And it is coming to be recognized universally that the public is dependent upon the newspapers for the larger part of their information concerning the events and progress going on about them and throughout the world; that the advertising columns of newspapers are a wonderful medium for imparting in formation when the message carried Is honest, sincere and intelligent. That is why it pays a commercial club to advertise the community at home just as much as it does the mer chant who sells his goods in that way. . WHY THEY WANT AMERICAN HUSBANDS. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspapor in Salem whose circulation Is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations ' ADVERTISE THE COMMUNITY AT HOME. The Commercial club is making a campaign for new members and is preparing to boost for a bigger and bet ter Salem. The movement. is well-timed because, now that the war is over, there is sure to be a great era of advancement along material lines, throughout the entire " country. Those communities which are most alive to their nnnnrt.iinit.ies will natiirallv reat) the Greatest bene fit and the larger commercial club idea is merely a pre' limniary move toward getting Salem in position for. an aggressive campaign for more people and more perman ent industries, backed by intensive development of the surrounding trade area. In this connection, it might be mentioned that many communities are finding the most profitable advertising compaigns are those carried on through their local news papers. It used to be the rule to buy space in distant pub lications in the effort to attract people, capital and indus tries. Then somebody discovered that if advertising snare in home newsnaners was intellierentlv used, setting forth the opportunities and resources of the community it had a wondertul etteCt on stimulating nome people xo enterprising efforts in behalf of the community, and that these papers were widely circulated by those who lived . in the community and were interested in its growth and general advancement. As an example, not one person in ten in Salem real ized the magnitude of the fruit industries here. If this was set forth in good-sized, well written display adver tisements in the local papers, it would impress upon local people that the city and country had a real foundation for growth and they would get back of the movement more earnestly and sincerely. They would see that these papers were circulated among their friends and relatives throughout the country. Many needed industries might be discussed and brought to public attention in the same manner with good results, Communities which have tried advertising at home, instead of abroad, have been astonished at the good re sults accomplished. Possibly a principal reason is that confidence and enthusiastic loyalty have been instilled into the home people, and that after all is the basis of any pity's real and permanent growth. The efficiency of newspaper advertising has become recognized by churches " in the leading cities, drawing people to their services, just as it draws people to the bargain counters; ' Conservative banks which used to be opposed to publicity are throw ing their conservatism to the winds since they found that honest, intelligent advertising attracts the business RIPPLING RHYMES By Watt Mason FACIAL EVIDENCE. All punk emotions have their trace, quite legible, up on your face. As I go weaving down the street, I size up every man I meet; his face instructs me, not his dress; and seldom do I miss my guess. "That man," I say, "is prone to growl; he looks as gloomy as an owl; he has no checkrein on his bile; it takes an effort when he'd smile. His face is like a printed leaf, and all the contents speak of grief. And yonder gent of middle age gives way to foolish spells of rage. His temper is a sudden thing that knows no curb or leading string, and it has made him look quite old ere helf his nervous days are told. No doubt at home he is a bear and holds a reign of terror there, though on the street he tries to look as cheerful as a babbling brook. I do not want him for a friend, and so I'll dodge him till the end. That pompous skate who's coming now thinks there's a halo on his brow. His face expresses misfit pride, but vacant is his head inside. No man has any right to be as proud as this old scout I see, unless he has accomplished more than living till' he's reached three score." And thus I'm musing as I chase; I read a record in each face, and e'en the victims must con fess it's seldom that I miss my guess. A Paris newspaper has been conducting a question naire for French girls. In order to get dependable infor mation, it has gone to the girls themselves. The answers reveal the male American as surpris ingly popular with the Parisiennes. More than 40 per cent of the girls who replied confess that they would like to have American husbands. Most of them say they like the average American's breezy good humor and his respectful courtesy toward the other sex. Many of them speak of the easy comrad- ship established between the sexes by the Amencan lads, and conclude that so good a comrade will probably make a good husband. Others say that their French suitors are too fussy about their personal appearance. Ihere is some dispute as to the relative merits of a mustache and a smooth-shaven face; the vote on this point is just about a tie. These reasons are interesting but not altogether con clusive. Of course American boys are the finest in the world, and make the best husbands! That is not open to debate on this side of the water. But how comes it that French girls have never discovered this before? It is not the first time they have seen eligible Americans in Paris. Yet the marrying used to be nearly all the other way American girls marrying French men. Modesty compels the honest he-American to suggest that there are two reasons regarding which these French girls say little, but which nevertheless probably, have' a good deal to do with the matter. First, the French, re garding the Americans as their deliverers, see every American soldier with a halo around his head. Second, there are not anywhere enough men in France to go around. What wonder the Yankee is at a premium? The "Oregon Committee for Civil Service Legisla tion" writes this paper from its Portland office that it "has drawn and introduced Senate Bill 146 which pro vides for a classified and regulated civil service," and our morning contemporary denounces the bill as "u'n American, un-Oregonian and Prussian," hoping that "Ore gon may be spared the civil service system, as exemplified by a large part of the system as it works in the federal government." And yet the same paper criticises the pre sident and the national administration for its alleged dis regard of civil service rules and regulations. Apparently civil service is desired in a democratic nation and par tisan appointments in a republican state. It seems to be about the calibre of the present state administration to hold to a view so narrow and inconsistent. So far as this paper is concerned we will go further and say that ve do not believe in the civil service system in either nation or state, except in the rarest cases of highly specialized em ployment. The bill in question was quickly deieated m the senate, because it would interfere with the partisan distribution of offices. Those United States senators who are opposing the League of .Nations idea are in perfect accord with the leading German statesmen. As a matter of fact the op position members in the upper house of congress have been pretty good allies of Germany from the time we got into the war. Men have just as much sense as nature, anyway. If it's foolish to peel off winter underwear just because February acts like spring, how about the risks those bud ding trees are taking? T,nnks like the legislative session would end this week, as it will not be necessary to vote appropriations for more than $25,000,000. ,A little matter like that should not consume more than a couple of days:,' Senator Poindexter's nosition on the League of.Na tions is heartily endorsed by German Chancellor Ebert.

