. . He . is
honest, ha has lived in the county
all his life and knows it as well as
any man. He is a good competent
lawyer, and no-man who is not a
lawyer can be a successful county
judge. ' ' .
Judge Bushey was a lawyer and
his great success was largely due
to that fact. Estates to the value
of $100,000 pass through that of
fice every year and each is settled
not as private business is conduct
ed, but according7 -to prescribed
forms of law. Every. mistake of
more;:; than -minor . importance
means an appeal to the circuit
court with Jts attendant cost to the
taxpayers as well as to the estate.
The county judge has charge of all
juvenile, cases for boys and girls
and must follow prescribed laws;
he can grant injunctions in all
civic cases and can impose fines
and jail sentences, and hold crim
inals to the grand jury, commit
the Insane and pass on the legal
ity of all county contracts, bills
and fees and claims of officers.
It Is therefore, absured to say that
any man, however otherwise qual
ified, can be a success as county
judge unless he Is well grounded
in the law. t, :
Having known Mr; Wrightman
during all his official Ufe. I chal
lenge all men to point to a single
ease where he has been unfaithful
to his trust or been accused of
graft. In any form. ' 'r

THOSE OLD SADDLEBAGS
To the Editor:
A pair of saddlebags constitute
j a very interesting feature of the
equestrian statue of "The Circuit
Rider, which was unveiled on jtbe
capltol grounds on Saturday, last.
One of the veteran circuit riders
of the northwest was Rev. T. F.
Royal, , who passed away a few
years ago at the ripe old age of
90 years. A lew years ago the
Pacific Xoapt Advocate published
an excellent picture of Father
Royal busily' engaged with his
needle and thread in repairing an
old pair of saddlebags, which had
done him. fifty years of faithful
service. Accompanying the pic
ture was an article upon the serv
ice rendered, of which the follow
ing is a copy:
; "These old saddle bags have a
very interesting story to tell.
Though very old, they are not my
ilrst pair, for they entered the
itinerancy only fifty years ago,
and were successors to a pair
which was utterly worn out by
hard service. .These I know look
old and wrinkled enough to have
seen a century's use. If you
would know where the wrinkles
came from, ask the stormy winds
and pelting rains. Ask the black
spattering mud of Southern Ore
gon, the orerhanging dripping
brush of Coos Bay trails. Ask the
snowdrifts on the summit of the
Cascade mountains, and the lono
juniper trees of the Goose Lake
country, which gave the itinerant
slender protection from the frosts
of that elevated plateau. . They
have furnished a pillow for the
tired head during many -niguis of
bivouac. Ask the man who
hauled them out of a pile of drift
wood in the South Umpqua rivert
where they had lodged after be
ing washed from the bs-1- - he
preacher's horse wmle swimming
a swollen stream. . T
If these stories of buffetings
are not .enough to explain their
superannuated , looks, inquire con
cerning .the service which, they
have rendered. "They were the
traveling preacher's' library and
wardrobe and often his larder;
sometimes the bin for his horse's
oats, a peck at a time. Outward
bound they were always loaded
with Bibles, Sunday school libra
ries and other books 'from - the
'Concern. - Inward bound they
came loaded with ham, a flitch of
bacon,- a chunk of fresh meat;- or
a dressed chicken or turkey; They
have conveyed all kinds of dry-goods,-
groceries, boots, shoes,
hardware, and more than once an
assortment of Christmas toys.
These bags have been stretched to
their utmost capacity with vegeta
bles of all kinds, they have ven
tured to cargo such explosives as
eggs by the dozen, gallons of
sauerkraut, often a: whole cheese.
and once a gallon of soft soap, and
many times, fruits fresh, dried,
canned and preserved. All these
were usually counted on "quarter
age.,.; x v, ; nHn i
Nothing ever strained their
seams, nor tested my horse more
than the numerous geological
specimens, and relics ; of Indian
art in store, and in basket weav
ing ., for the cabinet of the Ump
qua, academy, and which now
may been seen in the museum of
the Willamette, university. To
the itinerant's wife the saddle
bags were like a pack of Provi
dence, and to his children their
opening was" , like the coming, of
Santa Claus every four weeks.
Those faithful receptaclesalways
brought some happy surprise for
the whole household. Dear old
companion, you and I are looking
not so young as once we did.
Twentieth century folks consider
us relics of an ancient day. But
if we are fossils of a past age, we
bear hyeroglyphic wrinkles In our
faces, in which could be decipher
ed a story . of , mingled tears and
laughter, some comedy, and a
touch of tragedy, -and of mifhty
triumps."

