Wasted Advertising.

II A noted scientific writer SAID
H that "at least two-thirds OF all
Human effort is wasted and
/ the remaining one-thlrd is
/ largely misdirected." :" If this
Ilassertion is true it would be
Interesting to figure out what
portion of $35, 600, 600, 900, the
H amount spent annually in the
\ worlds market. is wasted. 1t
Ills likewise interesting to know
\ what per cent of the millions
of dollars spent annually in
i advertising s.wasted and why
Ills it wasted.
Men who have made a care
H full study of advertising tell
us that over rs per cent of all
advertising is wasted. Why
\ this vastlper cent of inefiici-
enty? 1t was only recently
we noticedsthat three general
J stores in town advertised on
\ the same day that they were
now holding the Greatest
/ Semi-Annual Clearance Sale
Ever Held Here" Each of
! the stores could not be holding
the greatest sale. The pro-
! prietors did not believe it, the
i public did not believe it and
the three advertisements were
inefficient and wasteful. Dis
honest advertising is destruc-
tive in tendency and wasteful
advertising.
The problem of distribution,
/ of bringing buyer and seller
together, is the great problem
/ in business. That is what the
right kind of advertising does.
Any advertising that does not
accomplish this result is waste
full advertising.
Spasmodic, and in fact all
advertising not backed up with
a definite plan, is wasteful
advertising. This kind of ad-
vertising never can be relied
upon to produce definite re-
suits.
There is one certain way Of
reducing waste in advertising. |
Just as salesman are made |
efficient by proper training and |
handling so advertising will |
be efficient when the advertiser |
is properly trained. 1t is just |
as foolish to prepare advertise
ments without a knowledge of |
advertising, as it is to perform |
a critical operation without a
knowledge of surgery.

AlsNAitk WV "ohNA athHtos So
maps prepared from the surveys
made under the direction Of the
State Engineer show the condi-
ton as to overfowed or watered
lands; the claims filed with the
State Water Board reveal what
each claimant thinks he is en-
titled to.
The total acreage claimed as
irrigeted exceeds the actual
amount Of benefcially watered
land. probably, by one-third or
one-half; the amount of water
claimed as being used to irrigate
these lands is about three times
the quantity that the river is
known to carry down to the val
ley each year. Thousands Of
acre feet of water flood our best
valley lands early each spring,
causing great damage to culti-
waited crops, and finally fill up
and form the many acres of
worthless swamp lands around
Malheur Lake.
1t will, therefore, appear that
there are some discrepancies be-
tween the claims as filed and the
actual facts. The State Water
Board will probably be able to
find and adjust them wisely.
The Pacific Live Stock Co.
claims to have irrigated or has
now ready for irrigation 35. Ia
acres, and which the company
alleges requires a acre feet per
acre, or 140,576 acre feet, per
season, to enable it to produce a
crop of wild hay. The company
contends that this is the only
crop that their lands are capable
of producing. Superintendent
Gilcrest has testified that the
greatest amount of hay his COM
pany has harvested in one year
was about 5000 tons and the
average yield has been about
5000 tons per year. 35, 900 acres
OF good Harney Valley land,
properly irrigated and cultivated.
will produce at least los. 600 tons
of alfalfa, or 1000. 600 bushels of
grain.
The combined claims of the
William Hanley Company, the
Silvies River Irrigation Co.,
Harvey Valley Improvement
Company and the Oregon and
Western Colonization Company
call for more water than annually
flows into the Harvey Valley. :.
Individual claims aggregate
about 26, 400 acres and ask for
about 81, acre feet per season.
The total area claimed as now
irrigated in the Harvey Valley is
about 85. acres. Under pre-
sent conditions this is supporting
about 5000 people. With proper
development that amount of ir-
rigated land will support more
than 20. 200 inhabitants.
A few of the successful farm
ers have stated in their proof
claims that one acre foot per
season delivered to their land
would be sufficient. The majority |
of the claimants. however. have
alleged that the irrigation season
extends from about March 10Th
to July Is, and that their land
required one miners inch of
water. Water cannot be used
benefcially on cultivated crops
in this section in March and
April. A miners inch flowing
for the term of 100 days is a
great deal more water than any
Of the land receives or that can
possibly be put to a beneficial
use.

unfortunately, to the District govern

The "joy rides" of a certain class of

THE OPEN FORUM
Bryan. st. Patrick. Day Address.

