UW HP s-eaas-.-- Selling Cost Every merchant is in busi ness for profit -not gross pro fit but net profit. Gross profit is the difference between the purchase price (or producing cost) and the selling price, while net profit is the differ- ence between the purchase price plus selling cost and .the selling price. Every merchant knows that if the selling price does not exceed the'pnrchase price and selling cost combined at the end of the yearthere it no real profit coming.to him out of the business. To remedy this he must do one of three tilings reduce purchase price, increase selling price or reduce selling cost A merchant may reduce the purchase price a little by buying in quantities, or watch ing the market and always buying safe but the purchase price is fixed by others and he must pay their price. Of course is the article is one the merchant produces himself he may reduce the cost of produc tion. The merchant may in crease selling price, although the demand and competition have a great deal to do with fixing the selling price. But the selling cost is in the hands of each! merchant. It is by manipulating selling cost that each business becomes a ku cess or a failure. Therefore it I stands each merchant in hand to reduce his selling cost. Every merchant could han dle more business than he now handled with the same selling force. By increasing the sales with the same selling force the Belling cost is reduced. The blem for the merchant is to educate people to want his goods and buy them. John D. Rockefeller said: "The great cost in business is waste. " To do away with this waste or reduce it to the mini mum is the purpose of adver tising. Judicious advertising will increase sales, thus reduc- 1V1I1K BCI11IIK tUBl uiiu wunu More or less criticism and dis satisfaction have been voiced throughout the Central Oregon country relative to the expense and methods of exploiting the country for settlement and the apparent lack of the desired re sults. It has been rather difficult to sit down after the crumbs and the cigar ashes have been swept up from beneath the banquet boards of the past and figure out whether or not that particular community had been benefited to an extent commensurate with the expense and trouble incurred. Often we have been lead to the conclusion that all who participat ed were playing at the same game and from the same side f the table Because the methods employed have not brought the success expected is no reason to top short off on all advertising and effort. It were better to re form the system and tackle the job from another angle, with another style of instrument and renewed energy. As a matter of fact the present is the important and proper time for the local commercial clubs and development' boosters through-out the eastern part of the state to continue their organizations, and to keep in touch Tand work harmoniously with the state organizations and the Commercial Club of Portland. We are nearer to the time when things are going to be doing. The last legislature amended and made more effective the laws r. hitive to the Oregon State Im migration Commission, and made an appropriation of $50,000 "For the payment of the expenses of the Oregon State Immigration Agent, for printing and mailing tiie Oregon State booklet, statis tical work and for making ex hibits in land product shows out lias of Oregon and for encourag ing desirable agricultural im migration from the northern European countries." The legislature also provided for Agricultural College Exten sion work and our county court hi now made liberal provision and has the funds ready to co operate in this work. The Port land Commercial Club has raised by public subscription a $150,000 fund for a three years' campaign. It is up to each locality to see that it has recognitien: that the data and information which are to appear in the booklets and published articles are proper and reliable and that complete ex hibits of farm products are secured. People over in the western part of the state naturally have some local prejudices. The first and greatest effort will be put forth in the Willamette Valley. There they will undoubtedly suc ceed in placing the man who wants a country home, the small truck farmer, the fruit man and the hop grower. But perhaps they will meet with some dis appointment when it comes to placing the big eastern farmer who desires to continue in the grain and stock business. The conditions are so different from what he has been used to, and the price of land a little high. This class of immigration must bebrought to and shown over Eastern Oregon. It is proper to go after the better class of European im migrants we should also endeavor to secure the farmer from the central states who now con templates moving to Canada as well as to get those who have tried Canada and are ready to return. and child in the valley by insur ing transportion, settlement, and increased opportunities in the business and social life. While the writer has no per sonal information, we believe that on account of his past con nection with the management of the County Fair the Editor of the Times-Herald has refrained from publishing anything relative to the lack of interest manifest ed by the Board of Directors in prejmring for the Harney County Fair this Fall. This certainly is a most favor able year to hold a good, old fashioned agricultural fair. A fine display of products can be assembled