IT TAKES TWO TO COOPERATE.
(Cottage Grove Sentinel.)
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

Putting on ones overcoat Is some
times so much of an effort tbat one Is
disposed to agree, with tbe old negro
who said:

puts In de nddab ahm, an' den yo' gibs
a gen'ral conwulsion." Exchange.
