Mail Order Command
ments. SO.V.E good friend of ours, pre
sumat'iy a business man of
Heppner. mailed us the following
clipping, headed Ten Command
ments of the Mjil Order House,
and from the standpoint of the
home merchant, e think it is
pretty tfood stuff.
1 You sha'l sell your farm prod
uct lor cash, for we buy nothtnp
frum you,
2 Vou shall believe in us, because
e do not know you personally.
3 You shall send your money to
us in advance, so we can buy the
Foods from the factory with your
money; you may have to wait a few
vetks, but that is our business meth
od. 4 You shall pet help from your
nearest city or village to build good"
roads, so you may easily haul our
poods from the depot, but do not ask
help from us we don't help to build
good road s.
6 You may buy church bells and
Altar utensils from qs. and send the
money in advance that's our rule.
6 You shall pet all the help you
can from the business men in your
neighborhood ; although we may have
more profit from you than they, it is
against our rules to gtve to your
churches.
7 You shall convert your neigh
bors also to your faith in us, for we
have room for more money.
8 Y'ou shall look at the pretty pic
tures in our cat&iogues as often as
you can, so as to strengthen your de
sire for the things you do not need
but which you may order with other
goods to save freight. Send us all
your ready cash so that you may not
have any left to buy necessaries from
your home dealers.
9 You shall believe us rather than
your home business men, for we want
your trade. We get to be million
aires on your support. Don't be
bluffed.
It) You can call on the business
people of your vicinity for help and
credit if you meet with hard luck or
sickness. It's your money we want.
We don't know you unless your or
ders are accompanied by cash.
We have no estimate at the
present time of the amount of
money that goes out from Hepp
ner to the mail order houses, but
the sum is enormous no doubt
sufficient to make a good business
during the year for a large de
partment store. However, the
big picture books come along in
tons from time to time and are
.handed out to practically every
resident of the community, and the
appeal is one that takes. Local
merchants fail to grasp the idea
that the pricing and picturing of
their wares in an attractive way
through the local paper would be
the means of offsetting a large
amount of this trade and bring it
to their doors instead. Then,
again, we wonder how many of
the local business men practice
what they preach, and do their
business with the other business
man of the town. This might help
some.
Roads as Americanizers.
THE American automobilist is
'seeing the country." There is
no doubt about that. He is en
joying life in the great outdoors
where the air and the sunshine are
healthful. Every family in Amer
ica of moderate circumstances
now has some sot of an automo
hiie. Speaking of the situation

in the West recently. Secretary
Hoover said:
"I found them camping out in
their automobiles in the hills and
alios west of the Mississippi. It
is estimated that 5.000 are so en
camped." What is true of the West is true
of the East and the South from
Florida to New England and even
into Canada. The people are
learning something about the
beauties of their country first
hand, and better than this, they
are learning something about their
fellow countrymen.
Secretary of Agriculture Jar-
dine recently stated: "Communi
cation is a great equalizer." As
the people in the East go West
and the people from the West
drive East, as the southerners
whiz north and the northerners
glide south over the perfect sys
tem of roads that is rapidly being
completed over the country, they
are learning that most Americans
are pretty much the same; that a
New Englander and a southerner.
a Hoosier and an Oregonian are
a creat deal alike under the sur
face, that all have the same emo
tions, the same good points, and
the same (let us hope) very few
weaknesses.
In short, we are rapidly leaving
the localized stage and becoming
actually Americanized. Hard sur
faced roads are bringing this con
dition about and if they break
down sectional prejudices and ce
ment us into one American com
munity they will be worth all that
they may cost, and ten times over.
Reckless Drivers Cause
Death Toll.
TiHAT the negligent and care
less driver, and not the automo
bile, is responsible for the toll of
death at railroad crossings, is the
finding of S. T. Bledsoe, General
Counsel of the Santa Fe, who bas
es his conclusions upon exhaus
tive reports gathered from every
possible angle.
It is shown that in a year 2268
non-trespassers were killed and
6314 were injured. Automobiles
were involved in 84 per cent of
these accidents.
That the railroads are spend
ing immense sums to protect life
and property is shown by the' fact
that nearly 1,000 railway high
way crossings were removed in
1923. although at the same rime
2500 were installed, largely in
obedience to public authority. The
removal of the grade crossings in
the one year, the official states,
cost the railroads $75,000,000. In
a startling statement. Counsel
Bledsoe says it would cost almost
as much to remove all the grade
crossings on railroads in this coun
try as it cost to build the lines.
Railroad crossings having the
greatest traffic density are protect
ed by crossing signs, bells, gates,
flagmen and by the ringing of lo
comotive bell and sounding of
whistles.
"A roalroad track and a rail
road crossing are danger signals,"
says the statement. '"One New
England railroad having only 230
crossing gates had 390 such gates
demolished by automobiles crash
ing through them in front of ap
proaching trains, in 1923. One
Ohio railroad had twenty colli
sions between its trains and autos
in one year, where the crossings
were protected by bells that in
each case were ringing."
DIPHTHERIA.
From State Board of Health.
What symptoms should lead you to
suspect that a chlid has diphtheria?
