USE PRINTERS INK.
A merchant of niuch experience,
who recently addressed a gathering of
newspaper men in one of the states of
the middle west, paid:
"In this great period of advance
ment and progress mere storekeepers
can no longer succeed. It tatus live,
wideawake, aggressive merchants to
succeed today. The successful mer
chant of today, whether in the large
or small town, must deal with modern
conditions. One of the most impor
tant of these is the fact that this ia a
great age of publicity. Printer's ink
is todav selilng mere goods than ever
before in the world's history, and
from present indications its usefulness
in this respect is only beginning.
"People depend upon thir newsua
pers and magazines for information on
what to buy and where to buy. If we
would be successful we must tell the
public what we have to offer. We
must, through the judicious use of
printer's ink, convince the people that
our wares are desirable and that .our
values are consistent with the prices
asked. The ultimate end of the non-
adveitising retailer is very prophetic
ally depicted in a little incident cred
ited to Mark Twain. Durirg Mark
Twain's newspaper days one of his
readers found a spider in his copy of
the paper and wrote Mark asking what
it ment. The reply was that the spi
der was looking over the columns if
the paper to ascertain who were the
nonadvertisers so that he could weave
his web over their doors.
"So if the small town merchant
does not advertise the people of his
community are not advised of the
foci that he has reliable and desirable
goods or that he ofers excellent val
ues. They read the announcements
of the large city merchant; they are
attracted to the cities or, in too many
instances, they fall victim to the
alluring literature of the mail order
honses. Trade which rightfully be
longs to them is leaving solely be
cause of lack of onblicitv. For this
reason it is obvious that extensive ad
verting is one of the strongest
weapons that the country merchant
possesses against the giant mail order
houses."
"What is a progressive?" is the
querv of an eastern paper. Then it
proceed? to answer the same as fol
lows: "No doubt those who call
themsevles the progressives of both
tbe Republican and Democratic par
ties, and who seem to be about to
'flock by themselves' into a seperate
party organization could answer this
question off hand. In a glib manuer
they could rattle off a string of ele
ments which go to constitute progres
sivism in the modern political sense
of the term. But even thm they
migh fail to make the explanation in
telligible to the inquirer. The aver
age man who has a fair knowledge of
words and their meaning would say
that progressive means being in favor
of progress in all rightful directions
And yet a man in public ilfe may be
this, and in his progressivism render
admirable servioe, of a most whole
some and practical nature to his peo
ple and still not be regarded by the
modern political progressives as wor
thy of their approval."
Democratic Danger Threat
ening the Farmer and
Laborer.
The tariff and the trusts are tbe
economic affairs that directly and
chiefly concern tbe American farmer
and the American laborer in this
vear's presidential and congresjio lal
contest of the republican and demo
cratic parties.
Tbe country s experience in ibsj-o
ith the democratic tinkering with
the tariff taught the wage earners that
the tariff and oar industrial and agri
cultural interests can not safely be
ntrustedto democratic administration.
It ia a fact of historical record that
tbe times when the protective principle
hat been recognized and npneia oy loe
tariff bave been the times of fat pay
rolls and full dinner pails for the
workman, whereas the years when the
policy of tariff for revenue oaly has
prevailed have been lean timeJ of low
wages and uncertain employment for
the laborer.
But in 1912 the democratic party,
unmindful of the lessons of practical
experience, reaffirms that "under the
operations of the high tariff the
American farmer and laboring man
are the chief sufferers. "
The facts of the present refuto the
democratic assertion. The ' farmer
receives higher prices for his products
under the repub l an protective tariff
than he received in 1893-4 under the
democratic revenue tariff . The work
ing man receives higher wages and his
money goes further in protective
America than his British brother's in
free-trade England. t
Experience proved that to over
throw the American pulipy of protec
tion to American industries and work
en or even try , to replace it with
tariff lor revenue unly brings disaster
to American business and distress to
American labor.
Tho republican party sincerely and
heartily beleives in the reform of the
tariff and in the reduction of duties
that are proved to be too high. But
it also believes in protection to Amer
ican interests. The democracy does
not.--Spokane Spokesman-Review.
FROM OVER THE STATE.
The Sate Fair board has voted 8500
to be used as prizes for the Eugenics
Exposition planned for Wednesday,
September 4. This is a feature of
the State Fair this year for the first
time and it is expeoted it will attract
a great deal of attention. It is to be
really a soientifio baby show, children
up to three years old being eligib'e
for prizes. A $50 silver cup will be
offered for the best boy and the best
girl in the show and six cups for the
best boy and girl in three divisions,
the agea running from 6 months to
three years.
Medical experts will judge the
children entered from the standpoint
of physical perfection, much as live
stock is judged. O. M, Flummer has
been made superintendent of tne Eu
genics show and is hopeful of having
children entered at Salem. He hones
various granges, commrecial bodies
and districts will hold local shows in
each county, sending the best bry and
girl from the conntv to the state com
petition.
