Brown, Advertising Manager The Capital Journal Salem, Oregon Dear Sir: We have just roceived word that the Montgomery Ward Salem store is the winner of first place in the recent Anniversary Sale contest which was held during the month of September. I know you will be particularly interested in our achievement inasmuch as your paper played such an important part in this contest as practically all of the advertising we used, during this period, was car ried by the Salem newspapers. We know that no sale can be even partially successful without the use of news paper advertising and that it was because of the large amount of newspaper advertising that we did during September that we were able to win this con test. t Along this same line, latest reports show Salem leading in our Ward Week coittest, now in progress. Again, may I thank you for the part you have played and for the help you have given us.

DAVIDSON, Store Mgr. is authority for the following N. High street, has his attention called to a noise which appeared to come from the stove. He admits that to him it Just sounded like air hammerings but, becoming somewhat curious, he with the oth era present, began an investiga tion. The stove top was lifted off but replaced when nothing was found When the stove was opened at the foot in the ashpit something moved around and the search switched quickly to the top again where the searchers were amazed to find a woodpecker. According to Lynch, the bird was in a sorry plight, eyes closed and grimed with soot, his feathers and feet apparently somewhat scorched, for although the fire was out the stove was still warm. A young man In the party took the bird outside and Lynch fol lowed firm in the belief that the woodpecker would fall an easy vie- time to some prowling cat. Maybe it did eventually but the last he saw of it it was spiraling upward depending more on it's sense of direction than on the ability to see.
