PAPER ADVERTISING

One Of the most notable local ad-
vertising campaigns that has appeared
in the New York newspapers during
the past three months and which has
lust closed. is that of H. L. Doherty
& Co.. dealers in investment securi-
ties. The advertisements. fortv-three
in number. were printed in eighteen
Manhattan and Brooklyn dailies They
were set in eight-point type and US
ua,,v Occupied one full column.
William c. Freeman who wrote the
copv and who has style OF his own
took thrift a his principle theme IN
nrepar;ne the advertisements. he
showed by descriptive illustrations
how people of moderate means could

money and invest it in such man
ner that the capital would be safe ana
earn a better interest than is paid by
saving banks. The advertisements
were of the intimate. personal KIND

That the campaign has been sue
cessful is indicated by the fact that
over half a million dollars worth OF
securities have been sold. mostly to
small investors. during period OF

Proper Flower Arrangement.

The essential point in all flower ar
rangement is that there shall be form
and balance, yet that the composition
shall not be perfectly symmetrical, as
perfect symmetry is not found in ma
ture. In order to attain the desired
effect the flower stalks and branches
used are carefully bent and twisted,
and this work is done with such deli
cacy and dexterity as to conceal the
fact that their forms have been al
tered by artificial means.

A VERMONT SPRING SMUDGE.
Daniel L. Cady, in Burlington Daily News.


So well as smoke and never shall;
A smudge inside the garden fence
Is my idea of frankincense;
/ like to see the black smoke curl.
The specks descend, the ashes whirl;
I'd rather smell my neghbor's smudge
Than eat his iavorite daughters fudge.
That pungent, bittery, hartshorn smell
1t 'grees with you about as we'll;
Your wife comes a.snoring "Whew!
But, Sakes Alive! she likes it, too
1t stands for slicking.up with her.
A-cleaning house outdoors as twere,
thing that follows Winters snow
As me" does "ut" in Cicero.
There's any quantity to tell
About that smoky Springtime smell;
How much il prophesies and means
In terms OF corn and peas and beans
Each Whit that hits you with the wind
Extracts curse for things that's timed;
Each time the slender Aame-tongues fash
You get taste OF suckertash.
There amt no like or parallel,
l say again, to that there smell;
A tang so wholesome, entire,
It's fun to feed the garden FIRE;
The leaves that banked your house you pok
Along in hopes they'll smell and smoke
With last years corn and cabbage roots
And vines and tops and stumps and shoots.
There amt no other garden smell
Wherein all kinds OF perfumes dwell
The savory's summered scent II holds.

American Shrub Appreciated.

One American shrub which has been
received with great appreciation In
England, and which grows well there,
Is the gorgeous flame azalea, called by
the botanists azalea calendulaceum.
This plant was sent to Europe many
years ago, and perhaps is not grown so
widely now as II has been In the past,
owing to the great influx Of rhododen-

ADDRESSES GIVEN
AT LUNCH CLUB

Field Secretary Mcpherson, of the
Brotherhood movement of the Episco-
pal church, here from Denver to estab-
lish an organization of members of st.
Marks church, was one of the chief
speakers at the weekly meeting of the
Tuesday Lunch club. He talked on
Christianity in Business. Mr.. Nc
Pherson was the guest OF DR.. j. w.
Sifton.
Another speaker was G. t. Gala
CHER, of the Sacramento Valley, Cali
forna, who was the guest OF Leroy
Childs. Mr.. Gallagher declared that the
percentage of waste, due to better
methods of culture in Hood River orch
ards, was far less than in those of CAL
ifornia. He praised local growers for
the quality of their fruit, declaring
that Californians have come to look on
Hood River Spitzenburgs as the most
desirable apples to be obtained.
Z. 0. Blanchar and C. II. Vaughan
spoke on the community chest campaign
that will soon be undertaken here to
raise 81 500 for various charities. The
organizations of the campaign is near
ing completion, it was stated.

program for the session, scheduled for

AMENDMENT TO
LOAN ACT NEEDED

At the instance of Judge Derby,
who is now attorney for the State Land
Board IN Hood River county, j. X.
NickeIsen, joint senator from Hood
River and Wasco counties, according to
plans now materializing, will endeavor
to cooperate with Legislators of other
eastern Oregon counties to secure an
amendment to a Legislative enactment.
adopted nearly % years ago and which
prohibits the loaning of school money
on lands on which any lien, even
though it be public, already exists.
Judge Derby states that the attorney
general has rendered an opinion declar-
ing the prohibitory clause of the en-
actment effective, and thus loans on
land in Oregon irrigation districts are
contrary to the statute. Every county
in eastern Oregon, where water is
available and irrigation districts have
been formed, is vitally Interested IN
securing an early amendment 10 the
statute. Judge Derby states that
state school money loans here will
reach an approximate $375. 600, and the
major portion of these are on lands in
irrigation districts.
Attorneys, who have studied the law,
adopted before the day of the irriga-
tion district and other such public or
ganizations, which may entail public
liens on property. do not believe that
it was ever the Legislative intention
that the law contemplated such liens
to stand in the way of the loan OF
school funds. The legislative inten-
tion, it is stated, was TO prohibit the
loans of school money only where a
private lien or mortgage already at
tached to the property. If the ruling
of the attorney general were carried to
its logical conclusions, it is said, the
State Land Board would be unable to
lend money on property included IN a
bonded echoo district.
Local officials interested in the mat
ter declare that they have no intention
of foisting on the special session of the
legislature matter of small sectional
import. They declare that they con-
slider an emergency exists. Great
hardships will prevail here and in all
irrigated counties of eastern Oregon
unless the defect of the law is cured.
1t is also cited that the act of amend
ing the law would be a formality that
would consume but a negligible part OF
the time of the legislators.
The need for curing the law will be
cited to civic organizations OF all coun'
ties in which irrigation districts exist.
The Hood River Commercial club will
probably take a lead in the matter.
