TEN TESTS OF A TOWN Yesterday there was told here how the city of San Diego had bought new residents by the expenditure of a small advertising appropriation. Today we hve to offer 10 tests of a town as prepared by L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism at the University of Kansas. Mr. Flint's idea Is, of course, that you cannot sell a town until you have something to sell and he has prepared these 10 tests as a means of bringing out those facts concerning a town which people want to know before they are ready to accept it as their own. Here are the 10 tests: 1. ATTRACTIVENESS Shall I like the town its "atmosphere"? Does it have the beauty of shaded streets and other beautiful features? Is it a quiet, roomy, airy, well lighted town? Does it have attractive pub lic buildings and homes? Is it well paved? Is it clean in every sense? 2. HEALTHFULNESS Will my family and I have a reasonable chance to keep well in that town? How about its water supply? Its sanitary system? . Its methods of milk inspection? Its health depart ment? Its hospitals? Is it without any congested district? 3. EDUCATION Can I educate my family and myself in that town? How about its public schools pres ent and future? Its institutions of higher education or of business train ing? Its libraries? Its lecture and concert courses? Its newspapers? Its postal facilities? 4. PEOPLE Shall 1 like the people of the town? Are they "home folks" without false . exclusiveness? Are they neighborly and friendly? Is the town free from factionalism? Does it have strong religious, frater nal, and social organizations? B. RECREATION Can I have a good time in that town I and my family? How about the theatres, museums, gymnasiums, parks, etc? Are there active agencies for provid ing good entertainments, athletic contests, etc? Are inviting oppor tunities for pleasure drives afforded by well paved streets? 6. LIVING Can we live reason ably in that town? Are the best of modern conveniences available for its residents electricity, gas, tele phones, etc? Are the housing and shopping . conditions ' favorable? Rents, taxes, and prices fair? Hotels good? Home and truck gardens and dairy products plentiful? 7. ACCESSIBILITY Can we go and come, easily? Does-the town . have adequate railroad connections and train service? Street car lines? Interurban lines? Well marked auto mobile routes and bard surfaced roads? " I Id I 8. BUSINESS Can I make good use of capital in that town? Are there good banking facilities? Manu facturing interests? Up-to-date stores? Good shipping facilities? Favorable labor conditions? A pros perous farming territory? Fair real estate values? Reasonably cheap power? Active co-operation among business interests? 4. EMPLOYMENT Can I get a job in that town at fair pay and with good prospects for the future? Can I count on co-operation from or ganizations making it their business to help introduce and 'establish new commercial interests and to welcome new citizens? 10. PROGRESSJVEXESS Shall I find that I am In a live town hav ing a progressive city government, active civic organizations, modern fire protection, ;ind a pull-togethor spirit In everything a town with a future? Following tils statement of the 10 tests Mr. Flint says: "You cannot control (hit climate, (5pp!inRhi)mos af Wait Mason, Man Wanted JC 4F1 01 I sometimes wish that I could find a patient man and strong, a fellow of receptive mind, who'd listen all day long, while I relate how tough I feel, describe the aches and pangs that torture me from roof to heel, and hurt my ancient fangs. I know it isn't good or wise to tell such tales as these to neighbor people, who despise all stories of disease. The cops at once impatient grow, when I get on their beat, and spring my narrative of woe, of aching head and feet I tried it on a crippled gent who could not get away, and on my head his staff was bent; it spoiled for both a day. And strangers, when they hear me talk, remark, "You are a bore ; you'd better take a good long walk and come this way no more." And yet I feel the pressing need of some one who will hear my tales of vitals gone to seed, of toothache in my ear ; of all the divers aches and pains my system can disclose; of fever in my seething veins and chillblains in my nose. I'd pay a man a decent wage if he would calmly sit and listen to me while I rage about my latest fit. But no one seems to want the job, men sigh and turn it down; I've offered it to every swab who hangs around the town. The poorest fellow shakes his head, and says, with aspect sour, "No! Either you or I'd be dead before you'd talked an hour." pluuoois who croHMod on the old Ore gou Trull.

The first big Job of a good townsalesman Is to see to it that his "commodity" is right." On first reading the tests our im pulse was to take each one as a sub ject for discussion and offer our own answers to the various questions asked. After thinking the idea over, however, we concluded that the more important thing was not what we thought but what the people In gen eral thought all over town. With this in mind we aBk the readers of The Bulletin to study these various tests, apply them-to the community and write us letters discussing them, one letter to each test. As a slight incentive we offer a prize of $2 for the best letter on each test, or a total of $20 in prizes. The only rules are that letterB be written legi bly on one side of the sheet and ac companied "by the writer's name. The name, however, will be omitted from the publication if desired. It is planned to publish the let ters discussing the tests beginning on Tuesday next. Cut out Mr. Flint's list above and begin writing letters tonight. A few days ago a large proportion of Bend's population moved to Priue vllle tor the day, supporting, high school and grade athletes In their fight for track and field honors. Such support was well merited, and served to establish a stronger bond between the pupils and those whose school days have been put behind them. An other opportunity to strengthen this feeling Is offered in the annual sen ior play to be given tomorrow aft ernoon and Friday night. Patrons of the school and others will find that their support of the production is not misplaced. .

H. FITHIAN Republican Candidate . Williams a Joke as Vice-Chairman Flthlan's opponont, Relph E. Williams, has been sidetracked by tho National Committee to harmless vice chairmanship and Is uaoloss to Oregon. Carrying kid gloves In one hand and a cane In the other, his hands are full and he has not been able to do a single thing tor Oregon during the 14 years he has been on the Committee If the hours spent by Williams at Portland's awollnnt club had been devoted to working for Oregon, he might have accomplished somotblng for our people. What is Wrong With Williams .Williams has no chance of becoming National Chairman and running tho presidential campaign in 1924, or oven tho Wostern end of It. Tho reason is that the National Commlttoo seems extremoly unwilling to trust Williams with the management of even tho Pacific CoaBt part of tho national campaigns. For lnstanco, In 1918, when a Hoglonal Director for the Coast -was selected, tho Commlttoo turned Williams llown in favor of Raymond Ilnnjamin of Ban Francisco. Thon, in 1920, whon Harding was running, Williams was again Ignored and Wimor K. Dovor of Taooma was choHen to conduct the Campaign on tho Coast, What Is wrong with Williams? , ' . Is Williams Loyal to Nominees? All over Orogon Republicans are discussing Williams' connection with the campaigns of cortnin Republican nominees for United States sonatnr, and are usklng the nuosllon, DID WILLIAMS DO HIS FULL DUTY UY THEM?
