which you can get as good returns from
advertising as by using the country
Weekly. When I was in the retail
lumber business in Wenatchee I in
creased my business oyer 800 per cent
in six months by judicious campaign
Of advertising in the local paper and
100 per cent in one year. Country
papers cover the richest trade territory
in existance. They are read by every
member of the household. Advertis-
ing is not an expense; it is an invest
ment--and one that pays big divi-
dends.''

A RetraCtiOn

At regular meeting OF the city
council, held Tuesday night, Aug. IS,
the proceedings OF which meeting were
published in The Echo Of Aug. 81,
Mr.. R. L. Parker, acting as city clerk
pro tenn, stated in presence of Acting
Mayor Jacobsen and the following
members Of the council: ]. D. Wheeler
Peter Sauer, M. G. Jones and c. E.
Hamilton, and City Attorney Fox and
City Engineer Barnum, that it would
cost $50 to audit the clerks record.
Mr.. Parker now states that he was
never in possession of all the clerk S
record books, and therefore could not
say how much it would cost to audit
his records. Wherefore the statement
made to the council and mayor pro
tenn Tuesday night, Aug 10, was
wrongfully made. and the same was
then and is now untrue.

The Eight Hour Law and the Working
Man

The man who prepared the law to
be voted on under initiative measure
No. Is is either willingly or unwilling
by an enemy to labor. 1t has been said
the law was written to punish capital.
How utterly foolish. II the law be-
came oppressive to capital it would
avoid the punishment by simply re-
naming idle, and the workman who
needs the work would be most hurt.
A clause was added where in case
OF extraordinary emergency the hours
may be extended. But nothing short
of court decision could determine
when a case Of extraordinary emer-
gency existed. II this law is enacted
it will work much greater hardship
on labor than capital for the simple
reason that where an occupation can
not be followed proftably under the
eight hour law that occupation will be
closed to labor. The author of the
eight hour law would then probably
follow it up with another law compell-
ing men with money to engage in an
occupation without regard to whether
there was profit in it or not. This
would be quite as logical as the law
that made it necessary.
No workingman, knowing his own
best interest, can afford to vote for in
itiative measure No. 10.

wait to be asked. He would inter
pose his all-powerful will and put an
end to it at once. More Godlike still,
He would never have permitted it to
begin, if he intended to take hand
in it. There may be people so foolish
as to believe that God knows nothing
about the war, and will not until the
4th OF next October. Suppose the
earthly powers, acted on by the Divine
will, get together and put an end to
the war sooner than October 4, will
not the presidents proclamation look
foolish7 1t is irreverent, it is bias
phemous to suppose God does not
know his duty until it is pointed out
to him BY sinful man.

Making a Mockery of Prayer

So far we have found little in the
conduct of President Wilson to criti-
else. We did not agree with him
about Panama tolls repeal, or entirely
about his Mexico policy, over which
we venture he lost no sleep. We do
think he cheapened religion and low
cred reverence for Deity when he ap-
pointed Oct. 4 as day to be observed
by the people Of the United States in
praying to God to stop the war. We
honestly believe he knew better than
this but allowed himself to- be
swayed by a lot of enthusiasts with
more zeal than sound judgment. We
once knew preacher who always
mixed reason and common sense with
his religion. There was prolonged
drouth in his locality, the crops were
suffering and something had to be
done to save them, so he announced
to his congregation that on certain
day they would all meet at the church
and pray for rain. At the appointed
time great crowd met and the good
man went out, looked around, took
some observations and allowed his
good sense to work. Returning he
announced, This meeting is ad-
iourned without prayer" On being
asked to explain his change of heart
he said, what is the use Of praying
for rain as long as the wind blows from
the north" II God takes any ac-
count Of war why did he allow it to
begin1 Perhaps some one will say
because no one thought OF asking him
to stop it. If the president had any
confidence in the efficacy OF prayer
why did he put the day month Off
II God intended to take hand in the
war He would act with more Judgment
than the president. He would not

We're to See Great Activity in The
Years Ahead

With few, if any, exceptions, it is
now admitted by financiers, economists
and social wiseacres that the United
States will benefit enormously by the
European war as soon as peace is de-
clared, not the least of which is the
creation OF an American merchant ma
rine. Every line OF manufacturing will
be stimulated by an extraordinary de-
mand. In many lines the demand ex-
lists now, but the inability to get trans
portation, coupled with the inability to
arrange for payment is seriously ham
pering trade movement.
The war will undoubtedly stimulate
new lines of manufacturing. Germany
has for years supplied the world with
dyeing material of the best grades.
The ingenuity Of the American chem
list may be depended upon to supply
this deficiency. Germany is also the
source Of many chemicals that might
Just as we'll be made here, and that
will be made here in ever increasing
quantities. Once the eyes of the
American inventor, chemist and man
ufacturer is drawn to the opportunities
and necessities created by the war he
will not be slow to act. Buttons,
hooks and eyes, combs of hundred
different kind, cutlery, tools, mechan-
ical and scientific instruments, indeed
the possibilities for American genius
and enterprise is practically unlimited.
The possibilities for the financier are
even greater and vastly more far-reach-
ing. After the war America will be
the worlds banker. European f.
nances will be in a chaotic condition.
What funds are available will be need
ed to rehabilitate European industries
and enterprises. She will be a Dor
rover where she has been lender.
The American mind is right now
graphing with all the facts and con-
ditions here mentioned, not even wait
ing for peace, we'll knowing it must
come as certain as night follows day.

Ananias Magnum

There has never been any complaint
OF dearth of liars. Liars Of every
shade and condition have existed time
out OF mind, but it remained for the
European war to develop a new and
peculiar variety of the tribe Ananias,
for which particular variety the name
in the caption is suggested. The war
has been lied at from every angle save
one. 1t has so far not been denied
that there is actually war in progress.

No Bread Famine in the United State:
this Year

this Year
There will be no bread famine in
the United States this year. The lar
gest wheat crop in history has just
been harvested, and according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture the total production is approx
imately o11,000,0000 bushels; nearly
15O,O00,000 bushels more than any
previous crop produced in the United
States. We have at least ESQ, 900, 900
bushels OF wheat which are not needed
for consumption at home or for seed.
The surplus production of the United
States usually goes to Europe, but I'M
der present conditions, caused by the
European war, this cereal cannot cross
the ocean. About $4,000, 900 bush
els have already been taken for export,
but most of it is being held at the
ports of departure.
Conditions across the water are not
so encouraging. The war in Europe
tends to prevent the shipment of
wheat from surplus European countries
to those which need imports-for ex-
ample-from Russia to France, and a
famine there seems inevitable.

Are you better off now than you

Are you satisfied?
If you believe in the principles of
the Republican party, If you are con-
vinced that these principles are best
for the country, then prove it by
voting for your standardbearer, Rob-
ert A. Booth, Republican candidate
for the United States Senate.
You know that under Republican
presidents the people of the United
States have good times.
You know that under Democratic
presidents you have Democratic
times.
Remember the prosperity under
Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft.
Remember conditions under CieVe-
land and Wilson.
The issue in this campaign is not
one of personality. 1t is not one of
non-partisanship. 1t is a question of
whether you prefer prosperity under
Republican administration.
Do you have work enough? Are
your wages good? Is your business
what you want 1t to be?
II you are satisfied with present
conditions, well and good; If you be-
lieve that the present situation is
better than under Mckinley, Roose-
velt and Taft, you know what to do.
The way to bring back prosperity is
to help elect Republican Senate.
