WHY ADVERTISE?
Manufacturers Record.
“Como, therefore, and I will advertise
theo”-—Numbers, xxlv: 14,
"And I though to ndvortiso theo.”—
Ruth ivi 4.
From the earliest of Biblical days
the value of advertising has boon more
and moro clearly soon. In one way or
another, through all the ngos, men have
realised that without publicity or adver
tises their olTorts would bo in vain. The
"mighty pomp and circumstance of
war,'’ the triumphal procession of tho
old Romans, tho varied means adopted
to sond information throughout all em
pires In olden days, down to the tromon-
doue advertising campaign of tho Brit
ish Government in stirring a nation’s pa
triotism and raising an army of 5,000,000
volunteers, and similar advertising by
tho American Government to soli Liberty
Bonds, wore nil moroly a broad and over
growing realisation of tho power of ad-
vorbdng.
Without advertising England could not
havo raised its mighty volunteer army;
without advertising t.ho United States
oould not have found 20,000,000 bond
buyers.
The same powor of advertising could
now "soil” prosperity to tho whole coun
try. There is enough to write about and
talk about in advertising to stir the na
tion to a realisation of our country’s
limitless resources and illimitable dovol-
opment potentialities.
Tho powor of nll-porvading, all-com-
polling advertising work, Iitorally alive
with tho Are of truth and enthusiasm,
would quicken ovory heart-beat, would
thrill ovory American, would stimulate
tho young to doods of ue.hlovomont in tho
business world to match tho achieve
ments nnd the glory of tho battlefield,
and woald stir afresh tho blood of tho
old. Tho flag of Amorioo’s patriotism
unfurled in advertising, tho bugle call
to work, tho drum boats, “Charge,”
would load uh on to c.omrnorcial power
lutf glory nnd prosperity us worthy of
praise ns over wore the triumphs of tho
iMttiaflold.
Then down with tho pessimism of
faint-hearted enmp followers, and up

SMALLEST
COTTON CROP IN 25
YEARS.
WnBliington, July 1.—Cotton produc
tion this year promises to be tho smallest
In the last quarter of a century. Today s
forecast by the Department of Agricul
ture places it at 8,4311,000 bales, or near
ly 5,000,000 bales smaller than last
year’s crop, and nearly 8,000,000 bales
below the record crop of 1914.
yeur's acreage is 28.4 per cent, cniuller
than last your’s.
The nerengo this year is the smallest
slneo 1000, and never before, according
to tho Department of Agriculture, has
there been so groat a chnugo from one
year to another in acrenge as there has
been from last year to this year. Tho
condition bt tho growing crop has not in
twenty years been so low on June 25 as
it was this year. All sections of the cot
ton bolt has boon affected. It is due, ac
cording to. Govornmcnt* experts, to an
adversely wet spring and to tho pres-
oneo of the boll weevil in lnrgo numbers.
Owing to the unfavorable conditions
of April and May and to other discour
aging factors—shortage of fertilizer and
unsatisfactory price—abandonment of
cotton ncrenge hue boon greater than
usual west of the Mississippi rivor, rang
ing from 5 per cent, in North Carolina
and Mississippi to ns high as 10^ per
cont. in Georgia. West of the MisbIs
slppl abandonment has been slight.
Tho amount of commercial fertilizer
used per acre on cotton this year is
about 66 por cont. of the avorago amount
used annually in the past four yonre.
Special returns to tho department in-
ilicnto only about 55 por cent, as much
as last yenr in South Carolina, 42 per
cont. in Mississippi and Tonnossee, 15
por cent, in Louisinna and Arkansas, 49
por cent, in Georgia nnd 33 por cont, in
Florida.
Tims, all indications point to a reduc
tion in absolute quantity of fertilizer
purehasod much greater than the un
precedented reduction in acreage of cot
ton, and this is confirmed by tho figures
quoted showing lossened use por acre.
This lack is reflected in tho relatively
low condition of cotton, which is aim- ,-t
ten points below the average condition
at this date. The quality is generally re
ported lower than in previous yeurs.
A cotton crop of 8,433,000 equivalent
500-pound bales this year is forecast by
tho Dopartmont of Agricultuer, basing
its estimate on the area under cultiva
tion June 25, which was 26,519,000 acres,
nnd tho condition of tho crop on that
date, which was 69.2 per cont of a nor
mal.
Production Inst yenr was 18,305,754
equivalent 500-pound bales; the revised
area in cultivation a year ago was 37,-
043, 000 acres, nnd tho condition of tho
crop June 25 last year 70.7 per cent, of
a norninl.
The preliminary ostiniute of acrenge
and tho condition on dune 25 by States
follow; Acrenge, 27,000,000; condition,
70; North Carolina, 1,180,000 and 65;
South Carolina, 2,190,000 and 05; Geor-
gin, 8,000,000 and 64; Florida, 82,000 and
70; Alabama, 2,029,000 nnd 59; Missis

