Colman, of Seattle, has accepted the Chairmanship for the Near Eaat Relief and Golden Rule Bunday for the Northwest Region, In cluding Utah. Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, of which J. J. Handsaker, of Portland, is the Regional Directe. Colman is well known through the Northwest on account of his interest in religious and philanthropic institu tions, among them being the Seabeck, Wash., conference grounds, which ho has donated for the use of various summer groups. Speaking of Golden Rulo Sunday, hs says, "There are throe great days in November and December. The first. Thanksgiving Dey, the third, Christ mas, and midway between comes Gold en Rule Sunday. “On Thanksgiving Day we count our blessings. We count our enormous wealth of more than three billion dol lars. Wo think of our vast ferme great universities and colleges, factor ies and other evidences of material prosperity. We are, or should be, thankful for a government under which both property and life are safe. "Christmas is again a day of feasting and mirth, to which we Invito our Mends and with whom, too often, our “gifts" become merely exchanges. "On Golden Rule Sunday, December •th, we can remember the word, ‘When thou maknst a feast, call the poor, the halt, the maimed and the blind.* Wo can practice that pure re ligion which visits the fatherless and widow in their affliction. Surely there was never a greater contrast in all history than the one between our wealth, prosperity and security and the condition of the people of the Near East, exiled from their home lands without employment, homes or food, •xoept as the Golden Rulo operates in our hearts to tpako ns do to others The "Movie Column” has good news for all this week. Last week* program throughout was highly en joyed. The coming nights are better First of the news is the item that the Majestic theatre has just re- cdved and installed 200 new and modern opera seats, Now to the program, as we have ______ glanced over the advance sheets issued by the pro ducers. They each read better than a novel. For this Saturday night -is to be seen Raymond Griffith, best known comedian and star of high est rank in “He’s a Prince.’’ Grif- fith with his high hat is as well known and admired as Lloyd, Chap lin, and other first line comedians. In “He’s a Prince,” the star is at his best and in Portland this picture cerried more than the ordinary ad vertising and press comment. It I f a lauih from start to finish, a gloom chaser. Gi you will feel bet ter. Then on tre coming Sunday, and Monday nights is the big special. “The Pony Express.” A James Cruze production and pronounced by some as the greatest, moat interesting and biggest picture ever exhibited. You will compare it with “The Covered Wagon’’ and other big ones. And •" thia production will be seen such stars as Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrence and Wal lace Berry, enough to guarantee more than a crowded house both nights in Vernonia. The history ex plained in the picture is inviting to all and especially beneficial to his tory students. "The Pony Express” is talked about from coast to coast. On next Tuesday and Wodnesday nights we will again saa the actress, the vamp of old, the star with mil lions of friends and lota of ene mies, the woman lovsd and the wo man hated. She is no other than Pole Negri, who trill appear In “Flower of Night. ” Flower of the Night was written especially for Pole Negri by Joseph Hergtsheimer whose romantic tales are familiar to all readers of the Saturday Evening Post. Here is a picture no one wants to miss and an actress no one will miss. Describe __ her in adjectives flirting, tempting, loving, flaming, glorious. One wil long remember the “Flower of Night" and those that have seen it say that the screens fiery empress of emotion was never better. She dances and vamps, the days of *49 are made real.

BANK OF VERNONIA saving The Origin and Op er ation of Skaggs Stores Community pride and comm inity interest are highly commendable traits — the fountain-heads from which spring better homes, better schools, better churches, road, civic improvements and—better citizens. Rapidly changing conditions—due. in large part, to modern methods of communications, transportation and distribution—are responsible for the comparatively recent development of formerly isolated points into thriv ing, contented and beautiful centers whose people have and enjoy all of the conveniences and luxuries of the larger cities. Good roads the auto mobile, radio and modern methods of merchandising have practically eliminated the crossroads “country store”—and al' of the lack of pro gress which it symbolized—and sub stituted therefor the uptodate small city wherein are available practical ly all of the worth-while things that the larger cities have to offer. It is both natural and desirable then, that communities should be jealous of their resources and it is perfectly right and proper that— notwithstanding the undeniable bene fits and advantages they provide— the citizens of such communities should ask of "chain” organizations like Skaggs stores. "Where do the Profits Go?” For, it is neither moral ly right nor economically sound that one community should be "bled” to enrich a few men in some distant and, possibly, larger center. Because of the essentially coop erative plan of their operation, Skhggs stores are "local” stores in every sense of the word and the profits from them go back to the source from which they came—the same or like communities in which they were earned—by as simple and natural a process as the return of the products of the soil to the land again, for its further enrichment The manager of each individual Skaggs store is, indeed and in truth a “local” merchant, vitally Interes- • ted in community development and community growth. In nearly^overy Vernonia, Oregon Gash $ stores and in every instance he depends, for a part of his earnings upon the case he owns stock in the company net profits which his store produces He and is men live in the communi ty—have their families and their homes there—and expend money for their support and education exactly as any other merchant would do. In many cases he has more of his own actual money ventured upon the success of his company than is rep resented by the total investment of the average so-called “independent retailer. Therefore, for the same reasons, including the purely selfish which govern the actions of others, Skaggs store managers are deeply concerned in the welfare and pros perity of their community and any thing which might adversely affect them will arouse their instant op position, just as any movement which will react to its benefit and make it a more desirable place in which to live will enlist their hearty support. For the surplus profits, accruing after the manager has received the dividends on his stock, his share of the net profits and his salary and after the salaries of other helpers in the store, the rent and all other expenses have been met, an even broader and more beneficial use is reserved. Such surpiusses go back into new stores, in new communi ties, offering a new service and a merchant of high integrity who is also interested in community growth and community development. And, best of all, they provide ambitious, hardworking young men within the organization who have developed to managerial capacity and who are eager for their hard-won golden sura In this manner new stores are being constantly opened, the serv ice of Skaggs stores constantly broadened and extended, and loyal- hearted, forward-looking men with in the organisation are assured that * they will have their “day in the sun.* It is this absolute assurance of the certain reward of merit that ac counts for the spirit and willingness of Skaggs men wherever you find them, and weilds into one harmoni ous whole the more than 300 widely scattered units.
