The site of Gaza, in Palestine, has been hallowed by the passing of near ly 4 000 years of recorded history, and while "the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza" may have seemed a considerable journey to Philip. Gaza is"but a little farther to the southwest of Jerusalem than Salem is from Albany. Residents of Gaza will show the visitor Samson's tomb. The tradi tion of his burial there is unfoand ed. but there is more reason for be lieving that a bare, isolated knoll to the south of the city is the hill "be fore Hebron" to which the strong man carried the "doors of the gate of the city and the two posts.

Why We Chose Sandow Trucks THERE are some mighty good lru;k$ that don't bear the Sandow Trade Mark. No denying that Our problem was more difficult be cause of this. For our idea was tJ get a track that was not only equal in every aspect to the recognized leaders but if possible more. Investigation of the whole track field took us to Chicago. There we found that the Sandow was immensely popular. Th) greatest industrial . firms, such as the Standard Oil Company and Armour & Company, were using whole fleets of San dows.

Putting the movies Into the church has in most cases resulted in bene fit to- both. It has enlarged and slightly changed the character of the .attendance at the church and has raised the quality of films used in the theater. Furthermore the repu tation of the church for begging of always wanting something for nothing is cleared. People find the church without be ing especially rged. to come and they recognise an obligation to it while they are there. It is also recognized that the heart and brain can be reached as effec tively through ' the eye as by the spoken word. Best of all is a com bination of both, and movies inci dent Jto the church service supply this in its most efficient form. f We investigated the Sandow. We found it point for point, the equal of any truck in America, but having in addi tion five vital, exclusive features that no other truck has, nor can have. A big advantage for the Sandow, we thought. We found that each of these five fea tures was conceived with one definite object economy of upkeep and main tenance. The Sandow Motor Rocker Block to illustrate: It prevents brok en motor legs or crank cases. - And we found that the Sandow was the only truck in the world thus safeguarded. No Sandow ever made had suffered a broken motor leg or crank case from torsional strains that break these parts in ordinary' trucks. . A saving of hun dreds of dollars made alcne by this one Sandow invention and exclusive fea ture. Yet there were four other equal ly important and which effectively re duced truck costs. The most economical truck to own and operate and maintain. That's what we sought. That's why we chose the San dow. That's why we recommend It to you. That's why the Sandow will soon be the most popular truck in this sec tion. Come in and see the truck and those five vital, exclusive featues. Five sizes 1, l1 2, Zy2 and 5 tons. THE B. & C.

A that and California orator Is preaching "Religion and reason are one inseparable." The statement sounds good, and the acceptance of It as a truth wonld probably help over many apparently Insurmounta ble obstacles In the pathway of thought. The word has long looked forward to the reconciling of relig ion and science, of faith and lagici snd perhaps the time Is hot far dis tant when such a reconciliation shall be apparent. And why not? Creeds February; spring is coming. S S It is your duty to help make Du roc day, Wednesday, red hog day, in Salem, a red-letter day. The -bl? men in the swine breeding world will be here. . ". "- The North Fourth Street Improve ment association, in which Benjamin R. Perkins is one of .the leading spir its, is planning for a paving of that street. The idea is to get a fifty fifty proposition; this is. half to be paid by the general public and hair by the abutting property holders. It would be better to adopt the Canad ian plan, of one-third by the city one-third by the district, and one- third by the abutting property hold ers. This scheme, properly worked out. would be trood for Salem. It wonld result In new. paving each year. Two friends st Christmas time gave $3 each to the boys' trainin? school, all of which was used to pay subscriptions for Boys' Life, Ameri can Boy, Illustrated World.
