! Sinl-Wekly Banfrtt
TAKEN as the Intost type of what it stands for what it em
bodieswhat it makes possible and what it actually per
formsThe Victor-Victrola is the most wonderful, the
most enjoyable and the most useful musical instrument of
which the world has ever hnd any knowledge.
With the improved sound amplifying surfaces 'and all moving
parts completely concealed in an artistic cabinet, it appeals to mu
sic lovers who have heretofore denied themselves the pleasure Of
having a Victor simply because of thair fancied objection to the
prominence of the horn
No, the Victor-Victrola tone can't bo equaled! Even though the
eye could take in every detail of construction, there is still that
same indescribable "something" which makes the Stradivarius su
preme umong violins, and gives to the Victor-Victrola that won
derfully sweet, clear and mellow tone which has established this
instrument as pre-eminent in tone quality.

Greatest Number of Illiterates .Arc
1 in California, With AVash-
ington Next.
A government report on illiteracy
in Oregon, just made public is of
considerable interest. It shows
that in the state of Oregon there
are 10,504 illiterates 10 years of age
and over, of whom 1841 arc native
whites, C120 arc foreign born whites
and 40 are negroes. Thero are in
the state G4G0 illiterate males 21
years of age and over, of whom 914
arc native whites, 4033 are foreign
born whites and 24 arc negroes.
Illiteracy in the slate of Washing
ton shows n much higher per cont
ngo. In that state thero aro 18,410
illiterates 10 years of age and over
of whom 1830 are native whites, 11,
233 are foreign born whites and 239
are negroes.
The number of male illiterates in
Washington 21 years of age and ov
er is 10,580, of whom 840 aro na
tive whites, 0993 nrc foreign born
whites and 121 negroes.
In California there are 74,902 illit
erates 10 vears of ace and over, in
cluding 7,509 nativo whites, 50,292
foreign born whites and 1,329 ne
groes. In that state arc 42,787 illit
erates 2J years of age and over, in
cluding 3175 native whites, 28,921
foreign born whites and 550 negroes,
liy far the greatest number of il
literates is to bo found in the south
ern states. In that section the large
negro population swells the illiter
acy percentage. In the state of Ken
tucky for instance, thero aro 208,084
illiterates 10 years of age,, and more,
of whom 57,900 are negroes. In
North Carolina there aro 291,497 il
literates over 10 years of age and of
these 150,303 are blacks. ,

Telling the Truth.
A very young reporter was sent
out by his editor to report a wedding
He returned quickly and sat idly at
his desk, smoking a cigarette. Pres
cntly his chief beckoned to him.
"Why don't you write your arti
cle?" asked the editor.
"Nothing to write," replied the
"cub". "The groom oommitted sui
cide and thero ain't going to be no
wedding."
Just about as near-sighted are a
great many small town merchants
who sit idly in their stores waiting
for their townsmen to get tired of
doing business with mail order
houses and the larger stores in neigh
boring cities. And all the while op
portunity looms big before them
if they will only uso their imagin
ations and see it, says a writer in
the American Fair Trade League.
Last year one mail order house
alone is reported to have done more
than $90,000,000 of business an nv
erage of a dollar for each man, wo
man and child in the United States
And the bulk of this business came
from the small towns, for big city
peopio read so much or "bargain" of
' fers in the dally -papers that mail
order "bargains" of doubtful char
acter have but little fascination for
them.
In tho large cities peopio are be
ginning to realize that sensationally
inclined department stores coald
not exist indefinitely Mf all their
goods were sold on the small mar
gin of profit indicated by tho nows
paper advertisements. They are be
ginning to figure out that these
stores are making money somohow
or other or they would havo to go
out of business. And they are In
clined to resent tho policy of somo of
these stores in offering popular
and standard priced goods at cost,
relying upon the sale of unknown
goods at excessive profit to mako up
tho loss with a fat profit beside,
Very largo stores do not operate
at a lower percentage of cost than
small stores. In fact, tho country
merchant can generally sell his
goods ut an expense only one palf as
great as that incurred by his city
competitor. This is an actual fact
not a theory. That is why the uiir
scrupulous largo retailer and the
sensationally inclined mail order
magnato havo frequently to resort
to lies in their advertising If the
small dealer would study those )ies
and publish the facts about them
in his town paper it would bring him
somo of the dollars that aro now go
ing on tho long journey to tho mail
order houso and tho windy big-city
store of doubtful integrity and "pipy,.
er" advertising mothods.