To the Editor-The admirers Of William
Jennings Bryan need lose no sleep over
the alleged blazing indiscretion' of his
address at the st. Patrick's Day ceIebra-
ton. 1t was a stroke of genius that
designated the assured triumph of home
rule for Ireland as "a victory for the
world" No class will more applaud the
Righteousness of the expression than
those progressive and patriotic Eng
lishmen whose support has made the
victory possible, thereby doing more to
insure the strength and stability of the
British Empire than any standing army
mustered under its flag could do.
The New York Tribunes Washington
correspondent attributes Mr. Bryan's re-
marks to a desire on the part of the
new Secretary OF State to indulge in the
pastime of twisting the lions tail. The
Tribune has no high regard for the
intelligence of its readers il it expects
them to swallow such twaddle without
making a wry face at the attempt. If
the correspondents assertion is true that
Mr.. Bryan's remarks have been con-
strued as an affront to every diplomatic
representative of monarchy, so much the
worse for the representatives. as II would
show their intelligence and good sense
to be on par with the correspondents
But there is no reason to believe that
such is the caAe
William Jennings Bryan is the fore
most living representative of militant
Democracy, and he honors the office of
Secretary of State more than it honors
him. II Is not for him TO stoop to the
'bated breath and whispered humble
ness of those near-statesmen who could
weigh before delivery, in fear and trem-
bling, every public utterance. lest II
should perchance jar the fine feelings of
any representative of special privilege. or
the divine right of kings to rule or mis-
rule. who might happen to hear them.
Mr.. Bryan has well been called the
Great Commoner," and never did the
title seem more appropriate than when
he delivered that st. Patrick's Day
speech. which will be hailed as an in
spring message by unconquerable de-
mocracy the world over.

John Bull and Mr.. Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan manifestly would substi-
tute plain speech for brute force as
the strong influence in international re-
lations. Opposed to armaments he is
devoted to arguments.
The fury of the Unionist press of
London at his statements that the sue
cess of home rule will spell the down.
fall OF hereditary government was to
be expected. Those who. expect the
British government to take offense will
doubtless be disappointed. The present
Asquith ministry exists by reason of
its alliance with the Irish Nationalists.
who would not support it for a day
were home rule not one of the govern
ment's leading policies. The Asquith
ministry has shorn the House OF
Lords OF its former vast power, and
thus curtailed the prerOgatives OF
hereditary government.
In other words, Mr.. Bryan as Sec
retary OF State commends the very
policy which a majority OF the Brit
ish electorate favors. Had he con-
demned home rule the Tory newspapers
of London which now so bitterly as
sail him would praise his sentiments.
In other words. it is not Mr. Bryan's
intrusion into British affairs that
calls down criticism on his head it
is the view he takes of British qucs-
tiO,,S

Mr. Huntington Wilson. Resignation.

The long-but not fulsome-letter OF
resignation submitted by Assistant Sec
rotary of State Huntington Wilson. and
the brief-but not curt-acceptance Of
it by President Wilson, need no ex-
tended comment.
Each Mr.. Wilson acted not only
within his own right. but, really, within
his duty President Wilson, in a
statement to the press, made plain his
intentions to relegate, with other poll
cieS OF precious administrations, the
Taft policy toward the republic OF
China. Assistant Secretary Wilson, at
the time the Acting Secretary. is a
sympathizer, indeed, one of the Gre
ators. OF the policy OF the preceding ad-
ministration, policy designated com
mercial" or dollar diplomacy"
Mr.. Huntington Wilson would have
done himself. as we'll as the President
and the nation, an injustice by sub
jecting himself TO a duty to promote
policies of which he positively disap-
proved.
Mr. President Wilson and Mr.. Sec
retary Wilson, the latter by his letter
of resignation. the former in a state
ment TO the press, made their positions
plain. In Secretary Wilson's letter
there is a suspicion OF reprocf that the
Acting Secretary of State should learn
the attitude OF the President through
the press. If such meaning be be-
tween the lines, it cannot appreciably
affect the public-it is matter of
taste, only. To the people, to whom
the two policies toward China have
been announced, there is little left in
the incident except to recognize with
regret that difference OF opinion log
ically and inevitably deprives a very
efficient administration of very eff
ficient Assistant Secretary of State.
