ADVERTISING MAKES FOR
LOWER PRICES.
Among tho many forces tending to
ralso tho cost of 'living, It Is en
couraging to find ono other whoso
tendency Is In tho opposlto direction.
Advertising is tho friend of the
consumer. It tends to lowor prices.
It docs this In two ways. By lending
to larger volume of sales, It makes
posslblo the economics of largo scnlo
production, resulting in a lower cost
of production per unit.
Tho second way is by reducing the
coats of distribution. A largo cle
ment In the total cost of most prod
ucts is tho cost of getting them from
tho factory out Into tho hands of
tho final consumer.
Just what Items tho costs of dis
tribution includo dopends upon tho
method of distribution; but, In gen
eral, most products pnss through the
hands of tho jobber nnd then through
tho retuller to tho consumer. This
path from tho manufacturer to the
consumer might bo called tho chan
nel of distribution.
Tho effect of advertising is to les
sen tho reslstanco to tho flow of the
product through this channel. That
Is, tho advertising enables both the
Jobber nnd tho retailer to sell the
goods mora easily and quickly nnd
in larger quantities, nnd to turn their
stocks oftener resulting In lower
costs of selling.
This ull works to tho best Interests
of tho consumer' a lower retail
price.
Tho organization of tho various
farming communities Into n part of
tho Deschutes County Farm bureau
Is going forward rapidly. Lower
Brldgo is already organized nnd other
communities aro scheduled for or
ganization meetings this week. The

COUNCILMAN LEARNS
OF BROTHER'S DEATH
SOMEWHAT SARCASTIC.
Commenting on a recent report in
Tho Bulletin of criticism voiced at
the latest Commercial club meeting
In respect to Representative Bur
dick's failure to obtain larger recog
nition of Central Oregon In the
state's highway program, "the Red
mond Spokesman says:
"It our friends at Bend will con
sider for a moment, they will find an
excuse for this apparent oversight,
and to -which tho Spokesman takes
pleasure in calling their attention.
"Mr. Burdlck has been so busily
engaged in philanthropic work that
he has probably lost sight of roads.
It appears to have devolved upon
him to seo that our public officials
who have been dubbing along on
$3000 to 14000 a year should have
a raise on account of the high cost of
living, nnd to this end his energies
have been largely directed. Wo real
ize that some evilly disposed per
sona, Have criticized this great work
and have called It nil sorts of names
salary grab and the like and
have claimed that, at this time, when
the state Is bending every energy to
kcop within the limit of the law in
its needed expenditures, the increase
in salaries 1b wholly unwarranted,
and all that, but It Is truly a great
work,' and as tho total will amount
to only a few thousand dollars tho
taxpayers will .hall the Increase with
great delight.
"Will Bend please consider this?"
(From Friday's Dally.)
G. Benson, city councilman, re
ceived word today through tho bu
reau xjf Insurance, U. S. treasury de
partment, of tho death of his brother,
Reinholdt Benson, a member ot the
American expeditionary forces in
France. Xo details ivoro given in
tho communication received by Mr,
Benson. His brother hnd been over
seas for seven months when last
heard from three months ago. He
was u member of Company B, 47th
Infantry.
LEGISLATURE
END IS NEAR
(Continued from Page 1.)
OUR TRANSPORTATION
PROBLEMS.
Some ot our national transporta
tion problems and difficulties can be
better understood when It is remem
bered that In tho northeastern sec
tion ot the United "States, Including
Now York, Pennsylvania, adjoining
states and New England, the popu
lation lsVo93 persons to every mile
of railroad; in the south the figures
of 407 persons per mile, and in the
west, 262.
There are 15 square miles of land
to ovory mile ot railroad in the west,
while in tho east there is one mile ot
railroad to every five square miles
of land. Thero are Innumerable fac
tories in this eastern theater, and
tho bringing in of coal and raw ma
terial nnd the carrying out of manu
factured products mako up a tre
mendous freight tonnage.
Tho railroad administration Is
solving gradually many problems. By
the elimination of many unnecessary
passenger trains several thousand
engines aro diverted from passonger
to freight traffic, which relieves tho
situation materially. Also by load
ing the freight curs to full capacity
a great saving Is being accomplished,
Routing 'Jfj4fit by the most direct
routo and other methods adopted by
the administration are, doing much
to eap.itlia a jraln on, our .transporta
tion facilities.
A railroad Is to start south from
Bend.
mother's son of a soldier returning
from overseas will be absolutely and
completely taken care of for tho rest
of his natural life.
Some one suggests that there bo
an entertainment for tho soldiers.
"Issue bonds," is tho answering
shriek. Somo one else weakly pipes
up that perhaps- the soldier would
rather havo a Job than a reception.
'Issue bonds," shouts tho chorus.
Some ono wishes to build a prison,
another to build a university, a third
a reconstruction hospital, o fourth
would'havo 40,000 returning soldiers
hauled from the trains as fast as
they arrive and marched out under
guard to shovel rocks onto public
highways at $3 a day, as tho state's
wonderful appreciation of tholr glori
ous record In tho blood-muddled
trenches of France; another feels
that tho solution would tie In build
ing a mighty merchant marine, and
still another would have them how
down tho forests and after tho for
ests had been hewed down then pro
ceed to hew thorn up again Into rail
road tics; still anothor suggests this
and anothor suggests that. With
each new suggestion the chorus all
dolled up in legislative tights shrieks
out "Issue bonds" until It becomes
first a chant and then an anthem
and then a pandemonium.
