The mails are flooded these days with circular letters from liquor deal crs, particularly from San Francisco. After the first of the year it will be illegal to advertise liquor in any shape, hence the mails will be re sorted to, requiring names, which are now being sought. A San Francis co solicitation for business is sugges tive. It reads: To you. Friend You have probably used our goods for years but the direct relation of buyer and seller has been absent. You know our goods but you do not know us, so we hasten to mention that wc are "Delighted to meet you." This changed method of handling the busi ness of the northwest is unnatural to us and will probably be more so to you; we therefore want to get right up close to you and say "Friend, we want to make your ordering" as eas; for you as possible, and will handle your every order 'Within the Law.' MAKING FILMS. The development of the manufac luring of films for the show houses is one of the wonders of the age. The business is so lucrative that every where there have sprung up large in stitutions for the setting of the plays for the films. Southern California be cause of its climate, is perhaps the greatest in the world. Another one is Jamaica, where, it is said tlTe William Fox Corporation is producing a mil lion dollar production, already $373, 000 having been spent. One thous and tons of properties have been sent there and $175,000 spent for cos tumes. The government regulation of the Island of Jamaica forbids the land ing of any animal, not even a dog is permitted to enter, but owing to the large expenditure of money and the employment of native help, hotel ex pense, etc., the government of Jamai ca gave Win. Fox special permission, permitting the entry of the wild ani mals necessary for the production o: this, wonder photoplay. By arrange ment with a South African firm of wild animal importers there has been , landed in Jamaica 75 camels, an as sortment of lions, and panthers. In the staging of a battle scene no less than 25,000 people took part, r.nd fortunately for the producers, 10,000 Hindoos who worked on the Panama Canal were interned at Jamaica at the outbreak of the big war and through permission of the British government, they are also being used in the pic ture. A large detachment of the na tive born whites are being used for army purposes and are also used in the picture in costumes supplied from the United States. There was also drafted from the service 5,000 horses used by the cavalry on the island. Notice of Bond Redemption.

Lady Assistant I WORK OP PRESS APPRECIATED Newspapers of Oregon Helped Mate rially to Make Oregon Exhibits Great Success, San Francisco, Dec. 20, 1915. Albany Democrat: Nothing has been more instrumental iu the ack nowledged success of Oregon's un dertaking at the Panama-Pacific In ternational Exposition than the hear ty friendly interest of the newspaper men of Oregon. In the preliminary work incident to urotising interest and gathering exhibits the Oregon press performed an invaluable serv ice. In sending to the Oregon Build ing for filing purpose and public peru sal, and in finding it possible and de sirable to use any portion of the news matter sent out from this building, the Oregon newspapers have perform ed another splendidly helpful service At this time, as the Exposition period is about to close, the Commission de sires to express its sincere apprecia tion of this generous cooperation and to acknowledge its deep sense of ob ligation. I would urge you to accept this expression as anything but the stereotyped "card of thanks," but ra ther as a sincere grateful acknowl edgement of a truly helpful service that has been noted and frequently commented on by the Commission when in formal session and privately as well. As you know, the Commission has served the state two years and whol ly without compensation. It's whole effort has been an entirely unselfisii service in bchal: of the state wc all love and which we hope will be made more populous and prosperous as a result of the endeavor here. To whatever success there has been the Oregon press also has certainly con tributed its full share, and it is our confidence that the results will show mightily during the coming years. It may be of interest to you to know that the Oregon appropriation for use at the Exposition has been so carefully conserved that there is still ample within the fund to finish the work here in accordance with contracts and the State act.

In 1047. when the kingdom of Na ples whs under Hie grinding rule of Spain, a flshcrinuu of Sorrento was stung lo mildness by the Indignities offered his wife by Bpaulsb nlllelnls bo cause she h.id attempted to smuggle i few hiiudfuls of Hour. So furious wus he that be lore down an edict thut bad Just been posted by the authorities. The wnole population. Including woin en nnd children, rallied uround film. Forty year of Spanish oppression had mndo I hem rrnntle. They terrified the viceroy, resisted -the soldiers success fully and killed muny of the Spanish residents. They secured s revocation of oppressive edicts, the nbollshuient of oppressive tuxes and full pardon for ill who engaged In the Insurrcctlou. Tho fisherman, whoso name was Miisnnlelo. was the lender in all this nnd bei iwne the Idol of the people. He rilled Naples for seven days, hut his success seems lo hnvo turned hls'heud. He became dictatorial and oppressive and wns put to death by the populuee. Hence be Is culled Ilia "seven days king." Argonaut "We" and "Thoy." In the smaller towns uud country dis tricts people sny "we" when they speak of governmental activity. "We" built the courthouse and got II done lit low cost. "We" organized the high school. "We" puy the expenses of keeping pris oners In tbe Jul). In the big cities people any "they." Why don't "they' do thus nnd o?" People wonder when the city govern ment falls down. It Isn't a personal mutter with them. The government Isn't their government. It belongs to somebody else. Thero Is a world of difference In tho two uttltudes. When the iieoplo of the cities get lo saying "we" about Ibeir cities uud counties, then they uro going to clean house und luke possession. Kansas City Stur.
