What makes a good picture? Many:
things. Among these are original plots
(a rare animal these days); genuine
talent and good technique. In very,
few pictures Is this happy comblna-j
Hon found, chiefly.
During the past week two or three'
pictures that meet these requirements;
and should please the most film-:

These -represent drama, serio-comique;
and comedy.
, Without doubt the livest and at the
same "time the cleanest serlo-comedy j
to appear in Salem for many weeks
is "Nothing But The Truth" at Ye
Liberty, May 20-22, in which Taylor

brilliant cast. In fact during the por-j

Fashion has decreed the sports skirt a necessity
of the summer wardrobe. And surely it is a de
lightful necessity when one finds such lovely
models as we are now showing. Your skirt may be a gleamy white or a pastel
shade of delicate tint. .When worn with the sheer blouses of the present mode, a
silk sports skirt becomes a thing of beauty.
We regret that we were able to secure only a hundred and fifty of these skirts,
for they were such a fortunate buy that we are able tq price them most attractively.
We will doubtless have many more calls for these skirts than we can accommodate,
but, of course, it is the early shopper that will reap the advantage of this sale.
IMAGINE THEM
And Priced at Only
. The workmanship, quality and styles of these skirts we
guarantee to be of the best.

The People
of Salem
Should know that the W. W.
Moore Co. stage no sensational
sales. We do not believe in
marking our goods up and then
staging a big so-called "Sale."
A merchant is in business to make money. If he advertises "At Cost" and "Below Cost"
there is something wrong because he can not operate his store without a profit any more
than you could keep up your home without an income. Here is how we mark our goods.
Cost plus'overhead expenses, then a small profit.
This gives you a moderate and fair price on not only a couple of "Specials" but on all
goods in our store, and that means everything from basement to attic.

Oil Stoves
Are the ideal cooking devices for Summer. They do
not heat up the room to a disagreeable temperature. Can
your fruit on an oil stove and it will be a pleasure. The
old method is real work. Then too, you are not wasting
fuel because when your cooking is through the consump
tion of your fuel stops. t ,
We feel that we have the most up-to-date and economical oil stoves in Salem,
is surprisingly low. See them in our window.
