VKl ' , Advertising Standardizes Products Advertising Is . t Genuine Economy "You can buy almost anything over the telephone nowadays," said Nathan Eckstein, president of Schwa bacher Bros. & company of Seattle, in addressing the Washington State Tress association annual meeting in Spokane August 22. "When you use the telephone to order a definite brand or article, you know exactly what you want and you obtain what you order. The time of the purchaser and of the merchant and his clerks is saved. The store space required for the accommodation of people moving in and out or tarrying on the floor is reduced. The room needed for display and for stock is diminished. The space which must be lighted and heated is less. There is a saving all around." Mr. Eckstein referred to the use of the telephone in buying in order to illustrate the point he was making to the newspaper publishers. He maintained that advertis ing justifies itself when it promotes and facilitates sales, shortens the time in making purchases, promotes quick turnovers and thus reduces the volume of capital and the size of stocks that are tied up. Advertising legitimately and intelligently done is a tax on no one, said Mr. Eckstein, for the reason that it proves a genuine economy in the scheme of modern business- Unless advertising performs that function "for which nobody pays because it produces a real saving," then he maintained that it is wasteful and unjustified. Always Guilty Noth'ng To Condone About Bootlegging At Vinton, Iowa, is a commentary on moonshine. It is, or was, Mrs. C. B. Cook. She is dead. , Mrs. Cook was president of the -Benton county, Iowa, W. C. T. U. Once before, so vigorous was her crusade against the bootlegger? that her house was spattered with spoiled eggs. This time she sat writing an address in behalf of law enforcement. A shot, fired through the window, lodged below her heart. She died an hour later, leaving no evidence against her murderer. But Vinton is outraged. In the minds of Vinton citi zens the murderer is already tracked and finger-printed. They hold bootleg booze responsible. They attach guilt to the agents of a lawless traffic. After all, there i.i nothing to condone about moon-shining- There is death in the bottle and murder in the heart of it. It is always guilty. Oregon Journal. o The federal law should also be amended in the in terest of American business and agriculture by reducing federal estate taxes on all property on which the income is now subject to federal taxation, and by leaving the federal estate tax on tax-free securities to stand higher than on those subject to federal income tax. o To theman who finds fault with the wonderful weather southwestern Oregon enjoys and compares it unfavorably to California weather, we can only suggest that highways, railroads and steamship lines are still op crating to the south. Coquille Valley Sentinel. o New York police believe that a war is impending be tween two rival gangs of gunmen. Perhaps the best thing the police can do in the public's interest is to clear the streets and let the war go on until both gangs are exter minated. Philadelphia Bulletin. o One can't help but notice that the firms which pay the biggest income taxes are those which sell the lowest priced articles, such as candy bars, chewing gum, five and ten cent novelties, unci Ford automobiles. The Dalles Chronicle. - Up in Washington the state general fund has a sur plus of ?4,360,258.53. If the politicians hear of it, there will be a special session of the ligislature sure. Eugene Register. One reason why the American dollar buys less is be cause it has so much more to buy. Dinner Stories One Sunday rooming a certain young pastor In his firm char kg announced nervously: "I will lako for my text the words: 'And they fed fire men with five thousand loaves of bread and two thousand fishes.' " At this misquotation an old par lshoner from his seat in the amen corner said audibly "I could do it myself." The young preacher said noth ing at the time, but the next Sun day he announced the same text again. This time he got it right: "And they fed five thousand men on five loaves of bread and two fishes." He waited a moment, and then, leaning over the pulpit and look ing at the amen corner ho said: "And could you do thai, loo, Mr. Smith?" "Of course I could," Mr. Smith replied. "And how would you do It?' said the preacher. "With what was left over from last Sunday," said Mr. Smith. A private soldier had had pneu monia, and had been for some time in a hospital where he had been so well treated that he was much averse to the prospect of being discharged as "cured." One day the doctor was taking his tem perature, and while Tommy had the the thermometer In his mouth the doctor moved on to tho next bod and turned his hack to the first patient. Tommy saw his chance. fe pulled the thermometer out of his mouth and popped It into a cup of hot tea, replacing It, however, the moment ho saw the doctor begin to turn back to his bed. When tho physician examined the ther mometer, ho looked flrHt at Tom my and then back to tho thcrmom otor, and gasped: "Well, my man, you're not (load, but you ought to be." A one-armed man entered a restaurant at noon and seated hlin solf next to a dapper littlo othor-people's-buslness man.

I III I I, I Hll.llltKN .M.kK MOTH, l it MAIlTVIt In all history there are no mar tyrs that rapture the heart as do in.il hers like this one: Dear Mrs, Thompson: I am overburdened with responsibility. While my husband was able to work, also myself, I could mnkn ends meet, but now that he la not able In do much we are running In debt. Wo gel dunning letters in most every mall. We have a son 3i years old whu pays fa -week, and also a nephew whom we reared. He also pays fit a week, and two d n UK liters who make fair wages, but spend most of tlmlr money on clothes, The oldoest girl has been married and la SO years old. She bnsaees us all and wants everything her own way. I have nothing to say since she left her husband and rams home. She thinks she need not help make ex penses. Thoy are largre than our Income from these two boys. We pay rent and they aro lietvy raters and our storo bill ulon; mora than all of them pay. I am ashamed to face my creditors. I am a woman who has always worked hard and away from home to help out. I am 65 years old and my husband Is 66. Ills heart Is poor. I am very fired. I could keep myself and husbandi but I can't work for so many and not have a cent of the money for my self. I think these children nre able to lake rare of themselves, but they will not leave our roof. If 1 say a word shout them going out and let us take earn of our selves they say: "Oh. yes, you want to chaso as out." and a lot of other words Ihut hurt. Hut I am sure wo can't keep up tho way It la now. What 'ran I do? I have washed over the tub and scrubbed on my knees to keep a renf over these children, as their father only made small wanes. I do not enjoy home any mure. Af ter my daughter left her husband she came home to hosa mo and everybody elae. she nags me If a '-'."..rtiW .raslui ,h" WW, b. ' "boasl.
