Most readers of newspapers and many publishers are not familiar with the laws govern ing subscriptions. Here are the decisions of the United States court on the subject. They will be interesting to publishers and many will un doubtedly be glad of the op portunity to print them for the benefit of delinquent sub scribers : "Subscribers who do not give express notice to the con trary are considered as wish ing to renew their subscrip tions. "If the subscribers order a discontinuance of their publi cation the publisher may con tinue to send them until all dues are paid. "If the subscriber refuses to take periodicals from the post ollice to which they are directed he is responsible un til he has settled his bill and ordered the paier discontinu ed. "If subscribers move to other places without inform ing the publisher and the pa pers are sent to the former ad dress, the subscriber is held responsible. "The courts have held that refusinir to take periodicals from the postollice or remov ing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intention to defraud. "If subscribers pay in ad vance, they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the sub scriber is responsible until ex press notice with payment of all arrearage is sent to the publisher."

With a large attendance of repre sentative businem men of the city, the Dallas Retail Merchants' associa tion was permanently organised last night by the elertion of Hugh Bla-k president, Harry Viers viee-presiilent, and a board of five directors, as fol lows: Messrs.

The association will meet again next Monday evening, when some important business will be transacted, and when other mer chants of the city are invited to pre sent themselves for membership. DALLAS GETS VICTORY rOOTBALL CONTEST BRINGS CREDIT TO SCHOOL TEAM. New Players Shine in Dallas Lineup. Victory is Second This Year Against the Silverton Team. Although they should have scored many more points in the return game against the Silverton high school team on the local field Saturday af ternoon the Dallas high school team is well satisfied with the victory it attached to its creditable list. The score was ZB-u witn tne local Doys on the long end. and the victory was well-earned in a clean and hard-fought contest. The Dallas team was not in the pink of condition with several plavers nursine injuries and the lack of practice being evident through fre quent tumbling. xne ouisianuing, spectacular feature of the game was the 50-vard run that Martin pmiea off in the third quarter when he in tercepted Silverton's forward pass. Unfortunately, perhaps, for the final score, Martin was thrown before he could gain the goal. The back field, including JttcCann and Berg in tne half-back positions and Balderee at full, played especially good football. Scott piloted the team at quarter back for the first time and was more than successful at that task, bcott called for few passes and his plays were, for the most part, straight foot ball. JSeison and Wilson, on me line, .were credited with a good share of the victory for their very effective work in breaking up the plays at tempted by the opponents. Few of Silverton's offerings got past these two plavers. and that they made their aggressive movements carefully and effectively is borne out by the fact that only one penalty was chalked down against the team, and that for offside play. Silverton suffered a sim ilar penalty, making only one lor each team in the entire game. Sever al of the new recruits on the Dallas team showed up well in the contest Saturday and it is the opinion oi many of the spectators at the game that the team will score victory against Lebanon next Saturday if the team can reproduce the brand ot play that won for it against ailverton. Silverton's many attempts at punt ine were useless as the ball almost invariably went out of bounds, mak- ine it impossible for either team to gain from the pedal ability of the op posing punters, the visiting aggre gation was somewhat lighter than the local team and was able to make yard- ace but three times in the game. Sil verton came within shooting distance of the Dallas goal once in the third quarter when the visiting quarter back, a 101 pound midget, received the kickoff and reeled off 50 yards before he was tackled. Silverton tumbled the ball when Dallas recovered it was carried out of danger for the last time. The same next Saturday is against Lebanon. 8ealskln three-quarters length makes this wrap so suitable for afternoon and evening wear.

