RISKS BEING MOBBED (The editor of the Eugene lie had the following for the of yesterday:) Florida is discussing a plan advertise the state. The plan president of the Florida state" says: "A million dollars wisely spent in advertising would prove the most resultful investment of money that Florida has ever made." He adds: "Many of the business concerns that have en tered Florida have done so because they have been convinced by advertising." : Anyone who would suggest but it is true, nevertheless, that the best Investment Oregon could make would be to spend a million dollars in advertising in the leading magazines and States. Oregon is a good state. It mense -resources. It offers splendid .opportunities for profit. But the rest of the country doesn't know these things. All that is known about Oregon by the country east of the Rockies is that it rains constantly here and that this is the home heath of freak legislation. Both of these things are and more sunshine than the people persistently vote down But the east, which is abysmally ignorant about the west except California, which advertises persistently doesn't know that these things are untrue. It knows, little about Oregon and cares less. The only way to tell the east.the truth, about Oregon, and get it believed, is by intelligent Oregon, in one way and another, has spent a lot of money for so-called advertising in the past decade or so. But "most of the advertising we have done has never got beyond our own borders. That kind of advertising does us no good, for Oregon people know all about Oregon any way . What-we need is to scatter the truth about ourselves abroad, and the way to do that is by advertising. A REAL , - (Portland Arrival of the giant planes Portland marks a forward step coast.

READ THIS FIRST: Lynda .Fenton, dauj hter . of John Fenton. a periodical drunk ard, has obtained .her first Job as a typist In the of fie of Armltare ft Son, textile manufacturers, only a few days before. Ber father continually hurls In salts at her and her mother, who. he has told her, ran away with a man who had more money than! he. y .. , - Lynda's one friend and compan ion is Darld Kenmore. whoso Eth er haa sunk from prosperity to poTerty throuxh high llTlnnv Learning accidnUlly that Lyn-j da's father has hart her shoulder In a drunken fit, Darld bathe the Inflamed arm. only to hare her father, come -'in and make some rile Insinuations. She Is barely able to keep the two men from coming to blows. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY a a Chapter S . Etctt Girl Falls, for Darld D AVID KENMORE had always Ured In the big house just around tbe corner the house that had once been the pride of the town, but was now greatly in need of repairs; Just as Lynda's home.was but a wreck of the smart little cottage to which John Fen ton had brought, his dainty little English wife twenty years ago. ' ' Lynda remembered when Mrs. Kenmore was allre, Darie had not been allowed to play with the daughter of "old drunken Fen ton" if she knew it, but after herj death David's" father began to gamble In stocks and soon he was quite as poor as hers. Both children, when they be came old enough to understand what made them almost universal ly shunned by others of their age. talked the matter over and decid ed that some day, when they were older, they would build up both bouses right, or else sell them and buy other and more beautiful homes. Now, after years of hard work at school, while the city's business blocks steadily encroached on both homesteads, they were at last on the way to something which might make their dreams come true. , David, who had started to work two years before, already baa made a circle of friends, who, for ome reason, looked askance at Lynda; she had yet to learn that; even In these liberal days there are many things tolerated In man: which are not forgiven in a woman. t The last few years had been very hard for both of them. The older they grew, and tbe more they knew of the social strata, the more sensitive they, had become, the more they kept to themselves Since prohibition bad come in it was baraer to get liquor, ana their fathers spent more and more money on bootleggers and gaming tables. Many a time, when there was not enough food In Lynda's home to keen her from going to bed hungry, David had shared what little he had with her. John Fenton was a master, at his trade, but his drunken lapses had cost him one Job after an other,' untlk he was scarcely able to keep things going. It was David who had gotten Lynda her Job with Armltage A Son after her graduation from the high school In both Its commer cial and literary courses. For nearly two years David had been working as secretary to Armltage, senior, who. In reality, ran tbe business. It was only very recently that young Armltage had come into the office: consequent ly, Darld had never met the son of the elder man, because Just lately, at his own request,- be had been transferred to the sales force and had gone on the road. All the girls In the outside of flee had their eyes out for him, realising that he was. of all the younger crowd, the coming man in the firm. With the ' words , "Dear IDavle" on her lips. Lynda fell asleep to awaken early next morning. Ris ing as quietly as possible, ao as not to disturb