DALLAS, OREGON, AUGUST 2, 1907.
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronise Dallas people.
Oregon has a few hot days to sum
mer, but the heat is not of the kind
that kills. Although the thermometer
climbed up to the 100-niark in many
places in the state Tuesday afternoon
no prostrations were reported, and
laboring men pursued their usual
tasks without suffering serious
inconveDi?nce. The warmest days in
Oregon are always followed by
deliciously cool nights, and the work
ing man arises from his bed in the
morning rested and refreshed for
another day's toil. Oregon's climate
Is all right, even if we are inclined to
grumble at it a little occasionally.
Every newspaper publisher in Ore
gon should plan to attend the annual
session of the Oregon Press Associ
ation, to be held at Seaside the last
week in August A program or un
usual interest will be prepared, and
the discussion of topics of interest to
the trade will prove helpful to every
publisher and printer. Two days will
be devoted to business and two to sight
seeing. A trip to Fort Stevens, a ride
over the Columbia bar, and a day at
the Astoria regatta are among the
attractions in store for the visiting
editors. President Ireland and the
members of the Executive Committee
are working hard to make the meeting
successful, and they should be given
the hearty encouragement of every
newspaper publisher in the state. The
publishers of Oregon owe it to them
selves, and to each other, to build up
and strengthen the State Press Associ
ation, and the way to build up the
Association is to attend its meetings.
Don't stay at home and growl that the
organization has never accomplished
anything. Such fault-flnding only
weakens the Association and injures
the printing business, If you have
any kick to make, make it from the
inside, not from the outside. That's
the way to bring about the result
desired by every publisher and printer
in Oregon, namely, profitable business
and more of it.

The action of the Woodmen Head
Camp convention in raising the
insurance rates of the old members to
correspond with the rates paid by new
members is "meet with equity and
good conscience," as the lawyers
would put it The mere fact that a
mistake was made and the rates
placed too low in the first place was
not a sufficient excuse for continuing
the low rates to the old members and
taxing the new members to make up
the deficiency. The old members have
been insured all these years at less
than cost, so they are really ahead of
the game, even though hereafter
called upon to pay on the same basis
as the younger members. To illustrate:
Suppose that Neighbor Smith joined
the order ten years ago, when the rate
for men of his age, 30 years, was say
45 cents for $1000. Suppose that two
years later the rate for men of 30
years was raised to 90 cents per $1000.
There would seem no good reason
whySmith should still be carried for 45
cents while Jones, who joined later, is
being charged 90 cents for the same
insurance. The injustice of this plan
was apparently recognized by the
delegates to the Head Camp when
they voted to place all members on an
equal basis. The order of Woodcraft
has made a phenomenal growth in
the last ten years, notwithstanding
this disparity in rates, for the reason
that it has insured its members at
rates far below those charged by the
old-line companies and has promptly
paid its losses. Its officers, guided by
the mistakes of other less prudently
managed orders, are placing Wood
craft on a solid and lasting founda
tion. It is only reasonable to conclude
that, as the past growth of the order
has been steady and healthy, the
Increase of membership in future will
surpass the most sanguine expecta
tions, now that all members are to
receive their insurance on a just and
equitable basis.

Electricity for Lighting
aMaeBBWBBaBBM
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your 'meals
but it would n t be economy. It is not so much what you save but
how you save that counts. '