CHAPTER XIII We still kept the apartment we had rented when we were first married. But we kept two servants, and when wa imitertaincdf Ntul always sent man from tho club to wait.

We'll make a bon fire f them when we go," he returned Of course I knew he did not mean that he would burn them, but that they would amount to so little when he had made the money he expected to, that they wouldn 't eount. 60 . I went on buying beautiful things for the house and handksome clothes at tho most expensive modiste's. Often when I looked into tho glass I would wonder if I were the same girl who, only little over a year ago, was satisfied to dress in muslins and ging hams. Now nothing was too ultra for me to wear. I had acquired -certain style which seemed to call for extreme fashions, and as Neil never grumbled1 about the bills which were always sent to him, I had gradually grown more and more extravagant in my spending. Not that I yet bought like some women we knew. I had neither expen sive jewels or furs. But it costs a grent deal for a woman to wear handsome evening and afternoon gowns, and to bo correctly tailored for the street. Hats, boots and underwear all were of a kind I never had dreamed of pos sessing very unlike the plain prac tical things I had in my simple trous seau. Neil was Joeeoming very uncertain in his hours. It annoyed me and I spoke of it to him "You are getting later and later for dinner, Neil If you keep this tip I soon sihairnot see you at all." He made no reply. During dinner I tried1 to get him to talk of what ho was doing, but instead of this he talk ed of trivial matters. Ho seemed to be regarding me critic ally, carefully. I had an impression that ho was holding something back; that ho was weighing every word ho spoke. The next day I recalled his manner at dinner when I overheard two mon speak of him. I had gone into tho Wal dorf to wait for Lorraine Morton with whom I had agreed to lunch. I waited in the writing room, and as I was a lit tle ahead of time I busied myself by writing mother. On a settee near me were tiw,o men. "I saw young Forbes this morning. He stowoed. mo, and I must say ho had two very peculiar men with him. Not his sort at all." "Forbes' friends are not all distin guished, by any means," the other replied, "i't seems ft pity that some young men think that to be successful in business they have to do shady things or be intimate with those who do. In time thev all go under together. Forbes comes of good stock It's too bad. I wonder what' kind of a wife he has." Just then Lorraine came in and I heard no more. I called her attention to tho .two men and asked her if she knew them. "Never saw them before whyf" " Do you know any other Forbes be sides Neil!" I then asked.

The best thing to use is just plain mulsificd cocoanut eil, for it is pure and entirely greaselees. It's v"tj cheap and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. 'You can get this at any -drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. , Simply frnoisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoon;ful is all that as required. It makes an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanse thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, end is solt, fres looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particlo of dust, dirt and dandruff. i44tMMMMMMM HTHE Lord helps those who help themselves."

USE HOME PRODUCTS. Home Industry Liaoue of Oregon S3 named Forbes, and said he was of good stock. It seemed odd that I should hear them." I had no slightest inten tion of confiding in Lorraine Morton. But once more I had the sensation of Cm-boding that I had experienced the day I lunched with Blanche Orton. Lorraine shot a keen glance at me. It seemed to mo there was some sort of meaning in her look. Then sho asked . "D009 Neil Mr. Forbes tell -you about his business! Some men are very secretive I know. I should want to know every blessed thing about a mans business if I were married." (Tomorrow One of Neil 's deals goes "They were talking of som man through) DON'T ENDURE RHEUMATIC PAIN!
