AS TO THE RAILROADS

m HERE are people who OBJ
W ject to hard surface roads
to the Columbia river on
the ground such action will
hurt the railroads. They class
those who support good roads
as fighting the railroads"
1t is silly to say such things.
There is not the slightest ami
mostly towards the railroads
on the part of anyone. Nor is
it unfair to the railroads to
work to bring this county the
advantages Of the open river.
They expect people to do that
very thing.
1t is natural that commerce
shall follow the easiest and
cheapest routes. If through
building roads to the Columbia
the people of the inland en-
pire can provide cheaper trans
portation and can force down
rail rates it is up to them to do
20. Those who oppose such eff
forts attempt to fight nature
and the economic prosperity Of
this district.
Here is another point. II
roads are built to Wallula, to
Cold Springs and to Umatilla
those roads will have a direct
connection with rail lines as
well as with the river. If the
railroads can meet the river

MODERN ADVERTISING

~ HE business of advertis-
W ing has undergone re.
markable changes with.
in the last 10 years. Advertis-
ing has become more truthful
more specific, more interesting
and more effective.
/ Advertising is nothing more
nor less than making your bus
mess known. 1t is a dignified
method through which a busi-
ness house may communicate
directly and speedily with its
patrons. The value of adver-
tising is based on the fact that
other things being equal a pat
ron will, deal with the house
with which he is the best ac-
quainted.
Modern advertising deals
more in specific facts than gen.
eral statements and there is
less boasting than formerly. 1t
has been found that mere brag-
ging is not effective advertis-
ing.
A very good authority on ad-
vertising has offered the fol-
lowing suggestions to those who
would advertise effectively:
l, Advertising should be
reckoned as part of your busi-
ness. 1t is as necessary as the
sign over your door. 1t is not
an occasional nor an outside
matter, it is essential. How can
the public do business with you
unless they know about you?
2. 1t should be regular and
constant. People trade with
the firm whose name is familiar
to them. The newspaper ought
to be your partner. If you are
in business permanently let
your advertising be permanent.
3. The newspaper, going
daily into the hands of the peo-
pie, is the best medium for ad-
vertising. It's where the pub
lie naturally turn when they
want to see where to buy,
whether bonds or beans.
A. Advertising should be at
tractive. The most attractive
thing you can put in it is some
thing that appeals to the self
interest of the reader. If you
can show a woman where she
can save 10 cents, or where
she can buy stuffs that last
longer and wear better, it is
much more to your advantage
than to crack jokes.
5. Be human. Make your
advertisement as live and warm
as you can. Don't be too cold
and precise.
6. Tell the truth. When
customers come to your store,
do a little more for them than
you said you would in your an
nouncement. The prosperity
of the liar is brief.

SOME OFFICIAL JITNEY
DATA.

ia CUSTOM supplies the
b first official data on the
jitney bus. The figures
indicate clearly why traction
interests deem the jitney a SER
ious menace to their prosper
ity.
Earnings of the street rail-
way system were $4,000 less
in November, 1914, than in No
vember, 1918. In January,
1915, earnings fell $4,000 be-
low January, 1914; in Febru-
airy, 1915, the loss was $4,000,
and in the first % days of
March $4,000. The traction
company's usual comfortable
margin of profit was in 1914
turned into a net operating loss
of nearly 100000. Traction
officials inform the city that if
jitney competition continues
their loss for 1915 will be
$400,00O.
On March II, 656 jitneys
carried $4,000 passengers a to-
tai of $4,000 miles, earning ST.
1870. Forty-three jitneys ran
on regular routes; the others
operated at will, most of them
only in the morning and night
rush hours. These figures are
given in the traction company's
annual report to the city; jit-
ney men say they did much
better.
With city governments as a
rule steadfastly refusing to leg
islate jitney cars out of bust
ness with an apparently ex-
haustless supply of cheap Sec
0nd-hand motor cars to recruit
the service, with summers
coming sure largely to increase
jitney patronage, and with
every added mile of paved
street opening up new jitney
routes from downtown direct
to the passengers home, trac-
ton men begin at last to see
that the iitney is no joke.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

THIS MAY ENTERTAIN
MEN.

A little girl wrote the following
composition on men: Men are what
women marry. They drink, and
smoke and swear. but don't go to
church. Perhaps. If they wore bon
meta, they would. They are more
logical than women and also more
geological. Both men and women
sprung from monkeys. but the Nom-
en- sprung farther than the men.

RAISING FLOWERS.

One of the most distinctive charac- teristics of the old fashioned Ameri- can home was the love for flowers.
 Modern gardening with many peo- pie runs to the cultivation of shrub bery. It is lazy mans way of beauifying his home, and if skilIfu1- ly handled Is effective. Perennial shrubs break the hard lines of the lot, and make the home seem a, nest shrubs ever have that vividness of color that is to be found in such old favorites as larkspur, hollyhock or ph1ox.
 These are busy times. The mother may have found leisure to plant, weed, and fight pests But the daugh- ter is more apt to be riding in an automobile, or attending the card parties.
 Thus it often happens that the
 older women are left to do the while the daughters are living their busy life. Gardening has nothing of the spirit of competition that leads younger people to perfect themselves in bridge or tennis. It is a con l temp1ative, restful diversion, appeal
 ing to the spirit of philosophical l thought of older persons. Men spend money for the artificial i creations of the florist, but not many l of them raise flower gardens now
 adays with their own hands. Their
 minds are too much absorbed with l the problem of getting a living, and 1 they would probably rather raise | corn or beans. Also their sense of | the beauty of color is rather rudi- l mentary.
