Advertising made known on application. THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1909 the next four years. It is up to Eugene to make sure that thi. city is made a centre from which such lines radiate in all direi • tions. It is a good field tor inv stmeut on the part of our local capitalists, who can gather in he dividends instead of having them sent to Eastern investors, u they get busy now. The Guard receives many letters of inquiry and requests for sample copies from all over the country. The following is a sample of these, and was written by a business man at Coeur d Alene, Idaho: “Will you kindly send me a copy of your even ing daily as I want to see what your merchants have to say in I your papers; it gives a stranger some idea of the city. I am looking for a location for a home, where the climate is more de sirable, and what is better still, a "dry" town. No city can have a oetter advertisement than that.” PREMIUM PAPERS We are again offering either the Oregon Agriculturist or American Farmer tree to every subscriber who pays his subscription to the Weekly Guard one year In advance.

It would be difficult to picture a greater state of chaos than would ensue. One's imagination could reasona bly run riot in contemplation of such a calamity. "On the other hand, how about those mediums of general circulation, which some would regard as the only logical outlet for the distribution of such news as might be classified as ad vertising? “Imagine, if you can, their suspending publication for one issue. The only possible effect I can see it would have, so far as the public is concerned, would be that the public would miss a lot of interesting and instructive reading, and many advertis ers would be deprived of a valuable adjunct to their general ad vertising plan. In other words, the one thing which the public cannot get along without, and which is as necessary as the air we breathe, is the daily paper. “To my mind, the present offers one of the greatest oppor tunities we have ever had for emphasizing the value of the daily paper as a molder of public opinion. “It makes no difference whether it is an article of merchan dise that you would sell, a service you would render the public, or an explanation of the conditions surrounding your interests, which you feel have suffered owing to ignorance on the part of the public, the open door to intelligent consideration of any proposition is the daily paper, and so long as we keep intact this one source from which we derive all knowledge of current events there is no necessity for any interest in this country suffering from lack of patronage, undue criticism, or unjust laws, on ac count of public criticism. “There are many interests in this country, either corpora tions or individuals, whose material advancement has been seri ously hampered through ignorance on the part of the masses.” Ih this era of political grafting and official corruption it is quite refreshing to read of some town where such official crook edness is at low tide. Judging from a story that made its way into the papers the other day, Stamford, Conn., must be such a model town. A member cf the common council, who had been elected on the reform ticket, was arrested for stealing milk left in front of stores. How refreshing that sounds. Official graft ing must indeed be an unknown offense in that fortunate town, if members of the common council have to resort to stealing bot tles of milk. Just imagine a San Francisco supervisor doing such a thing. Two interesting celebrations were held in New York city the other day, according to the newspapers there. One wa3 a cham pagne dinner in honor of a woman who had been a servant in the same family for fifty years, without ever asking for an in crease in pay or a day off, and the other was a banquet, with liquid refreshments and speeches, in honor of the 213th birthday of “Lady Jennie,” who is said to be the oldest elephant in cap tivity in this country. The authenticity of the fifty years’ devo tion of the loyal servant is beyond dispute, but there is some sus picion as to the exactness of the date of “Lady Jennie s” birth. The Professional Chaffeurs Club of America, which has its headquarters in New York City, has gone on record as favoring any movement that will put chaffeurs, arrested for violating the speed ordinances, permanently out of business. They hold that men who allow themselves to be caught while speeding their automobiles are incompetent and there seems good judgment in that opinion. Good chaffeurs would not allow themselves to be caught. They would rather run over a dozen persons than give the bicycle policemen a chance to arrest them. More electric lines is what the Willamette valley needs and tkey are sure to cut up the country like a checkerboard within Ffledicme GRANITE POSTS Spsing and lively, it tones the stomach to bet- ter digestion, creates an appetite, stimu lates the kidneys and liver, gives new brain, nerve and digestive strength.
