BIBLICAL STORY
WITH A MORAL
THE FOOLISH VIROIN GOEt TO
THK SEASHORE
Whll th Wi On Remain at
Horn and Rssps a Bounteous Hsr
VM( and 6vvS Hsr Pin Monty
tor Wadding Cowns.
No doubt many of our rattn
beard tb aiury of Ins wsl and t!:
foolish virgins, oil, tuy daughters!
Then harkeu, for tlila la a modern
tluie story which polntuth a great
moral.
Now the foolish virgin cried unlo
h t slitters early In the season, "Lo,
the aPlrlt of the love rhase la upon
tuel I mum be up and doing; for th
summer resort at th seaside auall be
jay happy hunting ground. Yea. thers
the game la easy and 1 shall take mj
pin money and buy nie a pink paraiiol
ad open-work stockings that I may
bring down my victim at sight."
And aha went her way rejoicing,
armed unto the teeth with a acore
of truuks and enough powder to sup
ply tho state national guards at th'-lr
summer encampment aud girded about
with lingerie frocka and a atlk bath
ing ault.
Hut lol when ahe arrived upon the
cone, buhold! there waa nothing in
IghL Each morning ahe wandered
the beach with one callow college
boy and each evening ahe two-stepp.
ei with a flirtatious octogenarian.
All the glrla of tho aunimer hotel
walUed In pains and pretended to
like It.
But the Wise virgin sighed, "Alus!
I cannot afford to go upon a summer
vacation trip. Nay. I must remain
In at home, for I shall bo busy." And
he was busy.
For when all the other htiHbaiid
teekerg of the town had departed
the town, being bored and having
naught else to do. flocked unto her,
front door-step and made thenmelves
comfortable upon her piazza.
Yea, In herds came they; the sim
ple youth with his mandolin, and the
wIhq youth with his Rubalyat; the
married man In his loullneNs and the
bachelor whose sweetheart was ulna
abroad. Ami ahe fed them Iced drinks
f and flattery, and they swallowed 8ll
of It gladly and were consoled.
And lo! before the summer had
waned he wore six engagement rings
for the harvest was plentiful.
Moral Verily, verily, the summer
resort Is a PlnCH where a woman
will resort to anything from a eolicy
babe unto a grandfather for amuse
ment, but a womanless town is a ripe
field. Then waste not thy best
clothes upon the desert one of bath
ing beach. Rather let thy light s'hine
before men and stay at home, for a
man within eusy range Is worth two
at long diHtance.
Nay, it Is not the woman who is
most attractive, that a man weddeth
but the one who Is nearest at hand.

ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE TAtK ON
ADVERTISING
Henry Herbert Huff, Whoss Advar
tiling Talk Copyrighted by Am
erican Prsss Asstc'stlon Give
Many 0oo4 Suggvetlona.
"Mr. Business Man, advertising
performs no miracle. To one who
us wl'neiM-d a aimplti Idea I'd by
advertising grow magically Into ky
s rapers it is no wonder that such
an Idea should be current. At Its
best the ad is no nioro than a vehicle
for conveying the plain truth 'about
goods on sale to prospective cus om
ors. Successful advertising consist
In getting th' public Interested In a
good store In leading people to the
door. It is for the merchant to com
plete the sale and Induce them to
coma again.
"No nia'ter how well planned or
effective, advertising will not take
goods from the shelves and explain
their merits: will not sell a bill of
goods to the patron tio came for a
single article; will not bring a patron
back again who got cheated the first
time; will not put a customer In a
happy mood it the clerks are sullen
and unfriendly; will not make a favot
able Impression on buyers If the stor
Is dirty and unattractive; will not
make a succesa of the store that
is overloaded with out of date goods
at high prices; will not make up for
any mistakes In buying, lnexpa-lence,
slack methods, poor location, or any
defects In the management
"The b'St that advertising can do
Is to bring new customers to the
store, but that Is the hardest part.
When the patron Is standing bviore
thS cxinter ready to any, then it is
up to the merchant to show him uie
s-oods. tell their points of merit and
do all he can to make sales. It. Is for
the dealer so to pleaso his viHiior
that bK- will become a permanent cus-
onier of the store.
"According to custom, January 1
is resolution day, but there is no
need of waiting till New Years to
make resolutions. Do so now. Mr.
Business Mnn, I want you to man.
the following good resolutions and be
gin putting them Into practice at
one.e:
"I resolve to (I) advertise liberally
In my home papers, giving careful
study to tho writing of copy and fol
lowing all the instructions you have
iHven me: (2) dispose of all left over
and unsalable . goods as quickly -as
they accumulate; (3) hold frequent
sales, openings, etc., as means of
drawing customers' to my store; (4)
turn over stock frequently so that ev
ery dollar of my capital shall be kept
moving and yielding a profit; (5) pay
cash for goods and sell for cash as
nearly as possible; (6) reach out
after trade over the surrounding
country; (1) push seasonable goods
and to keeB as complete and attract
ive a stock of new goods as I can af
ford; 8) use price cards it) my snow
windows and on counters and- to
change my window decorations fre
auentlv: (9)kekp my store as neat
and clean as possible and give my
patrons the best of service; U) ts
honest, truthful.systematlc and active
in conducting business and deal pleas
antly and fairly with those who may
come to trade."
"I wish to thank you for your kind
attention during my visits and hope
you have found them profitable.

ing. HOP GROWERS
HAVE WEALTH
It Is expected that the hop crop In
this state alone will bring a return
of over $3,500,000 this year. Oregon
will produce about 70,000 bales of
hops and hops are now sellingat 21
cents a pound. The price will go to
the 30-cent mark In a few weeks and
optimistic: growers look for an even
higher market price. '
Hops have always been a great
crop in the Willamette Valley. Salem
has long b jen considered the hop
center of the world and many a for
tune has been made in the crop in
this city. .
The hop crop of the world Is uni
formly small this year but the Ore
aix crop leads In comparison with
others and consequently Oregon grow
ers will receive ttfe greatest percent
age of the benefHs derived.
Because cf the poor world crop th;
market has been shooting skyward,
ahd prices advanced five cents In a
slngla wefk.
It has not been necessary to make
any attempt to bull the market this
year as the growers and brewers are
both so well Informed as to the gen
eral situation that the prices have
gone up regardless of any desire on
t'he part of purchasers to the contrary
Hops have always proven to.be a
good thing around Salem and proves
very attractive to the prospective in
vestors. Statesman.
