of honest, intelligent people. 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. .

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.

"We want to have things decent
while we are here. 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.

EE CAE ETUI, IN USING
SOAP ON YOTJB HATS
Most -soaps and prepared shampoos
contain Jtoto. much alkali, which is very
injurious," fts it dries tho scalp and
makes the iarr 'brittle.
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

wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particlo of
dust, dirt and dandruff.

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
