FOR CONVENTION
Compilation of Average Busi
ness Statistics By Bureau
Is Important Question Con
sidered; Eugene Thanked.
L. L. Thomas of Murshfield, present
president of tho Oregon Htuil Mer
chant's assoviation, was renominated for
that office by tbe nominating committee,
and it was doubtful if he will have op
position at tiie election later this aft
ernoon. Thomas C. Wutts. treasurer, of
iiiiebeu. was also reuoiuinutcd without
opposition as was Edward A. IMacleau,
tit'eretary of. rortlcna.
A resolution was passed making the
Luiversity a unit in the organization,
aLd conferring on faculty mcmbeis of
the school .!' (bus mews administration
honorary membership in the association.
Resolutions of thanks to the University
and the cfty oi Eugene for the hospita
lity extended were also passed.
A lust minute checking up showed at
tindance from Eugene as i, and from
the state at large at 143.
With the election of officers for the
er.suiug year and the selection of a uice!
iii). place for next year's convention the
fiiiat session of the nineteenth annuitl
meeting of tiie Oregon Hetuil Merchants''
association came to a close late this ,
alter noon. Delegates were to vote upon a ,
resolution naming Eugene and the I'm- j
vtrsity as the. annual ineetiug places for!
all future conventions.
The question of the establishment of a
bureiiu for compiling avcruge retail costs
for mercJiants in the state of Oregon was
to be one of the main (jiiestions decided.
h. h. Thomas, Marslitleld, president ct
tbe association, said this afternoon that,
the success of the convention was com
plete and that much had beeu accom
plished. "I wish to thank ail the people
oi bugene aud luose in the university ot
Oregon for their generous hospitality
winch-they -lift ve sliowu in Jiulping us car
ry ad the convention. , The spirit of co
operation is certainly appreciated."
To Complete Statistics.
At the morning session held at Villur:!
hall at the university, 1rufesHor C. L.
Ktlly of the uuiyersity fucultiS outlined
the plan of the btireau of statistics. Th'j
system would work on tho same plan us
thai recently carried on by Harvard uni
voisity in the east in which the I'niver
sity would carry on research work and
gather facts relative to costs of carrying
on retail businesses in Oregon.
"These statistics will snow you just
where your mistakes are,'' said Iro
fesKor Kelly, "and they will tell you how
successful you tire and will enable yon
t see mistakes in your managerial poli
cies." Iast year, at the tnsistance ot the
government, pointed out Mr. Thomas, in
vestigations were made concerning the
profits of retailers und it was found that
tile margin of profit was small. This year
the association is tukiug the mutter up
ou its own initiative
Secrets of Selling.
"Some ' Selling ftecrets That Uuild
HmincsH" was the subject taken up by
.Professor V. A. Nagley, the first speaker
thi morning. "The clerk who knows how
to take advantage of cues given by cus
tomers is the one who employs real
salesmanship," he said. "A sulesmau
must believe in the articles which he sells.
He cannot create a belief in the mind of
the man to whom he is trying ,u lin
less he himself Iwlieves in his article."
Five fundamental principles appealing
to the customer were outlined. These,
were: Gain in money, gain in utility, sat
isfaction in price, the satisfaction of cau
tiou, and yielding through weukness.
Salesmanship, he pointed out, is divided
into three classes: the apnroach, the
demonstration, and the close.
How to borrow cheaply and plentifully
was brought out by 1'rofessor F. E.
Folts in his talk to the continence,
"In order to bring about the poi-
Charges that the "cures' of Dr.
Charles l'riee, so-called divine healer,
were fakes in many cases; that an out-1-reak

least one place where meetings t)f this

hi.uself turned to licensed surgeons when
he wanted a tumor removed front his
back, were made by Dr. Jesse Keltems,
evangelist at the First Christian church
last night in a sermon, "What the Uible
Teaches About Diviio Healing".
Reads. Letter From Fresno.
Vr. Kcllenuj read a letter from Thomas
F. AfadiUn, .secretary of the KreMio
County Medical society, FVcsno, Califor
nia, to the effect that Dr. i'rice, who held
meetings here during the winter and Is
due soou to hold another series of meet
ings at the armory, "had a small tumor,
uhout the sixe of an almond, removed
from his back duriug the time meetiugs
were hein; held in this city (Fresno) by
Mrs. Mcl'herson." Mr. Mcl'herson is
mint her prominent as a "divine healer",
and is me of the leudfiVs of the move
ment, It i said.
Dr. Madden went on to say that "the
statement that 12 cases of iiihonity a-.e
attributed to the campaign ia true in the
main. I do uot vouch for the number
exactly." The letter was duter Decem

the situation completely in the bands of
the filibusters, some administration sena

either to surrender in the ship subsidy
and permit !t to be dropped or to whip
into line the filibustering senators.. Aa
most ot these are democrats, bowevet
Harding has about as much power over

The decision to go to Harding was
reached last midnight after a session

until 11 o'clock this morning to permit
