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.

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.

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. The lot-
ter at once noticed his ncii;Mur'H
left sleeve hungln? bm.e and kept

his position a little, cleared his
throat, and said: "I beg pardi.n,

The one-armed man pifk"l tip
his sleeve with his right hati'l and
peered anxiously into it. "Illess
my soul!" he exclaimed, looking
up with great mrprbe. "I do
believe you're ricllt."

In all history there are no mar

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
