SQUAItE DEALING Tou'll have customers contented if the goods in which you deal always are -' as represented in your advertising spiel. But if you deceive your patrons, lured by falsehoods to your store, there'll be angry men and matrons thirsting far your rich red gore. Claim ing woll and selling shoddy will not get you anywhere, and excuses large and gaudy will not make the matter square. I can sell a tinhorn sonnet to connumers now and then, but when they want odes, doggone it, they won't come to me again. I must do the best I'm: able every time I sell a song, or some gent will prod my gable with a pitchfork's rusty prong, Such excuses as I offer, broken health or Jim H. Jams, find the scorner and the scoffer and I cannot sell my psalms. Once you've fooled a human being, you have earned an ebon mark; and a hundred, that mark seeing, will avoid you as a shark. Let no bilking schemes en chant you, put temptation on the ice; you: may sting me once, I grant you, but you cannot do it twice. And the" dealer who 1b wiser than a wise old neltjng hen is tho honest advertiser who would have you come again. Odds and Ends Milwaukee, Wis.

George V Adams and Forrest Bradley, who an nounced recently the breaking of auto mobile road records between Astoria and Portland by making the 104-mile trip in two hours nnd 21 minutes, were lodged in the county jail Friday after noon on a complaint sworn to by Wal ter Qeren, special agent in the office of District Attorney Evans, charging violation of speed laws of the state. They wore released later on bail of $500 each. Insisting that road racing liad been countenanced all summer by the au thorities and that he was being "picked on" without Justice. Adams declared that it he was "going to be the goat" he would see to it that some rival su tombile drivers who had broken a few road records during months past would get into hot water also, if he liad to swear out warrants against them, himself. nora biuno sb cents L. R. Hill, most commonly referred to as "Dewey," la now ahead of the local hop growers at far as reoeiving tho highest price for his crop is con cerned. On Wednesday, Mr. Hill sold 29 bales his 1919 crop approximate ly 6800 pounds at 85 cents per pound. "Dewey" is such a soclalablo chap that he wish he had had 55,000 pounds In stead of 8800. FolK County Post. ABE MAE TIN SENATOR MILES POINDEXTER, of Washington, has announced his -candidacy for the presidency. He seeks the republican nomination on a stand-Dat platform. We do not know whether his candidacy is seriously con- siaereau it is, it instances the decadence of the repub lican party, and typifies its bankruptcy of ideas, ideals and leaders. Of course, this is a free country and there is no law against anyone's seeking the presidency. There are sev eral perennial candidates at Dr. Steiners popular resort, Poindexter's candidacy is simply another case of the megalomania of the political charlatan .enraptured with his own harangue. It is doubtful whether he can hypno tise the republican party, which has always selected as standard bearers men of character. - - Poindexter, like Johnson, and some other candidates seeking selfish aims at the expense of human welfare, has lustily hammered the league of nations and deluged the president with billingsgate in his frantic effort to secure publicity. Unlike Johnson, however, Poindexter has no record as a constructive executive. He has always been a wind-jammer, veering with the breeze apparently with out sincere convictions or party principles, save to hold office. A score of years ago Poindexter was an ardent free silver populist, leading Bryan parades; later a candidate for office in eastern Washington on the democratic ticket. When defeated he changed his residence and was elected to office as a republican and later as republican congress man. Then he deserted the republicans and was elected senator as a Bull Mooser, but later joined the republicans tp secure re-election. Since he has deserted the progres sives to become a stand-patter. Populist, democrat, re publican, progressive and stand-patter in turn, he is now running for president as a demagogue. DEFYING THE PRESIDENT. PRESIDENT WILSON has demanded that the coal strike leaders recall the strike order, declaring that under the circumstances the strike will not only be unjus tifiable but unlawful, and that as it would affect, the do mestic comfort and health "of the people, demoralize indus try and inflict widespread suffering, the "law will be en forced and means found to protect the interests nf the i- . 1 1 . nation in tne emergency', , In reply, John L. Lewis, actim? president of tho mm er's union; defies the president as follows; "I thank God we have a country where men may strike. May the pow er uj, my government never oe used to throttle and crush tne etiorts of the toilers to improve their material welfare and elevate the standards of their citizenship.' y " t The mine workers are in the wrong for they are abro gating an"agreement as to wages made with the sanction of the United States fuel administration which was to run during the war but not beyond next April. The peace treaty has not yet been signed, and the miners are treat ing their agreement as a scrap of paper. TVio n?fmJ 4U . i ' '"ill , . , ., cnuua ui wic Luneia w improve tneir material welfare and elevate the standards of their citizenship," consist in a demand for a 60 per cent increase in wages, a six hour working day and a five day week. The strike or der is the work of the labor leaders as no referendum has been taken by the men. In the anthracite strike, the strikers had public sym pathy and support because their demands were just. They were being worked as much as 12 hours a day, often 7 days a week on small wages, forced to live in unsanitary hovels and treated like serfs. In the present strike, the men are not entitled to public support, for they seek hi eh wages without a full day's work. President Wilson will have the support of the people in his efforts to prevent bic-headed rdi from plunging the country into misery, for no union is greater than the government and no union can dictate to the governmentand the people are not yet ready to Rus sianize our democracy. word to speak he had continued in a would-be Jocular manner: "you look so. pale and washed out this morning! Are you going to be one of those women who, if their husband stays out a little later than usual at night, the next day has a headache which should belong to him?" f I did not speak I could not. As I looked in the glass behind him. I knew he was right I did look pale and washed out. I saw that my fea tures were drawn but I knew it was because I was telling myself that I was the wickednest woman in the world the very wickedest! I,-Kate Gordon, had wished that my husband, the man to whom I had been married barely three years the father of my baby were dead! (Continued tomorrow.)

As was his wont, he did nnt yui an answer to hi question.

Hurriedly he took the cup from my hand and looked at his watch as the rumble of the motor told him that the car was at the door,,.; In his haste he swallowed his coffee noisily nnd I had all that I could do to keep my rasped nerves from protest ing. As it was, I must have moved uneasily, for he put his paper down and for the ftrst time that morning, gave me a seeing glance. ' "What Is the trouble? -Aren't yeu well V he inaulred nerfimntoi-liv with out waiting for a reply, he continued: "The trouble with you is, you don't have enough to do. You don't exer cise enough.