Pnblio sales of dairy stock will be
held during the Pacific International
Dairy Show, which is scheduled for
Portland Union Stockyards, November
18-23. During two days and a half
cattle from all parts of the world
mav be sold. In competition, only
stock from the states west of the
Rocky Mountains and from British
Columbia may be entered. Prizes
and trophies amounting to $6,000 will
be given. There wil he no entry fee
nor will admission be charged.
To extend the usefulness of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, branch
has been opened in London by W. F.
Gwin, general manager, and it is
hoped to extend the fame of North
west fruit throughout Europe, it is
believed the present business there
can be increased largely.
It is nromised that liberal sums
will be provided for the building of
boulevards and general improvements
in 'Crater Lake National Park by the
Government. It is the intention to
secure appropriations of $100,000 an
nually for the next seven years. An
item of $100,000 has been inserted in
the Sundry Civil Service bill and it
is expected it will go through this
session.
The Southern Paoiflc Company
nlans a new department of electria
lines which will include many of the
shorter roads through the Willamette
Valley. It is thought a big system
of trollev interurban lines will be
built up within the next few years
that will aid very greatly the devel
opment of the Willamete Valley coun
try. Dr. Paul Ritter, Minister from
Switzerland to the United States, be

Remember the Contests.
Mr. N. C. Maris, who has been
working in Eastern Oregon iu the in
terests of the state-wide agiicpltural
and industrial contests hat addressed
the following letter to (he boys and
girls and their parents who live in
Oregon east of the Cascades.
"Good morning, Johnnie, hnw are
your pigs today?" asked Superinten
dent Alderman of a boy who is going
to bring pigs to the Stale Fair.
"Oh fine." replied the lad, "How
are all of your folks "
This is the spirit in which the boys
and girls who are to win are going
into their work making it a very
personal matter. It has been quite a
while since I visited your county and
talked to you about raising and mak
ing things and exhibiting them at the
State Fair and your local fair next
fall and as it is not possible for me to
visit you again before fair time I am
writing you tMs letter through the
columns of your newspaper to ask vou
how your pigs, 'chickens, potatoes,
bird houses, dresses, etc., are. I
hope you have not given up. "Faint
heart never won fair lady," you
know, neither has a discouraged or
lazy boy won a splendid prize,
"Life without labor is a crime"
I heard a noted man at Gladstone say
the other day. 1 know the boys and
the girls of eastern Oregon want to
work. One of the first prize winners
in Portland las!: year had to carry
water seven blocks to keep his garden
growing on his poor piece of ground.
It is that sort of sticK-to-it-ivness
which wjll win this contest this year
and later win the battle of life.
Then you ought to have local pride.
Surely you do not want the Willam
ette valley boys and girU to win all
of those prizes. How about those
grain selections? You have a bum
per crop of wheat and surely you can
win that Berkshire pig and those
numerous cash prizes. All you have
to do it to go out and get together a
good collection of different Kinds of
grain and put it together in nice
shape.
- And those beautiful Shetland j
ponies two of them one for tbe best,1
trio of chickens and the other for the
best sow and litter of pigs. Get out
your premium lists and read them
over again and see what you have that
you would stand a chance to win a
prize with. How about you girls
with your needle work? Remember
there ia a sewirg mwchine for the one
that makes aud exhibits the best dress
and a writing desk for the best apron
and you can send your exhibits to the
fair by mail at very little trouble or
expense.
PARENTS MUST HELP. Parents,
can't vou afford to give your boy or
girl a trip to the state fair? Or a
short course at the O. A. O. if they
get in aud win a prize In this contest?
It is going to require your cooppra
tion if yrur boys and girls are to be
come interested and remain on the
farm. You will have to give them
an opportunity some peisonal owner
ship in something, some recreation and
amusement on the farm, and make
the old farm as plesaant and attractive
as possible.
School Notes.

To Build Warehouse.
The members of the Farmers' Un
ion adjacent to Heponer, are prepar
ing to construct a new warehouse in
this city. They have had this matter
under consideration for some time
past, in fact would have no doubt
built last year hud the crops turned
out better. A site has been secured
from the railroad company jost west
of the depot whore the Light and
Water Company have been unloading
their wood for the past several years.
The ground is now being shaped ud
and the construction of the waiehouBe
and platform will begin at ouce. The
bulding is to be commodious, covering
100 by 190 feet, and wll be devoted
entirly to the handling of grain.
There will be a very large amount of
wheat anhd other grain handled at
Heppner this season and the new
warehouse expects to get its share.
Tne charges, we understand, will be
75 oents per ton. the same as oharged
by the other warehouses, and the bus
iness will be run on the oo-ooerative
plan, the farmers taking stock in the
venture.
