SATURDAY,
Our Patrons and This Edition.
WHAT The Ouard believes to b the largest single
newspaper advertisement ever published in Oregon
iii .us in its edition of today. Mr. George 0. Stanley
i.-s the advertiser. His announcement occupies all of a
lo-page section. ' It amounts to 128 full columns. Its
uggrcgato in column inches is 2816. - -
Air, Stanley is a keen, successful business man who
believes in the power and value of newspaper adver
tising, because he has demonstrated themin his own
experience, liis present, advertisement neraias nis re
1 entry into the business life of Eugene: He was formerly
in the grocery business here and in recent years has been
engaged in a similar line in Southern California, His
operations have prospered, and the basis of that pros
perity, aside from the intrinsic merit of his business
methods, always has been newspaper advertising. The
opinion of such a man is the strongest kind of a testi
monial to tha very essential value and relation of ad
vertising to business. The successful business man of
today is tho man who advertises his bnsines regularly
in his home newspapers. There is no other medium
whoBe 'tips does or oan begin to approach the valuo
that home-newspaper advertising carries. Persistent,
regular advertising ia the kind that gives the maximum
of reaulta. William Wrigley, Jr, made himself a multi
millionaire through his early recognition of this fact and
by his constant conduct in accordance therewith. Asked
by a fellow passenger on a railroad train recently why,
having established the demand for his products, he did
not now relax hia advertising activity, he answered :
"We are now traveling on this train at 40 miles an
hour. "What would happen if they took away the
engine t" The answer was a complete one.
Of this edition o The Guard there have been printed
and there are being distributed 13,700 copies. These in
clude the regular paid daily circulation of slightly above
6200 copies, 100 copies which are printed daily for
checking purposes and free distribution to employes,
6700 additional copies ordered by Mr. Stanley, eaoh
and every one of which is being mailed by The Guard
' to a home within the Eugene trading radius, 500 copies
to be distributed from the Stanley store and 200 copies
for estimated street sales. It was in forecast of this
very large circulation, as well as because of the Stanley
advertisement of 16 pages and the large amount' of
extra advertising from other equally enterprising Eu
gene firms, great and small, that The Guard announced
n few days ago and again yesterday that today's edition
would mark a newspaper epoch in Eugene. We leave
it to our advertising patrons and our subscribers' to
sny whothcr or not the forecast has been justified. .
Tlio Guard is not only a little, but very greatly,
proud of the achievement represented by the production
of this edition and its successful distribution. This
prido is not so much in the direction of the effort as in
tho splendid co-operation it has received from the work
ers in its own establishment. Every man and woman
in its every department has given to the' enterprise
extra initiative, extra effort and extra hours of work,
without which the result would have been impossible
In an office of The Guard's limited equipment and staff
and within the time' limit of a few days made necessary
by the requirement of timeliness and spontaneity in the
advertising copy from all sources. ' -
In thanking all its patrons, as well as its own people,
for the co-operation which has made- this edition pos
sible, The Guard will say also that it hopes to continue
to" be a builder in and of this community.
Clarence Thompson, state treasury embezzler, seems
to have "a way with him.' Not only did a friendly court
parole him from the benoh following his first oonfession
and plea of guilty, but when further alleged shortages
against him wore discovered, state officials refused to
prosecute anew. "Stick to a man as long as he is right
and part with him when he goes wrong" is a quotation
that quite apparently does not appeal to Mr. Thompson's
friends in Salem officialdom. j
Aamva we are to have summer eoncerts by the fine
Odd follows band. Last year's brief series of concerts
proved immensely popular. This season it is hoped t
lengthen the periods during which concerts will be riven
at regular Intervals. Already there are contributions to!
the fund for' expenses of the enterprise. There should
be more of them, and soon. Send your contribution to
The Gnard. It will be acknowledged through The Guard's
own columns and then turned over to the bond committee.
IVonglos Fairbanks' birthday gift to his wife, Mary
Fickford, was a lot of stuff for the gymnasium. Makes
us think of the lady who, bnck in the days when there
wero horses, liked to- ride and who gave her husband
a sido-siulille for a Olrnstnias present.
Dorothy Kllingson, who slew her mother, has been
sent to nn insane asylum. If they would keep her there
that punishment would bo adequate. The trouble is she
will be out in a year or two, it events run true to their
usual form in such cases.

THE QUARREL IN THE SHIP
PING BOARD
(New York World)
The disagreement in the shipping
board which baa brought on an open
quarrel between a majority of four
members and a minority of three is
not a disagreement aa to the merits
of two competing bids but a disagree
ment as to whether either of those
bids should hare been accepted.
A majority consisting of Chairman
O'Connor and Commisslonera Lissner,
Hill and Haney argues that it was a
wise move to sell to the Dollar Steam
ship Line for $5,625,000 tire great
passenger and cargo ships costing the
American public more than $30,000,
000. The majority things that it ia
a good thing "to get the government
oat of the shipping business" and be
lieves that It baa made a contract on
"a guaranteed-aerrice plan."
The minority of the commission,
consisting of Commissioners Plum
'mer, Thompson and Admiral Benson,
arguea against thla action on the
ground: (1) that the "guaranteed
Berries plan" la a guaranteed-serrlce
plan for tire years only (2) that all
of the ships aold ara at this moment
operating under a managing operat
or's agreement which brings in a
profit to the government, and (3)
that despite thla profit the shipa have
been aold for less than 10 cents on
tha dollar aa compared with what
they cost the government.
There la not the alightest disagree
ment over facts in these two state
menta of opposing rlewa. The ma
jority admita everything the minor
ity aays, but thlnka it has dona the
country a good turn.
80 it insists. But to Tba World
the objections ralaed by the minor
ity ere convincing enough to require
further examination of the bargain.
Grant that it ia now the settled policy
of the government to abandon public
ly owned and managed shipping and
to retire from this experiment in
business: even so, what possible jus
tification ia there for beginning that
retirement by choosing ahlps which
ara now actually operating at a profit
to the government and selling those
ships at any such figure aa 20 cents
on tha dollar?
The majority fnctlon of the ship
ping board will hare a good deal of
explaining to do before it convinces
tha public that it acted wisely and be
fore it aeea thla matter ended.

