Yeater and Rush In New Location Removal to new and enlarged quarters at 255 N. Liberty is the way Yeater & Rush company, operated by Douglas Yeater and "Bill" Rush, marks its first anniversary. The firm is dealer for Westlnghouse products for this community. The favorable outlook for the major appliance business in 1039 and the need for greater storage space which would allow larger purchases at savings to be passed on to customers, were cited by the firm as reasons for moving from the original Commercial street location. A long-term financing arrange ment with Electric Home and Farm authority, making possible monthly payments low enough for the aver age worker to have a complete elec tric home with up to four years In which to pay, will be a contributing factor in 1S39 sales, Yeater and Rush predicted. Carload of Ranges Sold An outstanding accomplishment of the firm in Its first year In busi ness was purchase and sale within 90 days of the first Olid carload of ranges ever shipped into Salem. This record received widespread re cognition with more than a page write-up in a trade magazine of the electrical industry, "Electric West." Yeater and Rush recently re turned from Portland where they witnessed a preview of the 1939 Westlnehouse line. Outstanding fea ture of the new refrigerator, they pointed out, is the "True Temp" control, an exclusive Westlnghouse feature which guarantees a positive degree of temperature inside the re frigerator regardless of outside room temperature. The new "meatkeeper" standard on all models, designed to keep meat without dehydration, also attracted interest at the preview, they reported. Both Yeater and Rush had con siderable experience In the major appliance field before embarking on an independent enterprise of their own just a year ago. Yeater 'a ex perience dates back to nine years; Rush's for five. Redwood Tree Will Be Lighted On account of sentiment on the part of t good many Salem residents the redwood tree In 8ummer street, where It obstructs traffic and vision, will not be removed, but a protec tive light will be placed on the tree instead. The street committee reported to the council that while the tree ought to be taken out of the street there was so much sentiment against It that the light was recom mended. The report was adopted.

The two men, serving IS years each In the Oregon penitentiary (or bank robbery, repeated confessions made 2i yean ago which at that time were discredited by Perryton authorities who regarded the con fesslons as a hoax. Saturday the bones of a child were found on a Panhandle ranch causing the Perryton officials to attach greater credulity to the Ore gon confessions. The Investigation was reopened. The two brothers were questioned again and repeated the story. Claud, 40, and Elmer, 42, said J M. Cone agreed to pay them 11,000 to murder his two sons, J. M. Cone, Jr., 10, and Vernon Cone, 6, because he didn't want to be encumbered with them when he "ran off with another woman." They said the father paid them only $250 so Claud shot him. They said each shot one child and buried them 20 or 25 miles southeast of Perryton. Elmer told Gerald Mason and Ce ell Edwards of the parole board, "I tried to forget it and I couldn't, so I told the story and feel better. Ill have to go back to Texas to face It sooner or later, so It might as well be now." Claud refused to say whether he wanted to return to Texas. Edwards and Mason said they were Inclined to believe the men. "If they didn't actually commit the crime they certainly had guilty knowledge, because their story check ed on many points," the parole members said. Perryton, Tex., Feb. 21 (P) Sher iff J. 8. Talley said today the bones of a child found near here were sent to Austin headquarters of state po lice in an effort to ascertain their Identity. Talley said he thought the bones may be those of J. M. Cone, Jr., 10, or Vernon Cone, 8, who have been missing seven years. Two Oregon convicts, Claud and Elmer Tenison. serving 18 months for robbery, told parole board members they killed the boys on promise of $1,000 from the father. Then, according to their story, the father was slain because he did not pay off In full. A verdict of suicide was returned in the death of the elder Cone, May 31, 1932, a day after the boys had vanished.

Not Responsible For Turner Road For the reason that Turner road from Mission street to the east city limits was taken over by the county to be part of the Santlam highway the city council declined last night to take over the road and maintain it. Two weeks ago petitioners asked the city to see to the oiling of the road to protect residents against dust during the summer months. The committee investigating for the Cornell found that property owners had been at an expense of several hundred dollars In land do nations and in moving buildings with the understanding that the county was to improve the road. The committee In Its report stated It would be an injustice to the prop erty owners for the city to take back the road for the reason that proper ty owners would then have to bear the cost of street improvements.

Human beings who would fall an easy prey to many dangerous diseases are made immune by simple treatments which can be ad ministered by every physician. The smallpox danger is eliminated by vaccination. Typhoid fe ver, tetanus, rabies, diphtheria and other such things which were formerly deadly or extremely dangerous are now preventable or their attacks are made far less fearsome by preventive medicine. It Is Impossible even to surmise how tremendously human life would be conserved if everyone would make It a policy to get the physician's attention as soon as approaching illness Is even sus pected. The druggist plays a part In the conservation of human life In exact proportion to the kind of prescription department he main tains. Ours is the kind which is kept prepared at all times to ren der real service. Capital Drugstore Corner State and Liberty Sts.