her father, she toasted a piece of bread and hast ily drank a cup of coffee. ' The clock In the old . church down the street chimed seven. StUl she heard no sound : from her father's room. She hated to go away without waking him. : At last,' when she heard Davie's whis tle, she knew she could wait no longer. ; She left a - low- fire under the percolator, closed the door quiet ly, and went out. Soon Lynda .caught up with David, and as the sun was shin ing, and they were - young, thej could not be unhappy long. - They began to talk, as all young people do; about their ambitions and their future. Lynda arm was still swollen and lame, but she told herself she was. not go ing to think , about It. She had put all the troubles of yesterday behind her, -and would only, think of - the Joy. of today. David was home, she had a Job, the sun was shining, and she was tiappy. Suddenly black cloud floated across the sun and. as though in keeping with the shadow, David "I haven't said anything to you mm k f f it ill auto camp Unless we .can country, perhaps it is as well their camps. Make them better r until now about Ralph Armltage, Lyn. .They say he's a pretty bad lot, and I know he is a great wor ry to his father, who has been a prince to me. I am sure hell spot yon In a few days, when he re turns from the business trip he is on now. I think yon are about the only black head In the big room, and you're certainly the prettiest girl there. wToud better be a little stand offish with young Armltage.. : It would never do for a girl to let him think she might fall for him, If what I hare recently heard about him la true." Immediately Lynda thought David remembered what her fath er had said about taking her ware to a better market than himself, and her heart sank. She stopped still. In the almost deserted street. David, do yon believe that ev ery woman in the world only waits for the highest bidder?" David looked appalled. "What are you driving at, Lyn? What do you mean? Highest bidder. nonsense! I, for one, don't think so; not on your life." "Well, my father believes it. He keeps harping on the fact that my mother deserted us for a man who had more money than he, and he says that all women are the same. He Insists that the good women in the world are the ones no man wants. Is that the reason you want me to be on guard against Ralph Armltage? Do you think ho will want me?" David looked at Lynda In sur prise. Her Innocent question ap palled him. He had not realized untU now to what extent she had lived alone. He suddenly remem bered that he had never seen her with another girl more than once or twice in all the years they had grown up together. He became aware, also, of how much he had learnea and broadened since he had left school and gone to work. He felt a great wave of pity for this girl, who walked along so un- wjiotiuuBij Desiae mm. - He wondered what she would do and think when she heard the girls In the office talk of leadlna a ieiiow on, and whose kiss held the greatest thrill. "Lyn' Jn for a Jolt, all right," he said to himself, and felt a little sorry he had got her the. job at Armitage's. Strange, as he looked at her, he realised for the first time in all their childish companionship that Lynda's tremulous lips were red uu moisi, ana ner eyes very bright and beautiful. He told himself that he would see that Ralph Armltage kept away from her. and that he would Introduce her first. to Emily An drews, who seemed always to be able to take care of herself, al though she looked like- a lovely piece of Dresden china that would break if one touched it roughly. He was sure that she could tell Lynda who were the right ones tol know in the office. At the thought of EmUy, David almost forgot about Lynda, al though she trudged along beside him. Emily was a new type to him, and very fascinating. She asked so much, and he was always glad to give. When Lynda and he parted at the outside door of the offices. David went through the private ha.ll into a room where the elder Armltage sat In great formality and state,, while Lynda went Into the general office flUed with girls writing form letters, transcribing dictograph notes and filing or mak ing out bills. . It seemed to her that a hush settled down' upon them as she came in, but no one looked up to greet her. She knew instinctive ly that the minds, not the eyes, of every girl in the room; were npon her, and she, was sure it was be cause they knew she had come in with David Kenmore. Her arm and shoulder burned with pain, and. she felt as though everyone of those girls could see the disfiguring scar and wondered what had happened to her. At length, for she was about one-halt minute late, sfle seated herself at her desk and began to work. Then she made herself for get everything and everybody in the room. ' She kept her eyes and mind only upon the task in hand. : She did- not observe . a very good-looking man glance over at her desk, on hi way to a door at the farther end of the room. Nei ther did she look up, nntU she be came aware of a buzzing all about her.- vvv, '; -- " . "What's the matter?" she asked the girl at the nextdesk. "Arm! has come back," she an swered, "and if you ask me, I think' he spotted you the - first thlng.M (To be Continued) - BOX JONES WINS 1 WALLA WALLA. Mar. : 7.

