4 / Tillamoolc Headlight, August IQ, lOlß. State Press Flashlights. Mrs. Martha Martin left Saturday afternoon with her son Joe Martin and family, for Tillamook for an ex tended visit. Mr. Martin will make Ins future home in Tillamook.—Yam hill Record. ___ °____ The auto driver who "hogs” all the road for miles and refuses to let any one pass him has no cause to com plain when somebody else takes the ditch, drives »round hint and then make's him eat dust for miles. A little courtesy would have saved him a dust bath if he hud only appreciated that fact.—Polk County Observer. Much complaint is heard from those traveling on the roads oiled in Yamhill coilnty that they were not oiled soon enough. The result has be. n that instead of there being a good glazed surface, completely hold ing the dust in check, there is now dust that is oily. This makes it much dirtier and of course more disagree able.—Sheridan Sun. Capt. Jackson, of the Newport, says from his ticked records he finds that the arrivals for the summer are 6,000 short of last year up to August 1st. This is a difference that has been very noticeable, but we are, from all reports, getting the lion’s share even at that, as other summer resorts are falling far below this average.—New port Review. The Oregon Voter has an illustra tion showing how school districts are sometimes organized to make the timber holders bear their share of the burden. It cites the case of the city of Tillamook and goes to show how a narrow connecting link is used to connect the timber belt with the dis trict. We see nothing unfair about such a transaction as the timber bar ons ought to pay their just part of the taxes.—Willamina Times. According to the Dry Goods Econ omist, America, “boots sold to the French government proved to be of such inferior quality that the soldiers tore them into strips, and 200,000 pairs of socks, purchased of Ameri can mills, were found to be 30 per cent wool and 70 per cent cotton, in stead of the mixture being the other way around.” If American war ma terials have been equally base, Ger many needn’t feel so bad that she got none of it.—Telephone Register. A young married woman was gagg ed, bound and ravished by two hobos over in Lincoln county last week. The hobos were caught and sentenc ed to life imprisonment. Such das tardly crimes have been recorded in Oregon before, yet withal capital punishment was abolished, but now with this fresh piece of beastiality staring them in the face newspapers that fought against capital punish ment indignantly say, “Hanging is too good for such beasts.” Oh, in consistency, how you do play with the hearts of men!—Sheridan Sun. Down at Roseburg the citizens are so incensed at a dozen or so knock ers who are trying to block the saw mill and railroad project, that they arc going to resort to the boycott as a means of eliminating such people from the business affairs of the city. If innocent people arc not effected by such a course it is the proper thing to do. Men who stand in the way of either the material or moral progress of a town or community have no ligitimate right of any o’ the benefits that come to such a munici pality nor the protection of the law which they openly defy. May this movement started at Roseburg spread to other points. The knocker and the law defyer should be run out of business.—Myrtle Creek Mail. ------ o—-— The annual statement of receipts and shipments at the Portland Union Stock yards discloses the interesting fact that during the year ending July 31,>915, 6,442 more hogs were receiv ed than during the year ending July 3< 1914. This fact of course, might be interpreted in two ways. It might mean either that more hogs arc be ing produced in the Northwest than before or that farmers are selling their stock down more closely. It is probable, however, that it indicates the production of more hogs, for the average weight for 1914 was 199 pounds while for 1915 it is 190 pounds A decrease in the average weight hardly indicates heavy selling of brood stock. It is to be hoped that this is the construction to be placed upon the figures, for a decrease in the number of hogs on Oregon farms could not be regarded other than a calamity.—Oregon Register. There is no just complaint to be made regarding the requirement that only registered pharmacists dispense drugs, that is a safeguard for public good, but in some respects it dis criminates against the country drug gist. It is a rare country drug store that will justify two registered drug gists. If only one is employed the law will not permit an ordinary clerk to sell even brush or pencil to customer during the absence of the druggist from the building. The store must be locked to customers every time he steps out. Nor is a doctor, unless he be a registered druggist, permitted to fill his pcrscription within the drug store in the presence of his patient, during the absence of the druggist. This phase of the law is manifestly unjust „and the county druggist and his patrons should work together to have this objectional feature reme died.—Nehalem Times. Roseburg, like many other com munities, has been overrun with gift schemes, trading checks, voting con tests and numerous other devices to a’s-vet patronage bv different mer chants and combination of merchant«. We have seen most of them flourish awhile, then drop or die or be dis continued because of the fact cust omers lost* interest and would no longer ask for them, and the givers thtiusel,,} see but little advan- tage for themselves in the continued giving them out. The latest ot these widely heraided associations to go under and admit its inability to keep its promises is the American Script I Company, which offered for an in ducement for business, to give one mile ill travel for one dollar in re- turned coupons. 1 his company operat ed in Roseburg and advertised in the columns of The News to the extent ol S10.20, during the time it was in existance here. Upon a statement of this account being rendered for pay ment to the general office at Los Angeles, a long copy of a typewritten ; letter was received through which I with many a "whereas, therefore and resolved, ' the point was brought out that the company was bankrupt, and I it we desired to accept 35 per cent of the a nount of the bill in settlement in full, we should indorse the inclosed certified one, and the old adage of ‘a bird in the hand, etc." still hoids good the account was liquidated on this basis. It is the opinion of »tie majority of the merchants of this ity that such methods of adveitising and trade attracting are through here, and many o f them admit that the same, or even less, amount to legiti mate advertising in the local newspa pers would have brought more re sults, with no comeback in com plaints from customers whose ex pectations were not realized.

When you have a score card you can t ke most of the measurements yourself and see how baby is progressing. Any one having a baby enrolled and failing to show up on July 31st may have the sesre card for future refer- ei ce if you wish. One lady has been having special treatment given the whole year with two of her children because they did not reach her idea of perfection last year. Thia year one thut score I low last year will be in the race, the highest score in her class. That mother will feel well paid, I am sure. While the child must be a better child for the special effort the mother has made. Improve the race, be pr jgressive in all lines, and above all in your children.

It made no difference to this person that the scandal effected the daughter of his neighbor—that the mother of the girl was seriously ill— that the brother was just entering a successful professional career. The scandal was rich in flavor, and he wanted to see it in the paper. He told the editor about it, with every evi dence of the keen relish of the scan dal connoisseur, but impressed upon the newspaper man that the source of his information must be kept inviol ably secret. W hen the paper came out the man returned to demand why the story hadn’t been published. Short sharp words followed and the visitor called the editor a coward and left, vowing that a man who was afraid to print the news had no right to be an editor. To our mind the editor was a brave man. The informer who de manded that his name be kept secret, was the coward. The editor ran a pa- per in a small town. So closely rclat- ed were the lives ■ of the inhabitants, that the editor new every detail of the story before his visitor called on him. But he could see no profit ;or himself nor glory for |iis paper ii. I printing an item that would bring sorrow to the gray hairs of a father, disgrace to a brother and probabiv serious consequences to a sick moth er. If the news appetite of his readers were so voracious, he thought as 'o demand this costly food, he would 1 refuse to pay the price. The editor was right. Many things he has to print which he would rather leave un said, but the scandal which has only its "spice” to recommend it should have no place in the columns of a self-respecting newspaper. We would rather build than tear down. We would rather print the things that help and encourage and uplift thin to hold up the mistakes of some un- fortunate to the scorne of contempt of his neighbors. Dcccnsy is not lack of courage. If it were, we would rather be decent than courageous.— Ione Journal. Fair Note:;, School Department.
