a nun STORE DRAWS THRONG v Hew Establishment on North Commercial Serves Public in Unique Way. '.. The new Busick store on North Commercial street; - was ; opened Friday; with . thousands ot ' Salem people passing In throagh, r Its ddors to, inspect wi-a -lias come to toe; a real Salem Institution. But : the new store is a far finer de . velopment of the old Busick store idea than either of the older 'stores; The 'company hag Operat ed two stores in the city, the lar ger one being at State and Com merclal, and the other two blocks ..north. The latter will be retained for a while, but the Murphy cor ner building at State street is re leased. Busicks had held It for fire, 'years, until this week, i -' Self -Serving Developed i The store is a development of the self-serving plans adopted for ; the other Busick stores at Albany, Corvallis : and Woodburn," only that it is larger and 'finer than any of the others. The general idea is to allow the customers to , help .themselves, the clerks only doing the wrapping op, if the eus- torn er, .wishes it so. The counters are, in the center of the big room, so that there could be. a clerk . tying parcels from each side; li clerks could . operate .' at . once, wrapping . parcels that the cus tomers pick out. ' f -' The goods ar& all marked in 'plain prices, so that ,'the customer . can pick-out exactly what j be wants by the price tag. f The bulk goods are to be shown by sample, . and wrapped in standard pack ages; such as' sugar for, 25; cents, ., S 0 cents, and a dollar: beans for .- the same sized packages and so on .where -there are good standard - price units that cover the tisual purchases. : These will be prepar ed during the slack hours. of the day, so that when the rush comes they will, be y ready. There are . two doors,; and a constant stream of customers can be coming: and v going,4 without possible - conges i tlon. . - Public Trusted . ' "We ard not afraid to trust the public . anywhere in our store," t said William Busick, the working - genins of the establishment. "We mlgh lose a little stuff by pecu- !- latlons, but it win not ever! ap- - p roach the tax of extra clerk hire that the public must pay. for. By this present arrangement, allow ing the public to help serve itself in the interest of saving time of waiting, 'two clerks can do the work' of three in the old way, and the saving of the buying public's time rims Into astonishing fig- . u res in the course of a year. This qukk and accurate service we ire going to make the supreme fea ture of tbastore.

One of the, finest offices In the state of Oregon has been built up overhead, in the middle , of the store. The high ceiling of -the main room ? makes it possible to double-deck this office .portion. The office has : an : almost solid north glass ' frontage '. ; on Court street, and will "be a delightful place, to work' in. ; - f.- ! "' . , The company does a consider able wholesale business, handling the goods from here for, the other three stores, 'as well as. selling to other grocers." The back half of the building is the wholesale de partment, and they also have the upstairs of the building over the rear half of the store. An eleva tor will give them the easy use of this valuable room for the whole sale trade. i . . . . s : Growth Phenomenal . i ' The Busicks have built up their whole train of stores, from noth ing within the past few years. There are six of the family in, the new baiem store; three . on the main floor, two in the office, and one in the wholesale department. They have been working along for. this big new store for a long time, planning . the : - details that should make it a rear Innovation for the public benefit in the way of service." Now that they have the new place, they ; expect to make the innovation justify Itself in price and service. ; ' Tone Up the Kidneys '" -"Symptoms jof Kidney trouble are all , gone, j Water is - . clewr f.nd does not i burn.

Last iNigm is Miienuea by Large Crowd. .; The Auburk Community club teld an interesting and profitable nesting at the Auburn school- house last . night, attended by a crowd that filled the building to capacity. The meeting was called co listen to an address by Prof. A. H. Lunn. head of the poultry de partment of Oregon Agricultural college's 1 .- riulCSSUl uuuu Dyuac i u taiui if a larger and a more persistent interest in. the poultry industry. He said poultry ranks ; third ' in volume among all the industries of Hhe United Statesj, corn coming second, and dairying first. He urged greater study and better methods,' and cautioned against new men in the industry becoming discouraged. If one is 'o get out of the poultry industry. into .what industry shall he go, that promises '. better returns for rhard and intelligent and interest ing work? He said Oregon Is now shi pi ping 75 cars annually of eggs to the eastern markets; mostly to the city, of New York; whereas, up to six-years ago this state was a large importer of eggs. Many Questions Asked - Professor Lunn, , after his - ad- dress, turned the meeting into an Informal ' one for the asking and answering of , questions.' There were many questions. Below are fust a few samples. What' is a good substitute for kale for green feed? Answer, root crops, ; such as mangels. One poultryman makes a specialty of feeding mangels with success. As a last resort, feed clorer or al falfa hay. Moisten the hay. Whit is ' the Importance of green feed? The answer is, as the studies of Dr. McCollum have shown, that breeding stock, espe cially needs much green feed; es pecially for the vitamines. Green barley Is used much 'in the Peta luma. district. Potatoes are ot little yalue. They are principally starch. : Even when fed boiled, mixed with other1 feed, they are generally too fattening. How about! dry oats? .? Answer, they are of ' U very -high, Talu; but ' they must bet oats of good quality. Just now, at the college, corn and wheat are being fed; fo oats, because good oats cannot :, , -. I .

But look out for it in the "summer season. j Some of -the biggest poultrymen of the Puget sound country aTe putting In herds of cows, to get the usev of skim milk for their chickens. r. About lightr Professor Lunn says the college chickens are not 'lighted. But he is himself a poultryman; his poultry farm be ing just west of the . college grounds. He uses a lighting sys ; tem so as to ; give the chickens a longer working day in the Winter season. So far, it is largely ex perimental. No one can say, yet, Just how valuable Is the system. Poultrymen will know more about this a few years hence. He turns on the " electri lights at 5 : 3 0 In the morning. About heavy nreeds, for meat? When some one finds a breed that is heavy and yet lays white eggs, perhaps there will ' be more ten dency to change.
