The poor little giraffe's long neck!
Washington children just can't get
it out Of their heads. When they
think of the coming stranger they
pay little attention to his other
points, but concentrate on that neck
They seem to believe that the neck
is the giraffe. Only a few of them
are thinking about his pretty spotted
| coat, his slender, graceful legs or ms
mild, playful disposition.
Remember that that giraffe is one
of the very best, inoffensive, law
abiding inhabitants of jungle town
He isn't a roaring, clustering roust
about like the lion nor furtiVe
sneaking highwayman like the tiger,
Quite to the contrary. he Is perfect
gentleman. He minds his own busl
ness. keeps to his own home and
family as much as possible and never
willingly hurts any other living crea
ture.
Neck just an Accident.
After all. his neck is just an acci'
dent. It makes him look grotesque'
You've seen men with long necks-
how funny they look. They try &c
hide their necks when they go out in
company so little boys and girls won
snicker at them. Maybe that's the
way the giraffe feels about it.

10. A. C.. PROFESSOR
ON ADVERTISING

That the benefits Of presenS day
advertising are so great that they
are almost beyond the comprehension
Of the average individual, is the be-
lief of H. T. Vance, professor of adj
vertising and selling at Oregon Ag-
ricultural College. Il
"Adve1i Using is defined as printed
craftsmanship = and salesmanship is
the business of disposing of goods at
profit says Prof. Vance. "Adver-.
Using is costly but it is justified in
that it makes money, for profit is
the object of all dealers today Altho
advertising is designed solely to
bring greater prof, to the advertis-
er, it likewise results in increased
value to the consumer; and this re-
suit justifies advertising from the
standpoint of economic desirability.
"Some persons say that 80 percent
of advertising is waste and advise
against all but that which is essen
tial. In this belief they are wrong,
however, for advertising greatly in
creases the amount of business done
and enables the dealer to sell more
cheaply. Take for example grocery
store, which by spending $4,000
year was able to double its business.
Buying twice as many groceries
it could buy closer. But that is not
600 the fixed expenses were about
$4,000 or 80 percent. On double
the volume, expenses were little
more, plus $4,000 for advertising,
or about $4,000 all told. Thus the
cost of doing business was 20 per-
cent instead of 80 percent and the
merchant could then sell groceries
which cost him 81 at rel all price of
$3.50 and make more money than he
formerly could by selling the same
goods at $500. This meant a 20 per
cent saving for the consumer and a
six percent greater profit to the sell
err"
Advertising has benefited the con-
sumner by giving permanence to bus
mess, Professor Vance explains. The
firm which advertises must STAY
where it can be found or otherwise
it will not profit from the expendi-
ture of advertising. Every dollar
man pays for advertising makes it
more important for him to be scrup-
illus in his integrity. A man may be
careless of what he says about his
goods bus,, he will not publish a lie
in print with his name underneath
the statement, for his customers
would quickly leave him and transfer
to someone they could trust.
A retail merchant who handles a
manufacturers products which are
advertised is willing to sell Them at
smaller margin than he requires
of unadvertised goods. He is willing
to sacrifice part of his gross profit

seemed so independent, could allow
children to order her about in such a

land of obedient mothers, land
where mothers make the requests and
children command.

ers to deal successfully with them in
the schoolroom after such utter lack
of discipline in the home?

PAULSENS AFFIDAVIT FALSE

An affidavit signed by one P. A. Paulsen for
mer owner of the Roosevelt County Independent
and sent out by Paul Paulsen, who bought the
Roosevelt County Independent, in company witt
the writer from Paul Paulsen, entitled GLOW Tav-
lor Treated Worker" which has been widely cir
culated among the voters of Sheridan County. is
pure and unadulterated political libel
The parties who have circulated this leaflet
know it is false. P. A. Paulsen who signed it
knows it is false. Paul Pausen knows it is false.
The whole Paulsen claim is wonton blackmail
from its inception.
The writer does not owe Paul Paulsen cent
IN any way shape or manner that he has not paid
him, and well does Paul Paulsen know it.
Affidavits that he has filed with the postoffice
department to the ownership of the Roosevelt
County Independent are true or they are perjury.
If what Paulsen says is true then he is guilty of
perjury on several counts, and is liable for in
dictment and prosecution.
p. A. Paulsen was drunk when he signed this
affidavit and had been on a "moonshine bat'' with
Paul Paulsen for three days at Wolf Point when
he signed it, being absolutely irresponsible at the
time
When the case comes to trial the writer will put
several witnesses on the stand VINO will prove that
every word of Paulsen's affidavit is perjury. and
one Of the witnesses will be very prominent man.
The use of this affidavit as a campaign docu-
ment by my republican opponent for the state
senate is an example of the levels some self ac-
claimed respectable Christian gentlemen will stoop
to in order to win petty honor and political
office
Paul Paulsen has a couple of times offered to
settle his fake claim against the writer for few
dollars, but the writer refuses to be blackmaied
out of a cent by cheap crook election or no cleo
ton.

