i . ' United PURITY News --- r t 1. , . - wwv t "" " v The Official Weekly United n : C. M. Lee, Editor and Manager Editorial Offices, Trade and Cottle Streets, Salem, Oregon Votl Our Greeting to You! . THE world is merging. Peoples are drawing together in interests and activity. Business is discovering the economy of united action, v - One of the developments that prove this fact is the growth of chain store organizations throughout the United States and the world. The independent retail store owner has been faced with problems such as have never before in the history of merchandis ing confronted him. But the independent retailer has been telling his customers all these years that he is progressive, operating on sound business principles .and ready to employ every modern device that will save money for the people with whom he does business. : Yet he has been seriously handicapped in the last few years by the activities of the corporations that have been buying up great chains of stores and, through the great buying power they can ex ercise, cutting prices to a point where the little buyer could not compete. Now, however, a great group of progressive Oregon retail gro cerymen have solved the problem. They have pooled their interests for buying and have associated buying organization. This gives United PURITY Stores organization is one of the largest buying powers in the grocery business on the Pacific coast. Nevertheless, your grocer remains strictly independent. He owns his own store. He selects his own merchandise. He deals with you on exactly the same up-to-date basis that you have en joyed in the past. Nothing is changed xcept, perhaps, the paint on his store and its interior arrangement plus this great buying power with whfch he has allied. If you have enjoyed delivery service and credit privileges at his store heretofore, you rtiay continue on just that same basis, no doubt. If you have found on his shelves the particular brands you like most, you will continue to find him ready and happy to serve you in the same courteous, careful, manner. - , . But back of your friend, the grocer, now stands a vast orsrani zation created by your grocer and him to go into the market places of oi loodstims you want and to sell them to you at a price you have a right to expect to pay for first quality merchandise. Your grocer has allied himself with this organization so that he can buy in competition with the great corporations that, be cause of this very buying power, have been able to sell formless. Now the tables are turned, and no grocer can undersell your United PURITY Store. i Your grocer has employed the most experienced grocery buy ers, men who, by reason of their long experience, know what you wan and what you wish to pay for what you want. They have the capacity now to buy in carload lots and sometimes even in trainload lots at great savings. Every nickel of these savings can be passed on to the consumer. You know, of course, that several hundreds of stores can buy more cheaply than one "or a dozen stores. You know that you can buy a case of canned goods relatively cheaper than you can buy ntfcan. It is on this same principle that United PURITY Stores are operating. They are buying In enormous quantities for a great number of stores and are saving hundreds of dollars for the mem ber stores and for the customers of each United PURITY Store. Remember: This great-buying power brings the saving right Into your own pocketbook. "' , v Remember: Your United PURITY Store still is your own handy, friendly grocer, hot some great corporation doing business many miles away. The United PURITY Store you patronize is owned, usually, by the man who operates it; the man who lives in your community and pays taxes in your city or county and state. In fact, to all the good old friends of each of these fine stores, and to all the new friends who are going to come to these stores for the savings that will be offered them, we want to say again that: United PURITY Stores are YOUR stores! We will welcome you in any one of the United PURITY Stores And we will be happy to have you as a reader for United PURITY News. . , We hope to make this little weekly newspaper a welcome visi tor in your home a visitor that will be entertaining and, per haps, instructive, to every member of the family. At least, we can assure you, your careful attention to United PURITY News each week will be the means-of saving money for you. . early and Yonder J : byT.T.UAXET TheCabUdo 'fpZHBAPS no building la New Or I leans holds mora Interest for the jstranger than the Cabildo that solid, dignified structure of unquestioned JIme. two stories high with a mansard root ' . ; ,' The guide Informs its that It was so Mined from the municipal council jwhlch sat here under ISpanlsb rule When It was the government house or ' palace of Justice and that It was "put BP" In 1785.

The csuse Is e microscopic organism. The transmis sion of Infection from diseased to healthy birds occurs by contamina tion of the feed, water and ground. The coccldla multiply with greet rap idity In the Intestines and enormous numbers are discharged In the drop pings. The most prominent and character istic symptoms la nearly all cases are white, diarrheal dischargee and the rapid wasting away of the affected birds. Adult birds have considerable resistance to this germ and the dis ease Is frequently; eeen in the chronic form. There Is no satisfactory cure for this disease in young chickens.

