Helping Cotton Sales

That the patriotic movement
10 help the South and buy n
Bale Of Cotton" is spreading
among the captains Of industry
and heads Of "big business" is
indicated by the latest recruit
10 the ranks-the Regal Shoe
Company. which operates 100
stores of It's own throughout the
United States and has 800
agents.
In the letter. reproduced be-
low, which has been received by
the sponsors of the Buy a Bale
of Cotton" movement, Il. j.
Bliss, president of the Regal
Shoe Company. pledges the
hearty support of that well
known organization to the plan
to help the South. The letter is
as follows:
Boston, Mass, October 1st, 1914.
Dear Sirs:-
Accept our congratulations
for originating a simple, prac-
tical method for financing the
cotton crop, and we want to let
you know that we cordially en-
dorse your activity in promot-
ing the commercial interests of
the South and indirectly bene-
fiting the whole country through
the buy a Bale Of Cotton"
movement.
We believe that you have
started something" and a
patriotic movement of this sort
that will result in a national
benefit to the country as a whole
will sweep aside all prejudice
and jealousies, and you will re.
ceive the hearty cooperation of
every big publication in the
country. We have Joined the
movement in a small way, but
we want to do more.
For every pair of Regal Shoes
sold in our stores for sixty days,
beginning October 1st, we agree
to purchase one pound of cotton
at ten cents a pound. We are
instructing each of our stores
throughout the country to place
an order for cotton every week |
on this basis.
We might explain that the |
sales in out stores for cores
ponding period last year would |
indicate that our purchases, in
accordance with this arrange
ment, would probably amount to
about 1872, ,748 pounds of cotton.
We know the idea will inspire
enthusiasm in every man in our
employ, and we will devote
prominent window space for APP
propriate display in every store
and are making arrangements to
give the plan the fullest possible
publicity. Yours very truly, Re-
gal Shoe Company. +. j. Bliss,
President.
Mr.. Bliss brings down the
Buy a Bale of Cotton" move
ment to a popular level. In
stead Of talking bales to the
philanthropist he talks pounds
TO the public. and allows every
purchaser OF Regal Shoes to con-
tribute his individual share to
move the crop.
In every Regal store there has
been installed a large sales ther-
mometer." showing the weekly
gains in the purchases of cotton,
as the sales Of shoes send them
up.
Moreover. life size and minia-
ture bales of cotton are used TO
keep popular enthusiasm boiling
and TO heighten interest in the
welfare of the country's greatest
industry.
From the volume of sales al
ready recorded. it is probable
that the purchases of cotton in
stores operated by the Regal
Shoe Company will exceed the
surprising total of 200. 900 !
pounds.
Mr.. Bliss has received letters I
from many men eminent in
political and commercial life
.ongratulating him on his !
patriotic stand to help the South !
IN its time of need. I

Eght-H0ur Law
For Fire-Fighters

An announcement has been made
BY Labor Commissioner Hoff that the
eight-hour law is applicable to forest
fire fighters. says the Grants Pass OBJ
server, and that they are entitled to
double time for overtime, will double
the cost of forest fire fighting this
season, according to State Forester
Elliott
The state labor commissioners holds
that the eight-hour law is applicable
because the fire fighters are employed
by the state, and while criminal prose-
eution will not lie for working them
moro than eight hours as the fires
constitute emergencies, the emergency
fighter must be paid double time for
overtime, he holds.
I'VE have not been paying over
time" said State Forester Elliott,
but If this ruling is law, presume
we must ] figure that it will in
crease the cost of fire fighting two
fold and during the season increase 1t
by thousands OF dollars. Though the
damage to timber so far is inconse-
quential, and there are no serious
fires raging, a large force is necessary
this season to prevent fires from
spreading, and the expense will be
hsayy."

A True Test OF
Civic Pride

There are other tests of civic pride
and of loyalty to ones town besides
those OF always boosting. One OF
these is fairness and honesty in the
use of municipal and other privileges.
We wonder If the man who permits
his hose to run in vioaltion of the city
regulations or who permits his hy-
drant to waste water, thus perhaps
depriving his neighbor of needed wa
ter, realizes that he is unfair and
is not doing his best to serve his
city or living up to the ideals OF
good citizenship. Just why a man
or woman who would scorn to filch
a penny in cash from a neighbor will
rob the city of water or electricity
without qualm is question in psy-
chology hard to answer. Neverthe-
less tits fact. 1t is this disregard
of the rights of the municipality and
of others which is the deep-rooted
cause of graft in America. Were it
considered as dishonest to steal indi-
rectly as directly there would be less
OF it. A glance at the hydrants and
lawns of the city will show many a
person prominent in civic boosting
chronically disobeying the regulations
made for the protection of all.

Lawyers Doubt
Vests Authority

Local attorneys are skeptical as to
the right of Governor West to close
the hunting season. One well-known
attorney stated that the section under
which the governor is supposed to
have acted gives him the right to
close the season as to any particular
game when 1t is for any unusual reas-
on in danger of extinction, but says
he can find no authority for prohibit
ing all hunting. Other attorneys ex-
pressed themselves to the effect that
law had little respect with the gov
ernor when 1t crossed his wishes.
A local game warden stated that
he believed that the closing of the
season, while an unwarranted slap at
the hunters, would do good in that
it would interest the hunters in cap
turing the man who set the fires. He
seemed to think that stockmen were
quite as likely to set fires to improve
the winter feed as were hunters to be
careless in the matter.

Southern Oregon
Source Of Wealth

THE mineral resources of Oregon
are beyond comparison with almost
all other portions of the country but
Oregon people seem to have no inter-
est in them nor care a straw for their
development" asserts C. w. Clapp,
formerly of Reno, New, in the Port
land Journal.
why, southwestern Oregon is a
veritable Colorado. 1t is full of rich
minerals waiting to be taken out and
processed. The black sands of Ore
gon streams are full of gold, plati-
mum and iron. Thorium and anti
mony exist in Oregon in abundance
as does nickel.
Last year the United States fur
nished only fraction of the world s
nickel supply, yet Oregon and Wash
ington alone with proper development
could produce over half.
Most of the worlds platinum sup
ply comes from the Ural mountains
Dut to the war, it has advanced in
price from $40 to $50 an ounce. Ore
gon has enough platinum to supply
the world.
"Thorium, used in coating gas
mantels, is found in southern Oregon.
1t brings $3.50 ton on the market.
The common everyday stones you
use between the street car tracks here
in Portland are full of iron which
can be drawn out by the new pro-
cesses at $25 ton less than it costs
to bring it from Pittsburg.
"Antimony, used in the making OF
type, has advanced 800 per cent in
the last ten days. 1t can be pro.
duced for cents a pound in Nevada
and brings 22 cents on the New York
market.
IF Oregon would wake up and
begin developing these mineral re
sources she would have a production
of 500, 100000 a year within five
years..
Mr.. Clapp deprecates the work o.
the Oregon bureau of mines and ge
ology.

2. Because the great majority of
women do not want pockets. If they
did, they would have them.
3. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as it is, without
the additional burden of pockets.
5. Because it would make dissen-
sion between husband and wife as to
whose pockets were to be filled.
6. Because it would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman If he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
Z. Because men are men and
women are women. We must not fly

8. Because pockets have been
used by men to carry tobacco, pipes,

compromising letters. We see no
reason to suppose that women would
use them more wisely.-New York

For Exposition

II. o. Frohbach wishes all those

FIe will prepare them for the south

rangements with Mr.. Hyland, the Of

place the agate exhibit with the show
fngs of Coos and Curry counties, who