NATIONAL SHRINE IS ASSURED
National Cathedral of 8t. Peter and St. Paul to Rival Arlington
National Cemetery
By HARRY B. HUNT
(NEA Service Writer)
yAaSIUNGTOX, April 11. Burial
in Arlington National Cemetery
baa, for a generation, been regarded
aa the crowning honor to a military
life. There, nnder the gnnn of Ft.
Slyer, overlooking the beautiful capi
tal city just across the placid Poto
mac, sleep the heroes, sung and un
sung, of America's battles on land
and sea.
"The Sarins of America," Arling
ton has been called. Great and
humble alike, those who hare fought
with gun and sword for American'
ideals there share equally the enre
and reverence of the government thfy
served. General, admiral, private
and Unknown Soldier rest side by side
in those green-clad hills.
But a rival to Arlington as an his
toric resting place, where the future
will look for the great of America,
may have appeared In the National
Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul.
Only a small portion of this im
mense edifice has as yet been com
pleted. It stands on Mt. St. Albans,
the highest spot In the District of
Columbia. There, in a crypt under
Bethlehem chapel, the body of Wood
row Wilson was placed following his
death oue year ago. -
After the Wilson burial in the Na
tional Cathedral, the suggestion was
made that here, in this edifice, might
be developed the "Westminster Ab
bey' of America.
Now the borly of Admiral George
Dewey, hero of Manila Pay, has been
transferred from Arlington to a crypt
provided by his widow under the floor
of the cathedral.
Thus begins the development of
a new "National Shrine that seems
certain, as the years pass, to lure
tho feet of an increasing number of
patriotic pilgrims visiting in Wash
ington. No decision has been made as to

Congress abolished Washington's
bathing beach, but gave the capital
a first-class fishing pond in its place.
For several years a bathing beach,
for white bathers, had been main
tained on the tidal basin, in Potomac
park. Then the colored citizens of
tho city demanded a beach where they,
too, might disport themselves on hot
summer days.
A beach across the basin was sug
gested nnd approved and work had
actually started when loud protests
arose. All sorts of reasons were giv
en as to why the new beach should
not be permitted and social and civic
pressure was brought to bear on the
powers that be. . x
As an easy way out, congress, in-'
stead of approving the new beach,
abolished the old. And now the basin
is to be stocked with big mouth bass,

Tax Caretaker of
Lane Voices View
EUGENE, Ore., April 11. (To
the Editor.) As Caretaker of Lane
County's tax fields I am pleased to
report the annual crop aa being some
what above normal. the country at
large representing a rate increase
over the previous year of about 17
per cent while the Eugene lone
which may be regarded the garden
spot of the county for tax culture,
shows a gain of J2.3 per cent over
the rate of Inst year and a lot of
fertilizer is now being broadcasted
by generous and interested parties
preparatory for the annual bond plas
ter festival to be held on April 15th,
all of which promises stimulation for
renewed vigor and encouragement for
a bumper crop next year. It 1b ru
mored, however, that members of the
fertilizing club are somewhat appre
hensive and alarmed over the large
number of "Anti-confUcatlon Bugs"
prevelcnt in the barren stubble field
after the abundant tax harvest just
garnered and 1 would venture the
xuggeation that if bond plaster is to
bo again applied this season it should
be spread very thinly to avoid its
becoming a hot bed for the germina
tion of tha desperate "Turn Worm,"
a creature that ia reputed to have
played havoc in fields of oppression
in ancient days.
The propitious and extensive plans
for an unusually heavy application of
bond plaster in the Eugene section
that waa Inaugurated last year were
somewhat blighted on account ot a
"Campbell" getting into the field and
trampling things up a bit. However,
foinparing the total rule in Eugene
this year with that of twelve years
ago we find an increase of 05.0 per
cunt which Is encouraging to those
who msy feel that our tax rate is
inadequate. t
l'ossibly tax growing conditions
might be materially augmented by
our .Caretaker giving ear to the pub
lished worth and sales of properties
of our optimistic citiiens, but be
hesitates leat the enrichment might
be over done, for some rude conser
vatives s re already pointing to a sec
tion in the western part of the coun
ty where, it must be admitted, the
crop became so rank that it "lodged"
and there has not been a harvest for
several years.
Whatever may be the finaTs at Ea
gene'a Annual Bond fc'ete next Wed
nesday in the contest between the two
factions known es the "Kky-Limits"
snd the "Ease-Cpi,'' here is hoping
on the part of your humble- aervsnt
that in the event of the former being
victorious they will not continue the
farcical display of chivalry by at
tempting to pin the badge of honor
on the county assesior when bia ex
cellency, the tax gatherer, issues the
inevitable call for shekels with which
to pay the fiddler.
Respectfully submitted,
Bea F. Keeney.
