When the blU rinss at the Portland Ad Club luncheon at noon ona week from today thera wlU ba a band of JO oratorical gladiators ready for a aeries of two-minute rounds In a contest to aea which can best present a mind pic tura of the town and county ho halls from. Thera will ba about SO audltora to Tery speaker. eeery ona of them ready to encourage any telling hlta by their farorlte for the grand prtie. In fact, the men from the four Northwest states which will ba represented at tho luncn- k uAiai r 11 1 tnnmah iDDear to be dividing Into sectional factlonaJ which are cobubi in who iuuu r"" -Ing columns behind tho man picked to represent them. The German assault on the capital of Poland wUl be chlld'a play compared to the way the Interior merchants will tear Into each other at that reception. There will be no masterly retreat such as "the Russians are said to have made. Every entry la ready to dla with hla mini and thera will ba nobody, to re treat. Contest Bayers Week Featare, The Ad Club luncheon"and the con test between visitors to sea who can best present the country where ha does business has developed Into one of the best entertainment features of Portland Buyers' Week. It Is not a Joke by any means, that contest. Everybody enjoys it and geU a barrel of fun out of it. because the rivalry between the contestanta la of the highest order of wit and In good feeling. But laat year It was happily discovered that among the buyers were men who were orators of high power, clever debaters and men who were ca pable of presenting the facta aa to the splendid communities they represented ao capably aa to secure the closest at tention of their - hosts. They knew their statlstica of products and pay rolls aa well aa they knew their stocks of aoods. The fact that the Judges are not called upon to decide which speaker represents the best town and county will probably save the lives of the men who Jude the contest. Tba prises are to be awarded solely 'for "the best speeches." Mea Greatly la Earnest. "These men ara so In earnest In pseklng for their eommunltlea and ara o Imbued with the idea that .the Northwest Is the greatest section of America and their own particular town 1a the best part of the district that I would not consider appointing a com mittee to Judge tba contest If the men sd to say which town was best." said Oeorge L. Baker, president of tha Ad Club. "Tha Ad Club will be glad to wel come these men who are doing so much to upbuild tha great states they repre sent and to learn to know them better. We will hope to make their luncheon a fcappy and pleasant hour, and when the gavel dismisses tha assembly I am aura we will all be better friends. "That helps to make business for everybody."
