The annual Business Institute,

Retail Merchants association, opened
in the ball room of the Sacajawea
Inn at 9:30 o'clock this morning
with a discussion of "Accounting in
Retail Business," by Professor E. E.
Bosworth.
Tho Bession was very . Informal,
and Professor Bosworth welcomed
Questions from members of the class.
He called attention to the necessity
of revising the bankruptcy laws
which at present permit frequent
frauds, cheating the public out of
millions of dollars yearly. Of 57,000
business failures in 1920 Yale in
vestigators have found that 90. per
cent were due to failure to keep pro
per accounting records. By citing
many interesting incidents from his
own experience proiessor Boswonn
then made clear the application and
Importance of good accounting
methods to the retail business. .
Meets in Theater
- At the second session of the insti
tute, in the Granada theater at 10:30,
Professor H. T. Vance gave an inter
esting Illustrated presentation of
"Retail . Advertising,"' explaining
what it is, what is wrong with it,
and what we can do about it. Con
sidering the subject from the retail
er's point of view, he outlined the
essentials of ' effective advertising
and called attention to several dan
gers to be avoided in preparing copy.
Advertising, -says professor Vance, is
a great, Invisible force which Is fre
quently called "publicity," and may
be favorable or unfavorable;, and It
Is the purpose of much advertising
to correct unfavorable impressions
of the public i ' He pleaded tor. accu
rate description and .honest , state
ments in all advertising, - and the
scrapping of exaggerations and mis
leading comparative prices. '
Though the attendance at the two
morning sessions was small, those in
charge of the institute expect grad
ually growing crowds, and an espe
cially good number at the banquet

How hot was It yesterday?
That was a common question this
morning, as La. Grande faced an
other scorcher not of the mid-west
variety that exacts a certain amount
of fatalities, but nevertheless real
heat.
In La Grande Tuesday the mer
cury ascended to 98 above in the
official thermometer before starting
the downward trip, following a high
of 96 above for Monday. This morn
ing, with the temperature at 7 a. m.
70 above three degrees warmer than
at 7 Tuesday many were predicting
that the 100-above mark would be
reached today for the first time this
year.
A breeze late yesterday and last
night cooled the city considerably,
and the evening was only pleasantly
warm.
Fire In Extinguished
Continuous warm wcathor, accom
panied by occasional winds and lack
of rain, has increased the fire haz
ard throughout Eastern Oregon.
During the last three days two very
serious fires have occurred In the
valley near here, with large losses
to farmers, and yesterday morning
a small forest fire started over the
mountain west of La Grande, not far
from Deal canyon. Prompt work
on the part of the fire fighters soon
placed this blazo under control,
however.
Tho fire department here was
called out yesterday afternoon on
another grass fire, putting the
flames out with chemicals. Grass
is so dry and the fire hazard Is so
great that no fire Derm Its are being
Issued in La Grande at present.
KLAMATH FALLS, July 30 W-Ten
acres of timber burned 13 mites west
of here late yesterday in a fire started
by a burning ranch barn. It was the

been worse.

Supreme Court Justices Consider
Testimony Given by MacDonald
SAN FRANCISCO. July 30 (VP)
I Testimony of John MacDonald. Balt
imore waiter, that he perjured him
self at the Mooney-Bllllngs prepar
edness parade bombing trials, was
before the California supreme court
today as the seven Justices prepared
to hear further witnesses.
MacDonald testified yesterday his
identification of Tiiomas J. Mooney
and Warren K. Billings as the two
men he saw place a bomb at Steu
art and Market streets July 22. 1010,
was false.
t'onsrlence Troubled Him
He gave a troubled conscience as
his reason for appearing before the
justices to testify he had been
"coached" to identify Mooney and
Billings as the bombers. Both are
serving life terms In prison.
Frequent charges have been made
for years the two men were ''rail
roaded" to prison because of their
activities on behalf of organized la
bor. A street railway strike was
In progress at the time of the bomb
ing. The justices ore considering Bill
ings' application for a recommenda
tion for pardon. Mooney, mean
while, has applied to Oovernor C. C
Ypung for pardon.
ru'Kcri, inn men
MacDonald was questioned four
hours and insisted he was telling the
truth and branded his testimony, in
the Mooney-Bllllngs caf,es as "a
bunch of lies" which former District
Attorney Charles M. Fickert and
Captain (then sergeant Charles
Goff of the San Francisco police In
fluenced him to tell.
Tho examination was conducted
