Frank Irvine, editor of the Oregon Jorunal, went to Eugene last week and received an earfull of information re garding the newsprint situation as it affects the smaller daily and country weekly publishers. The facts were brought out at the Oregon Newspaper Conference and so greatly was Mr. Irvine impressed that he went back to Portland and began to pour broadsides into the larger daily papers for their unskimoine waste of white oaoer. Nor is the Journal alone among the largest papers of the country which is fighting the abuse. In a recent issue of the New York American and other Hearst publications, William Randolph Hearst notified the barons that unless they voluntarily carried out their pledges to congress that they would reduce the size of their publications from 10 to 12 per cent that he would make a fight on behalf of the country press. Beginning with last Sunday all Hearst pap ers have been reduced 10 per cent in size and Hearst assures us that a 24 page daily with a 72 page Sunday section is large enough for any city. In one case recently the New York American had to leave $14,000 worth of advertising out of a single issue. Equal to half a years business with the Democrat The Democrat finds itself in the predicament mention ed. So do many other papers in Oregon and all over the country. The unusual demand for advertising, the waking up of the business men to the fact that advertising is their greatest ally in righting tor business and other causes are bringing the papers to unheard of size and causing a great waste in print paper. Unless the larger papers voluntarily curb the use of print paper, Congress certainly should take the matter in hand. CAN YOU AFFORD TO LOSE? "You can't afford to' gamble with money you can't af ford to lose." This is the warning issued by a dealer in legiti mate securities when he was asked his opinion on the frenzi ed buying of wildcat stocks which is sweeping the country today. ' This is very simple advice, and should be easily taken. The desire to get rich quickly is as natural as any impulse of human lite. Ihe love ot adventure, ot taking a chance, is born in most people s blood. It is true that many of the greatest industries of the present day would still be non existent, that some of the greatest fortunes would remain unmade, if at one time or another some man had not been willing to take a chance. But for all this the person of small means, before he risks his savings in uncertain specu lation, will do well to consider the words quoted. There are many avenues of safe and legtimate invest ment open always. There are reputable firms dealing in such investments who will give honest advice before accept ing a client's money. To such as these the wise men who cannot afford to lose will turn for advice in placing his funds so that they may earn the best return with the least amount of hazard. 1 The country is full of speculators and crooks who have wild and enticing offers to lure the unwary holder of liberty bonds or savings into changing his solid financial ground for glittering quicksands. If you have money you can afford to lose, turn to these men and let them reap their golden reward while your pile dwindles. If you can't afford to lose, play safe don't gamble! It Is Glareless and Tipless These are the two big advantages of the Westinghouse White Mazda Lamp. The .white porcelain-like glass of which the bulb is made, eliminates glare and softens and diffuses light is The bulb being tioless is less ant to break in handling, and is also easier to clean. These lamps are especially adapted for home, office and store lighting. RALSTON ' When asked her secret of eternal beauty, Lina Caval lierl said: "There is only one. Sleep every night with the face wrapped in veal cutlets!" Wrapping the face in any kind of a good piece of meat every night is most people's dream of beauty. o There won't be much legislation from now on. Every law-maker has a well-defined notion that the less he does between now and election day, the less he'll be blamed for. And they probably have the public sized up about right. It's the sins of commission, rather than the sins of omis sion, that the people notice. I TODAY'S EVENTS : . Monday. March I, 1M0 St. David's day, the great national festival of the Welsh people.
