JOHNSON MEN PLEASED
BY NEW YORK RESULTS

NEW YORK. April s.-Campaign
managers for United States Senator
Hiram w. johnson were not at all
discounted by the result OF the New
York State Republican primaries.
Without organisation. all but penni-
less, opposed by bitterly hostile and
superbly equipped machine, followers
of the Californian cast over one fourth
of the total vote.
This was accomplished, despite the
fact also that the johnson candidates

preference secret Many OF the op-
ponents are hackers Of Wood. Lowden
Harding. Butler, Pershing, Poindex-

Few of US escape measles-it

mistake that most mothers make
S in failing to realize that the

the eruption and fever disappear .
The air passages are still inAamed
and If this Inflammation is not
cleared up. the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving the
way for pneumonia or serious
disease of the lungs.
Nightly applications of Vick's
VapoRub will aid nature in
relieving this Inflammation. Be
cause Vicks acts locally by stim-
ulation thru the sin to draw
out the inflammation, attract the
blood away from the congested
spots and relieve the cough. In
addition, the medicinal ingre-
dents of Vicks are vaporized by
the body heat. These vapors

enerally understood. As a matter of
fact, it is something much greater
than a simple trade or a commercial
proposition, because the stores, by
their presentation and publicity in
regard to fine goods, have done much
to increase the culture of the country
and to increase our appreciation of
quality.
"On the other side it imposes a
distinct responsibility on the stores
to see that their offerings are quail
ity offerings and that fabrics should
be of such design or pattern as is in
conformity with good taste"
The Public Will Follow
The third stage of this story deals
with the fact that the buying public
will always follow the line of the
least resistance. A mail order cata-
logue laid down at the door by
postman gaudily embellished with
pictures, suggestions for the home
and the kitchen, and full instructions
on how to get these articles, with
the exact prices, makes an easy
victim. But on the other hand, the
local merchant has still greater op-
portunity to reach the buyer, because
he is close at home and can offer
to show the goods themselves to the
purchaser. The difference is that
the mail order catalogues make it
easy to buy, and often the local mer-
chant makes no effort to reach the
purchaser through the channel of
printed matter. As a general rule,
the lowest prices are quoted by the
largest advertisers, for the reason
that their annual overturn of goods
is increased just in proportion to
their publicity.
AS | notice the gradual encroach
of Spokane, Seattle, Portland and
eastern advertising in the newspapers
of this county, | am led to believe
that these advertisers are finding a
fertile field here for their wares.
The prosperous condition of the coun-
ty is evidently known to the out
side business world, and it is not
strange that our dollars are inter
esting the markets of the country.

CONVENTIONS
AND TALKS ON POTATOES
lBY the Occasional Nisitor.l

The county agriculturist had an
article on the stockmens meet in last
weeks Examiner 1t seems that the
stockmen cannot raise sufficiently
good calves and cows unless they get
together once in awhile to talk it
over. And very learned and profound
their talk sounds to the layman. How
ever, the latter is not surprised at
their wisdom because for many moons
his reading has been impressing upon
his subconscious mind the fact that
the knowledge of stockmen is more
than the knowledge of common men.
He takes their cOnvocations as a mat
ter of course. All profound subjects
require the converting of their devo-
tees.
But he gets a distinct shock when
he learns of nine projected meets Of
potato-growers! Why potato meets
In his day he planted potatoes in the
good old way of his parents and
grandparents unto the I'd and 3d
generations. In due time he hoed
them in the same good old way, and
later yet he knocked the bugs into
tomato can and cremated them with
the assistance of little kerosene oil.
He really would like to know what
they do nowadays to the Murphies
that is so strange and new and su
perior.
However, it is all right if the nine
meets will result in the growing of
nine potatoes where only one grew
before. Perhaps the price might
come then down to nine cents hun