" A A REGAL COAT. i CUPPER PRESENTS PLAN RURAL CREDIT SYSTEM URGED BY STATE OFFICIAL. Oregon's Credit Pledged to Secure Money at Four Per Cent, Which Would Loan at Six. The establishment of a rural credits system by pledging the state's credit is advocated in a statement issued by Assistant State Engineer Percy Cup per. Under such a plan money could be loaned to farmers at 6 per cent, and after the deduction of the admin istrative expenses there would still be left a profit which could be put into the school fund, he says. "The state has a credit worth mil lions of dollars upon which money can be secured at 3 or 4 per cent, says Mr. Cupper. "Why not use this credit along well-tried lines tor the furtherance of our agricultural devel opment? Lending the state's credit or the issuance of the state 's bonds is more or less popular at the present time and is apt to be overlooked, yet if the money secured from the sale of 3 or 4 per cent state bonds is invested in first mortgages drawing 6 per cent there would appear to be little or no Visk, and in fact the past experience m handling the school tund has dem onstrated the safety of the plan. "Under present conditions the farmer can afford to pay 6 per cent for money and while it is probably not advisable to reduce this interest rate at the present time it can doubt less later be reduced to 5 per cent. Assuming that the bonds would be sold for 4 per cent and money loaned St 6 per cent this would give the state 2 per cent to insure it against loss and to cover administrative expenses and return a revenue to the Bchool fund. A rural credit system for the state which merely extends a success ful operating plan is preferable to an entirelv new and untried plan School funds are now loaned for one year with the understanding that if interest is promptly paid, tne pnnci Dal mav run ten years. Doubtless other terms could be arranged to ad vantage; for instance, the principal could be made payable in three in stallments, one in five years, one in ten years and one in 15 years. The annual payment of the 2 per cent of the principal compounded annually would take cave of the principal in no years. . "In order to raise the required funds a constitutional amendment will be necessary to provide for the issu ance and sale of bonds, as well as a statutory enactment which should be in such form as to render it possible to sell bonds as money was required to make loans on farm lands. Such a constitutional amendment passed at the next election would do much to facilitate the development of our ag ricultural resources." 4. OTHERS' OPINIONS Dallas,, Oregon, November 8, 1915. Editor Observer:. Replying to an alrticle by Mr. Partridge, manager Dallas Brick and Tile company, in a recent issue of The Observer, I wish to say that this article makes state ments which are not substantiated by the facts in the case. This matter was put up to me as president of the Dallas Commercial club, that the Dallas Brick and Tile company was in financial ditnculties and that unless something was done the plant would be foreclosed upon and moved away from Dallas. I referred the matter to a commit tee of which Mr. Soehren is chair man, for investigation, requesting them, if they thought best, to bring the matter before the club at the next meeting. It was in compliance with this re quest that Mr. Soehren brought the matter up at the club meeting and I wish to state positively that Mr.l To Portray: The Grace and the winsomeness of Childhood, The beauty of Womanhood; The strength and dignity of Manhood, And to trace as with a pencil the ten derly pathetic beauty of Old Age. This is my mission, I consider it not an unworthy one. PHOTOGRAPHS WILL SOLVE YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT PROBLEMS In an economical way Order early for best results C. B. STONE The Photographer in roar town Soehren was not actuated by any sel fish or ulterior motives whatsoever. W. V. FULLER, President Dallas Commercial Club. In a report of a speech delivered by Uncle Joe Cannon recently the St. Louis Globe-Democrat makes the ex-speaker tell a story that will ap peal, to those who have wrestled with the intricacies of legal language in an effort to learn just what some partic ular law meant. "At a constitution al convention in Indiana in 18-51," said Mr. Cannon, "a proposition was submitted that if passed the gover nor would have permission to appoint a commission of three men to recom mend laws. Governor Wright appoint ed two good lawyers and one man who had no more conception of what was good for the people than I havo the duties or an archangel, someone ask ed the governor why he appointed this man. The governor said:, 'Weh J have two good lawyers on the com mission. 11 they can make this ttura man understand what they want, the people won t have any trouble. Hillsboro Independent. A policy of encouragement, both state and national, toward our indus tries, railroads, public utility, etc., whether coming from a democratic or republican administration would bring good times at once. Why should the continuous agitation be kept upf We all have to make a living and it is hard to do when the wheels of indus try are clogged and stopped with un necessary legislation, regulation and high taxes. Punish the offenders wheth er in "big" or "little" business, out leave the field open so that those who are honest can prosper whether they represent an investment of $100 or $100,000,000. This would settle the unemployment question at once and the labor of our workmen would no longer go begging. Willamina Times The Turks are. engaged in the big war, but they don't consider the slaughter of Armenians any part of it. That is merely a favorite national pastime.