and much useful in formation furnished to all visi tors. Such displays can always be passed on and used for other occasions. This really should tie one step in the Agricultural Col lege Extension work, as it gives an excellent opportunity for the farmers to compare notes and studv the results of the different varities and methods of cropping Water continues to pile up in Malheur Iiake and swamp. It carried over high last fall, we had a fairly heavy spring flood run-off and the summer supply lias more than off set the evapo ration. As a consequence a much smaller acerage of extremely low lands will be cut over for hay this season than usual. What a clear demonstration of gigantic waste of valuable water and fer tile lands! The surprising feature is that there would be any opposition to legitimate development which News of the State and Nation Fire caused 116.000 damage to the O.-W. R. & N. K. R. CVs bridge across the Willamette River at 1'ortland last week Street car traffic over the bridge was discontinued for three days and several of the larger river craft were bottled up as the draw could not be operated. Continued dry weather through out the corn belt has caused an es timated shortagcof from 200, 000, 000 to 300. 000. 000 bu. and sent the price of corn up 7 cents per bushel in one week. Portions of Iowa report that all drought re cords for July have been broken, there being less than two tenths of an inch of rain fall during the month. At an election held at Bend last week the taxpayers voted in favor of $1,000 bond issue for a new school building. The issue for $45,000 submitted for a site and building for the High School was voted down. Secretary of the Interior, Lane will visit Oregon during the later part of the month, and has plan ned to inspect the two Federal reclamation projects. He is to be in Umatilla Aug. 19, and in Klamath Falls the 22 and 23. The enlarged Oregon Supreme Court is breaking all past records in cleaning up the ancient litiga tion. 07 decisions were handed down during July. On August 4, the interstate commerce commission ordered sweeping reduction in express rates (or parcels all over the country. The cut will range from 10 to 60 per cent, and will become effective October 15. The new rates will be considered ex perimental for the first two years, adjusted if found necessary, and then to be permanent. Under the new parcels post regulations effective August 15, 20 pounds may be mailed two hundred miles at the rate of five cents for the first pound and one cent for every additional ouiid. The local rates will also be re duced to one-half the present rate: The largest wheat crop ever produced in the U. 8. is predicted by experts. A production of 767,000,000 bushels is forecasted. Willis S. Duniway. state Print- high score was tied by W. II Robins, Wm. Simmons, A. K. Richardson and S. B Tetherow, each with 23 to his credit In the 14 doubles for a small purse, A. K. Richardson got 13 and Wm. Simmons and Frank Triska each 12. In the 25 singles open for those who had not pcrcipitated in the first event, with eight men up the score ranged from 5 to 19. 13 singles for a small purse was shot off by Ludwig Johnson and A. K. Richardson, with a score of 11 to the former and 10 for the Sheriff. The horse race, a 300 yard dash for a picked up purse of $14.00 was easily won by Spot, a trim little mare owned by Mr. A. Ceorge and rode by Stacey George. PICNIC NOTES It will be noticed that Dell Dibble's and Dr. Griffith's names do not appear in the published lists of high scores. They shot as often as did their competitors. Judge Rector, who set out and nursed the trees now making the shady groves, was present, got away with his share of spring chicken, and enjoyed himself in his usual quiet manner. More than a dozen kodaks kept clicking away, and old man Heck was there with his big shooter and secured some fine views. Harney County has more than six millions of acres, is 140 miles long and 90 miles wide, and pra ctically one-tenth of its entire population was at the picnic. 33 automobiles and 40 horse rigs in line. That the Ford is a popular Harney county vehicle was shown by the fact that 17 cars of that make were on the grounds. There certainly was a heavy onslaught on the spring chicken crop. Chicken raisers had better check up their coops for a lot of fellows nad plenty that day that don't raise 'em. Farmers from different parts of the county were overheard comparing notes and relating crop experiences, a good habit. The height of boyish devilment is certainly reached when tacks are set up in rows on bridges which must be crossed by auto mobiles. It looks like Sheriff Richardson would continue to put the scare into the evil doer by his recent shooting records. Will French, the popular Boise grocery-salesman was there all the time He pressed his auto into service and took out 13 passengers and Dell Dibble. Some of the fair occupants in timated that they were prossHi also. Some ankles were mosuui- to bitten when they had to let their feet hang over. Maurice Schwartz presided with all the grace and dignity of a regular floor manager. Some of our prominent citizens circulated among the crowd shak ing hands and chucking babies under the chin all same as if there was a political campaign in sight. These included our genial friend Jim Mahon of Anderson Valley. II. H. Hendricks and family of Fossile, joined in the enjoy ments of the day.
