The Bend Bulletin uses the recent invitation extended country editors 4 to banquet with Portland wholesal ers, manufacturers and Jobbers as the tasis for a rather clever editorial calling the attention of Portland in terests to the fact that, although they are making almost daily requests for free space In the country papers, they offer nothing in the way of paid ad vertising. One of the things that is the mat ter with Oregon is the fact that so many Oregonlans buy eastern-made goods seemingly In preference to Oregon-made goods. The aid of the newspapers is desired in counteract ing this. The newspapers are always asked to do their share and a little more when it comes to boosting tor home trade, but the newspapers are going to adopt a new slogan, "The newspapers help those who help themselves." In fact, the newspapers have practically adopted that slogan Already. The adoption of that slogan means that they will at all times stand ready to help the manufactur ers and merchants in boosting tor home trade, but they are not going to spend their time and money In boost ing the game of someone who hasn't gumption enough to do a little boost ing for himself. With manufactur ers and merchants doing their part, the newspapers will be found leading the fight. It used to strike us as funny that the retail merchants who are always after the newspapers to ' boost for home trade are not consistent enough to take their own medicine by uuying home-made, Oregon-made ' goods "when able to get them. As far as the manufacturer is concerned this Is as had as if the ultimate consumer bought direct from the eastern cata log house. . i When we found that our merchants carried Royal baking powder. Na tional biscuits. Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes, Ostermoor mattresses, Rexall remedies, Heinz's 57 varieties. Chase & Sanborn's coffee, 3-in-l oil, . Dutch cleanser, Ivory soap, Nabisco wafers, Barrington Hall coffee, Bur pee's seeds, Campbell's soups and a few hundred other eastern-made ar ticles, we used to ask ourselves why in the name of common sense did merchants carry these articles if like goods of as good quality were made at home. Until we asked a few questions we thought the merchants were entirely &t fault, but we have since found that they carry eastern-made goods be cause their customers demand them. Dealers haven't the time to argue, or don't care to risk offending the cus tomer by trying to get him or her to try an Oregon-made article in place of an eastern-made, so they carry the things their customers ask for. The customer has seen the names of these eastern-made goods In dis play type so often and the names have become so impressed upon his mind that he aBks for these brands with out hardly knowing why. There Is one solution for this prob lem,, and the eastern manufacturer who ships his goods from the Miss issippi river and the Atlantic sea board and sells them In competition with Oregon-made goods has shown ub one of the most important things to do. It Is to so impress upon the buyer the name of Oregon-made . goods that he will ask for them just as. he now asks for Royal baking powder, Na-bisco wafers, National bis cuits or other nationally advertised articles. Then the merchant won't have to carry eastern-made goods to satisfy his customers. And it isn't going to do any good to sit around and go to sleep theor-' iztng about these things the way we j have done in the past. While we ere sleeping someone at Cottage Grove may read ft magaiine, or a Portland paper, or The Cottage Qrovo Sentinel. A display line catches his eye. The next day he buys a Klrsch- baum suit, because that Is what the display line told htm to buy. Of course he could got better clothes made of Oregon wool, but he has never seen a display lino In The Cot tage Grove Sentinel that would loud him to believe that woolen goods were even made In Oregon, consO' quently the money spent for that suit goes to pay laborers who spend all their money on the other side of the continent. Oregon manufacturers have got to meet eastern alertness with equal alertness. They have got to turn In difference towards Oregon-made goods into a demand for them. With Oregou manufacturers spend ing enough money with the news papers to show their, good Intentions the cooperation of the newspapers could be secured and the two united would make an Irresistible force that would make the eastern manufac turer sit up and take, notice, and put the eastern catalog In the garret only to be used as a warning to future generations. The newspapers are always roady to cooperate. All they want is some one to cooperate with them. They cannot cooperate alone. Tha Value of Birds. Without birds successful agriculture would become ImiwssiWe and the de struction of the greater part of all veg etatlou would take place. New York state uow pays an annual Insect tax of $10,000,000, and birds are the chief agents In keeping this tax from In creasing yearly. As consumers of weed seed a single species, the tree Bparrow, is estimated to cousume about 000 tons in New York state each year. The rav ages of field mice and other rodents are kept in check by hawks and owls, and the farmer upon whose land a bawk or owl stays is saved upon an average $30 a year by each owl or hawk. The damage done by some few species of birds to growing crops is more than offset by the benefits of their work In destroying insects, ro dents and weed seeds.' New York Sun.

Tho Saa of 8pae. The mind cannot comprehend what is meant by the four little words In the expression "the sea of space." If the volume of "space" included within our solar system which Is perhaps but a single train of plauets among hundreds of millions of it similar kind were oc cupied by one single globe 5.000.000,000 miles .in diameter It would be but as a featber-m the marvelons spread of "Va cancy" surrounding it In fact, it bas been calculated tbat in the space occu pied bf our solar system 2.700.000.000. 000.000 globes of the size of our earth could revolve, each at a distance of 500.000 miles from the other, and the whole business would be nothing, for there is no wall to tbe treasure vault of heaven. Exchange. Personal Responsibility. There is such a thiug as personal re sponsibility which cannot be delegated to another. In tbe nary, for example, we dock ships, and tbe docking officer is held personally responsible. Dis bursing officers in tbe nary are per sonally responsible for every payment made not only by themselves, but by their assistants. They cannot delegate responsibility to tbe pay clerks even for the petty cash. F. C. Coburn in Industrial Management. Tho Operation.
