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,

channels and with the guarantee
of a dealer you know. 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

Anti-Saloon League should look
into that.

'average size of an American

' One way a woman can keep !

We happened to remark the

finished it by saying, "Yes, and

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."

In 1923 Oregon and Washington brought
in from the oast of the Hocky Mountains,
live hogs ami pork products to the value
of $0,000,000.00
It is estimated that caclt year, Califor
nia consumed pork products to the value of
$j0,000,000.0) of which 00 is brought in
from outside that utate.
This money Is being aent away from the
Pacific Uoast territory because our farms
are not producing sullicicnt hogs to mipply
the Pacific Coast market.
Here is a home market for a home pro
duct that is being overlooked. A few more
hogs on each farm will keep a lot of this
money in the west. Think it over.
