WaIklng.

The reputation Of walking for
pleasure, like the reputation of
great poetry, is maintained not by
the acquiescence of the many but
by the fervent enthusiasm of the
few. Cross-country walking, wan
dering without Interior motive
over an unfamiliar landscape. is
enlisting III the service of high ro-
nance the commonest physical ex-
ercise known to humanity, as
poetry is but the sublimation of
our common speech. Walking is
the cheapest and the simplest of
all pastimes, and the most fraught
with possibilities of joy. No one
can know in full the picturesque
resources of countryside, nor its
intimate personality, nor the heart
of the humanity that inhabits it
until he has tramped through it.
To a mind and eye accustomed to
more rapid modes of transit,
walking magnifes by its necessary
slowness the imaginative resour-
ces of each mile of countryside
as a microscope reveals simple
unit like maple leaf to be a COM

Advertising DiSpeIS DulIneSS,

In the old days of shopping
purchases were made at different
seasons, and four or five months
out of the twelve were "dreadfully
dull"
Then January, February, July,
August ard December, stores and
streets we're deserted and the lean
months ate up the profits of the
fat months.
There is still a difference in the
sales by month; but nothing is
known like the dull days of Au-
gust and January.
Advertising has changed it all.
Advertising creates traffic." and
distributes the business more
uniformly throughout the year.
1t has not done its largest SER
ice. Its power is not yet. fully
understood, but it is now recog-
nized as essential to commercial
success.
If August is not better month
for trade in 1912 than in 1911, it
will be due to a neglect of adver-
Using, for all conditions of trade
are better.

We men are a wonderful lot, of
course, but the statistics of life

Queer Wax OF Oregon.

Xehaleln wax is the name given Q
somewhat mysterious product found
on the beach near the mouth OF the
Nehalem river in oregon.
IL was observed by the early ex'
plorers OF that coast. Later consid
erable deposits were found in the
sand of the beach In 1886 several
tons OF this queer. waxlike substance
we're shipped 10 Hawaii, and since
then many tons OF II have been sent
10 Northwestern markets
Opinion is divided concerning the
nature and origin OF this substance.
Some hold that Il is beeswax and 9TH
ers contend that II Is mineral sub
stance called ozocerite. II Is usual
ly found in large rectangular blocks
II has honey.likc aroma when
freshly cut. Examination made In
the laboratory OF western uniyers-
fly shows that the substance closely
approaches beeswax In composition
ana does not accord with the proper
ties OF ozocerite.
The conclusion. oddly enough. IA
