BIGGEST OREGON ADVERTIS ING PLAN EVERY ATTEMPTED Between now and the end of March the Pacific Northwest and par ticularly Oregon will be advertised as never before in the history of the state. Advices have just been receiv ed by the Publicity department of the Portland Chamber of Commerce from the Burlington, Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railway comp anies of the particulars of the cam paign that those three roads are put ting on in connection with the Ore gon month for March 1025. Full page advertisements will be carried in at least 20 magazines reaching the far mer and the men who lives in the country. Those publications have a circulation of seven million people or twentyone million readers. The mag azines to be used are as follows: Breeders’ Gazette, Country Gentle man, Semi-Weekly Globe- Democrat, National Stockman and Farmer, In diana Farmers’ Guide, Hoard's Dairy man, Iowa Homestead, Praisie Farm er, Weekly Star, Wallace’s Farmer, Wisconsin Agriculturist, Wisconsin Farmer, Capper’s Weekly, Dairy Farmer, Orange Judd-Farmer, Okla homa Farmer-Stockman, Successful Farming, Farm Journal, Farm and Fireside, Capper’s Farmer. This is practically only the begin ning of the campaign. For months a committee of the Chamber of Com merce of Portland, presided over by W. D. B. Dodson and consisting of representatives if the marketing, land settlement, industries and pub licity committees, and representa tives of the State Chamber of Com merce, has been busy discussing the plans with the railroad companies and an immense amount of work has been done by the publicity depart ment in the preparing of ideas, copy and general advertising material, results will be fully demonstrated in th« month of March when radio talks and illustrated lectures will be given all over the coast by representatives of the three companies and by pub lic men of Oregon. Window displays will be made in the railway offices. LABOR BANK GOOD Since the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers established the first labor bank in Cleveland, 29 ad ditional labor banks have been form ed, seven are in pocess of formation and preliminary organization steps have been taken for 60 more, accord ing to Frederick J. Haskin, in the El Paso Herald. When labor banks were first or ganized, it was predicted that their resources would be pooled and the banks would fight Capital as repre sented by the employers of labor. Persons said the labor banks would be used to finance strikes and other industrial controversies. As a matter of fact, nothing of the kind has happened. When a labor bank is opened it makes itself liable to its depositors to safeguard their money and return it to them when they ask for it. This being the case its officers and directors find that they have assumed a tremendous re sponsibility and that instead of air ing their own views or following their own hobbies, they must conduct their bank along well recognized business lines which safeguard their investments and deposit«. Nothing will so quickly destroy radical ideas in the labor world as the starting of labor banks and the assuming of business responsibilities by labor leaders. They soon find that a “labor” bank is not much different from a “capitalist” bank. Both banks are responsible to the law and the penitentiary waits fir the man who unlawfully jeopardizes the interest of depositors in either institution. Capital and labor are synonomous therms—one cannot exist without the other. A NEWSPAPER PEST Many things come up to try an editor’s soul and to make him wish that in his youth he had learned to carry a hod or drive a dray. But of all things he has to contend with nothing serves to shake his faith in humanity more than the habit some people have of subscribing for the paper, letting it come on until they get behind, and then refusing to take it from the postoffice or settle the bill. The average editor dislikes to lose a subscriber, of course, but he doesn’t expect anyone to take the paper unless he wants it bad enough to pay for it. What he does dislike is such a mean method of side-step ping a bill. He ahs to figure very closely and he counts on so much each year from his subscriptions. Then each time a subscriber refuses to pay for the paper after he has ordered it, and received it, it only means that the editor is out revenue he had figured on and that he has to set about making up the defici ency from some other source. We haven't many of these bill-dodgers around Vernonia, but we would like to go through 1925 without en countering a single one. 160 acre ranch m Idaho for sale or trade.

U., in her New Year’s message says, among other things, that “unques- tiinably. in the acute moral struggle of today, the best defense of the 18th Amendment is an aggressive campaign for law observance an dlaw enforcement. Let us deeply impress home-loving women with this fact as we win them to our gleaming stand ard Together we have covenanted that during 1925 we will emphasize all phases of our department woi| ; that very specially we will endeavor to rally the youth of our colleges and communities that we will do our utmost to win a million children to sing our songs, shout our slogans and understand and ibey the laws of the land whose flag they patriotical ly salute. Only thus can we be true to the holy obligation and inheri tance that is ours and for which daily we thank God. Only thus can a great host of youth and children be impressed with the tremendous significance of the 18th and 19th Amendmtnts as mighty factors to be used in the building of a better nation and a redeemed worll.” The president of the National and World’s W. C. T. U. has been the recipient of many rare gifts. Bue one that surpassed in uniqueness all oth ers was received by her Christmas. Learning of her interest in the glass receptacles that were used i certain saloons of Chicago before prohibi tion became the law, former Aider man Michael Kenna, commonly call ed “Hinky Dink” who conducted the “Workingman’s Exchange” on South Clark Street, presented the chief ex ecutive of the W. C. T. U. with a huge schooner or “tub”, which had many times crossed Hinky Dink’s bar, filled with the product of Ann- heuser Busch’s breweries. The glass is eight high, sixteen inches around the bowl, four inches deep, four and one-half inches in diameter, and weighs, when empty, three pounds and eight ounces, and holds one pint of liquid. Aiderman John J. Coughlin, also an ex-saloon-keeper, who was present when Mr. Kenna consented ti part with the treasure, wrote the follow ing poem, to accompany the gift: “Dear gentle, gracious, effieiept president of the W.
