August 5. 1920 The difference between the aesthetic and utilitarian pointsof view, was aptly shown last Fri day evening by the speaker at the Community picnic supper in a story of two men looking at a bouquet of fringed gentians, one saw in them “ a thingof beauty/' the other only abominable weeds. The Democratic presidential nominee has a d o p t e d as his campaign slogan, “ Peace Pro gress and Prosperity.” That is a good one if he can put it across, without any recoil. As slogans are popular, we suggest, if no one else has, that in view of recent occurrences in California, the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce use “ No Quakes in Ours.“ The paramount issue with both the ohl political parties, is to down the other. 12 W ords H id e H arding Slogan Senator Hardingsat down with three men on his front porch in quiet Mount Vernon street re cently. and at the end of a two hour discussion had given his indorsement to a nationwide ad vertising campaign which in the next few days will bring him conspicuously before the Ameri can people in every city, hamlet and rural district. The elaborateness a n d com pleteness of the project may be judged by the men who sat with the Senator and told him what they proposed to do. They are William Wrigley, dr., called “ the gum king;“ A. D. Lasker, head of the lord ».V: Thomas Advertis ing Agency, and Scott Bone, publicity director of the Repul - bean National Committee. Twelve words have Iteen chosen as the campaign slogan. What the words art* is still a mystery, guarded wi t h the greatest of cart*. Not more than a half a dozen men know those words to night. In another few clays the projectors of the campaign de clare they will be known wher ever men talk politics. The country will have to guess for a few days what the twelvo words are. The first feature of the advertising propaganda will he a billboard campaign. It is the most extensive undertaking of its kind ever projected, its promoters say. Billboards from the Atlantic to the Pacific will be displaying the iwelve words and Senator Harding’s picture as soon • as the army of printers and hill- posters can get up the advertis ing. Then will follow other fea tures of the big campaign. —New York Sun. T h e C ountry N ew sp a p er In commenting on the attack of a metropolitan daily which attempted to belittle the political influence of the country weekly and daily over the land, Harry Hammond, editor of the Byron, California, Times, one of the liveliest amd most progressive papers in the country, says; “ Whfie t h e country paper is small, it is doing just as much, in its way for the progress and development of the section it serves a s a n y of the larger papers, and in some cases a great deal more, because, as a rule, the bigger the paper the more its opinions are dominated from the counting room, something never thought o f by t h e country weekly, which boosts its locality all the time without thought of receiving pay for such service. “The people of a country com munity swear BY and not AT their local paper. It carries far • greater weight, politically and otherwise, with them than does the paper of metropolitan preten tions. The country weekly is closer to the hearts of its readers than is the case with the larger j newspapers. ” T h ey R id e in Fords N ow Swat the Profiter In former years the gypsies rode around in picturesque cara van wagons, with a string of horses following them. But a change has taken place, for the up-to-date gypsy now has his automobile. L a s t Thursday a band of gypsies passed through town, in two Fords, the first one being loaded to the gunwale with children, who were bright little fellows but dingy in appearance, and evidently had not used Pears or any other kind of soap that day or for several days. The females of the party were gaud ily dressed and wore necklaces apparently made from gold coins. They called at the different stores and offices offering to tell your “ good luck” for a consideration. All brands White Laundry Soaps for 6c Fancy Head Rice, per lb. 15c Macaroni, per lb.
