In his annual report upon postal administration dur ing the fiscal year 1915, Postmaster General Burleson announces an audit ed deficit of $11,33:1,308.97, caused by the European war and large increases of expenditures which wore mandatory under law. The cost of the war to the postal service is estimated at 21. 000.000. the postmaster general states that efficiency of service was placed above cost consideration and tnat, notwnn standine the advorso revenue condi tions, steady expansion and improve ment of postal facilities have contin ued. However, he shows thoat the def icit would have amounted to at least $24,000,000 but for the reorganization of various branches of the service along modern business lines begun be fore the war started and continued during the disturbed period. Of the total deficit, Mr. Burleson's analysis demonstrates that all b- $309,688.16 was the result or me in creases of salaries of postal employes and additional railway irmil pay requir ed by law. Extracts from tho more important chapters of the report follows: The year ended .Tune 30, 1915, was an abnormal one. Surpluses of $3,800, 000 and $3,500,000 wero reported and covered into the treasury for the fiscal years 1913 and 1914, respectively, showing that the postal service had beon put upon a solf-suntnining basis after a long period of annually recur ring deficits. Had normal conditions prevailed, a third successive surplus would have been paid into tho treasury for tho fiscal year 1915. Remember that New England dinner and Hard Time Social at Leslie M.

SUNDAY'S JUNIOR SERMON Loyalty" was the subject of the junior sermon Sunday morning in the First Presbyterian churcli by the pas tor, Carl H. Elliott. The text was Joshua 1:16. Mr. Elliott said that we should be loyal to our country. Benedict Arnold is universally despised because he was a traitor to his country. We should be loyal to our friends. The story of Damon and Pythias is precious because it is the story of friends who were ready to give their lives for each oth er. Everyone should be loyal to principle. Wm. 1 loyd Garrison was a friend of the slave long before the majority of the people believed that the negro should be free. Ho talked and wrote in behalf of the slave with suoh.rpers'isteiiee that people threw bad eggs at him and persecuted him m many ways, .bong afterward when tho slave was free and nearly everybody believed as he did, a group of his friends gave him a gold watch and when he rose to make a lit tle speech accepting it he said, "If this were a Totten egg I would know what to do with it." We should be loyal to Jesus. Over in Armenia many Christian girls have been threatened with worse than death if they would not become Mohammedans. Some of them have accepted the terms but very many have stuck to Jesus. If they aro so loyal there where it is so hard, wo should surely be true to Hiin here where it is so easy.

About 20 will bo present from Dallus, For several days we have been telling the people about a lot of real bargains in Men's goods and when it stopped raining long enough for them to get here they came in fairly good bunches but Saturday's crowd "capped the climax." Well enough about the crowd, and a little about the cause will be more inter esting as well as more to the point. It is natural when a man has money to spend he is going to look around to see just where he can get the most for his money, cause number one. When we went through our stock and marked the prices for this sale we sim ply lost track of the costs and put a price on the article that we knew it would sell for, one so low that competi tion would be an unknown factor, cause number two. Then we told the public about it in as few words as possible, told them the truth too about .the prices, which is cause three and enough. Clothing prices will remain the same this week. Ten dollar suits at $6.48, twelve fifty suits at $8.68, fifteen dollar suits at $9.88, sixteen fifty suits at $10.48, eighteen dollar suits at $11.98, twenty dollar suits at $13.48, twenty two dollar suits at $14.98, and the twenty five ones at $16.78. Overcoats are priced with a view to selling every one in stock before the week is past. Ten dollar ones are $6.98, twelve fifty ones at $7.38, fifteen dollar ones at $8.68, twenty dollar ones at $11.48, and the twenty five dollar ones at $13.98. Men's separate trousers are selling rapidly at these prices: $2.50 grade at $1.98, $3.50 grade at $2.68, $4.00 grade at $2.98, $4.50 grade at $3.38, $5.00 grade at $3.73 and the $6.00 grade at $4.48. Little men and big boys take our ad vice and hurry for there arc only a few of those odd Coats and Vests (sizes 34 and 35) left and the price is like finding them, only $1.48, match them up with odd pants and you'll have a suit worth three times its cost Shoes are melting away like the tra ditional snow balL Packard Shoes at from $2.48 to $3.98 is something new to Salem and men are not slow when it comes to grabbing gold pieces at such reductions. Our Shirt values can't be equaled. Three dollar shirts are $2.28, two fifty shirts at $1.88, two dollar shirts at $1.48, the one fifty kind at $1.13, one twenty five ones at 88c, and a big lot of regular dollar shirts are going at 48c. We also have heavy tan cord shirts with military collars that we bought to sell for $2.50 at $1.48, and a broken line of double and single breasted Flannel shirts sold regularly at $1.50 to $3 that are now going for 78c to $1.98. Came near forgetting all about un derwear and it would have ueen a crime for as the bootblack said "here's where we shine." .Six dollar French ribbed silk and wool at $1.78 the garment, five dollar fancy ribbed Athletic neck un derwear at $1.63 each, $3.00 Cooper's spring needle derby ribbed in pink wool at $1.13, Cooper's Australian wool at 98c, extra heavy $4.00 wool at $1.28 the garment, Swiss ribbed cotton shirts and drawers the 75c kind at 45c, and the heavy derby ribbed cotton sold every where at 50c, you can get now for 35c.

Hat prices please every one: The $2.00 ones are now $1.12 and the $3.00 kind at $1.98. Men's heavy and light weight wool sox, the 50c ones at 38c, and our reg ular two bit ones are 18c. We said that we would have some thing more to say about Xmas goods this week so now LISTEN! Here are some good things for you to know: Men's Xmas Ties and Scarf Pins put up in fancy boxes, never sold for less than 75c, are now 38c, fifty and seventy five cent neckwear, all new, nifty patterns of the latest makes go at 38c, thirty five cent ones are 21c, and you never saw such a line of regular twenty five cent Neckwear as we are now selling at 19c, put up in fancy Xmas boxes too. Men's ties in leather collar boxes that were $1.25 are now 73c. Only a few of those Oxford bags lef t ; they come in three sizes, 15, 16 and 17 inches, at $2.48, $2.98 and $3.48 instead of $4.50, $5.00 and $5.50. Now friends we are not any where near through telling you of the hun dreds of really "fetching" things that are included in this wonderful sale but the Journal man is waiting for "copy" as he wants to get this in to-day's paper so watch for tomorrow's edition for more. Ide collars, Holeproof and Phoenix hosiery are the only lines not reduced. G. W. Johnson & Co.
