Tillamook Headlight. August 12, ELAND H. ERWIN, J States Press Flashlight. The loss of money to the farmers and traveling public because of poor road conditions would be more than sufficient to build a Pacific Highway through every county. How long will the people stand for tinkering roads, instead of building permanent ones? —News ‘1 imes. 1 I •1 he Carnegie Hero Fund has just made awards for 52 deeds of daring, Lut the list does not contain the name of the man who tried to keep his iactory running on full time under the Underwood Tariff Law.—Spray Courier. The probe of the Eastland disaster has made conspicuous the glaring fault of our loose government. In competent officials, lack of respect tor the law, its non-inforcement care lessness—all combined to make one of the worst tragedies in these days of death and destruction. The shift lessness of the government is reflect ed in its agents and employes. It is too tolerant. There should be a turn. — News Reporter. 4 • While we have the greatest respect for the legal opinions of the justice’s of the various courts, from the circuit to state supreme and thence upto the national supreme tribunal, it does not alway. hold good that their business opinions expressed off the bench are as sound. We all of us are acquainted with judges somewhere whose unwise business opinions have wrecked many a good proposition.—Umpqua Valley news. . The protection of America^ indus tries afforded by the European war is well illustrated in the report of the Department of Labor, recently made public, on foreign food prices as af fected by the war—bulletin No. 170. The report shows that administrative and legislative measures to check the rise in the cost of necessities were very generally taken. Denmark, Egypt, Great Britian, Italy, Russia, Spain, and Turkey prohibited the ex port of practically all food stuffs. France, Norway, and Sweden listed certain articles which must not be exported, and Holland placed an em bargo on butter and cheese. The em bargo placed by Great Britian on Australian exports of fresh meats to the United States destroyed the hopes of an organized attempt on the part of meat producers in that coun try to take advantage of the Under wood free trade provision on fresh meats. As an exporter, Germany practically ceased to exist as soon as the blockade became effective.

I it I I I The highway editor of the Evening Telegram is going to have the official Columbia highway party cutting fig ure eights pretty well over the whole Pacific coast portion of the state of Oregon in its trip from Portland to Gearhart on the twelfth. He says: En routs the tourists will pass throu Linton, St. Helens, Banks, Vernonia, -Mist, Jews, Seaside, Nehalem, Bay City, Tillamook, Rainier, Gobi , Clatskanie, Westport, Astoria and Gearheart.” We don't wish those autoists any hard luck in traversing that short cut from Tillamook to Rainier but we’er dubious about it.

'I he average Western town depends upon the agricultural recources of the the country in its immediate vi cinity for its support. It is but little more than a local trading point. It has no jobbing houses, no manufac turing with which to bring money in to the community from a large trade territory. Such a town would soon be come a deserted village were the stores to close their doors and quit business. Every cent of every dollar sent to the mail order houses of the the great trade centers if forever lost to the comunity froth which it comes; going into channels that carry far and away from the locality where its equivilent in wealth from siol was created. If in many instances money was saved by sending away for goods that can be bought at home, there would not be so much room for criticism. So often the item of freight is not considered. Quality is not so careful ly taken into account as it should be. Service is not given its due credit. You must know the weights and freight rates to make a true estimate of costs. You must be a good judge of all sorts of merchandise to be able to make dependable comparisons of quality. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof," and so the proof of a great deal of merchandise is in its wearing quality. Many a fine looking piece of furniture is a shoddy piece of goods. When you send away for anything you pay in advance. Yo go to the depot for the shipment and do your own hauling. You cannot make an immediate exchange if the goods are unsatisfactory. You cannot telephone the last minute for something you have forgotten. 1 am now talking about service. A safe plan is to buy of dealers at home, in whom you can place confidence. Are you giving your town moral and financial support. “If America discourages the town, she will kill the nation.” Good Advice. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a contributor w rites an inter- estering and practically helpful arti cle, full of sound advice to farmers, on the subject of the purchase of farm machinery. He takes up the guarantees which many manufactur ers give with their goods. Some say that such guarantees are of no value and others say that they really pro tect the purchaser. The following general comment on the subject of guarantees is taken from the article: "It's a good plan in reading a guar antee to see whether it fully covers all points in which you want protec tion. Some guarantees sound convinc ing but really promise very little. If you want a free trial or shipment on approval, you can sometimes get such a privilege by asking for it. But it is unwise to assume any more than is actually specified. Modern business is built up largely on guarantees. People do not like to trade with folks they cannot trust. That business is getting free from traps and hooks is due largely to guarantees, some of which assure you of satisfaction or your money back. Others promise long continued ser- vice and free repairs, while ___ still others give a free trial till you make up your mind W’hethcr you want to buy. 1 he idea is to help you get your full money's worth, and to make you feel safe in buying an article on which you are not fully posted but which you want if it suits you.

The following article taken from the Marshfield Record, contains many things which should appeal to com munities the size of Marshfield, Rose burg and others. There is no business enterprise in the city that gets as much abuse as the newspapers, and as little credit for the constant endeav ors they make for the advancement of their home city, and a great deal of this comes from sources which never give them any patronage. The Record says: “If a chamber of commerce is or ganized to boom a town, it finds that it is expensive work. Secretaries must be hired, office rent paid, supplies must be settled for in cash. People usually make no discount because the work is for the public cause. “Meanwhile the newspaper is booming the home town all the time, i and for the most of the services it renders it asks no pay. If its motives are not wholly unselfish, at the best it is only far sighted enough to ex pect its compensation in the added prosperity that comes to all enter- prize when a town grows. “In view of all this unpaid service it is fair to ask a reciprocal spirit on the part of its home community. This newspaper is not complaining of its support, which has been generous and friendly. It merely reminds its readers that when they pay down their money for subscription they not merely get their money’s worth in the form of news, but they are helping to support an agency that gives unpaid service all the time for the development of the community.” T BJALS, M.D., JJ ATTORNEY-AT LAW I Tillamook ....
