THE PEDDLER AGAIN Maupin is one of the best towns in this state, and one of the best smaller towns in the United States. Her merchants are ag gressive, honorable men whose promises can be accepted at par. Their stocks of merchandise are well assorted and ample to meet the requirements of the town and surrounding community. We venture the assertion that practically every article needed in the home or on the farm can be found right here in our home stores and bought as low as it is priced elsewhere. Our merchants are without exception always ready with their time and money to do any thing that will make this a bet ter commurr'ty in which to live and raise a family. AH of which brings us to this point: The country is how flooded with ped dlers, selling everything from patent collar buttons and new " f angted " sleeve " supporters T to kitchen ranges and traction en gines. Some of it is standard merchandise -most of it i3 not. But whether it is or not, the fact remains that the most expensive merchandise in the long run is that sold from door to door; that the cheapest and most satisfac tory is that you get thru regular, Mi lsicaie AND BlILC Thurs., Featuring Mrs. Fowles, Noted Vocalist and Reader Instrumental and Vocal Selections This entertainment is given under the auspices of the U.

The auto- i mobile has brought several things that are not for the best interest of our smaller towns, regardless of the blessings that have come with it. One of the things it has brought that isn't going to be of any benefit to. us is the "auto hobo." And another is the house-to-hcuse peddler. When a Maupin woman starts on a trip she can have a good time worrying over how terrible it would have been if she had forgotten to bring along some thing that she hadn't forgot. It is estimated it costs $6801 to rear a girl until she i3 18 and $6761 to bring up a boy. The difference represents about four trips to the hair-dresser. . A Washington newspaper has discovered that Speaker Long worth wear3 a nightcap. The Anti-Saloon League should look into that. j A government report says the 'average size of an American I family is 4.9. . Every Maupin j father knows who that nine 1 tenths is. ( m. After a Maupin man has done ; a.whole lot of it he doesn't care j whether you call it "perspira tion or just plain sweat. Business may be getting back to normal but the cotton stock ing factories will never be work ing over-time any more. - - .

At lunch time on the day when she had her final examination In arithmetic he asked her what mark the got To which she mournfully replied: The biggest nought I ever saw." July 8 ings ' One way a woman can keep ! from worrying about petting fat," says Bob Wilson, "is to have a half-dozen children to worry over." We happened to remark the other d?v that any fool can drive fast, nowadays, and Bill Staats finished it by saying, "Yes, and and any fool does." ... it.. 4 Jt I jtitcn nv, mat, ucviaics verue riaiuei, iw la oaici iu have a woman on the back seat driving than one in the front seat hugging the driver." Carl Dahl, in speaking of the sheep business, says the success of that calling depends upon ratio and proportion a heavy ratio of woolies and a corre sponding proportion of wool. "From the number of people going to the north pole," is the way Konrad Hauser puts it, "it looks like a hot-dog stand up there would be a paying propo sition," "When a person deliberately sets out to poison his neighbor's dog," comments Jack Staats, "it shows the poisoner has less common sense then the poison ed." Maybe our radio gets on some one's nerves and to render it noiseless for the time being that person deliberately cut the ground wire. . Bates Shaltuck says "things are about even in this country. What a man saves on federal taxes he has to pay out in in creased local taxes." Jim Woodcock says that "if they didn't have company once in a while some couples never would say anything nice to each other." - Scientists say. that of all noises a baby's cry has the gaetesat carrying power. And Dad is usually the carrier. 1 Eleven Years Ago I From The Times July 9, '15 I Maupin baseball team played three games at Shaniko on the Fourth, winning all of them.
