Advertising Vrged
R J. Hendricks said that what
the 'city needed was more adver
tising, and this did not necessar
ily mean advertising in newspa
pers. It meant that every person
In Salem should be convinced that
Salem and vicinity is the finest
country in the world and then
tell every one about it. That
would be true advertising, he
said.
"If we convince ourselves that
Salem is a wonderful town, there
is no question as to its future
growth " Mr. Hendricks said- "We
new rates and commodities affect
ed are now being prepares ana
will be ready for distribution lat
er in the day or tomorrow morn
ing. . ... The reductions range
at hlrh as 60 per cent on some of
the articles with a general average
reduction of about 20 per cent.

partment was standing on Its own
footing.

make up the store: rocerieg;

wear; mail; order; shipping; ac

gain basement.
The institution occupieso a
ground space only 55 ty 9 feet.
The basement and first two floors
are devoted to the retail trade
and the third floor is occupied by
the mall order, accounting and ad
vertising departments.
jin proportion to the amount of
floor space it is safe to state that
no; business institution of its kind
in the west transacts as much bus
iness as the People's Cash Store.
The volume of sales each year
since the1 store opened has been
as follows:
j First year.... 80,000
Second year .. . 500,000
i Third year. . . . 600,000
The amount of merchandise
sold this year is estimated at least
double that; of last year.' (The
general reduction In prices ac
counts for the fact that in dollars
and cents it does not double the
money receipts of the preceding
year). 1 j .

Advisory Group Busy
In connection with the work
during the conference by the
technical advisors and by the ad
visory committee, it was pointed
out that while the field of the
technical experts would be pri
marily limited to giving inforrtia
tion as to the special subjects the
advisory body could well serve to
op of the Methodist church for
Oregon. Washington and Alaska;
Dr. E- E. Gilbert, superintendeiat
of the Salem district; of the Meth

ton Shipley and O. D. Cummin.
Royston's wife sat beside him.
Her face was drawn and white
and she stared straight in front
with a hopeless Jock in her eyes
which were red and tear-swollen..
After the hearing in the mar
shal's office, she lost control of
herself and broke into bitter sobs.
Royston endeavored to cheer her
u by keeping his arm around
her, but with little effect. Silos
also shook the body of the 11-year-old
daughter.
The prisoner will probably bo
taken to McNeil island tomorrow
to begin his sentence.
And it Is seldom that the court..
in passing sentence, cannot look
over, the head of the defendant
and see soma mother, wife or
girl that will not suffer more than
he will suffer."
After the plea of guilty had
been entered, . Assistant United
States Attorney Lusk reviewed
the case for the benefit of the
court.
Royston had been an ordained
minister for nine years. In 1914
he becamt acquainted with Miss
Edwards, who was an orphan and
lived with her grandparents next
door to the residence of Royston,
his wife and small child.
When the girl was 15 years of
age Rayston started making love
to her. Secret meetings contin
ued until 1919, when the girl told
her grandmother of the affair.
She made a complaint to the
church authorities. Royston then
agreed to move out of the neighborhood.
This he complied with and ap
parently did not see the girl un
til April, 1921, when he met her
on the street, and resumed bis
acquaintance.
Wanted Her to Elope
On the night of June 29 or SO
he argued with the girl until
about 3 o'clock In the morning
until he finally persuaded her to
elope with him.
"God has revealed that she
(his wife) does not belong to
me, he was quoted by the prose
cutor as saying to the girl, when
she reminded him of his wife and
11-year-old daughter.
Go On Hike
They walked from Salem to
Oswego that night, and the next
day to Portland, where Royston
equipped himself In hikln
clothes. From Portland they went
to Vancouver on an electric car.
They camped just outside ot "that
city, and the next day walked to
Kelso, then to Centralia.
Girl as Shield
'You must take the blame.
They make it hard on a man, but
let a woman off easy," he told
the girl after authorities had ap
prehended them in Centralia,
Lusk said.
Although defense counsels, A.
M. Crawford and Edward J.
Shlnners made mild objections to
the review of Royston's early re
lations with the girl, they did not
attempt to dispute any of the
story which the assistant United.)
States attorney told.

