Charge of Profiteering Is
Held Wholly Groundless.
BUSINESS COSTS ADVANCE
lealer These Days Is Lncky If He
Can Show Any Profit at All, Says
Association Secretary.
Retail merchants representing ev
ery important section of Oregon will
Father in Portland today. It will be
the first joint meeting of the boards
of directors of the Oregon Retail
Merchants' association and the Ore
gon State Retailers' association since
these two state organizations, which
have been rivals for the past five
years, voted to bury the hatchet and
get together.
In the meeting today, which will be
held in one of the parlors of the Im
perial hotel, the merchants will per
fect the consolidation of the work and
business of both organizations, which
are to be merged under plans ap
proved by both. It is almost certain,
also, that they will have something
to sav officially about profiteering.
"Since both President Wilson and
Attorney-General Palmer have ac
cused retail merchants of profiteer
ing, it is almost certain that the Ore
gon merchants will at least make a
public denial for, except in those rare
instances which would only serve to
prove the rule, there is no profiteer
ing by retailers in this state," said
Edward A. MacLean, secretary of the
Oregon State Retailers' association,
yesterday.
EverythlnK I Going I'p.
"What few people realize," he con
tinued, "is that it not only costs mon
ey to do business, but that various
costs in the retail business have been
going up lately, along with every
thing else.
"Clerk hire costs more than ever
before in history, and lots of other
items of expense have risen in the
same way. The retail merchant, of
course, has to pay his necessary ex
penses before he gets any profit at
all, and that is a point the public
very frequently overlooks.
"For example, the federal trade
commission found that throughout
the L'nited States it cost 26 cents to
sell $1 worth of shoes at retail. In
other words, the retailer could not
pay more than 74 cents for what he
sold for $1 and get -out alive, for
rent, clerk hire and other expenses
amounted to 26 cents on every dollar's
worth of business.
Facts Sometimes Overlooked.
"If the shoe retailer paid the whole
saler or manufacturer 75 cents for
what he retailed for SI, he lost just
1 cent on the transaction, yet there
are lots of well educated and intelli
gent people who, without these sim
ple facts before them, and the fig
ures I quote are the figures reported
to congress by the federal trade com
mission, would imagine that the re
tailer was making a big profit.
"Most persons would say that if
a retailer was buying something for
75 cents and selling it for $1 he was
making 33 1-3 per cent an unholy
profit! But few people realize that
the shoe retailer today is shown by
government authority to be losing
1 cent on every dollar's worth ol
business done on that basis. Instead
of being a profiteer he is actually
losing money.
Square Deal Demanded.
"All the retailers want is a square
deal. The retailer stands as a serv
ice man to the public, and after pay
ing his necessary expenses the ordi
nary retailer is lucky these days if
he has anything left at all.
"That is all I have any right to
say. The merchants of the state who
will gather here tomorrow will be
able to speak for themselves and
there is little doubt that they will
defend themselves vigorously against
any charges of profiteering, for they
are absolutely not guilty."

pected to attend the meeting today

MABEL NORM A X D IX "UPSTAIRS"
A
DOUBLE bill that in its two
casts contains more and bigger
stars than were probably ever
shown on one screen at one time.
this week's bill, at the Majestic
theater. It consists of a five-
reel comedy, "Upstairs," starring
Mable Normand and the first release
of the Stage Women's War Relief as
sociation entitled "Tom's Little Star."
Tom's Little Star" was written by
Mrs. Otis Skinner. Its cast numbers,
among others, Otis Skinner, Daniel
Frohman, Henry Miller, William Jef
ferson, Florenz Ziegfeld. Blanche
Bates and Constance Ginney. Most
of these people have never before
appeared- in motion pictures, and
it is quite safe to assume that most
of them probably never will again.
In this case they appeared for war
relief and that emergency is now
over.
Constance Binney is "Tom's Little
Star." She plays the role of a young-
ter who knows that the stage can
not really come into its own without
her. Guided by this belief she makes
the round of actors and producers,
asking for a position. She applies
first to Otis Skinner, who, taking the
kindliest route, passes her on to Dan-
el frohman. From Frohman she
goes to Ziegfeld and from Ziegfeld
to Henry Miller, where she is given a
small part to play in his production,
"Molnere, which, by the way, he
brought to Portland in August. It is
in "Moliere" she realizes her true
calling is in housekeeping.
Mable Normand is unusually funny
n the clever comedy. "Upstairs." The

