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.

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."

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," ,

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
