A BOOSTING" CAMPAIGN.

The boosting wave" the wave tha
has lifted Eugene up to the highwatel
mark Of prosperity, the wave that has
struck Albany and other valley towns
and is sweeping Salem to the front,
seems likely to strike Dallas also-if
the citizens are willing to allow it to
strike and are willing to help in every
way, to float their city clean up onto
its very crest.
A mass meeting Of the citizens of
Dallas is to be held in the Courthouse
tonight at o'clock for the purpose Of
discussing plans for campaign of
community advertising" and every
citizen of Dallas should be present
The meeting will be addressed by
W. b. Wells, general advertising
agent for the Hartman lines, the
'Sunset man." who will discuss the
main points In the art Of scientific |
boosting" and will be glad to do |
everything in his power to help the
citizens Of Dallas to inaugurate such
campaign in this city.
The results Of scientific boosting of
the resources Of a community, in
other words, the results of proper
advertisement, are everywhere mani
fest. Scarcely town can be named
in the Willamette Valley, that has
made any marked progress during
the past year, but that progress may
be attributed directly to "boosting."
There is no reason why the same t
methods should not apply to this city, \
because if there is city or COM
munity in the Willamette Valley that
can advertise and can deliver the :,
goods" that city is Dallas. Even =
Without the agency of advertisement,
even regularly organized
commercial club, the growth Of this :
'ity during the past year has been ~
title short Of miraculous and the
beneficial result Of well organized
and skillfully prosecuted advertising
can scarcely be estimated, F

sravc,s or a picture Film

The life Of picture film is limited.
They constantly are wound and un-
wound on the machines and this in
time wears them so full of holes and
scratches that they become valueless.
Only by the best of care can a string
of films be made to last through one
season.
When the films are rented from the
Paris manufacturers it costs the man.
ayers in this country all the way from
$40 to $50 week to get them. The
rental price depends on the quality of
the films and the scenes which they
portray. In the five cent theaters,
where there is a change of pictures
every day. the same films can be used
only two or three times at most. After
that they are sent to the next vaudi-
Vile or five cent theatre in the cur
cult, thus going the rounds much after
the manner of the actors and actresses
themselves.

DEATH TO PESTS
How to EffeCtnaIly Get Rid of the
PIantain and the DandeIiOn

Answering requests for information
as to the best means of killing
dandeliOn and plantain, Prof. Stanley
Coulton, of the Purdue university
says:
ITO get rid of dandelion first cut
the flowers before they set seed If
this is done for two or three years
it will practically exterminate the
plant. The flowers as they are cut
should not be left lying upon the
ground. They will ripen their seed
even after they are cut They
should be burned or otherwise des-
troyed. The second method is by TAX
Ing the plant out by the root. In
this case the entire root must be
taken, as cutting off few inches
below the surface does not effect the
destruction of the plant, but imulates
its growth, and new plants will arise
sometimes as many as three from a
single root
In the case of plantain, pulling it
Up by the root or giving the plant
more light will effect the purpose.
Law plantain will not thrive as
rule in an extremely sunny location.
If the lawn is badly infested with
these plants l would plow to the ordi-
nary depth, level it up and then put
an inch or two of top dressing and
SOW new seed. The danger in this
| treatment lies in the fact that if
your neighbors are careless about their
dandelion the new surface will make
good bed for them and they will
spring up almost as abundantly as
before. My advice would be to try
to get rid of The dandelion and plan
tain by repeated cutting and by pull
ing it up by the roots whenever
conditions favor that treatment"
