The American . Legion is a non-partisan,
non-sectarian organisation. ... It
has one plank Americanism. It is an
organization similar to the G. A. R. or
the United Confederate Veterans. Men
below the rank of commissions are in
the great majority. v- '
It Is not an organization- for officers,

Following is an excerpt from the ten
tative constitution: " ''
"We, the members of the military and
naval service of the United States of
America in the great war. desiring to
1 perpetuate the principles of Justice, free
dom -and democracy for which we have
fought; to inculcate the duty and blK
cation of the citizen to the state; to
preserve the history and incidents of our
participation in the war; and- to cement
the ties of friendship formed in service.
n mmnnMt to-found and establish an
association for .the furtherance of
foregoing purposes." " - '.
Bringing Capital
And Labor Nearer
; j. Together; Purpose
"It has become apparent that ,-. the
stand pat and reactionary employer is
equally responsible with the agitator for
the unrest that exists. The former must
be educated, and the .latter eliminated,
"Employers must realize , that times
have changed i that every : honest and
loway employe is entitled to share fairly
in' what labor earns v : that . organized
labor acts as a buffer between them and
danger as a bulwark between organized
society-and- dissolution.' i '--h;
Accepting these as facts as a working
basis upon which to stimulate co-operation
among manual labor, mental labor
and capital labor, to hasten the process
of post-war reconstruction, to promote
business and to extend the government's
program of education, ' the Industrial
Peace council of Portland has launched
a movement to assist in expelling unrest.
4- oe council, which held its first meet
ing f of organization April 7, owes its
birtn to the Portland Ad club.
"The - council will : endeavor to teach
the employer and the employe that it is
good business for them to become good
friends, ' said Frederick T. Hyskell,
president of the organisation. "When the
two 'great parts of our industrial ma
chines become friends unrest nd dis
content will fade away, , because one
never attacks his real friends."

During the recent session of the leg

it necessary to build a new structure in.

poses the financing on such construc
tion which he believes will amount to
about 82.000,000 by the. selling of serial

A number of land seekers who-recent-ly
paid 1350 each for being "located on
unsurveyed lands contiguous to Silver
lake, in Lane county, are in , doubt as
to the soundneess of their investments
and have retained the services of Gus
C Moser to determine whether they have
Just ground for grievance against the
"locators." G., W. ' Embody, one of the
locators, with offices in the Northwest
ern national Bank building, also re
ferred to Mr. ... Moser as' bis - attorney,
though Mr, Moser stated Saturday that
he had not been retained to, represent
Embody. ' ; i
B. Winters, a real estate dealer living
at 6911 Whitman avenue. Bays that he
was a prospective squatter on the Silver
lake lands, but before Investing 1250 he
made inquiries at the offices of the at
torney general and the state land board
at Salem, and after listening to an opin
ion of Assistant Attorney General Van
Winkle, has decided to put his money
into Victory loan bonds or some other
equally good security.
According to Mr. Van Winkle, the
status of title to Silver lake has never
been determined and ... no one knows
whether it belongs to the state of Ore
gon, to the federal government., or to
riparian owners. If the land belong to
the government and is classified as un
surveyed agricultural land the "squat
ter" could squat on it with hope of ulti
mately securing title. . If It belongs to
the government and comes under the
head of desert land the squatter would
have no rights, neither may he squat
on state lands nor upon property belong
ing to riparian owners. -
Silver lake is described by Mr. Win
ters as a shallow, unnavigable lake fed
by waters from a number of small
creeks. A comparatively large volume
of the flow! of these streams has been
diverted from Its natural course, and as
a result the lake is rapidly drying up.
It is upon this drained area that squat
ters have been located.
The lake has not been surveyed, but Is
estimated to cover approximately 8500
acres. The soil Is described by locators.
according to Mr. Winters, as being of
extreme richness and capable of vast
yields of alfalfa and other crops. He
was told, he says, that it would be
possible in ;a very few years for one
to sell a homestead located there for
$100 per acre or more after having be
come quickly affluent from the proceeds
of annual crop sales.
Mr. Moser, attorney for the squatters,
was not prepared Saturday afternoon to
give an opinion as to whether 'the land
in question belongs to the government,
the state or to the riparian owners, or
whether it j may be classified as desert
or agricultural land. - '
Over 500 Vaccinated
More than 800 people have been vac
cinated during the last two days by the
cly health bureau, in ; an effort to stop
the spread of smallpox. Approximately
165 employes of Twohy Bros, received
the prophylaxcis after the discovery of
two cases where the sufferers had been
employed by Twohys.- One hundred and
twenty-five worker . were vaccinated at
the ' Portland laundry Saturday ; after
noon, " and "30 tenants of an apart
ment house at East Sixtieth and