MAKES; FAT
PEOPLE SLIM
Xew York Physician Perfects
' HarmleiM Method of Re
ducing Weight , .
:: The loss of as much as a pound
of excess fat a day with no harmful
results is the record made by many
patients, of Dr. R. Newman, a li
censed practicing physician of 286
Fifth Avenue, New York, who an
nounces that- he has , perfected a
treatment which has quickly rid
fat people of excess weight. What
is more remarkable is the Doctor's
statement that he has successfully
treated thousands of patients for
fat reduction without change of
diet or unnecessary exercise. It
Is also said that fat people who suf
fer from chronic rheumatism, gout,
asthma and high blood pressure
obtain great relief from the reduc
tion of their superf lous flesh. Real
izing that this sounds almost too
good to be true, the Doctor has
offered to send without charge to
anyone who will write him, a free
trial treatment to prove his claims,
as well aa his "Pay-when-reduced''
plan. If you want to rid yourself
of superfluous fat, write him to
day, addressing Dr. R. Newman,
286 Fifth Avenue, New York City,
Dept. R. . "...
cus that was to be held next week.
The refunding of the money for
the circus tickets would have been
an absolute impossibility for var
ious reasons, and to give the tick
etholders their money's worth, the
tickets will be accepted at the
dance for the admission charge,
the dances and the refreshments.
As a premium to the ticketholders,
one Ford car will be given away
the night of the dance, as there is
full value given for ' the tickets,
there can not be any objection
raised against this extra premium.
The arrangement committee ot
the Salem Shrine club has done ev
erything in its power to make the
dance a big success, . and the
friends of the Shriners will turn
out in large numbers without
doubt to make this dance one of
the outstanding events ot the
spring season. - Steelhammer's
Dance orchestra will furnish the
music." .

It is doubtful if any exhibits will

: Many freak sets and hook ups
havo appeared on the radio hor
izon this past season each one
bringing with it its quota of hys
teria. It la strange that the fan
will build circuit after circuit and
go on continuously spending his
money for new parts and bis time
In untiring and endless wiring
and assembly without getting at
least some; modicum of satisfac
tory results. The answer to all
this is: Buy a factory built set.
Also, get the. advice of a reliable
dealer who has tried out all the
heading types of sets. .j : ,
Experience along these , lines
has driven a large majority of
fans back to the- regenerative set
which is a good one. f Its only
trouble is that it radiates. Who
has not heard the chorus of the
"birdies"? We hope that some
one will shortly discover a simple
inexpensive device that can be
connected ahead of the regenera
tive set for the purpose, of : stop
ping radiation. We would be in
favor of a city ordinance com
pelling its use. Wouldn't a clear
air be nice? - .- -
There is only one new circuit I
know , of, that gives good results
and is easy, to build. This is the
"Neutrodyne.'r The five-tube set
works "best and ; you must use a
storage "A" battery. When you
learn that parts for a well-known
make sell for about $65 and the
assembled set sells for $120, you
can see some reason for building
it. However, this is the only cir
cuit I know of that is surrounded
by such conditions. You can now
buy the best regenerative sets to
be had for less than the parts
cost. , : .' i:'

that the superheterodyne is a
miracle of modern radio. ' That
one may tune in any East coast
station at will just as one tunes
in : California. ; And the assump
tion is that reception- is loud -and
clear. Just disabuse yourselves
pf this idea because it is not so!
A properly constructed "supefhet"
is an extremely sensitive piece of
apparatus and it will bring In dis
tanceand noise; Mr. Henry M.
Nelly in "Radio in the Home" for
April, writing editorially, says in
part: "Let me say, that my own
impressions, .after working, with a
number of superhets, is that it is
a somewhat better distance getter
and will give distance somewhat
more consistently than' most of the
other circuits on. the market.
Right here I think its advantages
stop . . . the superhet will
pick up noises that will not effect
the ordinary ; instrument and will
magnify these noises In volume to
such an extent that they frequent
ly will totally ruin the quality of
a concert" . I -have heard
it quite wildly said' that the su
perheterodyne will give twice the
distance of any' other set. This
is absolutely not true ... for
the man whose chief pleasure in
radio Is, reaching out over : great
expanses of land and sea; I should
say the superheterodyne is decid
edly worth while. For the man
who wants entertainment in his
home, I should say that the super
heterodyne is not worth the
money nor the trouble." i
The Grimes Inverse reflex cir
cuit is a modern circuit that seems
to us to be the last word in Radio
so far but don't try to build it;
BUY IT! It entails the use of a
storage A battery but It has only
one control knob. It's a dinger!