MAC NIDER NAMED
.."- LEGION'S LEADER
(Continued from page 1)
KANSAS ClTY.fNov. 2. (liv
the Associated Press) The ' na
tional convention of the American
legion adjourned tonight tter
electing Hauford Mac Nider of
Mason City. la., national com
mander, selecting other officers
and adopting resolutions covering
many guojects.
The election of Mc. Mac Nider
to succeed John G. Emery or
Grants Pass, Mich., was made
unanimous after more than half
of the state delegations had sec
onded his nomination and three
other candidates nominated. Roy
Hoffman of Oklahoma City, Enrl
C. McCline of Nebraska and Jo!n
F. Williams of Joplin. Mo., had
withdrawn in his favor.
Vice commanders elected were:
George L. Berry of Rogersville,
Tenn.; H. Nelson Jackson of Bur
lington, Vt., and Charles Kendrick !
of San Francisco; representing
the army, and Raymond Urackett
of Marblehead, Mass., and J. A.
McCormick of .Fort Lyon, Colo.,
the navy.
The!; Rev. Earl Blackman of
Chanute, Kan., was elected na
tional chaplain.
A fight for the removal of the
national legion headquarters from
Indianapolis to Kansas City,
which the Missouri delegation
promised to bring to the floor, did
not develop.
The daisy was adopted b7 unan
imous vote as the official flower
of the legion.
The election of officers conclud
ed an all-day session marked by
debate and wrarigling over sec
tions of the resolutions commit
tee report, particularly ons criti
cizing the speech delivered by
George Harvey, ambassador to
Great Britain, shortly after his
arrival in Epgltnd. After the
address, Mr Harvey discussed the
reasons why thth United States
entered the war. :
Substitute Demanded
The original resolution was
thrown out on a roll call and a
substitute adopted. The substi
tute was written, in less sharp
terms and expressed the belief
that the ambassador's remarks did
not represent the true feeling for
which the American legion stand-:.
It directed that a copy of the res
olution be sent to President Hard
ing.
Two resolutions bearing on fed
eral compensation for former sol
diers were among those adopted
Both declared In favor of Immed
iate compensation legislation. One
submitted by the convention s teg
isiative committee : declared that
"after careful consideration of all
of the arguments advanced In op
position to the measure, including
the letter of the secretary of the
treasury and the address of the
Dresident to congress, we still
firmly believe in the justice, Tajr
pess and immediate necessity of
the adjusted compensation ims
pre." The resolution adds that t
is resolved that the legion "reaf
firms Its stand upon adjusted
compensation and asks that roa
gres pass th's measure without
further equivocation or delay. . j
i Chemical Flgbt Taken lj
The other compensation reso:n.
tion adopted was offered by the;
resolutions committee. It assert
ed that the legion reiterates its
position in favor of the adjusted
compensation for discharged sol
diers and deplores the request of;
President Harding to delay VK,
sage hy congress of such a meast
ure "and the acquiescence of con
gress in that request."
Hesides the section re!atinj to
Colonel Hrvev. the only part ol
the resolutions committee? report
trw niuAt nr-mwition was that rs-
latins to indorsement by the
riton of the proposal -' tne
chemical industry be developed
with a view of making chemical
warfare a more important art of
the nation's defenses. The reso
lution wa? tabled pending inves
tigation of charges made that fi
nancial interests were soaking to
influence the legion to indorse the
proposal, t - the matter broke
out on the floor again When a mo
tion was made to reconsider and
charees of financial interest in tho
nronosal were repeated. The con
vention affirme Its previous ac
tion which referred the resolution
to the national executive executive
committee.
The original resolution de
nouncing Colonel Harvey asserted
that his words were "a miserable
calumny of a little mind domin
ated by envy and Jealousy and in
capable of appreciating the higa
erMdeals of life and therefore is
ascribing to others the other mo
tives which it is able to under
stand." I1
The resolution would have rep
resented to the , president that
"Colonel Harvey was unfit to
hold any office whatsoever In
the gift of the land," and assert
ed that "a public rebuke and an
immediate recall would be pun
ishment mild in form compared
with the enormity of the offense
which he has committed."
The motion was debated at
length before Hnally being tabled.
The substitute was offered by
Delegate Cr ly of Ohio, and wa3
adopted amid cheers. -
On licrgdoH's Trail
Besides he Harvey resolutnn,
compensation and chemical war
fare sections, the report of the
resolutions committee contained
paragraphs indorsing the confer
ence on armament, opposed grant
ing amnesty to Eugene V. Debs,
now serving a term In federal
prison at Atlanta for violation cf
the war-time laws and other vio
lators ot war-time statutes, and
urged that all publicity be given
draft lists, and that every effort
be made to apprehend Grover C.
Bergdoll, draft evader.
in regard to uebs and other
war-time offenders, the resolu
tion said that the legion entered
a solemn protest against the miti
gation of any such sentenced,
while "ex-servico men are being
held for trivial violations of the
articles of war."
Citizen Training Urged
Another resolution urged that
the government give all pos&ible
preference to the employment of
former service men while still
another extended the greetings of
the convention to former Presi
dent Wilson, wishing him "a
speedy and complete recovery
from an illness Incurred In tl

FOURTH BUSINESS
H FOB FIRM
Tomorrow will mark the fourth
anniversary of the People's Cash
Store- a store which has bad a
growth that is nothing short of
phenomenal a store which is a
credit to this community and
would be an outstanding Institu
tion in a community many times
the size of Salem
The story of Its rise from an
unpretentious beginning on No
vember 4, 918, to its prestnt
yearly sales of over $600,000, is a
tftbute to the efficacy of careful
business methods backed by wide
awake advertising,
On the fourth day of Novem
ber, 1918, Max Solof. purchased
the Farmers' Cash Store on North
High street. His large acquain
tance In and around Salem had
brought .him a considerable pa
tronage, -and this Was augmented
by a constantly increasing voluma
of business attracted by his ag
gressive advertising of low prices,
Soon, the business outgrew the
capacity of the High street loca
tion, and the present location.
formerly known . as Stockton's.
was leased and opened for busi
ness March 1, 1919
At this time the People's Cash
Store was simply a general mer
chandise store and only eight
people were necessary to conduct
it. However, Mr. Solof planned
a large Institution and was con
rident of his ability to accom
plish his plans. By quantity buy
ing he was enabled to quote low
prices to his patrons and- these
prices were prominently displayed
In the newspapers. He opened a
publicity department and supple
mented his newspaper advertising
by circularizing tie population
tor many miles around Salem
The business grew with sur
prising rapidity. The store, was
constantly crowded with custom
era and the mail order business
became so large that It became
necessary to open a . mall-order
and shipping department. 'At the
