Using.
A great many books and magazine
articles on advertising are published
Merchants and advertising writers
read these works, with the hope OF
getting definite ideas. But they are
frequently bewildered by too many
learned terms, too much talk about
psychology, PERCEPTION. apperception
and other philosophical phrases.
When the business man talks to a
single customer about some article,
ne has no trouble to express himself.
IN few words and plain every day
language, he tells the customer the
merits Of his goods. He does not make
big and unsupported claims.
Many advertising writer's, when they
take their pen in hand, think they
have got to evolve from their brain
some brilliant production OF wit and
humor. Instead, they should talk to
the newspapers thousands Of readers
jast as they talk to the single Gus
toner over the counter. Pick out q
few of their best bargains and at
tractive lines, and describes those
goods so that the reader can get a
good idea about them.
Many men persist IN advertising in
vague general phrases that convince
no one. "The best is the cheapest"
You buy right when you buy of us"
Best styles and lowest prices in thu
city"
Claims like these unsupported by /
any facts are not convincing. They |
help out sales. because any kind of |
advertising gives an impression that |
defniteness would be much more eff;

PORTLAND BUSINESS
IS IN FINE SHAPE

The labor situation in Portland re.
mains at normal, and there are no rea-
sons outstanding for expecting distrub-
ances in the near future. The print
ers' union have two new scales up for
consideration, and negotiations are
proceeding for increases in wages in
one or two other lines, but there is no
feeling of unrest generally PREVALENT
among the mechanics.
The ship yards are going ahead and
if labor strikes can be avoided, there is
every reason to believe that Oregon is
entering on an era of prosperity that
will not only last for period of years,
but will affect every section of the
state.
In the minds of many thinkers it is
believed that the world will ever again
abandon wooden ships as commerc
carriers. A fleet of wooden ships can
be builded and operated for the cost of
one large steel vessel. If the demand
for wooden ships shall continue the
Northwest must supply the greater
portion of them and in their construc-
tion a great army of men will be en-
ployed. Upstate districts will supply
the food and clothing and other neces-
sites for these workmen and their
families.

DR.. T. Yokoi, a professor of the I'm

Yasmui, a local Japanese merchant
who escorted the Nipponese educator
through the orchard districts last
week, left last week for Walla Walla,

cans harvest their crops of wheat.
The visiting Japanese professor is
making three months tour Of this
country, studying agricultural economy.
He planned on going directly from
Portland to Seattle, but on advice of
the Japanese Consul there, S. Akamatu,
he decided to study some of the
methods of fruit culture and grain

Mountain Guests See aurora Borealis

Guests of Upper Valley mountain
resorts were privileged rare treat for
several nights last week when dis
play of northern lights illuminated the
heavens. The first aurora borealis was
seen Wednesday evening. The display
was first seen by Elijah Coalman, from
his eyrie lookout at the summit of Mt.
Hood. Mr.. Coalman telephoned to
Cloud Cap Inn and the guests, some Of
whom had retired, assembled in front
of the hostelry to witness the heavenly
pyrotechnics.
The lights appeared first as vari-
colored halo around Mount Adams. 20
miles to the north. Later dancing rays
shot to the dome of the sky, and the
coloring was more vivid than that of a
rainbow. The lights vanished as sud.
denly as they appeared, and the hostel
ry guests, thrilled by the display, were
left to look only at the glimmer of dis
tant forest fires burning off to the
northwest of the mountains base.

Sheriff Finds New Use for CorncobS

A new use has been found for corn
cohs by Sheriff Johnson, who in addi-
tion to his official duties operates a
progressive West Side orchard place.
Mr.. johnson uses the cobs as shoppers
for the holes in his irrigation ditches,
which are bored to feed the rills of his
orchard fields. Ordinarily wooden
pegs are used for the flume plugs.
"But the corn cobs," says Sheriff
Johnson, ''beat wooden pegs so far
that will never use any more wood.
If for nothing else l would grow a
field of corn just to get eobs for flume
shoppers.
Sheriff Johnson. however, produces
enough corn for his livestock, and each
year saves the best of his crop for
meal. He is accustomed every month
to take turn" of corn to a local
grist mill, where the grain is turned
into corn pone material.

Forest Fires Annoy VacationiSts

The smoke from the forest fires in
the southwestern part of this county
formed an annoyance last week for
guests at mountain resorts, and parties
climbing to the summit of Mount Hood
were unable to see much of the sur
rounding landscapes because of the
dense haze. The worst of the fires has
been raging in the forests to the west
of the Upper Hood River Valley. As
suming menacing proportions the fire
called out a large number of Upper
Valley ranchers who aided forest rang
ers in keeping it under control.
The fires, it is said, have been set
through the csrelessness of campers.

It ia not often that Leesburg has
a building TO catch fire. 1t seems
that Providence helps us to fight
the few we have had. The dam
age to this town by fire for the past
ten years has been almost negligi-
BILE. This blessing to us has caused ,
more or less, feeling Of security
entirely unwarranted. We cannot
expect this streak OF luck to extend
indefinitely. The small blaze we
had last Saturday demonstrated
TO us that the town had absolutely
no fire protection beyond the good
viii and able bodies of our citizens,
and a good supply Of artesian wells,
1t is always good time to take
precaution against misfortune. The
town needs fire protection. This
fact is not disputed, what can we
do, and how can we arrange, con-
sidering our resources, to get the
best protection for the least money.
Considering the facts that the town
has no wa.erworks system. that the
buildings are badly scattered, and
that we have few tall buildings, it
seems that good chemical engine,
mounted on Ford truck, would
come nearer being what we need
than anything else. They don't
cost much. The upkeep would be
small and they are easily handled.
The damage from me ordinary
burned residence would pay for one.
No taxpayer would object to the ex-
psnditure Of the City funds for this
purpose. We suggest the City Coun-
Gil discuss this matter.