BANKERS NOT FOR PIE HJELM

Frank French the republican candidate for
county commissioner is pretty sore because we say
That ne is the bankers candidate and loudly pro
claims that he is for call the peo ple"
Well, our experience has always been that the
candidate who stands for "a square deal for all,'
IN the last analysis is always for the banker and
exploiter.
No one can be for both sides oa a position at
the same time.
Jesus recognized this long ago. when he said,
be you either hot or cold, but if We be neither
hot or cold, spew thee out of nv mouth"
In spite of all Frank French may protest, it
remains fact that every banker in the county
is supporting him just the same. Every member
OF the "old gang" is supporting him. Not a
one of them is supporting Helm.
Why is Banker Mckee supporting French?
Why is every faker and crook that has been kicked
out OF the Farmer-Labor party supporting French
How does it come that Joe Dolin is supporting
French?
The bankers in this county have contributed to
and are collecting campaign fund for French
right now.
But only the farmers are supporting Pete Helm.
the honest, straight forward Scandinavian farmer
of Comertown-not banker or pie hungry
gangster is for him.
Frank French knows how true this is
Conner appointed French just before he stepped
out at the behest of Powers and other bank
ers and smooth politicians of this county, none of
whom ever supported the Farmers administra-
ton.
They know why they had him appointed, and
they know why they are supporting him now.
You can bet your last dollar on that.
But Pete HELM will he oIoo+od
The bankers will be whipped" again.
The producers news., 1926-10-22

the county has been cut, while the efficiency in
the offices has been increased.
The "Old gang" is against the Farmer-Labor
group on general principles. They stand for the
exploitation of the county: they stand for the
exploitation of the farmers and the workers. they
stand for rule and domination by Main Street:
they resent the rule of the farmers
This "old gang" is this year supporting the
candidates on the Republican ticket and opposing
the candidates the Farmer-Labor ticket And
who are the candidates on the Republican ticket I?
They are for the most part men who in the past
have supported the candidates of the cold gang"
and opposed the candidates on the Farmer-Labor
ticket all of this time
Birds of feather flock together" The outfit
which you have opposed and defeated for the past
SIX years will be returned again if you elect the
Republican ticket this fall-if only one or two of
them are elected they will be able to operate
again to just that extent
The few candidates the Republican ticket
who supported the Farmer-Labor party in the
past, but eXamplify the old proverbs, "That water
finds its level" These men have at last found
their own strata. They were picked up by the
"old gang" and put forward as candidates in the
hopes OF drawing enough votes from the Farmer
Labor party to defeat it, and are being supported
by the "old gang" for that purpose and not be-
cause the "old gang" has any respect for these
mugwumps" They have found out that they
can handle them, SO they try to elect men they
can handle to office when they cannot elect them
Selves
The 'old gang" knows these "turn coats" were
against them only because they were not in on
the "cuts" and not on principle"
So now we find nI1ey1, ,,oovoho~ e A.. 0-I1
gang; we find all of the bankers; we find all of
the special exploters we find all of the grafters
we find all Of the crooks; we find Jack O'Gradv.
Banker Mckee, former cashier of the defunct
First National Bank, whose looting has never
been exposed who is now running "crop grab
bing business" Oscar Collins, Ray Lang, Leo
Zeldler' ETC.; all of them, everyone of them, are
supporting the republican ticket Most of them.
nearly all of them, have always opposed the far
mer officials-they opposed them in everv cleo
ton before, and are opposing them now.
They know what they are doing. Of course
they have selected as candidates those with whom
they think they can fool you.
Mr.. Farmer, we "can judge dog by the COM
pany he keeps"
just put these facts in your pipe and smoke
them.
Inc candidates on the republican party are the
of those who are supporting them: of
those who are contributing to their campaign
funds. They under obligations to those SUD-
porters and will perform for those men, which
will not be for the farmers and taxpayers
Size up those who are supporting the Farmer
Labor candidates, see who are behind them, and
then size up the Republican candidates and see
who are behind them, then recall that you are
voting, not only for the candidates but those be-
hind them\and vote accordingly
Remember: 'Birds of Feather Flock Togeth-
er."
