Figures do not always indicate the
price of goods sold by mail order
houses as scheduled in their price lists,
as the catalogue houses are careful
not to mention the extra" cost incl
dental to placing the order and the de-
livery Of the article ordered.
The consumer is governed by the
low catalogue price rather than the
delivery cost, the latter means, of
course, being the correct way Of deter
mining the cost of the article.
Consumer Buys Costly Saw.
As an example l reproduce herewith
conversation which recently took
place in a western town when a con-
sumer entered the local store and in
quired the price of a saw. The price
of the saw was 81. the merchant told
him.
Great gunsr' declared the cOnsum-
err 81 can get the same article from
a catalogue house for S1.50"
81 can't buy it for that price," said
the merchant "but will give it to you
on the same terms as the mail order
house. just the same"
"All right" replied the consumer.
"You can wrap it up and charge it to
me. and when settle in the fall will
pay for it,
"Hand Over the Cash."
"Oh, no, you don't" said the dealer.

"Well. by graciousp' he said and
gameIy paid 1t, with the remark, Nov

Man Made Mistake.
"Hand you the saw! Why, man,
where do you think you are2 Just rec
ollect that you are in Texas and 1 am
located in Chicago. You will have to
wait about fifteen days for me to make
the delivery" And, backing up his
words with actions, he pocketed the
money. put the saw back on the shelf
and smilingly turned to wait on the
next customer.
The consumer pondered, and after he
got through with his deductions he
said: "The saw will cost me $2.03.
That is 3 cents more than l could have
bought 1t for in the first place, and
am deprived of its use for etteen days
besides. No more mail order house for
me!'
Incident Worthy Of Emulation.
The incident related above is one
which both the merchant and the con-
sumner may read with profit, and If
more OF the merchants adopted the
same tactics as did the Texas mer-
chant they would have fewer mail or
der buyers among those who should be
their customers.
And there Is much more to this
question than price and delivery; there
are often dissatisfaction and inferior
and damaged goods to contend with. In
the case of goods being damaged en-
route the buyer has either the prospect
of q lawsuit with the railroad COM
pany or a correspondence fight with
the catalogue house, neither of which
is very inviting.
Not infrequently does the buyer,
rather than to go to all the expense
and trouble incidental to the exchange
of the article, allow himself to be i'm
posed upon by accepting the inferior
and often valueless article, an article
which he is actually ashamed to OVID
or use.
The Only Safe Way.
There can be but one right way to
buy goods, and that Is to have the
goods in view of the purchaser. Buy
ing from a picture is reckless form
of gambling in which the advantage
is entirely with the seller He knows
what your money is. You do not know
what his goods are. Hence it is heads
he wins and tails you lose.
That the catalogue house always gets
the better Of the bargain is evidenced
by the fact that annually the large
mail order houses declare dividends
the enormity Of which appalls and be-
wilders the conception Of ordinary in
dividuals, who count their profits and
savings In pennies rather than in mil
lions.
There is but one right way to buy
goods, and that way is to see what you
buy before you pay for 1t.

Safety First For Investors,

A conservative policy would prompt
all buyers of securities to invest at
least PARTON Of their capital in sound
bonds. Many investors have a prefer
ence exclusively for stocks because the
latter may render a higher yield or
may fuctuate more widely. thus offer
ing larger chances for speculative
profit. Dividend paying shares Of the
seasoned sDrt are not to be belittled,
and they will perhaps always form the
major portion of the average inves-
tors purchases. There is reasonable
safety In them. But tirmer corner
stones OF fortune" are found in the
better class bonds. These are not neces.
sarily gilt edged, but they are well Sc
cured. In times of prosperity the iSsu-
ing corporations have no difficulty in
meeting interest charges. In times of
depression dividends on stocks may be
suspended, but the enterprise must
pay interest on its bonds or submit to
foreclosure. And in such event the
bondholder rarely suffers loss. Their
high degree of stability and safety
commends good bonds as an indispen-
sable part of any we'll established es-
tate. -Leslie's Weekly.

Gets Water From Ditch Creek.

Oscar Minor was up to the head
waters of Ditch creek the first of the
week to look up the proposition of
turning a part of the water of that
creek into Willow creek. For this
purpose a ditch had been construct
ed across Ditch creek prairie last sea-
son and dam put in to divert the
water. Mr.. Minor found the ditch in
excellent condition and it required
but fifteen minutes work to mend
the dam and now the water is COM
ing down Willow creek. While it is
not very large stream, it helps in
keeping up the supply of water in
Willow creek. Willow creek has been
running pretty low at Heppner the
past week, owing to the fact that the
people above town have been using
the waters at lively rate. AS con-
sequence there has not been sufficient
water to supply the street sprinkler
and the people of Heppner have been
eating dirt at good rate, and it has
gone down well with the excessive
heat.

Fire Started BY Hot Sun.

Alex Green reports that a first
class fire was started at his home on
the north side of Alkali street last
Saturday afternoon, by the concen-
tration of the rays of the hot sun
through front window. The cur
tains were entirely burned and the
room under fair way to be badly
scorched when the fire was discov-
cred. Mr.. Green can account for the
fire in no other way than that the
suns rays were so reflected and con-
centrated on the curtains sufficient to
fire them.

ADVISORY WAR COUNCIL
IS CALLED BY SEC. BAKER

Washington, March 23.-Destruct-
ion of the Standard Oil tanker Heald-
ton, with consequent loss of 81 lives,
seven of them American citizens,
merely added today to the grave ten
sion in official circles. 1t increases the
list of the crimes which will be cited
to Congress by President Wilson
when that body meets one week from
next Monday. 1t is not expected that
any new action will be taken at this
time. The very fact that the anker
was torpedoed without warning al
most in the very shadow of the Ter
schelling lightship on the coast of
Holland intensihes the concern here
and brings it home to oficialdom that
no vessel now is safe anywhere on the
ocean from submarine frightfulness.
Complete official reports have been
requested by the State Department.
President Wilson is in direct charge
of all immediate defense preparations.
Elaborate reports of every detail are
kept before him, and until he has pre-
sented the situation to Congress he
will see only essential callers. At his
request Secretary of War Baker has
summoned the advisory council to
meet here tomorrow with the council
of national defense.
