Come Out in the Open An Essay by Stanley I am getting pretty tired of some of the slush that is being handed out by Mr. Pierce, who conducts a grocery store under the assumed name of The Table Suppy Co., and I am going to put right up to the peo ple the methods used by this man to down the Stanley grocery store. v- And I want all to bear in mind if the shoe fits any other he may wear it: Mr. Pierce is trying to circulate stories that will injure us in business, stating that we employ Pro-German help and that no loyal citizen will buy here, or have any transactions with us. If this man has, a spark of honor in his make-up, he will come out in the open, submit his proofs, and give us a chance to refute them. - Now; as to being loyal, I don't believe there is a family in Eugene that has done more than we have in all ways that we are able, but I am not now parading and never will parade patriotism to gain business. Mr. Pierce is objecting to us keeping in our em ploy one of our most efficient salesmen, telling people that he is Pro-German, but at the same time Mr. Pierce offered this same man a position in his store. Our 'salesman is not Pro-German, and whether or not he is doesn't concern Mr. Pierce and all that does concern this individual is that we are selling mer chandise to people that he wants to serve. No man with a well balanced mind and a home and business interests in this country can be Pro-German. Mr. Pierce's business does not concern us be it good or bad. People who trade with him and there are undoubtedly still a few have that right. If we have taken business from.Mr. Pierce it was because we are selling merchandise at a smaller per centage of profit and the people are buying here be cause thy .can buy for less. The people have been asked to "Hooverize" and economize and they are doing it. . This store has made Eugene the lowest priced grocery town in Oregon, and the long profit concerns like The Table Supply Company that could not follow the pace have taken to underhand methods to put this store out of business. , " As to the early closing hour, the government will take care of that. We have explained our position in this matter before. , . . We close at 6 p. m. and thus give people who do not quiUwork until 5 o'clock or 5:30 o'clock a chance to do their trading. Commencing the first of the month the clocks are moved ahead an hoar, wewn continue to close at 6p.m, (which m reality will be only 5 o'clock), and if the over energetic bunch that shot off the gun before it was loaded follow out their agreed plan they will be closing at 4 o'clock the mid dle of the afternoon. , , Still, they have that right, and we are not trying ; to force them to follow our plan all we want and all we intend to do is to conduct our business, without in fringing on the rights of others, in a way that suits us and our customers and if America is the free country that we are fighting for we certainly havt .that privilege and the people will not allow malicious lies to influence them. tl t ,,. Energetic people will find plenty of time to plant gardens and attend them but an hour more might en able some to take longer auto rides or put in more time at the golf links. y ' . . .. . Our salespeople are perfectly satisfied with their store hours; none of our customers so far as I know disapprove of our methods, and daily we are ting new friends because we are serving 'them Jime which they consider they have a right to be served. Now, just one question : ..-,' , tf What would grocery prices be in Eugene today if Stanley's were not in businesst Respectfully yours, GEO. C. STANLEY. Stanley's Cat-Price Grocery Closes Promptly at 6 p. m. MEN AT CAMP CODY ED 2W BOOKS Edward Day, Former Eugene Pastor, Writes of Call for Volumes in One Camp Alone. Writing to Librarian M. H. Douglass, of the University library, Rev. Edward Day, formerly pastor of the local Uni tarian church, now connected with Camp Cody library. Sew Mexico, baa the fol lowing to ay regarding Ms work: "To be frank, I do not aee any great difference between the character of the books we give oat and those 1 have Men passed over the counters t your library, save that our men ore calling for many volumes of phases of military science; and these I suppose yon are now acces sioning and giving out. Such volumes are supplied us from headquarters. Bat we could use many of the more popular war books, at Contagsby Dawson's 'Carry Ob and Ian . Hay's different volumes. ' " : "For our many branches in "F. M, C. A. and hospitals we could use many more popular novels, especially by Wright, Chambers, Beach, McCuteh- eon, London and Zane Grey. Ait a third of our circulation Is non-fiction, yon can understand that little in the way of general literature, history, biography and