He lent considerable color to a successful field day at the experi ment station. Always at the cen ter of the forefront, the governor filled his role well. Whenever there was a picture to be taken he doffed his hat and assumed a real gubernatorial pose. His speech, last on the program, was none the less gripping. Being the same, except for a few flowers plucked for the occasion, that we heard him deliver in Heppner some months before, it had lost consid erable of its kick for us. Never theless, his audience received him well. His propensity for quoting tax figures at a rapid rate is simp ly amazing quite dumfounding to his audience, in fact. Later in the evening we heard a professor, also on the program, compliment Mr. Pierce very highly. Though remarking on his apparent sincer ity, the professor who had heard Champ Clark, Bill Read and W. J. Bryan often in their palmy days, said that none of these was the governor's superior in stump psy-' etiology. He placed Read and' Bryan as being more polished or ators, but said Pierce was easily Clark's equal in every respect. The Dairy Cow in Morrow County. THE condition of the hay and grain market the past few years, as well as the shortage in grain production, has caused many Eastern Oregon farmers to seek new means of producing rev enue. Many have turned to the rtflirv muz Fnr enlvflrinn psnpoifll- 1 " , -r ly in the north end of Morrow and Umatilla counties on the irriga tion projects. Now, after a few years' trial, there is a certain amount of ' indecision as to the wisdom of this move, because of the short returns that some have experienced. Prof. P. M. Brandt, dairy spec ialist of the Oregon Agricultural college, declared at Hermiston the other day that dairying could be made to pay good returns in that section. But not until the dairy men know exactly what they are doing. For the purpose of help ing the dairymen in this regard he was present at a Hermiston meeting to help start organization of a cow testing association. Taking government figures for IkFrank Crane Says THE SHOW GOES ON SOME time ago a trapeze actress in the circus fell a distance of thirty feet from her trapeze to the floor. There was no net or other device to break her fall and she sustained a fracture of the arm and possible internal injuries. The accident happened in the middle of the trapeze act in which she and other members of her family were performing. She lost her footing and fell. Confusion reigned for a few moments. Women and chil dren screamed and men rushed about for aid. Soon an animal act was rushed into the arena and the show went on. The show always must go on. Any one of us may disappear; a brick may fall on him or an automobile truck run over him, and it is as if one threw a pebble into the pool. There is a little confusion, a few waves circle about the place, and soon all is as quiet as before. Some old men remember when Lincoln was assassinated. Those not so old remember the assassination of Garfield and McKinly. Those things were so terrible that they thought the world would stop. They were amazed to see that everything went on as usual. None of use would be missed. One may drop out of his place in society, a few friends will mourn him, a few will no tice his absence, and it will cause temporary sadness. But in a little while he is forgotten. Where are the snows of yesteryear? Where are the beau tiful women like Helen of Troy that once disturbed the past? Where are the heroes, the mighty men of old, that once be strode the world? " The great as well as the small must go down, and life flows on. The life of the community is like a resistless tide. Nothing can impede its prorgess. However cataclysmic the calamities that disturb it, they are soon swallowed up in the progress of events. One of the poems which was a favorite with Abraham Lincoln must come to mind: "O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" "NEWS and PROGRESS" No. ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE AND SERVICE OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING From latest volume in Manhattan Library of Popular Economics, republished in serial form through courtesy of Bank of the Manhattan Company, New York. SELLING SERVICE AND IDEALS IS the market place of the community the adver tising columns ot the newspaper do save time tor the shopper; they do lower prices to the buyer ; they do insure larger income to the merchant. Yet significant as these services are, they yield even ereater values which, while ultimately so cial in their outcome, are founded basis. For example, if America has become a nation of home-owners, it is due in large measure to the persistence with which the desire for home ownership has been stimulated through newspaper advertising. It was only a few years ago that the real estate business moved slowly along in a succession of individual transactions, until dealers awakened to the possibility of making their offerings known simultaneously to mul titudes. A man with property to sell might rub elbows with several possible customers in the course of ten minutes' walk, but without occult powers, how was he to know that impulses toward ownership were present in their minds? He could not buttonhole them one after another, for busy modern life does not permit it. But finally the real estate merchant the realtor, as he is now called awakened to the fact that all these unlabeled passersby were alike in one important respect they were newspaper readers. At first timidly and then more boldly he ventured into the market place of the community and took his stand. And immediately those who had homes to sell came into personal contact with homes to buy. Whether for purchase or renting, whether for a home or Bank ot the