TI 7XIVS the present-Bepubllcaa ma VV jorlty In the house of representa tives i be called upon to pick our next President from among the Demo crats, the situation would, be roughly comparable to that which prevailed In that strange, turbulent fourth Ameri can election of 1800 la which Thomas Jefferson finally was seated In - the President's chair largely through the neraonal efforts of his most bitter po litical antagonist, Alexander Hamil ton. Federalist psrty fortunes under four vears of President John , Adams naa fallen low. In opposition, Jeffersonlsn Republicans (forerunners of modern Democrats) presented such ,a - solid front that George Washington, then In retirement, despairingly exclaimed 1 "Let that party set up a broomstick, and call It a true son of liberty a democrat or give it any other epithet that will euit their purpose, ana 11 wui command their votee In toto," Federalists tried to draft Washing ton 'himself for a third term; but the "Father of Ills Country" died suddenly in December, 1709, probably before these overtures reached him In the dosL Federalists then resigned themselves to making another campaign with President Adams. Early in 1800 a caucus of Federalist congressmen se lected the President as their candidate to succeed himself, with Charles OL PInckney of South Carolina as his running-mate. Jeffersonlan congressmen. In a simi lar caucus, picked the' sage of Monti cello to head their ticket, with Aaron Burr of New York for vice president. The factional rift In the Federalist ranks at once burst open wide. Alex ander Hamilton, powerful boss of the anti-Adams Federalists, Issued a vin dictive letter criticising Adsms as Jeal ous, egotistical. Ill-tempered, arbitrary. This pamphlet, designed for quiet cir culation only among a few of Hamil ton's Federalist friends, promptly fell Into the hands of the crafty Colonel Burr. Be sent copies abroad among Jeffersonlsn newspapers, which print ed them In high glee. "Alexander Pamphlet" became a Republican nick name for the discomfited Hamilton, while furious Adam pamphleteers set to work to refute Ida criticisms. Jefferson, for bis part, as in the campaign of 1800, had to sustain much personal abuse, largely on the score of his free thinking la religious mst ters. As election returns from the states trickled rlowly In, It wss apparent that the Federalists were beaten. Repub lican elation knew no bounds. Church bells burst under too vigorous ringing. Federalists were facetiously threaten ed with a raise In the price of shaves st the barber shops because their faces bad become so long. But elation soon gave way to per plexities with realization that, under the old system of voting, Jefferson and Burr had received a tie vote of 78 each. Slxty-flre votes went to Adams, 04 to PInckney, one to John Jsy. This, of course, meant that the choice between Jefferson snd Burr for the Presidency would be thrown Into the lower house of congress. And there Federalists, not Republicans, con trolled a majority of the stste votes! The house of representatives, with exception of one sick member, mus tered a run attendance ror the deci sive treat Another sick member had himself carried Into the Capitol In his bed rather than miss participating In the voting. On the first vote, taken by ststes on February 11, 1801, eight of the sixteen ststes were found to be for Jefferson six for Burr, and two, Ter mont and Maryland, divided giving neither candidate a majority. 'These results being steadily maintained, con gressmen sent, out for pillows and nightcaps and snoozed In their seats or on the floor, between the successive ballots which were taken at Intervals all through the night. At the prospect thst Burr might be chosen President, none wss more aghast than Hamilton who later was to die by Burr's band la a duel. Ham ilton hated Jefferson, but more be dis trusted the wily manipulator from bis own state. 80 he did all In bis power, snd with considerable effect, to In duce bla Federalist friends to cause Burr's defeat. Finally on the thirty-sixth ballot, taken February 17, one Federalist from Vermont, by prearrangement, absented himself, two from Maryland dropped In blank votes, and these ststes, which . bad been divided on previous ballots, cast their choices for Jefferson,, giving him 10 votes to Burr's 6. - Hamilton bad succeeded In electing bis principal political adversary. Re publicans derisively gave the toast, "Alexander Hamilton ; few men have done more to promote the election of Thomas Jefferson. The devil should have hla due." But "Jefferson, the liammoth of Democracy." was the more popular toast drunk In the taverns, and Jubila tion with which Jeffersonlan partisans acclaimed their victory waxed so en thusiastic that a t Philadelphia Fed eralist newspaper sourly complained that since the election the ' price of gin and whisky bad gone up 60 per cent. i';.

