FREE WOOL NOW
TARIFF PROGRAM

Washington, April 2. All tar
.iff on raw wool will be removed
at the next session of congress,
according to the plan developed
this. evening at a conference be-
tween President Wilson and
members of the house ways and
means committee.
The placing of raw wool on the
free list will have the hearty
support of all democratic mem
bers of the committee. If this
becomes a fact the free wool
democrats of the house will score
a triumph for which they have
worked for two years.
Within the last twenty-four
hours Mr.. Wilson has decided, to
reconsider his determination to
have the bill passed schedule by
schedule. He has come to no
decision concerning free sugar.
The staggering sum that must
be raised by the income tax gave
the president deep thought. Free
sugar alone will cost the country
$50, 900, 900 in revenue. Added
to this cost will be 500, 900, 900
from the corporation tax, which
cannot, under the constitutional
provision against double taxation,
be levied when an income tax is
imposed.
The president, of course favors
an income tax, but he has no de-
sire to arouse to much opposi-
tion in the construction of a tax
law. The present plan is for a
graduated tax, with $4,000 the
highest income a man can re-
ceive without taxation, anC one
per cent the minimum tax.
All incomes of $1OO, 900 and
over will be taxed the maximum
amount. This maximum has not
yet been determined, but it will
be left to the president tostretch
it by proclamation if necessary
to meet the expenses of the coun-
try. Constitutional precedent
for this is found in the law which
authorized the presikent to fix
canal tolls.
The ways and means commit
tee is lined up as follows: With
Underwood for a moderate tariff;
Hammond of Minnesota, Hall of
Tennessee, Palmer of Penysyl-
vania, Peters Of Massachusetts,
Shackelford of Missouri and Ans
berry of Ohio.
Against Underwood for radi-
cal tariff: Francis Burton Har-
rison of New York, Kitchen of
North Carolina, Rainey of Hi
/ nois, Stanley of Kentucky and
Garner of Texas.
Wavering; Dixon of Indiana
and Collier Of Mississippi.

WOULD GIVE CITY SET
OF NEW SCALES


For a long time our citizens
have argued the question of hav-
ing the various commodities such
as coal, grain, hay, ETC., weished
on city scales and the receip; or
weigh bill to be furnished them
by the person from whom the
goods were purchased as to- it's
correctness as regards weigh.
1t is very seldom that we get
anything for nothing, but one of
our citizens came to this Office
last week and made the offer
that he would have installed ain
a convenient place in town a new
set of up-to-date scales, pay fA'
them out of his own pocket, t.
he were appointed weigh-maste'
for three years.
He would charge q nornina.
fee for weighing all commodities
of whatever nature to be
weighed, furnish the weigh bill,
etc., and give the city on the
first of each month 25 per cent
of the total receipts of the
month, which would be a cleal
gain to the city.
He also stated that after three
years, if the city seen'so fit, tt
appoint another weigh-mastel
they could do so and the scales
would become city property.
We think it would be well fo
the city council to consider thi
matter at their next regula
meeting, as the city has nothing
to lose on the transaction AM
much to gain, and furthermore
the continual talk that has beer
going on in this community for
number of years back regardin,
short weights, etc, would fo
once and all be quieted.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO TID-
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

Advertising a drug store is like
advertising any other store or bust
ness.
A drug store has a certain service
to sell. Most every man, woman and
child has patronized or is patronizing
drug store. Therefore drug stores
are recognized as being a necessity,
and where there is more than one
drug store in town it is up to the
people to decide which store they
will trade.
The. druggist has big opportun-
ity to increase his business through
advertising. But he must tell more
about his business than general
statements.
Every drug store has a personality
through the services it renders.
Tell the people about your pre-
scription methods; about the quality
of your drugs; the skill of your dis
penser.
Tell people about your other
goods; get right down to cases and
describe the goods in a way that
people will want TO see them. When
you are enthusiastic over. a certain
thing and describe it to a friend,
don't you give the little personal de-
tails, thereby bringing out the point?
That is what you should do in your
advertising.
Get enthusiastic over your goods
and shoot some Of the enthusiasm
into your copy.
Next talk will he on jewelry ad-
vertising.

A Sleighing Party,

Thursday evening sleighing
party, the destination of which was
Wagner Springs, started from the
Columbia Hotel at $3.50, in huge
bobsled drawn by four horses, with
the usual accompaniments of horns
and whistles. 1t is said the accus-
toned serenity of the Rogue river
valley was much disturbed along the
route.
The party arrived at it's destina-
tion at 1880, and it is needless to say
it did justice to the turkey dinner
made ready by Mr.. and Mrs. Bart
lett. At either end of the table was
turkey, over which Mr.. Briggs and
Mr.. Foster presided, displaying their
skill at carving. After dinner the
evening was spent in music and
dancing.
The most thrilling event of the
evening was panther, evidently at
tracted by the unusual sounds, fol-
lowing the sleigh for some distance.
Its department was so gentle that it
was decided to leave it unmolested,
and it at last disappeared in the
trees.
The one regret is that Fred
rick Remington or one of like gen
ius could not have been along to
have put on canvas some of the
beauty of these mountains robed in
white.
Those in the party were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Monte Briggs, Mr.. and Mrs.
Foster, Mrs. Moulden, the Misses
Winnie Hadley, Vivian Greer, Mamie
Barnes, Eleanor Greer, Myra Homes
and Margaret Tomlin; Messrs. Rout-
ledge, Caldwell, USHER, Eugene
Moody and Lynn Mowat.

Lion and Mouse.

In Berlin zoo a mouse was put
in the cage of lion to test whether,
as the old story asserts, there was a
natural affection between them. The
experience was rather astonishing.
The lion saw the mouse before he
was fairly through the bars and was
after him instantly. Away went the
little fellow, squeaking in fright.
When he had gone few yards the
lion headed him off, and this was re-
peated until the mouse stood still.
The lion then stood over him,
studying his with interest, and pres
emily he brought his paw down on
the mouse, but so gently that it was
not injured in the least. Then the
lion played with the mouse, now let
ting him run few inches, and then
stopping hiQ again.
Suddenly the mouse changed his
tactics, and. instead of running when
the lion lifted its paw, sprang
straight at the big animals head.
The lion. terrified, gave a great
leap backward and roared in extreme
fright, while the little mouse made
his escape. OF the two. the lion was
the more frightened.-Ne York