Excerpt of a speech by Edward L. Greene of the Better Business
Commission of Cleveland, Ohio at a meeting of the advertising
men and women and ready-to-wear buyers at the Cleveland Adver
tising Club. Continuing, Mr, Greene said:'
"Compafative prices are the cause of most of
this wildcat advertising," he says. "1 call them
this because that is what they call wild mining
schemes,, and these are in the same class.
."Everyone is apt to let their enthusiasm run
away with them once in a while, but when they
go on doing it every day it is downright lying."
To illustrate his point, Mr. Greene showed
several examples of advertising which had re
cently appeared in Cleveland papers and which
represented his idea of good- and bad advertising.
Several of these were advertising 45 and 50 '
suit values at 25.
"Everyone knows that this is the big suit sea
son, and if those luits were actually worth 50
you'd be asking every cent of the 50 for them,
but they aren't, and you know it. You all go
to New York and are all offered practically the
same lines, and" there isn't one of you that can
values right along at that
In . the . best part of the
season.
legitimately give such
much of a reduction
Cocktail advertising is what it . really is, ac
cording to Mr. Greene, who says that the first
time you offer such things you give them one
drink, but the next time you have to give them
two in order to satisfy them, and so on, until you
have increased the drinks. to such an extent that
you have drunken people to deal with, and every
one knows you can't carry on a legitimate busi
ness with drunkards.
' Says people don't believe ads.
That people have gotten so that they don't
believe advertisements, was pointed out by a rep
resentative of the Ames Company (of Cleve
land), who told of an experience he had with a
sale of dresses which were formerly marked 30
and were put on sale one day at 25. When
he asked one of the , salesgirls at the end of the
day why she thought they hadn't sold she said
it was because when a woman saw a dress for
25 marked down .from 45 or 50 she figured
that perhaps the dress was really worth 30 or
35, but when there was only a small discount
she decided she wasn't saving anything.

Not alone because they have pioneered in the movement in

A comparative price is misleading, and often
untrue; it cannot be otherwise so this store
does not use them.
There is only one basis of comparison for price
and that is the lowest selling price in the city
on a similar article. Thus if atore advertises
a shirt as a 4, 5, 6 and even 7 value that
is no better tkan shirts that can be bought reg
ularly at 3.85 in other stores, someone is hav
ing it "putover" on them.
On the same principle this store, or any other
store that does not use comparative prices, may
hold a sale of an article -say handkerchiefs (the
value of which is difficult for a layman to de
termine) at a price less than the present, whole
sale cost, and then is immediately subjected to
this lying comparative competition.
An outlandish value is placed on the article
by the competitor with his comparative . price,
when analysis will show that the sale in the store
that merely invites patronage on merit offers' bet
ter values.
All of which is another way of saying that the shopping public
should "watch their step' and beware of the store that continually
uses extravagant comparative prices. ' .
Nor are we "tooting our own horn," for all this store asks is
a fair inspection of its merchandise. at any time "sale" or no
"salev with so-called "cut-price" merchandise elsewhere.
This store does, however, believe that the "sting-the-un wise"
policy in business ought to be brought to light, knowing that the
averageAmerican is enough of a thinker not to "fall" again.
