SALEM, Or., Dec. 27. (Special.) -Instead
of a deficit which it faced
last spring, the military department of
the state will finish the two year
period with a surplus, according to
the biennial report of the department
which was filed today by Adjutant
General George A. White.
Five thousand dollars will be
turned back to the state, in lieu of a
dTiciancy appropriation, although no
part of it will come from the national
guard funds, which were sufficient to
trlng the guard through to the end
of the year.
The money will be from the naval
militia appropriation, Colonel Whites
report showing that he put an end to
naval militia activity last July, after
finding that it was maintained as a
' purely state force without recogni
tion or support by the navy depart
ment H recommends the dismissal
of the present naval militia.
Tribute Paid Naval Militia.
At the same time he paid a tribute
to the naval militia as it existed at
th tim nf the world war outbreak,
savins that these men responded as a
unit to the first call and servea
throughout, the navy .and in every

Importance of the national guard
as a part of the first line 01 lanu uo

which said that the b

upon the nationaf guard under the
new defense law passed by congress
last June. The national guard is sub
lect to call day or night in event of
I-vasion or war abroad, the report
states, and it is the citizen soldiery
of the national guard who again must
stand the brunt of the first battles
holding an enemy at bay while the
coi ntry goes through the processes of
getting ready.

S.FACTS
' The Staiger Shoe company, awake to the downward trend of prices,
; realize that every Shoe in their shelves cost them more than that same
v: shoe is worth today on the new basis' of prices. They do not consider it
good business to sell those shoes on the basis of cost to them. It is
: their unalterable policy to always sell at the lowest possible price at
which good shoes can be sold. But don't get the mistaken idea that
. shoe prices are much below those of a year ago they're not nor will
they be soon. There is a difference of from 'fifty cents to two-fifty a
pair, the average being about half way between the two figures.
However 7
; Owing to changing market conditions, and that they may be able
to' buy and sell under these new conditions, they have determined to
take a sharp loss on the entire present stock and, have turned it over
: to me with instructions to "-Sell it every pair!"
I'VE CUT EVERY PRICE
, Cut it' without regard to anything other than to make it low
enough to meet the public idea of what shoe prices should be ! and
never was a stock of the magnitude of this grouped into as few prices.
I've looked at every line separately and thrown it into a price group
that I know will sell it. But remember this every sale is cash no re
funds, no exchanges after 11:30 A. M. The store's usual careful serv
ice in fitting will govern all sales. I suggest morning shopping where,
at all possible. .
