After the opening scene is completed, the remainder illust rate the dreams of Peach Blos som, a beautiful little Chinese girl who is separated from her white lover by her supposed father, Sing Song. Peach Blossom is first taken "No amount of discussion'can obscure the fact that the spot price of rubber was $109 per pound and three months for ward was $1.05 on December 10th when I asked for the co operation of the manufacturers and consumers in a drive against the exorbitant price of rubber by conservation and provision of independent American supplies. "We have had that coopera tion. The spot price has dropped 41 cents per pound down to (J8 cents yesterday, (January 25) and three months forward rubber was about 64 cents, "Our imports of rubber for 1925 were 800,000,000 pounds, If we import the same amount for 1926 and had continued to pay the price demanded last December for rubber, our rubber bill for 1926 would have been three hundred and fifty million dollars more than it will be at the present level of prices. "We undertook this action ADVERTISING From, Editorial in Th$ Dalle$ Chronicle The ' following editorial ap peared in a late issue of The Dalles Chronicle. It is a concise statement of the relation of the advertisers and the newspapers and is worthy the perusal of all who are in business as well thoso who are in the market for goods listed in the papers by dealers. We republish it as being one of the best stories relating to ad vertising to come to our notice: by her dreams into the land of story books, where she becomes because the monopoly had put Cinderlla, and is taken away by 'the price to 600 per cent of the her Prince Charming.

The different ffowers are impersonated by members of the company dressed in brilliant costumes to indicate what bloom 'they represent. Suddenly Beach Blossom is awakened from her dream by her father, who, in a fit of madness, informs her that she is a white girl and daughter of a prominent New York family. Barbara Bronell is the .fea tured star as Peach Blossom, and in supported by Ames Har per as leading man. Bossie Delmore in the ftnale comedy roles is amusing, . and her witticisms will be greatly appreciated. William P.

A Quick Change Artist A ludicrous incident trans pired at the close of the basket ball game at Legion hall Wednes day night. One of the players hurried to the dressing room to change his clothes. Grabbing a union suit he hurriedly began and attractively arranged ad vertisements get plenty of atten tionmore than that, in reput able publications the advertise ments are taken at face value, and become a paying investment for the advertiser. When an advertisement is found in a reputable newspaper, the reader has a right to assume that it is an honest 'ad vertisement. There was atimo when dishonest advertising was used -just so the There was probably a time in advertiser paid the bill, the news- the history of newspapers when advertising was little considered and even a period when the buy ing or space in a newspaper meant that the purchaser Could say practically anything he cared to, regardless of facts, as long as no libel suit was involved. Things have very much changed since the period inferred to. Ad-! vertWng is a distinct and very! important feature of practically. all publications. Newspapers now establish a standard of ad vertising and strictly adhering to the principals set forth, gain friends and importance through there advertising columns as well as in other departments. Advertisiig having become a legitimate end well thought-of feature of the newspaper it has also become understood by the public and intelligent reading of the advertising pages is a part of the duty of housekeeper and business man. Admitting that the news, sports, society and edi torial pages are given first-at-tention, it is acknowledged with out reserve that the well placed paper accepted it. That day, however, has fortunately passed, and now no good newspaper will print dishonest advertising if by diligent and reasonable methods it can ascertain that there is doubt as to any statement made. While lessons have been learned by the newspapers, the advers ers themselves have realized that exaggerated claims and untrue statements have proved hurtful I Educational Exposition j O. A.

"Therefore, will you not paint on the roof of your garage or place of business the name of the city or town in which you- are located?