directing. The entire company, num
bering 50 persons, left last week for

The Geraldine Farrar company of
Goldwyn players left last week on a
picture-making expedition to the
desert near Oxnard and Hueneme. A
vanguard of 15 heavily laden motor
trucks made the trip. There were
three special cars attached to the
regular train. The famous singer and
picture star, however, traveled with
her husband, Lou Tellegen, and her
director, Reginald Barker, by motor.
The desert was transformed from a
mere sandy waste into various typical
scenes in the Sahara. The caravan
unfolded its tents and made camp,
where much action in the story took
place.
Under the direction of Ralph Ince,
the final scenes for 'Sealed Hearts,"
Eugene O'Brien's production, were
shot this week at the Fort Lee studios.
The production will now go through
the cutting and titling departments,
preparatory to being released for
showing. The supporting cast of
"Sealed Hearts" includes Lucille
Stewart, who also played opposite Mr.
O'Brien in "The Perfect Lover," and

To broaden the market for Oregon prod
ucts until they find their way Into every
corner of the world, to aid manufacturing
concerns already eFtabliphed and those that
will be eatablinhed. to educate the people
of Oregon as to what is made within tha
state, and to bring an end to any sectional
Jealousies existing within the state, are
ome of the alms of the Associated Indus
tries of Oreiron, as set forth by H. C
Huntington, head of the Portland Rubber
mills, and president of the association.
At a dinner Wednesday evening at the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, given by
the Associated Industries to the industrial
committee of the Portland Press club, Mr.
Huntington outlined the plans and pur
poses of the organization in an address
quoted in part as follows:
The Associated Industries of Oregon in
group of manufacturers, organized pri
marily for the encouragement of Industries
that have been established, or may later
become established in this state. The mar
ket is our goal, first the local market, then
the market of the country, and perhaps
then the markets of the world.
Three Problems Stated.
"The markets of the world! A big un
dertaking, you will say, but why not?
"What is the Oregon market In comparison
to the markets of the world, and who
shall tell us that we Oregon manufacturers
shall not reach out and rival the country's
best and strongest?"
Problems of the manufacturers were
given as three under-capltallzation.
freight rates preferential to eastern com
petitors and scarcity of skilled labor.
"We do not ask business simply because
we are here In Oregon," said Mr. Hunt
ington. "All sentiment aside, our goods
must stand or fall on price, quality and
service. We are striving to make the
manufacturers appreciate the necessity of
a broad selling and advertising policy to
make the public aware of their products.
Unfortunately, too many are still ignorant
of what is being made In the state.
"We are endeavoring . to establish In
Oregon Quality' a trademark that will be
come synonymous with the best of the na
tion's products. We have the temerity to
think that as an organization .we can do
something to bring to an end the petty
sectionalism of this state. The promotion
of industry Is a common cause, in which
all Oregon can safely unite.
Responsibility Is Assumed.
'Responsibilities, yes. and in proportion
to our opportunities. Responsible to the
markets of the state and world that the
fair name of Oregon shall not be be
smirched by shoddy goods, responsible to
our working people for a square deal and
a chance to work at more than a living
wage under safe and sanitary conditions,
responsible to the business men of this city
and to men of the press for a breadth, of
vision tnat will help to make Orcion a
real industrial community."
Probably no advertising camnaign In
augurated In Portland in recent years has
auraciea mare attention than that of the
Portland Flouring Mills company, which
came out early In September with its new
trademark. "Foremost In the Field."
The design, which pictures a sturdy
young farmer standing In the stubble, hold
ing two sheafs of grain and facing the
setting sun, is pronounced one of the most
artistic as well as compelling of any de
signs worked out hp. The advertising
campaign by the company Is being carried
out widely in the northwest, on billboards.
aireeicar cards and in newspapers.
It was Max H. Houser's suggestion to
clothe a Greek figure in farmer's clothes
which brought about the new trademark
Last spring a contest was held and sug
gestions for the new trademark were called
tor. Among the many presented was one
picturing a Greed athlete, symbolic of the
company's Olympic flour.
Farmer's Clothes Ordered.
"Take him out and put him In farmer's
clothes and maybe we can use him." said
the head of the firm. The Greek athlete
was brought up to date and from the
drawing the new trademark was evolved
The picture with the words "Foremost in
the Field" will appear henceforth upon all
Olympic products.
At the regular weekly meeting of tha
Portland realty board held Friday noon

