Thursday. 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.
