southern California with the Mexi-
can or Japanese in competition?
We have been warned what the
ships that pass through the Panama
canal will unload on our shores
The big cities of Oregon and
Washington are demanding strong
men at the head of their affairs.
They have declared for those Off
cials that are unafraid, and who will
cope with uncleanliness and crimi-
nality. In anticipation they are
Strengthening their city ordinances.
Furthermore, alert men are plan
ming for the state, laws which they
hope shortly or at least before 1914
ends, to submit to the people, such
as apply largely to labor or safety.
1t is said in Ashland, in the year
1911, one-third of the men did not
exercise the privilege of voting. 1t
is said that in California last year
about the same proportion of men
did not vote. Today in that state
voters are agitating the question of
making it obligatory for citizens to-
vote or lose their privileges of ballot,
and this measure is heartily endorsed
by, Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
1t is highly necessary, on account
of labor conditions as we'll as many
others, that all right minded citizens
link together. Take, for instance,
the eight-hour lays now in prepara-
tion to be put shortly before Oregon
people, if possible by direct vote.
These will apply to both men and
women in every industry. This ques-
tion should be settled by all means
before 1915. Is each woman going
to help the future conditions for her
husband, her son or daughter? If
so, it will include about five minutes
at the registration office 1t should
be done at once and is just as impor-
tant as ironing ruffle or trimming
the table for pink tea.

WHAT HUSTLINC DOES
Hustling, Honest Dealing and Adver-
tising Builds Up Big Business
in Small City.

The advertiser in a city the size
of Ashland often remarks, ''It may
pay to advertise in city, but it
won't in place this size" A strik-
ing refutation recently came under
the notice of the writer. Back in
1888, the same month that he began
washing forms and running errands
in print shop in Usage, Iowa, there
came to the store underneath the
printing office, which was upstairs,
one of the greenest looking Norwe-
gian boys who ever came down the
pike. The lad went to work as err
rand boy and under clerk with a
common district school education
and a determination to make good.
After few years he bought an in
terest the store. Later he bought
out his partner and tbok in his
younger brothers, who came from
the farm, nearly if not quite as crude
as himself.
This week a copy of one of the
Usage papers (the last census gives
the town $500 population) came to
hand. A double page advertisement
of the Gopelrud Bros annual sum-
mer clearance sale, with about 500
lines of local, devoted to the same
sale, vividly recalled to the writer
his first impressions of Harry Gopel-
rud, on whom as town boy he was
somewhat inclined to look down.
1t was but one of the many in
stances where he has known of the
building up of business houses ap-
parently far in excess of the demands
of the community, simply by hust-
ling, honest dealing and judicious ad-
vertising. 1t also emphasizes the
fact (Which is an axiom among the
newspaper fraternity that the bet
ter a merchant understands the ad-
vertising game the stronger he favors
advertising. 1t is very seldom that
man who understands advertising,
both in the way of ad writing and
in the psychology of how and when
to advertise, ever says that advertis-
ing does not pay

SEND APPLES TO AFRICA
Northwest Fruit Exchange Adds 13
Carloads to Previous Orders
From Johannesburg.

Portland, Ore, Aug. Ills 13 an
unlucky number? Officials of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange of this
city do not believe that it is. In
fact, they have documentary proof
to show that after all the so-called
bad luck" number is in reality a
sign of the greatest prosperity.
Today the exchange secured an or
der for 13 carloads of apples to go
forward to South Africa, being the
second direct order ever received
from the former land of the Beers.
Together with the first order it
makes a total of Is carloads of ap-
pies brought from the Northwestern
Exchange by johannesburg, South
Africa, parties within the last few
days. The total order means $1,000
boxes of the fruit. The order is for
Jonathans and will effectively intro
duce Pacific northwest fruit into the
so-called Dark Continent"
The price paid for the last lot OF
apples will be more than double
in fact, will be within fraction OF
three times as great as the average
price secured for similar fruit by
many shippers last season. South
African consumers have heard of the
great merits of Pacific northwest ap-
piles and they intend to get a very
good taste of them this season with
the promise that the orders will be
greatly increased next season.
This last order completes a chain
of orders for Pacific northwest ap-
piles that extends from one end of
the earth to the other. Europe,
Asia, Africa, North America and
South America have now been invad-
ed by the peerless fruit from the Pa
cific coast.
The exchange today also secured
an order for seven carloads of Pa
cific northwest apples from South
America. Three cars of these will
be Jonathans and will be supplied
by the Rogue river district, and the
remainder will consist of Rome Beau
ties to be forwarded by Wenatchee
and Yakima, Wash.

the day, when Vincenza is coming

Biaggio on the steps Of the house,

gio, is looking out of the window

this strange woman, and she in turn
also becomes jealous. The talk is
rudely interrupted by Luigi, who re-
turns home and angrily orders his
wife into the house. There is quite
lively time in both apartments as

FOR PERSONAL PURITY
Chicago Schools to Introduce Lee
lures in Public Schools in
This Matter.

Chicago, Aug. S.-With the COM
ing of the fall term of the Chicago
public schools but a few weeks dis
tant, Superintendent Ella Flagg
Young admitted today that she has
made no definite selections of the
men and women who are to conduct
classes in the new personal purity"
course to be launched in the Chicago
high schools. She will call con-
ference of high school principals
within a week to hear suggestions.
1--WE feel that we have taken a
radical, almost a revolutionary, step
in adopting the personal purity
course in Chicago" said Mrs.
Young. I'VE realize that other cit
les will closely watch the working
out of the venture and will take it
up if Chicago is successful. We
who have advocated this course feel
certain of success, which will mean
that in another generation false and
prudish standards will be swept
away with the proper training of
children. We will be careful in map
ping out our course and in choosing
our instructors, for we want to be
certain of our ground before we go
ahead"
Applications for positions as in
structors have come to the office of
Mrs. Young from scores of physi-
clans, men and women. While the
teachers will be recruited largely
from members of the medical pro-
fession, Mrs. Young declared oday
that careful personal investigation is
being made to determine the ply
sicians who are most competent to
discuss sex questions before high
school pupils.
Many physicians and scientific
men," she said, "have their sense of
delicacy blunted by the very nature
of their work. Their psychology is
too far removed from that of the
child. Their minds move in differ
ent sphere and their fitness will be
determined not alone on their stand
ing as physicians, but also on their
understanding and tact in handling
delicate subjects so that we can
avoid at the start any shock to the
young boys and girls. We must have
instructors who can meet the pupils
minds properly.
"Of course there will be segrega-
ton. Boys will be taught by male
instructors and girls will have women
instructors. The classes will be di-
vided into small groups-small
enough for the instructors to obtain
the personal, confidential effect.
There will be no text books-no
printed matter that might be subject
to wrongful Interpretation, or any
Interpretation at all by the pupils
who are at a formative age In
struction will be solely by lectures.
But we all expect pupils to ask
questions in class groups. If the
course is successful in the high
schools we may institute a course
fit for the grade schools. At first
we shall present only limited view
of the course. Within a few weeks
we hope that the boys and girls will
come to accept instruction in sex
questions with no different attitude
than that which they might hold to
instruction in algebra. We believe
firmly this will come. When they
arrive at that state of mind the
course will be broadened and made
thorough"
