Looking Farther Back for the Fault.
(Inland Empire News.)

The editor of this paper was a
travelling statesmen when Woodrow
Wilson was elected to Office and was
working out of Spokane. We have
recently heard a good deal of talk
about the present Democratic admin
istration being responsible for the
slump in the lumber industry that
has prevailed the past year or two.
We have also read considerable about
it. In 1912 Spokane was our head
quarters in our work as travelling
salesman. We made every town
along the Great Northern from Spo-
kane to the Dakota line and on one
trip along that route we found that
there wasn't single lumber mill
running-every one shut down. There
wasn't a logging crew working in the
Kalispell vicinity in the year 1928.
whereas there had formerly been
more than a million dollars year
paid out there in logging during the
winter season. Now what we would
like to know is how anyone can figure
out that the Democratic adminstra-
ton is responsible for the slump in
the lumber industry in the North
west? Answer: 1t is not. If the
fault lies anywhere, it lies with the
previous Republican administrations,
Just as have all the hard times that
we have been experiencing. The fact
is that had the Republicans been con-
tinued in Office times would have
been a lot harder than they have
been or are now because there would
have been no currency bill passed to
prevent panics, such as the Demo-
Gratis at once put on the statute books
when they got into power. The
people will do we'll to bark back a
couple of years, or three or four. to
search for the why's and wherefores
Of hard times. They won't be able
to locate the fault with the present
Democratic administration, that Is
sure.

Loses Cherished Jewel,

e. T. Young Of Mud Bay, we'll
known in Olympia and throughout
the county because of his long resi-
dence here, lost a $3.50 diamond
stickpin in Seattle last Saturday
when the setting was clipped from
the pin as he was wearing it in his
necktie. Mr.. Young had worn the
jewel constantly for A years and
priced it highly. The theft was re-
ported to the Seattle police but no
trace of it has yet been found. The
pin was a particularly pretty rose dia-
mond set in a cluster of four smaller
diamonds.

THE MAIL ORDER
TEN COMMANDMENTS
A Sarcastic Sermon to the
Farmers and Townspeo-
pie who Send for Sup
plies to Big Cities Instead
Of Buying at Home.

. :. :. :. :. :. :. :. :. = !. :. :. :. =
(From the Mineola (Tex.) Monitor.)
The following ten commandments
are offered for the guidance of cata-
logue-house patrons:
l. You shall sell your farm prod
ucts for cash whenever you can, but
not to us. We do not buy from you.
2. You shall believe our state
ments and buy all you need from us,
because we want to be good to you,
although we are not personally ac-
quainted with you.
8. You shall send the money in
advance to give us a chance to get
the goods from the factory with your
money; meanwhile you will have to
wait patiently for weeks, as that is
our business methods.
4. You shall apply to your near
est city to aid you in building good
roads so that you can conveniently
get the goods from the depot, for we
do not build country roads.
You shall buy church bells and
church fixtures from us and forward
the money in advance for this is our
business method, and you shall col
lect from the business men in your
city as much money as you can for
the benefit of the churches, for it is
against our rules to donate any
money for country churches.
s. You shall buy your tools from
us and be your own mechanic in
odder to drive the mechanics from
your vicinity, for we wish it so.
z. You shall induce your neigh
Dor to buy everything from us, as
we have room for more money-the
less money you have in your COM
munity the sooner we can put your
local merchant out of business and
charge you any price we please.
s. You shall look often at the
beautiful pictures in our catalogue
so that your wishes will increase
and SO you will send in big orders
although you are not in immediate
need of the goods, otherwise you
might have some money left to buy
some necessary goods from your
local merchant.
8. You shall have the merchants
who repair the goods you buy from
us book the bills SO you can send
the money for his labor to us for
new goods, otherwise he will. not
notice our influence.
10. You shall in case of sick
ness or need apply to your local
dealer for aid and credit, as we do
not know you, nor care to.

(Raymond Review.)
The writer during last week made
a rather extensive trip to several
points in this state and also to AS
toria and Portland in Oregon. The
general opinion is that business is
generally improving. Some Of the
leading financiers of Portland declare
that by the first Of July the worst Of
our troubles will be over and the
country travelling at rapid pace to-
ward renewed prosperity. II the
great European war shall cease some
time in July or August, business men
generally prophesy great boom in
the lumber business for the Pacific
Northwest. Whether the war termi-
mates or not, the enormous balance
in favor Of the United States is grad.

ing conditions, and a marked revival
of business is in sight. This is en-
couraging, and should spur every
business man to renewed effort to
keep his business moving for the
next 30 days. for without any reason

The Retailer and the Farmer.
yakima Republic.)

An Ellensburg grocer replies to a
farmer who complains that he cannot
sell his stuff in that town by saying
that it is not the retailers function
to handle all the stuff produced in
the country. That is probably true.
but when retailers in small towns
conclude to make it their business to
help the farmer in every way they
can to dispose of his produce these
dealers will have much less cause for
complaint because he sends his money
away to the mail order houses. Buy
ing at home will always depend a
great deal on the chances for selling
at home.

Everybody Working for Good Times.
(Reardan Gazette.)
One Of the best assurances we
nave that this is to be big year for
misunderstanding that of farming
is that everybody except a few
pessimists are working for it. The

without works is dead" seems to
