Taking Salmon from Spofford Lake.

Local fishermen will be interested to
know that a few land-locked salmon of
large size are now being caught at Spot
ford lake. Those caught thus far have
ranged in weight from FIVE or six
pounds up to II pounds. The fishermen
report that only a few bass are being
caught and these are rather small in
size, and they think that possibly the
bass are now scarce enough to insure
the survival of the lake trout and sal
mon, in which case much better fishing
lis anticipated in year or two

ADVERTISING AND COSTS.

Some men can think up queer ar
guments when trying to sell goods.
For instance, dealer the other day
said: 81 don't advertise, so I can
give you what save in that way in
the cost Of the goods"
1t was noticed that the man kept
no clerks. He could do all the bust
ness there was for him on that basis
without assistance. 1t would have
been just as logical for him to say:
Il keep no clerks, so l save that ex-
pense, and ! give you the difference"
Anything that increases business
should reduce expenses. When a
man increases sales by advertising
or by keeping more help, the cost of
selling any article, II the business is
well managed. should be less than
before. The small and non-adver-
tised business has too much overhead
expense for its volume Of sales. As
a matter Of common experience, it is
not able to give low prices.

RICH MEN AND THE DRAFT.


The requirement Of equal service
by the conscription law is going to
put some hard problems up to the
exemption boards. AS far as young
married men go. the law seems to
bear down harder on the rich than
on the poor, condition different
from that existing in previous wars.
The wage-earning class of young
married men are going to escape con-
scription, as their wives are depend
ent on their labor. But apparently
the class Of wealthy young married
men will not secure exemption, as
their wives are not depending on
their labor, but are provided for out
of the family property and capital.
1t will take firm sense of duty for
the exemption boards to enforce the
law impartially.
Feeling that there is an inconsisr
tency here, many young men of
wealth will claim exemption. It re-
mains to be seen how the exemption
boards will pass on these cases.
In the old times of titled nobility
il was considered the mark of aris-
tocracy for man to show a certain
Indifference to danger. Noblesse
oblige compelled him to display some
contempt of peril in good cause
We have discarded aristocratic no.
tions now. but every son of wealth
at least aspires to be known as a gen.
tleman, and a gentleman. be he rich
or poor, should show something of
this fine old spirit OF valuing his
honor highest in life.
II will be hard parting for many
young married men of wealth, but
lots of them are going out of pure
patriotism. They have the comfort
Of knowing that their families are
provided for in any event. Their
wives do not feel any worse than the
of the poor boys. Most of
them will return, and will be for
ever heroes. They can do lots of
good at the front. They are usually
bright, educated fellows who have
seen good deal of life and they
can help straighten out things won
derfully.

with Mr.. Mccormick, in Ashland and
was much interested in our develop

again on this trip, but demands
proved so pressing he was unable to
do so.

THE RETURNED GOODS ABUSE,

AS things have been going in many
places, when an article was sold out
of store on credit, 1t was practical
ly sent out on trial. The purchaser
could muss it over and discuss II
with friends. II he repented, or
someone else said 1t could be bought
cheaper somewhere else, back came
the goods. There were delivery and
express charges for someone to pay.
Clerks had to take time to get the
goods back into stock. Frequently
they were partly spoiled by handling.
People imagine this practice costs
them nothing. But If goods have to
be sold twice over, double the force
of clerks is required and the public
pays.
This system has grown out of I'M
tense competition in retail trade.
Merchants permitted practices to
grow up that are unbusinesslike and
do not exist in other lines of trade.
When a commercial house sells a
bill of goods, it is sold. Concerns
that countermand orders are not con-
sidered good customers and some
times face lawsuits.
The public will take any favor it
can get, and 1t likes more time at
home to hesitate and deliberate over
purchases. But second thoughts may
be no better than first. After a
woman has returned dress she may
regret her decision second time and
wish she had kept it after all.
The government has called atten-
tion to this practice as costly, and
has asked that it be discontinued.
People may well take all the time
they want to consider purchases. If
clerks get impatient and huffy, let
the public patronize places where the
salespeople are more obliging. But
when a purchase is made, it should
be considered as a binding agree
ment unless defects appear in the
goods. In such cases 1t is up to the
seller to make good and supply an
article that shall be as represented.
Otherwise the return practice is cost
ly and should be stopped.

more students of the day classes and
the 300 or more of the evening class

men and women taking the corre-
spondence courses, with residences in
all parts of the world, he begins to
realize that Dwight L. Moody, the
founder of the Institute, was a man
of faith, vision and purpose, and that
those who follow in his steps are
following in the right direction. The
visitor leaves the Institute with fresh
courage for his own life, and the con-
viction that life is really worth while
If spent in the right way.

Ole
Peoples Forum
Tubercular Conference.

Editor Tidings: 1t will undoubt-
edly be of interest to your readers to
know that the Northwestern Tuber-
culosis Conference will hold its first
session at Portland October Is and
16. This conference is under the di-
rection of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis and is held to bring work
ers in the northwestern states into
closer relations with each other and
to enable them to discuss their COM
mon problems.
Membership in this association is
by no means restricted to physicians,
but it is especially desired that all
classes in the community shall be
represented and shall take an active
part in the work Of the association.
This conference is particularly i'm
portant at the present time because
of the increase in tuberculosis that
the war has already caused and prob
ably will continue to cause. Those
working to prevent tuberculosis
should attend this conference, where
they will be able to perfect their
methods and extend the possibilities
Of their work.
Anyone who wishes to receive pro-
grams or obtain other information
about this work may do so by writing
to Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, 500 Cor
beet building, Portland, Ore.
Very respectfully,
GEO. o. JARVIS.

THE FARM TRACTOR.

Our people last spring were con-
fronted by an almost impossible situ-
alton. They had Just entered the
war, and our allies were clamoring
for bigger food supplies. And yet
the supply of farm help was way
down, and likely to be reduced
great deal further by military service
and war industries.
Furthermore, the cold winter
greatly damaged winter wheat. The
prospects for the crops in the face of
the greatest need in our history were
the worst for years.
In this emergency the farm trac-
tor proved godsend. Who can at
tempt list of the tasks 1t has full
filled? It has plowed the fields,
planted crops, cut hay, harvested
wheat, dragged the crop to market,
and what not.
It was indeed thrilling sight this
summer on the fields of Kansas and
other states to see the multitude Of
thest sturdy little machines filling
the place of our depleted labor sup
ply. In the darkness of midnight,
when ever before in the history of
fha uorld MON moe oiaanipo ond tha
face of nature was at rest, here we're
a multitude of tractors working with
night gangs by the light of automo-
bile lamps. Verify the glaring head
light, which the motorist so curses
when he meets It on the road at
night. proved friend in need, as it
lighted up the treacherous footing
and made night labor possible.
The tractor has helped pull us out
of very bad hole Now the time
has come to see how its use can be
made so general as to get us through
the special needs Of the war and
thereafter to reduce the costs of
farming. Things have come to the
point where machinery must take
the place of the depleted labor sup
ply.
A great many young and strug-
Cling ranchers will need financial
help to provide themselves with
these machines. Our financial inter-
ests should see that every rancher
who can make good use of such
equipment shall not be debarred
from it by lack of ability to buy it.
