The morning acssion clos ed with memorial exercises for de parted members. The afternoon session was taken up with work of Interest and con cerning the lodges of the district, among which was the election and seating of new officers for the ensu ing term. Those elected and seated were : Chairman Etta Demmon, Park dale, Vice-Chairman Jessie Wisner, The Dalles. Secretory Kate Vincent, Hood River. Treasurer Bessie Creson, Odell. The selection of Mrs, Demmon means that the ne:t session will be held at Parkdale. The public was Invited to attend an open meeting of the order at Le gion hull in the evenng. An interest ing and pleasurable program had been arranged and each member en hanced the reputation Maupin has as the home of iimny who possess more than an average ability as entertain ers. Near tho close of the program Mrs. Norn N Sexton. President of the Rebekah Assembly of Oregon, told of t'no work, aims and accom plishments of the order. Mrs. Sex ton has that rare ability of express ing herself in a manner both pleas ing and instructive, and made a last ing Impression upon those who heard her aldress. Before she closed Mrs. Sextan presented an Odd Fellows' jew el on Ernest V. Doty, tho emblem representing a continuous member a'lip in tho order 25 years. Mr. Doty 'joined the Odd Fellows at Loraine, Lano county 26 years ago. The banquet, which preceded the ovenngs' program, was served at the Rainbow restaurant. Members of tho order had been busy for some time prior to convention day, arrang ing for the spread, and when dele gates and Odd Fellows seated them We have been told that some other teams in the league have been tam pering with Maupin players; have offered them pretty good money to play with them. If those players should accept the offers made and play with teams outside of Maupin, it would cripple the local lineup and leave us an aggregation made up of but mediocre players. The meeting adjourned after deciding to stay out of the league. But that does not mean we will not have baseball here. There arc any unmber of Independent teams to make games with. And with the players sought by outside teams in j a Maupin lineup this city will always be a factor to contend with in the national game. Went After Freight.

The article follows under the caption of: THE RETAIL MERCHANT The retail merchant is one of the vital interests in the general com munity life. He is a vital organ of the business body. He is an utterly essential source of life. He is the distributor of food, clothing, shelter, warmth, and every conceivable means of health, comfort and pleasure. V.'e do not appreciate him because we tike him for granted, and never for r. moment pause to consider how we wo vld get along without him. But does eery retail merchant that makes ii living for-go into bankrupt cy. Not because he is not needed. Everyone needs him. The rot;. ".I merchant is no longer grabber of profits that he eagerly counts and r'outs over at the close of the day. II.' is in truth a real public servant, and a real friend of men. He gets no sdary, asks no guaran tees, and takes all the risks that go with his busincra. Obviously, his opportunity is great. lie never needs to apologize for himelf. He- renders a service without which civi lization could not be. And yet the retail mochnnt is los ing business, at leant n-w; of thesn are. There are towns in America where 78 per cent of the retail business is lost to outride competition. Amon sv sale and gets money because ne knows how to so arrange words and pictures on paper that they tell a convincing story. The merchant in the nearby city knows how to shout his message in the daily papers so that customers flock to his store from the smaller cities surrounding, j Then, artistic window displays, scientific store arrangement, and trained, courteous sales people do the rest. No man has ever compell ed another to come to his store and in land settlement Inquiries con cerning farm opportunities have numbered 1,516 during the period, according to the Land Settlement department records for the Portland and state chambers of commerce. Of these inquiries 447 were received from people who have been referred to the department by those who have already profited by its service, being either new or prospective settlers on Oregon lands. Twenty-seven settlers for the per iod were reported so far by local chambers of commerce. These fami lies brought to their newly adopted communities investments which will amount to $67,900. Qestionnaires were received from 128 prospective settler families stat ing they expected to arrive in Ore gon in th next few months.

Hundreds of reasons were given in the survey conducted by an authori ty on retail merchandising. ' In the main, they have shown that the rea sons given have been used by the retail merchant as a valid excuse for continued failure. Others indicated that their reasons were regarded as challenges to gird themselves, change conditions, and become winners.
