The Harpathian was a freighter of 2800 tons net. I The submarines operating off the coast had not previously ln?en heard from since the Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was sent down at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, 'some 40 miles off the Virginia capes.

The French steam-1 er Radioleine was attacked off Mary land early Tuesday morning and about the same time the schooner Edward R. Baird Jr. was sunk, fur ther down the coast.

The aooreclatlon shown by thei shoppers at last year's Bargain Day assures the success of Salem's Sec ond Annual Bargain Day to be held Saturday, June 15. The constantly increasing whole sale cost of merchandise caused the merchants to feel a sort of reluctance toward holding a Bargain Day this ear. They realized that to replace the goods which will be sold on Barraln Day they will In many in stances have to pay a wholesale price higher than that received from the Bareain Day shoppers. v However, so many requests for a repetition of Bargain Day came pour ing in from residents all over the country that the wish of the public has prevailed aad practically all the orojcressive merchants or baiem win offer special Inducements on this day of all days for economical buying. This action on the part of the mer chants should be appreciated for they are really making a big sacrifice in reducing prices at this time. It is a generally recognized fact that all kinds of merchandise can be purchased right . now in Salem at a price that is considerably lower than is charged In otae- commun ities.
