EVENTS.
NOTES.

- I'll dh ibA NdAhilul anu Olh Eblu
Willamette made a handsome record
in the local field day contests Satur-
day. May she do as well on June 5.
The only action that marred the
days pleasures and the fairness OF
the games, was some unprovoked and
altogether uncalled for "slugging'
that was observed in the mile race
Such actions are not even justified by
certain defeat.
With any training whatever, excel
lent athletes could be developed from
the Chemawr Indian Training school
Fred Freeman, the popular frs
baseman of the Chcmawa baseball
team, distinguished himself by taking
second place in the 22O yard dash.
A. %. Garland, the "Pad-
eroosky" Of w. U., surprised his
friends by winning the mile race.
His record of S:31 As lacks two fifths
of a second Of reaching inter-col-
legiate recO rd.
G.. G. Miller, of W. U. easily won
the 220 hurdle in 30 seconds.
The pole vault was lacking in COM
petitive interest from the fact that
there were no entries from other than
the Y. NJ. &, A. team.
AS usual the hundred yard dash
was pretty race, Dick Williams of
W. U. taking first place with ease.
1t might be in order to suggest that
you keep your eye on Williams in the
sprinting events on June 5.
The half-mile run was a very pretty
race. Sellwood, of Y. NJ. 9. A. kept
the lead until within few feet OF
the tape when he was passeo by
Brown, of w. U.
The wonderful performance of Saund-
ers, of Chemawa, in putin the shot
"a feet inches, excited considerable
comment. This was done without
any training or any knowledge of how
to throw.
Carl Morris, the bright young law
student of w. u, distinguished him
self as foot racer by taking the mile
race Saturday. Carl, no doubt, possess
Ses strong pair Of lungs that will en-
able him to make long and able ar
gument before "His Honor" when the
OCCdSlOD lldJ IGlulIc'
Now that local field day is thing
of the past, interest is being centered
on June when the intercollegiate
field day contests will be held at Sa-
lem. Eugene, Monmouth, and Corval-
lis schools will send teams to Salem,
who will contest with the Willamette
university team. Some very exciting
contests are expected this year. The
team scoring the largest number of
points will gain possession of the hand
some championship cup for one year.
The cup is now held by the Eugene,
school and it is reported that the Cor
Wallis and Salem teams are beth very
anxious to obtain the cup and will
make every effort to do so.
A pleasant feature of Saturday af-
ternoOn's exercises was the music, as
furnished by the Indian school band.
With only few months practice the
boys from Chemawa have gained
wonderful knowledge Of music. They
made a very creditable appearance
and were the recipients of many COM
pliments.
Saunders, of Chemawa, in his high
Jump of feet 4 inches, came near
beating the intercollegiate record of
5 feet Al inches. There is no doubt
but he can beat it.
"DIck" Williams, manager Of the
University team,i deserving Of much
credit for his conscientious labors
with the team, 1t was only through
his untiring efforts with the team
that such splendid victory was won.

mored. Jollity and exhuberant health
are proverbia1 combination. The hearty
man who is always laughing doesn't
have any trouble with his digestion, It
has been said that laughing makes peo-
pie healthy. The truth is that health
makes people laugh.
There isn't any other thing so essential
to health as regularity in the action OF
the bowels Most all sickness starts with
some arrangement of the digestive func-
tions. Good digestion means good, pure
blood, and that means strength. Once
let the bowels become clogged with
refuse matter, and the whole system 10
deranged. Impure, poisonous matter
gets into the blood and plants the seeds
for all sorts of sickness.
Whenever there is a stoppage OF the
intestinal action, help should be given
Immediately. Usually a mild, gentle
laxative is all that is necessary. A vio-
lent, wrenching, gripping cathartlc Is
never needed. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets are the most pleasant and successful
remedy for occasional or chronic consti-
patton, or costiveness. They are tiny,
sugar-coated anti-bilious granules that
even the smallest child can easily take.
They act in perfect accord with nature
and produce no gripping or other disagree

the first indication of digestive trouble.
They stop sour stomach. belching'

Estimating Returns.

He is a wise man who eau tell, even approximately what his re- turns win be from any particular advertisement. At the most it is but guesswUrk. Experience counts for little, because results are seldom duplicated in any particular. One thousand dollars spent in a certain territory may bring back $5,000 at one time. and may fail to pay ex- penses at another. The shrewdest advertisers cannot always guess when it is the right tlme and the longer they are in the business the more puzzling it gets.
 Advertising is very much like fish. tug, anyhow. You can bait your hook as you like, hut you never know for certain when you are go- ing 10 get q bite, how many fish you are going to land, or whether you will catch one tt all. The stream in which you have formerly been sue eessful may now be empty of fish. or the fish may be chary of your bait.
 Estimating returns is figuring on an unknown quantity. You may be counting yonr chickens before they are matched, or you may be under rating what the resnlts will prove. IL Is not a question 10 averages. There is no basis to go 5Y. Past results afford no key to present or future returns. The experiences of another are no indication what yours may be. preeedents are no guides.
 And yet there are men who will make ar appropriation for certain media in certain territory. and then affect to be able to figure on the ap- proximate returns. Chance fnyors them in those few cases where they guess closely, because no other cle- ment but chance can influence the re- | turns. A thousand unseen causes may help or hinder sales, and who can figure on the influence of unseen causes?
 It is not possible to correctly esti- mate the possible profits or losses of an advertising campaign. The only thing to do Is to trust to yoaF goods and your mediums and style of ad- vertising. Do the best and most conscientious work of which you are capable, and then you may be sure that your efforts have been bent In the right direction The results will depend upon two things: whether you have q meritocious article that you have convinced chem in your advertising that it Is worth the eprice you are asking them to pay fer it.
