He Got Some Votes.
WE SAW Governor Pierce at
Hermiston the other day.
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.

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?"

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

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

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.

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. Heppner Box A

him-lmay be so classified, in which the ausre-
gate capital employed exceeds that of the
five important utilities which supply elec
tricity, gas, water, street railway and tele
phone service to the local communities of
the country. 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.

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.
Respectfully yours,
I. L. PATTERSON.
