As the result of a alight dispute between Shedd and Scio, as to which has the right to the title of the “The DairY CitY,” the Shedd Commercial club has de cided to yield the recently adopt ed slogan of this town to Scio and adopt another slogan &« ———-, “The Dairy ( enter. ” none Tan and freckle lotion, This action w as taken at a re 'better, 25c at Peery ’ s. cent meeting of the local commer cial club when a letter from the Team, harness and hack for Scio Commercial Club asked sale cheap if taken at once.

The above is probably intend ed as a clever bit of sarcasm, but fall« rather flat to those fa- miliar with conditions here, as it shows either lamentable ig- norance or willful perversion of facts by the writer in the last paragraph. We would respectfully call the attention of the good people of Shedd to a statement made by F H Porter of that vicinity while exhibiting his stock at the fair here last fall, to the effect that the best herds of cattle which he had ever seen were raised around Scio. County Judge McKnight was also heard to make a similar remark. Among those around Scio who go in for pure bred stock we might mention V Prokop, T M Holt. Carl Middlesudt, T J __ . Pettit, K Borovitsky, J C Chris- man and Will Hassler, who all have fine herds of registered jeraeys, and C A Poavar. whose blooded guernseys are the envy of all who see them. Another, but perhaps unimportant fact from the Shedd viewpoint, is that the chief industry in the Forks of the Santiam is dairying, and the Scio Condensery is being patronized at present by about sixty farmers, while a number ship to Portland creameries. All these have good grade herds. “We hardly knew Scio was on the map as a dairy city.” You had better go to night school, old top. Even the postal clerks on the railroads know this simple fact, as the writer saw a letter Mr and Mrs Cass Gibson and daughters, Hallie, Nettie and La Verne of Salem motored up Sun day and visited at the home of Dr Prill.

The superscription was as follows: “Secretary Commer cial Club, Dairy City of the Wil lamette Valley, Oregon.” Illi RSDAY, \ (<. I ST •>, HU :. Let S .All Boost No. ». An Evening Sei ne The western ikv is tinged with ruse, IT is common to hear a 31♦ . non-advertising mer chant say that he does not believe in advertising but gives the customer the bene fit of the money he saves by not advertising. Ix*t us ex amine this statement and see how much truth it contains. Judicious advertising sells more goods f<>r the merchant, turns his stock quicker and makes it possible, by increas ing the volume of business to buy in bigger quantities and obtain a bigger di -count. Increasing the volume of business decreases the selling cost. A merchant will sell cheaper, if possible. Recall he will thus gam customers from his cornjwtitors. ami al so increase the demand as lowering the price of an arti cle places it within the reach of a larger per cent of the people and is thus a stimu- lant to trade. The price of a commodity is lowered and the quality is bettered through the medium of advertising Take the automobile as illustration. Advertising has made the automobile business. It over came the prejudice that ex isted against the machine and created a demand that en abled the factories to increase the output and cut the «ell- ing pri.e to less than 50 jM-r cent of what it was a few years ago. It is readily seep that consumer does not pay advertising, as the ad tis<*r sells cheaper than non-advertiser. If the consumer dots not pay for the advertising, who does pay? It cannot be the advertiser as advertising in creases his sales, decreases his selling cost ami inert a-es his profits. The advertiST doesn’t pay, liecause adver tising pays him. Then who pays for the ad vertising? The non-adver tiser pays for the advertising done by his advertising com petitor. All business that he loses to his advertising competitor is part of the price he pays. The non-ad vertiser and the jMmr adver tiser, each in proportion. pay for the ads of the good ad- vertiser.
