Lets all get busy and see how well we can thin tiie.ni. Mr. Redding moved onto his new ly acquired ranch a few days ago, and is as busy as a beo getting ready to begin spring work. Mr. Keithley and family are living at the Claud Keithley home at the present time. Mr. Keithley talks like lie might go to Portland. A letter of recent date from near Sacramento, Cal., states that it had rained incessantly for over two weeks and that it was so wet there that one would soon need a canoe unless the weather changed. Here's hoping it may clear up in California and rain like the mischief here. A mouse in the cistern caused quite a commotion at school Monday morn ing.

Greatest Literary Man is the Writer . of Ails That Sell M. A. Hee l. "It takes a real writer to force peo ple to read what they think they don't want to read about; you will notice that the writers of great liter ature started by choosing something that people wanted to read. It take? real gray matter to construct an ad vertisement with genuine selling power." In this epigrammatic way, Merrill A. Reed, president of the Reed Ad vertising company of Portland, told 120 State University students that the man who puts an ad. into an Ore gon newspaper ought to pay just as much attention to his method of sell ing the goods as he does to buying them. "An ad writer is like an architect in one respect," he said: "the ar chitect has to know all about the dif ferent parts of the building as he constructs it. So the writer of an ad. should have full knowledge of the business and the goods he writes about." Mr. Reed gave figures to show that others besides himself believe in ad vertising: "In American magazines alone, $7,0(10,000 a year is spent on ads," he said. The original man with something to sell knew he must advertise: he carved on a rock a crude announce ment, Mr. Reed said. Printing type, fast presses, and development of modern news services, gave adver tising wonderful impetu... "but even now advertising has not been reduced to an exact science, although it is one of the biggest factors In our dally life." More than 100 students, nearly all men, have enrolled for this advertis ing series. They include many of the future consumers of advertising in this state, who know that to be suc cessful they will have to advertise, and who desire to learn while in the University how best to do it to achieve results.

RATE USE ay FARMERS' UNION OFFICIALS THINK RAILROADS ARE EN TITLED TO MORE REVENUE. Products of Plow and Farmer Who Lives at Home Should Bo Exempt From Increase. By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The recent action of the Interstate Commerce Commission In granting an Increase in freight rates In the eastern classification of territory; the applica tion of the roads to Btate and inter state commissions for an Increase In rates, and the utterances of President Wilson on the subject bring the farm ers of this nation face to face with the problem of an Increase in freight rates. It Is the policy of the Farmers' Union to meet the issues affecting the welfare of the farmers squarely and we will do so in this Instance. The transportation facilities of the United States are inadequate to ef fectively meet the demands of com merce and particularly in the South and West additional railway mileag is needed to accommodate the move ment of farm products. If in the wis dom of our Railroad Commissions an increase in freight rates Is necessary to bring about an improvement in our transportation service, and an exten sion of our mileage, then an increase should be granted, and the farmer is willing to share such proportion of the Increase as justly belongs to him, but we have some suggestions to make , as to the manner In which this lu- I crease shall be levied. Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist ance.' The freight rates of the nation have been built up along lines of least re sistance. The merchant, the manu facturer, the miner, the miller, the lumberman and the cattleman have had their traffic bureaus thoroughly organized and in many instances they have pursued the railroad without mercy and with the power of organ ized tonnage they have hammered the life out of the rates and with unre strained greed they have eaten the vitals out of our transportation system and since we have had railroad com missions, these interests, with skill and cunning, are represented at every hearing in which their business is Involved. The farmer is seldom represented at rate hearings, as his organizations have never had the finances to em ploy counsel to develop his side of the case and, as a result, the products of the plow bear an unequal burden of the freight expense. A glance at the freight tariffs ubtindantly proves this assertion. Cotton, the leading agricultural product of the South, al ready bears the highest freight rate of any necessary commodity in com merce, and the rate on agricultural products as a whole is out of pro portion with that of the products of the factory and the mine. We offer no schedule of rates, but hope the commission will be able-to give the railroad such an increase in rates as is necessary without levying a further toll upon the products of the plow. The instance seemB to pre sent an opportunity to the Railroad Commissions to equalize the rates as between agricultural and other classes of freight without disturbing the rates on staple farm products. What Is a Fair Rate? We do not know what constitutes a basis for rate making and have never heard of anyone who did claim to know much about It, but if the pros perity of the farm is a factor to be considered and the railroad commis sion concludes that an Increase in rates Is necessary, we would prefer that it come to us through articles of consumption on their journey from the factory to the farm. We would, for example, prefer that the rate on nogs remain as at present and the rate on meat bear the increase, for any farmer can then avoid the burden by raising his own meat, and a farm er who will not try to raise his own meat ought to be penalized. We think the rate on coal and brick can much better bear an increase than the rate on cotton and flour. We would prefer that the rate on plows remain the same, and machinery, pianos and such articles as the poor er farmer cannot hope to possess bear the burden of Increase. The increase in rates should be so arranged that the farmor who lives at home will bear no part of the bur den, but let the farmer who boards In other states and countries and who feeds his stock in foreign lands, pay the price of his folly.