Manhattan Co., N. 5. business, or ultimately for larger operation, a new interest was In banking as in other fields the news and aroused so that today newspapers devote substantial space to all advertising columns have worked a magic , t i , . . , i transformation pnases oi real estate, uoui in uicir news anu TkifnH bb'.A tntn ivn.rt!,nfinrr ma. terially to tile development of what has come to be one of the important business activities of every community, the news paper has likewise given tremendous im petus to one oi tne great staomzing innu ences in American social life home own ershiD. Similarly, in the field of banking and in the promotion of individual thrift the advertising and news columns of the American newspaper have worked a magic transformation. Compare the atmos rmere of the average bank today with that of a quarter of a century ago. before the banker had come to realize that the newspaper was a market place not merely for the products of agriculture, commerce and industry, but for service, ideas, good will and other intangible factors which in fluence the activities and promote the ma terial welfare of the individual and the community as a whole. When the banker emerged from the old- time seclusion of his private office and en tered the market place of the community his statement he cited conditions as they have been existing on the project. In 1925 there were 1700 milking cows on the project that gave an average return of 170 pounds of milk for the year. This is below the state average, he de clared, and hardly more than enough return to meet operating expenses under favorable condi tions. In contrast to project con ditions he cited instances in Ore gon where cow testing associations with many more cows, on much higher priced land, and less rough age, were securing per cow aver ages from 300 to 360 pounds a year. Dairying, he pointed out, must of necessity be conducted on a small margin, and unless the dairyman knows exactly what ev ery cow in his herd is doing, that every cow is a producer he may be losing money. It is the purpose of the cow testing asso ciation to keep its members in formed of the actions of every en listed cow. Some of the main points to be considered in conducting a dairy herd profitably are herd selection and elimination of the parasites upon a firm economic those who were looking for cuhuum luiuuuu. as a merchandiser of service he made self accessible to the smallest depositor, The attitude of the public toward the bank has undergone a similar change. The old feeling that the bank was an exclusive tnstituuon for the favored few disap peared when advertising brought to the Dublic a new understanding of its service. Today, more than forty million savings bank depositors alone testify not only to this change in attitude toward the bank but also to the amazing growth of the thrift and savings idea. Ihese savings, in turn, are producing far-reaching economic results, flowing as they do in all directions, stimulating industry, building homes and promoting the prosperity ot the commu nity and the country in a thousand ways. The public utility field offers still an other striking example of how the news paper as the market place of the commu nity has been utilized not only to sell goods and service, but to promote popular understanding and good-will. There are few, if any industries, unless .giculture (those that are eating up the profits through low production) ; feeding, that can be done intelli gently only by use of accurate rec ords; efficient uses of hired help, and efficient breeding to sires of known quality. Though pure bred cows are an adjunct to build ing a good herd, Professor Brandt declared, they are not as import ant as thoroughbred sires. Often times a low producing cow may have good producing off-spring through breeding to a high quality sire. What Professor Brandt told North End dairymen is equally ap. plicable to dairymen in other sec tions of the county. Wherever plenty of cheap feed is obtainable the dairy cow can be made profit able through scientific handling. But those dairymen who are us ing slip-shod methods might well ! investigate the points cited by the : professor. The extension service of the Oregon Agricultural college' is for the purpose of helping, build up Oregon agriculture and it is ready to help at all times by furnishing information requned. Let's make dairying pay in Mor row county. Steiwer or Stanfield. OREGON WOOLGROWER. OREGON woolgrowers are pri marily interested in the re tention of a Republican Senator to represent the state in Congress. Many of them supported Stanfield in the primaries, believing that, with his experience of the past six years, his committee assign ments and his first hand know ledge of our business, he was en titled to our support. But, when the result of the pri mary election showed that Fred Steiwer had won the nomination for U. S. Senator on the Repub. lican ticket, the officers of the as sociation pledged him their sup port in his campaign, and so far have seen no reason to withdraw that promise. About the only thing that Stanfield will do, will be to di vide the Republican party suffi ciently to secure Haney's elec tion. With but a small majority of Republicans in the Senate, this is almost a calamity, as the tar iff question is coming to the fore in the next congress and any changes which are sought are not to the benefit of the growers. "Bob" should have listened to his Republican friends, not to his Democratic enemies, before mak ing his decision. Retention of a Republican ma jority in the upper house should be our aim. Steiwer is the regu larly nominated Republican candi date, and should get our assist ance. See ua before you build. Our prices are right.