Diphtheria may be like a severe sore
throat with small or large gray or
white patches. These patches may ap
pear not only on the tonsils, but also
on the soft palate. A membrane on
the soft palate is almost certainly
diphtheria. With such a sore throat
the person usually feels sick. Not
only does the throat hurt, but there
i tjun'!y wekn in the back, neck
and Muscles generally. The glands
ef the neck may be quite larfre and
feel painful he touched. The pa
tient may he feverish and delirious,
though the fever may not be high.
What causes diphtheria? The Klebs
Loeffler or diphtheria bacillus.
How is it spread? By contact with
the infected person or with articles
which may have been contaminated
by discharges from his nose and
throat, or by contact with a diph
theria carrier.
In what part of the body is the
disease located? In the nose and
throat, but the poison- generated is
absorbed into the body causing degen
eration of muscular tissue, heart dis
ease and paralysis. Membranous
croup is a form of diphtheria involv
ing the larynx.
At what age is diphtheria most
likely to occur? In children under
ten. More than 80 of the deaths
occur between the ages of one and
five.
- Is everyone susceptible to diph
theria? No, some people possess a
natural immunity. Practically all
children between the ages of six
months and two years are suscepti
ble. Is there a way to tell whether a
person is immune or not? Yes, a sim
ple skin test called the Schick test
will determine definitely whether or
not a person is immune.
Can susceptible persons be rendered
immune? Yes, by three injections of
toxin-antitoxin.
When a person contracts diphtheria,
what should be done? Antitoxin
should be given immediately even be
fore the diagnosis is certain. It can
do no harm and it may save a life.
Every person who has come in con
tact with the sick person should be
given a prospective dose of antitoxin.
What is the difference between an
titoxin and toxin-antitoxin? Anti
toxin is given to persons ill with
diphtheria and to those who come in
contact with them. It gives imme
diate immunity for a short time only.
Toxin-antitoxin is a mixture ofliph
theria toxin and antitoxin given to
the well person to protect him against
diphtheria. Its action is slower, but
when complete the individual is im
mune probably for life.
Why are cultures taken from the
throats of children at the opening
of school and during epidemics? Be
cause this locates the diphtheria car
riers. One percent of school children
are carriers. They spread the dis
sease and should be immediately iso
lated, as -they are a menace to the
school.
STRICTER TRAFFIC
CONTROL URGED
Irrigon Correspondent Favors
Laws Carrying More Strin
gent Penalties.
Irrigon, Oregon, Oct. 12, 1925.
To the Editor:
Shall our highways be made a place
of safety, or continue to be death
traps?
The time is at hand when we must
have laws and law enforcement that
will protect life and property on our
highways. Death and injury are
mounting by leaps ar.d bounds, and
our laws are by no means keeping
puce or such would not bo the case.
Every year more men, women and
children are recklcscly killed, injur
ed or crippled for life. The record
shows that these casualties are even
greater than was the of life to
the nation in the World war, yet but
little attention is apparo.tly given
to it. Every thoughtful citizen 3houjd
cry out against this condition with
such force as to bring rcilef froin
this useless waste of life.
A few simple laws should be all
that are necessary to make traveling
on our highways safe and secure, and
I suggest the following:
Every car periodically inspscted as
to the proper working of its brakes
and mechanical fitness for operation.
Every car supplied with a governor
control of 30 miles per hour, and
periodically inspected.
Why pass laws regulating speed
limit to 30 or 35 miles and allow
cars on the road that can make 80 or
90 miles. We understand human na
ture well enough to know that a law
of that kind will not' be obeyed, neith
er can it be enforced with any suc
cess. Every curve should be plainly
marked with a white center line and
any driver of a car driving over this
line while passing another should be
subject to a heavy fine combined with
a jail sentence and the confiscation
of his car. -Further, no one should
be allowed to drive a car unless un
der bond to pay all damage incurred
by reason of accident, thus keeping
the road clear of irresponsible driv
ers. A liberal reward, say half the
fine, hould be paid to any pnrty fur-
nishing evidence leading to arrest And
conviction of a highway law breaker.
The other half of the fine, under the
apparent present rate of law viola
tion on the highways would be suf
ficient to maintain tho roads, assist
in building new ones, and thus reduce
taxation.
Why wait before the curve-passing
driver kills or maims some one before
he is fined? It is only because the
gun is not loaded that nobody gets
hurt. Speed cops should watch the
curves. The speed maniac on the
straight stretch of highway is not
apt to hurt any one but himselfr
In traveling on the Columbia high
way a distance of forty miles, in a
ear making twenty-five miles per
hour I was passed by cars three times
when serious accidents would have
occurred had another car been com
ing on the other side of the curve.
Are we to continue to be heavily
taxed to maintain high ways that are
little less than public death traps to
ourselves and little ones. Civilization
cannot progress over the dead and
man pled bodies of its citizens or by
the highway of grief and sorrow. Let
our legislators Visit the Hospitals and
view the victims of highway acci
dents; see the wounded and dying
and witness the suffering caused by
reckless and incompetent drivers.
They would surely spend some of
their time after that in the promo
tion of more stringent laws for the
making of our highways safe for
travel. If we can't control this war
like destruction of life in no other
way we might at least tear up or
leave to decay our highways and pro
hibit the manufacture of automobiles.
The wholesale destruction should be
stopped.
