WHY IT PAYS TO READ THE ADS.

Mrs. Housewife, if you picked up
your favorite family paper this evening and
saw a new baking powder advertised, would
you try that brand tomorrow? Hardly
Why? Because you do not know the brand.
How do you become familiar, then, with
most of your household necessities? Why,
through advertising. An article that you
see advertised continuously appeals to you.
Your good sense tells you that it must be
right, else it could not remain on the mar
ket. And what advertising is to an indi-
vidual article it is to a business institution
Advertising draws trade to store If that
store continues to advertise, it is satisfy
ing it's customers. No business can amount
to much without advertising, nor can ad-
vertising do any business any good unless
that business lives up to it's ADVERTISE
ments. Here, then, is plainly seen why it
pays to trade with the continuous adver-
isers. That is the secret of the mail order
busness-the Mail Order Houses keep their
advertisement before the people all the time
in the form of catalogues.

No Train Today;
 Track Washed Out

Although it had been expected that traffic would be resumed through to Chatanika today on the Panama Valley railroad, it was announced las, night that there will be no train today, on account of the fact that the track along Goldstream has been washed out by the high water. Whether or not there will be a train tomorrow is matter of con lecture, depending on whether the water on Goldstream goes down or not.
 The engines of the railroad are now at Fox, having been compelled to remain there last night. The incoming passengers came to town on the gasoline auto car of the rail road. having made polling boat out of the car when crossing the DOT ton of the track on Goldstream which is flooded and in practically a floating condition.

LONDON, May 21.-The British government has given formal notice to the neutral powers of the world to the effect that Great Britain will in no wise modify the blockade on German ports which has existed practically since the commence ment oe the war The only conces- sion which will be granted is 10 the American Red Cross society, which will be allowed to send hos pital supplies to Germany, provid ing it is ascertained that the sup plies are not used otherwise than in attending to absolutely incapici- tated soldiers of Germany or help less widows and orphans
 Lord Cecil Roberts declares that there is not the slightest chance of a modification of the blockade as far as the Germans generally are concerned. Such action. he says, would be suicidal to Great Britain, for the reason that the

BERLIN, May 21.-What is re garded in even military circles as a great diplomatic victory is the announcement made by officials Of the diplomatic corps today to the effect that Roumania has decided to sign q treaty with Germany per hitting the exportation of foodstuffs and other supplies from that coun- try.

 hUGhEs WINS IN OREGON
 PORTLAND, Ore, May 21.-After all of the returns had been received from the various precincts through out the state, it was announced from Republican state headquarters here last night that the Republican primary election had resulted n the endorsement of Charles F.. Hughes for the Republican nomina- tion for the presidency of the United States. Senator Cummins came sec ond, the vote being close. although not so close as to necessitate a re- count. The vote for Roosevelt and the other prospective nominees of the party al the national convention in Chicago. amounted to but very little. The endorsement of Hughes was particularly gratifying to a num- Der of local politicians, for the req. son that Senator Cummins had stumped the state soliciting votes for himself or for Theodore Roose- welt, and denouncing Hughes.
 The newspaper reports received here from other places in the state show that the women's vote was a large factor in the endorsement of Hughes. In fact. it is thought that when all returns are in and the voting lists gone over officially, 1t will be found that Hughes would not have been endorsed but for the womens vote.
 PORTLAND, May 21-A recount of the primary vote here shows that the vote for Hughes exceeds that of Cummins and Burton com bined.

ROME, May 21-It now looks like Roulnania will be forced to take sides in the great European war. The reason is that she has been found guilty of selling supplies to the Germans, representatives of the allies making statements to the eff feet that a treaty regarding sup plies now exists between the leu tonic allies and Roumania. By some it is even asserted that Roumania has been furnishing supplies to the Teutonic armies for some time past, thus enabling them to continue the struggle.
 France has already ordered her minister to Bucharest to return home, and 1t is believed that Great Britain and Italy will shortly do likewise. Russia asserts that she will sever diplomatic relations with the little country in the war zone which has so far managed to keep from becoming embroiled in the European war, unless an eXplana- tion of the treaty between Roumana and Germany Is forthcoming immedi, ately.

DETROIT. Mich, May 2l-In de- llvcring a speech in this city on Fri day, Col Theodore Roosevelt lit erally attacked Henry Ford, the peace lion, in his own lair, for be denounced Ford and his follow paci- fists in strong terms. He said that the peace lovers of the nation were willing that the whole country shou'd be turned over to any invader who happened to come along, and that no opposition should be given said invader, on account of their inter. est in keeping peace throughout the world. In closing his speech he reiterated his opposition to any kind of hyphenated American, stat ing that those who do not believe in preparing the country against the coming of an invader are not true sons of liberty.
