THREE GREAT DAYS'
SAYS L J. COLMAN
Northwest Chairman N. E. R.
Urges Observance of "Gold­
en Rule Sunday.”
Laarence J. 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.

‘When thou maknst a feast, call the
poor, the halt, the maimed and the

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

news for all this week. Last week*

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. Spanish
passions are brought out and intense
interest will hold thé audience spell
bound for nearly two hours.
Next Thursday and Friday nigbts
will welcome Vernonia’s favorite
Rin-Tin-Tin, the wonder dog in “Be­
low the Line.” a heart poundin <
story of thrill and love on the
bloodhound trail, with John Harron
and June Marlowe. We are promised
more real thrills in this picture than
of any yet shown here. The Wonder
Dog is all but human and here one
will see him as the best trained ani­
mal in the world. You will certainly
imagine that yiu ar- actually below
the line.
Yes, the week is a good
one.
The four shows above men­
tioned were chosen as the best that
could be secured for a pre-holiday
week.

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

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.

We Make.”
