THE NEWS RECORD (Twicea-Week.) An independent newspaper the Wa'lowa News, estab lished March 3. 1899. Published Wednesdays and Satur days at EnterprUe, Oregon, by c i -.i.JiSJ. PRESS . i ...aa iide Ooart House Squart . 3 in the Enterprise postoffice as seoad-clasa matter. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1909. DOES IT PAY? Ib business dull? Don't the goads move In spite of the fact you have placed "off season" prices on them? A&yhe you are making too much of a secret about It. Even your own customers haven't heard of the Ijw ,ri ea you are making on winter goods, or many of them would be bay ing now for next winter's usa. Why not try a little publicity steam in the way of newspaper advert.li ins? It h is helped others; it will help you. The beit merchants everywhere say there is no advertising tlni' equals the local newspaper, when the advertising follows the known rulo" for succeis In advertising: Up to date, seaionable goods offered with price stated; or off season offerings with cut price; always make good what Is said In the advertisement; never run same ad twice, and final ly, keap at it long enough to give it a thorough trial. If you follow those rules and don't get results we will admit adver Using in the home paper doesn't pay. It doesn't cast any more t: advertise right In this paper, than It does to run stale ads. From present Indications the sugar beet culture will be given a good test In the valley this coming sea 'son. A number of public spirited land owners have offered land and water at a low rontal In order to have the test male. This Is com imendable on their part and it Is wel' for the valley. There has bee some conflict of testimony whethai sugar beet culture was good for r community or not. The way to settlo It, Is by a thorough test That will be male. A pay roll is the thing. Elgin Is rejoicing be ansa a big lumber com pany has been foriaed over there that will employ many men. She has a right to be happy. It may make up for the town much of what was lout by the extension of the railroad. Trade and commerce are all right, but nothing makes for ad vance In popula'lon, bank deposits, price of property and general pros perity like a pay roll. The machine Republicans who bolted the regular nominee far speak er of the Illinois house and joined with the Domocra's In electing Shurt leff, are called Ropocrats. That name would fit the Oregon machine Republicans who bolted Cake for Chamberlain, not because they like Chamberlain, but with the avowed object the Oregon I an says of bring ing statement No. 1 In disrepute. THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES. The man who advertises Is aggres sive and progressive. He Is the one who does most to build up his com munity. In this he may incur the ill-will of his non-progresslve com pet,. Horn, but he dons the business and wells the goods. He Is the booster and not the knocker. While ho may be doing well he believes In doing better. While in business he will work It for all there Is in it. He Is neither penny wise nor pound fool ish. The money spent In advents Ing Is not thrown away, nor wasted and the advertiser knows It. Every dollar spent In Judicious advertising yields large returns. The man who never advertises but sits around and grunts and growls at his successful competitors and kicks and knocks at the town docs not corral the trade. Trade la like everything animate. It likes coaxing and needs to be ought, Ruslness Is greater than It seems, Its possibilities Infinite. Suc cess depends upon management and not locality. The world Is wide and after a man has corralled his own country there are 12,r00 miles It ft In either direction. For that Terrible Itching. Enema, tetter and salt rheum keep their victims In perpetual tonne it. The application of Chamberlain's Salve will Instantly allay this Itching and many cases have been cured by -its use.

GEO. W. HYATT, President. A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of Infectious diseases. Consumption, pneumonia, diphtheria, and scarlet fever, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. The culture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when 8 good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the development of the germs of these diseases. That Is why this remedy has proved 80 uni versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your i-old quickly, but minimizes the risk ot contracting these dangerous dis eases. For sale by Burnaugh & Mayfield. Read the advertisements. That A 1 IEY