science could come amiss. We have a goodly number of college textbooks, j bat we could use twice as many as we 1 have, for there are large classes in camp studying languages, mathematics, etc. Already we have a large library for an institution which has been circulating books for but two months. The last volume I numbered and provided with a card this afternoon was 16,722. But the demands upon us are great, snd many of our branches, through neglect per chance on the part of over-burdened men who care for them, lose scores oi volumes. We, as the central library, are making a fine record. Probably the gifts of men who are learning far more than make good our losses. - "Howvcr,: our needs are such that a library of 29,000 volumes is demanded. This would be only one volume to a man, as we have this number at the present time, and according to indica tions, our camp Is to be extended. Oar officers and their friends in Washington like our dry climate for training men." BY L. G, MARTIN Units Pratt Staff Csmtsaaicat Washington, March 21, Under urger from the war department, the senate to day began a awl fit clean-up of war legis lation which bat been on its calendar tor weeks. The Brat to be considered is that granting President Wilson power to com mandeer standing timber and to direct logging operations in the interest of speedier production of the timber need ed for airplanes and ship construction. Among the bills on which action was sought today was the resolution provid ing for draft registration of all men who have become 21 since the fifth of last June; another providing that officers is field service shall receive the same com mutation of quarters as those not in field service; another suspending certain re strictions on the purchase of military supplies, with several of minor import ance which the -department requires to carry out details of its program without delay. . Senator Chamberlain also introduced today at the request of Acting Secretary of War Crowell a bill which woaid per mit the president to take over any or ah of the personal, real or mixed prop erty f any citizen of the Butted States for the use of the government in the war emergency. The purpose of this meas-, sre is to allow the commandeering of housing facilities in any place they are needed and cannot be otherwise obtained. The Overman empowering sill was reported to the senate by Senator Over Daring discussion of the timber com mandeering bill, Senator Jones of Wash ington and Borah denoonced the X. W. W. for interference with logging opera tions in the northwest, Borah attacked "a nig Bill" Haywood, I. W. W, leader. He demanded the government punish Haywood, who, he said, "has bees a pro fessional criminal for SO years or more. He has taken -at least eighteen lives. The government has evidence," , THIS IS THRIFT WEEK. STAMPS ON SALE AT OUR OFFICE. ; ; ; Tomorrow and Saturday. FORMAL!

March 2i-8etotre today of 1,000,000 tens of idle Dutch shipping by the allies means the present net losses doe to the submarine warfare have been made good In advance for the next ten months. Considerably before that time, launch ing of new ships will have definitely es tablished the ascendancy of the allies in th warfare with the submarines. The onto development that might prevent the termination of the U-boat conflict would be the construction by Germany of a new type of submarine far less vulnerable aad more aggressive than the present. That is extremely unlikely. Sir Erie Geddes, first lord of the Brit ish admiralty, has announced that the sew shlpipng sow being launched, comes within 100,000 tons monthly sf replacing the total sinking of merchantmen. The million tens of Dutch shipping that have just been restored to activity Is suffi cient, therefore, to make "good the Bal ance of losses throughout the present year and well into January of next year. It is known that America's snd Great Britain's shipbuilding programs save fallen behind the first anticipations. It is absolutely certain, however, that ac celerations of hunching in the United States alone will begin to exert marked influence on the tonnage situation next summer. The upward movement of the chart showing the allies victory ever the B busts ought then to become prominent, if there It no sleekening ia new construc tion. The new policy of publicity concerning the shipping situation, therefore gives no aid and comfort to the Germans. It should he essentially reassuring to tbi allies. It establishes the bet that the war will not be won by th submarine. The German people must realise from the official figures now being revealed that piratical barbarity cannot bring vic tory to the Hsheniollsrns, The auto crats tf Germany are proven - to have sacrificed Germany's honor once more la vain.