It has been estimated that newspaper advertising has shortened by one-half the process of selling the services of such utilities. But this is only half the story. As in the case of banks, and aside from the sale of products, there has come a complete transformation in the attitude of the pub lic utilities toward the public and in that of the public toward them. In many other ways does this inclusive market place minister to the needs and de sires of its users. One has only to glance at the columns which contain the announce ments of the theatres, the churches, the schools and colleges, the steamship lines and railroads, or the classified want adver tisements to realize how various and vast are the services, ideas and ideals which are presented in them alone. (Ntx a'tidt "Serving tht Community ") Mr. Patterson Replies. rpHE following letier has been J. released tor publication by I. L. Patterson, republican nominee for governor. It was written to Gov. ernor Pierce in reply to his chal lenge to Mr. Patterson for a dis cussion of five allegedly leading issues of the November election The letter follows: Hon. Walter M. Pierce, Salem, Oregon. My dear Governor: Replying to your invitation for a discussion of certain state issues, to the end that the people may know where we both stand, you name what you consider the five leading issues: "reduction and redistribution of tax es; making the Oregon penitentiary self-sustaining; highways; law en forcement, and irrigation." I take pleasure in referring you to my platform issued some time prior to the primary election, May 2J. Your invitation for discussion leads me to believe you have not read my statement. If you had, there could be no reason for discussion, as ail points you make save only irriga tion are covered in plain, frank state ments on each subject. Synopsis of statement follows: Reduce taxes by reducing cost of Government. Every dollar in taxes paid to re turn the taxpayer a dollar in service. Make Governor budget-making of- Thomson Brothers flcial. Receipts from Government land less expenses belong to the people of Oro gon. Place penitentiary under Board of Control. Make Board of Control the Parole Board. Fewer pardons. Enforcement of prohibition by offi cials who believe in enforcing the law. Hasten construction of Roosevelt Highway. Conservative road construction, ad just automobile licenses; oppose peddlers' license applying to travel ing salesmen. Adequate provision for retiring bonds. Issue no tax free bonds. Fish and Game Commission func tion for people and not as political machnies. Play fair with ex-service men. Maintain high standard of public schools and institutions of higher learning. The irrigation question in Oregon is not a political one, and the solu tion of the problem will require care ful, intelligent and sindere study and action to the end that the farm ers on the irrigation projects may not be penalized for their industry, con ftdence in the stato end show of good faith. We should see that the farmers now on irrigated lands who have shown their good faith are fully pro tected. Those farmers who are mak ing or have made good their obliga tions to the irrigation districts and vho are contributing to the produc tivity of the state, should be given the benefit of every possible means of protection. In some of the irrigation districts many of the settlers have suffered undue hardships and dire misfortune, due to improper organization of dis tricts and to the activities of unscrup ulous speculators. Tho next legisla ture should, in so far as possible, pro vide for the reorganization and res toration of the unsuccessful districts. However, the taxpayers of the state, outside the irrigation districts, are not responsible for the unfortunate conditions that exist and must not be called upon to pay more interest on bonds, other than those for which the state is already obligated, or to make good the losses.
