HALL NOT TO RUN .Charles Hall of Marshfield has decided that he will not make a run for the gubernatorial job, as was expected. In a statement to the press last Thursday Mr. Hall made the following state ment: ' "Oregon is on the eve of in fact is enjoying a great de velopment, and Coos county and the southwestern part of the state is participating liberally in that growth and prosperity. "Iam the directing head of several institutions in which the savings of numerous men and Vomen mostly of southwestern Oregon are invested. My first duty is to these investors. "I have made strenuous efforts to arrange my affairs so that I could be free to serve the state of Oregon for four years, if that honor were won, but my business interests will not permit. My first duty is plain, and the in crease and growth on Coos Bay makes this duty paramount now. "My public life will continue as a state senator, and my obli gations to my community, my business associates and my state will determine whether I will as pire to greater honors in the fu ture." While The Times respects Mr. Hall's attitude, it can not help but regret his decision. The Times man knows Charley Hall, knows his business ability; his clean personality, and knowledge of Oregon and its needs. That he could have been nominated and elected there is but little doubt As govenor Mr- Hall would have no axe to grind; he would be govenor in reality. Petty politics would have no parking place under his regime and the state would have attained a high er plane in the matter cf law en forcement than it has enjoyed in many years past. The last paragraph of his statement shows exactly the high standard which Mr. Hall maintains: "My obligation to my community, my business asso ciates and my state will deter mine whether I will aspire to greater honors in the future." DON'T OVERLOOK THEM Young Senator Lafollette is after the scalp of the Ward Food Products corporation, and is asking a congressional investiga tion of its workings. We won der whether he would foster an investigation of several Milwau kee wards which voted for him. Another suggestion and this made applicable to small Maupin boys: John D. Rockefeller did no't get all his filling stations by lying in bed until 9:00 o'clock in the morning. We suggest that the Maupin young man who cannot afford to give his best girla diamond take a chance and send her a few bushel of potatoes. Improvements Completed and Willis Brittain of Tygh Val ley and .Ivan Olson of Shaniko each entered a plea of guilty to the crime of contributing to the delinquency of a minor girl when indictments were returned by the grand jury yesterday and today were sentenced by Circuit Judge Fred W. Wilson. Judge Wilson, upon written recom mendation of the grand jury, fined each of the trio $100 and ordered each to contribute $150 to the support of the girl at one of the Portland detention homes. Because the grand jury fiad carefully considered the testi mony of the case, its recom mendation was followed in the sentence, it was declared. Called On Mother jno matter what newspaper you pick up read the adds, They are among the most interest ing features in any paper and the judicious buyer will find that they point the way to real econo my. Men of wisdom no longer argue that advertising doesn' pay. They realize that if it didn' pay Henry Ford would not be expending $6,000,000 a year to advertise flivvers; Wrigley would not be paying out 13,500,000 every year to advertise chewing gum; Campbell would not be spending $1,500,000 yearly to sell soup, and so on down the line, with at least fifty or a hun dred other concerns spending a3 much a3 a million dollars each for advertising every year. You bet advertising pays, or there wouldn't be so much of it done, And the bejpt part of it is that it pays those who buy the same as it pays those who sell.