THE NIGHT BEAUTIFUL.
G. W. Bivins in Butler Herald,
Much has been said ami written about
the beauties''of tho day. From time ini-'
memorial they have been immortalized
ill song and story. From lofty mountain
poults gifted poets and brilliant writers,
divinely inspired, with flaming pen have
portrayed tho sublimity of the dawn, and
the regal splendor of the rising sun.
With match loss eloquence they have pic
tured tho entrancing aunset, in nil its
radiance. Yet, in comparison, few linos
iinvc boon dedicated to the majestic
Night, serene and beautiful.
Soon after the day-god has vanished
beyond tho western slope in a blaze of
glory tho evening shades appear, and a
busy world sinks down on its couch with
a sigh for tho blessing of rest.
Vorily, tho guardian angels seem to
turn low tho lights of heaven, close the
blinds, and gontly draw over a weary
world tho soft covering of Night for the
respite of soul and body; and sleep,
gentle sleep, kisBos down our eyelids in
poaceful slumber.
Ob, Night, thou beautiful and enchant
ing queen with starry crown, tho mellow
moonbeams lighting thy wayl . How
welcome thou art to a tired’ world I
Though arrayod in sombre robes, thy
sparkling jewels are a marvel of beauty
that surpassoth all understanding; ami
still, thou art a tranquil messenger, sym
bolizing lovo and peace ami rest. \ In the
golden silence of thy gracious presence
wo pay homage to thee.
Thou contest when tho whippoorwill
and the nightingale are singing; when
the dewdrops of heaven are kissing the
lily and the roso. Thy voice is the sweet
eadenco of soothing winds, charming
the lovers ’mid palms and ferns. Thy
breath is the gentle zephyr, fresh with
health and tho fragrance of flowers; and
thy soft touch quiets and soothes many
an aching heart. The fairies and dream
land all are thine, ami the green eratli
is tlie carpet over which thou dost noise
lessly guile, lulling the world to rest.
WOMAN A PUZZLE,
Awoman is queer, there’s no doubt about
that;
She hates to lie thin, and she hates to be
fat;
One minute it’s laughter, the next it’s
a cry—
You can’t understand hei^ however you
try;
But there’s one -thing about her that
everyone knows—
A woman’s not dressed till site powders
her nose.

the high schools and colleges of Oregon,
“Tho teacher,” ho snys, “must read
English from out tho Latin and Latin

MEMORIAL DAY.
Now York Morning Telegraph.
Tills is Memorial Day. It is the day
set apart for honoring our soldier doad-
tho day sacred to those who made the
supreme sacrifice on battlefield and in
camp. It will be celebrated in many
lands—in France almost as a national in
stitution, as with us; in England, where
some of our heroeB lie buried; In Cuba,
in the Philippines, and in Porto Rico.
Memorial Day, first introduced half a
century ago ns ‘ ‘ Decoration Day, ’ ’ has a
more compelling appeal to the hearts of
the people today than it ever had before.
Every State in the Union has its gold-
star roil; every county, perhaps,, its ser
vice flag sanctified by the blood of a
patriot.
And if there is any one lesson that this
day teaches more impressively than an
other it is the lesson of “preparedness.”
The death roll would not have been so
large if we had profited by wliat we saw
going on undor our eyes in Europe. An
other lesson, however, is the necessity of
avoiding war when possible—a. consum
mation that can be reached only -by in
ternational agreement. It is easy for a
President or for a bumble and obscure
citizen to say: “It nniBt nqt be
again;” but words nre north nothing,
unless backed by deeds.

