Isn,t Thig Absolutely TrueP

Nothing ever became popular-bere or
IN any other country a reason.
Popular men have merit of some kind,
must have, or they would not be popular.
They must have exceptional merit and
wonderful character if their popularity in
creases with time.
As with men, so with goods. So with
any article that is on the market. 1t cam
not increase its sales, it cannot be adopt
ed as a standard article, it cannot sur
vive generations unless it have real, inher-
ent merit.
Millions of dollars spent in advertising
any article without merit, are just wasted,
SO far as continued sales are concerned.
Intelligent housekeepers cannot be COM
PEELED TO buy what they do not approve Of.
That much is a self-evident fact. 1t
cannot be gainsaid. But it tells its own
story of Lion Coffee and its quality-7a
coffee that has been the leader of all
package coffees tor more than quarter
of century, that has steadily grown in
the affections of millions of American
homes since the first introduction, long,
long ago.
It's unexcelled favor, perfect purity and
uniform quality; its absolute cleanliness
and neat appearance, have endeared it to
the hearts of the people.
Good grocers viii tell you this, but those
who drink coffee ought to know much
more about quality than they who simply
sell it,

get. How can your grocer!

Three presidents cf the United States

fiftieth anniversary. One was Thomas
Jefferson, who so years before had
signed the Declaration of Independ-

same time, had, after a three days de-

men were warm personal friends, even

ALL IN SUSPENSE.
No Federal Appointments in Oregon
Until After Land Fraud Trials.

Washington, Feb. lS.-''No more
Federal appointments in Oregon until
after the trials"
This conclusion was reached last
night by Secretary Hitchcock, Attorney
General Moody and Postmaster General
Wynne, and applies to all appointments
coming under the jurisdiction Of their
respective departments. AS matter
of fact, this decision will affect only
postoffice appointments, for there is no
likelihood OF vacancies occurring in
either the Interior department or the
Department of Justice while the land
fraud case are pending. The district
attorneyship must necessarily remain in
allegiance until the cases are concluded,
there are no land Office vacancies pres
ent or prospective, unless the register
and receiver at Roseburg should be dis
missed, and such action is not contem-
plated until after the trials are over.
So the agreement Of these cabinet Off
GERS really narrows down to postofiice
cases.