Faunce had not been expected jA Mapleton so soon after his triumph ant reception In New York, where, exalted Into prominence by. Over ton's tragic death, . he had been iialled as the leading survivor of the brave band of explorers. But, with that Infatuated seal with which the tooth seeks the candle, he had re turned almost Immediately to the place where he was sure to feel the radiant flame of Diane Herford's charm. However well aware she may have been In the past of the young pian's Incipient Infatuation. Diane, Favncenr presence mad had almost forgottea thoee early passages in. their lives when she had made a conquest of a college boy'e heart at a time when, with the sublime optimism of youth, he had worn it Joyously upon his sleeve Since then several years had Inter vened, rich In experience. She had felt the force of a deeper emotion, suffered the actual pang of bereave ment, seen a hope, beautiful and thrilled with an exquisite tender ness, lost forever with the gallant hero who had perished almost with in sight of the goal that he had sought with such courage and such devotion. That he had nota spoken more definitely at parting, that their un derstanding was tacit rather than actual, only deepened her grief by depriving her of the right to Indulge It 81nce she was thus denied the frlvllege- of openly mourning the oss of Overton, and must force herself to speak of him and to hear .his death discussed with apparent composure, Diane was listening now to the becoming modesty with which Arthur Faunce was quietly assuming the dead man's mantle. "Tea, he was a brave fellow," Judge Herford declared In his Olympian tones. "But what a tragic end to fall by the way, almost In sight of the goal!" "As Moses died In eight of the promised land!" sighed IfraPrlce, her host's cousin, the plump and amiable wife of the dean of a neigh boring theological seminary.

Faunce aeemed to flinch, and an expression 'of such keen distress passed over his handsome face that' It awoke a glow of sympathy, al most of cordiality; In the breast of Diane Herford. There was a little silence. Mrs. Price, her daughter, Fanny, her husband, the dean, and Dr. Gerry i all stopped talking to listen to the young man's expected reply..

Faunce had been eadmlrable all the evenings-brilliant, convincing, and yet becomingly modest; r but now he stretched out an unsteady hand, lifted his wine-glass to his lips, tried In vain to swallow some liquor, and set It down with a ges ture of despair. "Don't speak of it!" he exclaimed In a faltering voice. "We were to gether I can never forget It, I " He broke off, and recovered him self. "Pardon me If I can't talk of It, can't tell you about It yet. The time may come, but now" He ceased speaking and stared straight In front of him with unsee ing eyes, his powerful but shapely hand unconsciously clenched on the edge of the table. Dr. Gerry, an old family friend and an eminent practitioner, sus pended his dissection of the duck to cast a keen glance at Faunce. He had the searching eyes of the professional observer, set well back under heavy brows, a quantity of short red hair, and a square Jaw that was somewhat relieved by the whimsical lines about his tight. the dinner important. thin-lipped mouth and the pucker at the corners of his eyes. There was a significance in the doctor's glance which did not es cape the troubled eyes of Diane. She knew that Dr. Gerry had long ago surmised her attachment to Overton, and her hand trembled slightly as she picked up her fork and tried once more to make a pre tense of eating her dinner. She was so completely absorbed In her own unhapplness 'that she awoke from her reverie to find that she had lost the thread of the con versation, which had been hastily re sumed to cover Faunce's collapse, "We're puny creatures," her fa ther was saying In the tone of a pessimist "What do our efforts amount to, after all? There's a say ing and It's true that 'a man's life Is like a candle In the wind, or hoar frost on the tiles.' It's blown away or melted off, and there's nothing left!

"He had more than that papa," Diane commanded herself to say quietly, lifting her head with a re current thrill of pride. "No one oould know him without realizing that he had aupremely the courage to live to live as he believed a man should." ' At the sound of her voice Faunce) turned his head sharply, and his face flushed, but his eyes dwelt on her with such earnestness that DW ane, suddenly meeting his look. stopped In confusion. It wss almost a relief to hear her father's tranquil retort "Dl's a good friend," he observed throwing her a benevolent smile. "She always defends the absent And ehe'e right this time. Overton had courage enough to have been allowed to live.' Of no man could It be said more truly than of Over ton that 'he loved his fellow men.' Dr. -Gerry nodded. "That's so. Di.

That only brings us back agala to the original proposition," re joined Judge Herford. "It's an' af firmative verdict we've established hla courage!" Haven't we got an example of that right before us 7" cried Mrs. Prloe, with a little bubbling sound of enthusiasm like the pleasant hum of a teakettle. "Here's Mr. Faunce!"
