ALBANY. OREGON. MONDAY. MARCH I. 1920
FIGHTING THE NEWS PRINT HOGS
B. 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!

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.

Is necewary to have the camera very
(Irmly placed either on a tripod or a
table so that It would not move dur

down to the floor level, passed under
the lower rail of a heavy chair, along
the floor, under your boot(tetween the
heel and sole), and held In the hand
behind the back. If the string runs
freely a slight pull should release the
shutter and make the exposure. If It
does not, pick the camera up and start

With the first appearance of Cock Robin signs of
spring bring thoughts of that garden that will furnish
you with so much pleasure in the making and so much
luxury and real satisfaction in the eating of your own
grown vegetables a few weeks hence.
But to garden you must have tools, and our tools
are of the right kind and quality. Better look over
yours.