The land of the thor oughbreds, where every other sport plays second fiddle. Folks still love their horses and their Derby here, and it galls them to see a movie in which a mama , horse, six year old, wins the sacred event, which Kentucki ana realise ia for three-year-olds only, and has been won by one of the feminine gender but once In three-quarters of a century. Al so to see the winner ridden by a girl who doesn't have to have any credentials, including racing ex perience. The Lexington Herald is draw ing comment through lletlng of early favorites for the big event It names Relgh Count as the lead ing favorite. This -cole, carrying the color of Mrs. John D. Hertz, of Chicago, won the Kentucky Jockey: club stakes and the Wal- den Handicap, as a two-year-old, and lost the Plmllco Futurity through an unfortunate Incident In the running. The Herald, how ever, selects Republic, owned by Polk Laffoon, of Covington, to beat Relgh Count Republic won his three racee last year, and then was withdrawn because of an ailment which Is thought to have disappeared. The Herald lists eight other probable entries In a first 10 group, the others are, Pete Wrack, Victor Ian, Vito, Toro, Dark Eagle, Sor tie, Misstep and Wacker Drive. Petee Wrack ran in the Bel mont Futurity and Plmllco event Victorian ie a Harry Payne Whit ney horse, and a full brother of Whiskery, last year's Derby win ner. Toro and Vito performed well last year. Sortie won two races on successive days. Misstep won the Great Western Handicap, laet fall, as well as another important event. Dark Eagle did not start last season, but showed remark able form In workouts. Francis Hogan, young Giant catcher, an unknown a year ago, already finds himself basking in the limelight of public attention a a result of the trade which sent him to the New York Giants, with Outfielder Welch, In exchange for Rogers Hornsby. In Hot Springs, Ark., the day the Giant battery squad arrived there for preliminary . workouts before Joining the regulars at Au gusta, Fla., Hogan was the big topic under discussion. Now, ordinarily, a rookie catch er would receive very little atten tion alongside the regular battery men and the old-timers. But that day found most folks ft turning their attention toward Hogan. "There's the chap who was traded to the Giants In that Horns by deal." said the fans, a they watched tbe men unlimber the first time. The 18 other members of the squad played second fiddle. Apparently Hogan isn't the kind of a lad that this sort of attention will make self-conscious. He showed bis complete disregard for the ordinary conventions when he delivered himself of the immor tal remark that the deal was one tn which "the Glanta got the best of It" Hogan Immediately on his ar rival at Hot Springs found him self wished Into the rounds of golf and what not outlined for the visitors. He took advantage of the extra training period to cut down his weight If he faces a handicap In making the grade with the New York club it is the handicap of a tendency to become heavy. He ' can carry some weight, however, i Sports DoneBrorm BLANKS THAT ARE LEGAL saving as compared to made to order formi : v lWAUlS ior at a Dig mSfnMnH""11 ?f Notlce- Wi Forms, Assign Bnfof iu S!5i rP f ?rm8' Quit CWm D"V Abstract forms, Sl2Sf Sf Promissory Notes, Installment Notes, cJaflST Scale R- Drivateuse PHr V c ""prepared Br-ftSVS&S ?.e fram 4 nt to " .. iw ww VCU IS. - PRINTED AND FOR SALE BY : The Statesman Publishing Co.