"111 Always Bless the Day I
Began Taking Tanlac,"
Says ISIrs. Whitney.
"It's the actual truth. I've gained
fourteen pounds since I began taking
Tanlac three weeks ago, and It's sim
ply wonderful the way this medicine
has completely restored me to health
In so short a time." was the state
ment made to a Tanlac representa
tive the other day by Mrs. Lucy
Whitney, who lives at 945 East Forty
eighth street, Los Angeles.
"I was in a miserable run-down con
dition and what little strength I had
was dwindling away. My appetite
left me and the little I ate didn't
agree with me. My nerves were all
upset, every little thing out of the
ordinary that happened irritated me
and at night I would have awful
nightmares. For days and weeks at
a time I have gone on half the sleep
I ought to have had. My housework
was a drudge. I couldn't half do it.
and several times I thought of giving
up entirely. I tried ever so many
different medicines and treatments,
but none of them did me any good,
and all the time my health was get
ting worse and worse. Finally I
kept running down and getting so
weak that I actually weighed only
eighty-two pounds. and I became
alarmed at my condition.
"One of my friends, a neighbor,
suggested that I try Tanlac as it had
helped her so wonderfully. I was
willing to give it a trial so I told
my husband to get me a bottle. To
my dying day I'll bless the day that
i got my first bottle of this Tanlac.
It's simply the finest thing I ever
saw and it's the first medicine that's
ever done me any good. I began to
improve from the very start and have
taken only two bottles but have actu
ally gained fourteen pounds, and I'm
glad to be able to tell you the won
derful good this Tanlac has done me.
I've gotten completely over my nerv
ousness and I can sleep like a child
every night. My appetite has come
back. I eat anything I want and I'm
gaining in weight every day. My con
stitution and whole system have been
built up, and I had no idea such a
great change could come over me In
so short a while. I just feel so much
better that my housework is a pleas
ure to me."

VALLEY APPLE CROP GOOD
Willamette Shipments This Year
Promise to Be Important.
HOOD RIVER. Or., Sept. 2S. (Spe
cial.) "The Willamette valley this
year will figure largely in Oregon
apple shipments," says Allen Hart of
this city, who has charge of a pack
ing plant for Dan Wuille & Co. at
Newberg. "We will ship 100 cars
of fine-quality apples from Newberg.
Our packing house has three grading
machines operating now and we are
turning out 1200 boxes of apples
daily."
Mr. Hart, who has been at Newberg
the past two weeks organizing his
forces, came here to secure additional
packers.
EARLY WINTER PREDICTED
Cold Wave Coming, and Frost. Say
Hood River Prophets.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Sept- 27. (Spe
cial.) The southward flight of a
flock of ducks today gave the local
weather prophets their first oppor
tunity of the season. The prognosti
cators say the early migration ot the
waterfowls indicates the approach of
a cold wave and frost in the near
future.
The weather prophets point to the
fast-maturing apple crop as another
point in support of their predictions.
Winter, they say, will set in early
this year. .