Soldiers' Welfare Forgotten.
The boys want to reconstruct all
right. Some of them aro downright
sincere and want to reconstruct for
tho benefit ot tho soldiers. Others
want to reconstruct their rather
sorry political fortunes, and still
others wish to reconstruct because
they haven't any idea In the world
as to what else In the world to do.
In the meantlmo, the soldier Is
coming home and wondering what It
Is all about, and In most cases Isn't
saying a word, except to his old
boss and asking and getting bis
old Job back.
Plans have been advanced for a
special election to put all of these
proposed reconstruction measures
onto tho ballot, with all of tho spe
cial appropriation bills besides which
the legislature couldn't touch be
cause of the C per cent, amendment,
and also to put on tho samo ballot
all of tho proposed constitutional
amendments which have arisen In
veritable hordes, and In uddltlou
somo two or three dozen other mis
cellaneous measures which have
arisen from nowhere and are tending
In the same direction.
If tills sppclal election plan goes
through it is certain that the ballot,
thereof will bo a fearfully uhd won
derfully made affair. It Is a fre
nuenl expression of tho Oregon su
premo court'that It takes up a docu
ment by "all four cirnora." If tho
court ever attempts to 'take up this
proposed ballot by all four qorners
It will need nn arm ns long ns the
head thnt hasn't ono supremely
crazy about all ot these reconstruc
tion measures.
He-torment Emphatic.
Tho legislature, or n part of It, Is
ondenvorlng to trnmu up u ballot ot
such dimensions and character thnt
tho people will Bwat ull ot tho moils
ures, from tholr very inability to
grasp tho monnltiR ot any ot them
out ot tho plethora ot theories and
chimeras that wilt bo placed In front
of them.
Thuro nro Bovornl Abrnhnm Lln
colns In tho rocousjructlau outfit that
nro endeavoring to stir up tho grand
old slate, Each ono of them Is thor
oughly satisfied that It tho rest ot
them would listen to his particular
suggestion or suggestions tho whole
business, could bo. finished up In a
wtpk, nnd they nro no satisfied that
It the rest ot thorn would follow their
suggestions they would at tho next
oloctlon becomo congressmen, or
United States senators, or becomo at
tached to some sort or other ot lucra
tive otflco.
It might bo said as an nsldo that
this Idea ot lucrative .offices runs
very, very largely through n lot of
the hot air that has been peddled
hero tor 40 days by a tow of tho
most accomplished hot air artists
who over turned tho legislative halls
Into a pair of steam heatod furnaces.
In tho main, thu legislature is
made up ot somo serious, carucnt-
mlnded, sobcr-thoughtcd nion, who
wish to do something tor thu state
and after It is dono get home. But
thoy havo been discredited In the
eyes of tho world by a few loud
mouthed, long-wludcd, political Job
seeking Individuals who have con
sumed so much time, during tho ses
sion thnt tho legislature started on
Its last week far behind with Its
work, nnd its calendars and commit
tees congested to the last notch.
Hut Air Abundant.
Somo of thoso Individuals Aro as
certain right now thnt thoy hnve
automatically elected themselves to
somo high office by shooting off
bnrrcls of heated ozone ns they are
certain that they are members of
tho present legislature. Others who
havo wntched tholr work nro Just
as well satisfied that thoy have com
pletely nnd effectually barred them
selves from public esteem for nil
time. As to who thoso Individuals
arc, let us draw the mantle ot char
ity. All that tho Inquisitive need to
do to ascertain their nnmos Is to
look through the front pngo head
lines of certain big city dallies on
any day of the 40 Just closing. They
will find these names emblazoned
thoro each day, and underneath tho
headlines will bo found columns nnd
columns nnd columns ot tommyrot,
bunk and self-aggrandizement.
This legislature In tho main has
beon pretty fair, with tho exception
that It hasn't dono anything and tho
chances are that It won't do any
thing very much. Astdo from that
it has advanced with masterly strides.

Armenian
Situation
1W
On Saturday, February 22, commences
the eight day drive in Deschutes County
to raise $3,100.00 for the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian re
lief, of which over $800.00 has been al
ready voluntarily subscribed and paid in.
The Committee (of New York) hopes in this drive
to raise the sum of $30,000,000 for the purchase of
food supplies and seed grain, etc., and for the further
purpose of returning the Armenian and Syrian peo
ple to their own country.
The Committee believe that if they are able to get
these people back on their own land, with food and
seeds sufficient to harvest one crop, that this trouble
will be definitely ended.
There have been deported by the Moslems since
1 9 1 4 (as a so-called military necessity) approximate
ly 4,000,000 people, of whom over 25, or 1,000-,
000, have since died. These people are now in ab
ject poverty, and scattered through southern Palest
ine and along the Suez Canal, absolutely without
food, clothing, or funds. Their lands have been de
vastated, buildings burned, and their property con
fiscated or destroyed by the Turks. . It is now possi
ble for the Committee to go back into Asia Minor,
and begin that reconstruction which the Armenians
are so fully qualified to carry on without help if they
can be cared for until one harvest time.
The Local Committee believes, that without regard
for the fact that the great World War is over, every
person in Deschutes county will (as they will in ev
ery corner of the United States) lend, their influence
and donate of their plenty to the relief of the people
of Asia Minor, a people oppressed by the Moslems
to the point of almost absolute extinction.