SUPERVISION OF “MOTOR CAR
MORALS" URGED.
Drastic supervision of (( motor car'
morals” and the formulation by teach
ers , and parents’ associations find wo
men’s dubB of rules governing conduct
of girls on automobile parties were the
most striking features of a proposed re
form movement launched in Cincinnati,
Ohio, rocently by Dr. Wilbui\ F. Crafts,
superintendent of the national reform
bureau, who delivered an address on
‘National Perils and Hopos.” That
restriction of some sort is needod in, the
matter of automobile parties was de-
dared by Dr. Crafts, who said that a
code of honor and good form for girls
who go riding with their male friends
should be drafted and strictly adhered, to.
He said that the question had assumed
proportions that made it of vital impor
tance to the welfare of the race, and de
clared that the conduct on night auto
mobile parties often was shameless.
“And the biggest menace of the evil
is that it is universal,’’ he said. “No
mother, with tho welfare of her daughter
at heart, would sanction a visit to tho
private apartment of a male acquaint
ance, and yet that ia essentially what
takes plaeO every time that a girl goes
out on an automobile party.
“A motor car is nothing more or less
than an apartment on wheels.

member of the opposite sex she is taking

PERILS IN A KISS.
J, Locke.
As for Elodie—wliat did a kiss or
two matter? If one paid all- that atten
tion to a kiss one’s life would ho a com
plicated drama of a hundred threads.
A kiss is nothing’—so ran one of her
obiter dicta—‘unless you felt it in your
toes. Then look out. ’
A kiss must mean either very much
or very little. There are maidens to
whom it signifies a life’s consecration.
There nre men whose blood it fires with
burning passiop. There are couples of
different sox who jointly consider their
first kiss a matter of supreme impor
tance, and, the temporary rapture over,
at once begin to discuss the possibilities
of parental approbation and the ways
and means of matrimony. A kiss may be
tho very devil of a thing, leading to two
or three dozen honorably born grandchil
dren, or to suicide, or to celibate addic
tion, to cats, or to the fate of Abelajd,
or to the Fall of Troy. Volumes could
bo written on it.”
the same chance that she would in visit
ing her oseort’s private apartment un-
chaperoned, nnd her mother is as open
to censure for allowing one ns the other.
“There are proper conditions under
which automobile rides may be taken,
and it is the duty of those with tire moral
welfare of our nation at heart to point
out these conditions and demand that
they bo observed.
“Cigarette smoking for women and
participation in auto nnd booze pnrties
are things that must go."'
"Why does a woman’s hat cost so
much more Gian a man ’at Surely, tho
(trimming can’t account for more than
a fraction of tho difference. ’ ’
"Certainly not, but you must remem
ber that it costa more to sell a liat to
a woman, A man seldom takes up more
than two minutes of the salesman’s time,
while n woman will keep the entire sales
istair busy for half a day.”
The marriage had commenced as a
pure love match, but now, after a few
years’ experience, it had developed into
an etoranl wrangle.
There are some married couples who
do nothing but argue and fight and con
tradict each other over trifles, and of
such a type were Mr. and Mrs. Fuss.
At dinner one evening, when tho soup
came on, they started an argument about
the price of the sitting-room carpet, or
it might have been the gravel for the
front garden.
As the fish were served the argument
w*as getting hotter, tho meat course saw
it a little warmer still, until, when the
dessert arrived, both husband and wife
could scarcely cat for indignation.
Then the wife interrupted herself to
say to her husband, in a plaintive voice:
I don’t know whatever would hap
pen, Paul, if you ever agreed with me on
any topic.”
Mr. Fuss looked at his better half, and
sighed.

wrong 1 ”

THE PLACE FOR YOU TO BUY RIGHT!
For one week we are going to reduce prices
The unsophisticated young clergyman
essayed to break the embarrassing silence
that had fallen between his fair partner
and himself:
Er—have you ever noticed,” he be
gan, “how opposed to modern ideas of
politeness is the wording of the Tenth
Commandment? I mean the part which
says, ‘And tliy manservant, and thy
maidservant, and the stranger within
thy gateB. ’ The guest, you notice, comes
after the maidservant. ’ ’
He waited hopefully for the reply
which should open up further conversa
tion between them.
The fair one was slightly bored. Her
answer came in a perfectly modulated
voice. "No, I had not noticed it until
you spoke, but it is as true today as it
was then. He usually is after the maid
servant. ’ ’

The husband arrived home milch later
than usual from the office. He took off
Ms boots and stole ipto the bed-room.
His wife began to stir quickly. The
panic-stricken man went to the cradle of
