WT1ER EVER good roads are constructed they increase
tlie value of adjacent farm property, just as paved
streets increase tlie value of city property.
A farm or homestead that is not accessible by a good
road in all kinds of weather is not an attractive proposition
to the prospective purchaser, who realizes not only the in
convenience poor roads entail, but the increased cost of
transporting his produce to markets,
No one thing will aid more in the development and
settlement of Jackson county than a system of good high
ways. At is early a date as possible the county should vote
bonds for the construction of such a system, the proceeds
to be devoted to needed highways. The interest on bonds
will entail no greater annual expenditure than is now spent
on road construction.,
Jackson county should co-operate in the effort to se
cure state aided highways, but these roads should be trunk
lines, extending through the county. The proposed bill
to bo introduced in the legislature by Judge Webster for
state aided highways is defective in that the state only
supplies a small percentage of the funds, a very small sum
for each county, which would be of no material assistance.
The state should spend dollar for dollar with the county
on these trunk lines.
Jackson county should also abet the effort to use state
prisoners on highway construction, and the first road so
built should be the Crater Lake highway. This is prop
erly n state highway, of benefit to the entire state, and it
should be the first road upon which to try the experiment
of convijufc labor.

tive stores, or of the hysterical, misleading and "stam
peding'' style of advertisements resorted to bv the irre
sponsible stores. In neither care was advertising impor
tant to tho housewife, nor of the nature of "service" to
her in planning her purchases.
Within the three decades just past advertising has
evolved from these olden conditions into its present status
of store-service. No worth-while store would now think
of omitting it, or of limiting it too much in the scopo of its--usefulness.
U would be as wise to trv to do business in
quarters wholly inadequate or with no delivery system,
nor clerks. For the advertising is as much a part of store
service as any other phase of store-keeping.
AVomen have learned, and are learning, that only stores
that are adequately advertised are able to give real values-
are able to compete in value-giving with other stores
that advertise. The store that does not advertise is :
considered at all except as a more neighborhood shop,
which we are driven by necessitv sometimes alwavs
our loss.
Women are learning that the advertised store, sellini:
great quantities of goods, is able to sell them at a mud
smaller per-sale profit than the unadvertised store, whirl1
must make its profits from a small number of sales. This
truth makes store-advertising of real importance to even
woman to every buyer.
