SOCIETY
You have all read about
"Sarah Crewe" and you all
loved her, but "Mary" makes
her even more pathetic, more
laughable and more lovable.
We dare say that "The Little
Princess" is even a greater
picture than "Rebecca of Sun
nybrook Farm."

Meditation for the New Year
By President Carl Gregg Doney
Won't do to cuss the railroads any
more because vour old TJuclo Samuel
stato-j won't stand for a cussin'.
Merchandise
IS PASSING THROUGH A TRANSITION
PERIOD owing to present conditions.
GOVERNMENT NEEDS ARE ENORMOUS
Even for the first equipment of the Army and Navy
and the First Supply is only the beginning. All sup
plies must be replaced repeatedly owing to the
seyere usage. ' . -1
As the Army grows, more and more factories will
be devoted to military work with the result that
less, goods vill be made for civilian use.
THERE IS A REAL SHORTAGE OF RAW
MATERIALS, and mills are experimenting with all
kinds of substitutes. Some may prove satisfactory;
many will not. Many merchants are sacrificing
quality to keep near old prices, but we have always
considered quality first during our 26 years in
Salem, for we believe that the future of the store
depends upon satisfactory merchandise and we shall
continue to handle standard brands with a reputa
tion to maintain.
In consequence of shortened production, prices
which are already high will continue to advance.
OUR HEAVY STOCK in all departments bought
months ago, will enable us to keep our retail prices
below the market value for a good part of the
year 1918.
Tho coming year will see more sig
nificant events than any since the
t-uristian era began. We dare not even
predict when the war will close, but
whether it ends soon or late there are
momentous experiences eertaiu to come
to everyone of us. We have telt the Do
giniiings of somo of them; we know
that their forco will increase and that
O'.'.ers will necessarily arise.
Economic changes have commenced
to revolutionize the customary man
agement cf our household ana busines
ses. We do not doubt that they will
continuo aud that they will demand
painful deprivations and, searching re
adjustments. Loved aud familiar faces
are gone from countless homes and
only their spiritualized presence re
mains. Their presence is spiritualized
tyid the reaction upon us is both chas
tening aud beautiful. Tho high vision
which seized their souls and made them
gladly willing to offer their total all
is working its way into the souls of
the least of us, filling us with a kind
of awo and an unheard of devotion.
The year upon which we arc now en
tering will find us making a sober ap
praisal of our country. We will want
to know if it is worth the price which
is being paid for it. Some will be de
manded, but beneath tho surface we
will see a thine to wonder at and be
proud of. Patriotism will have a re
birth and a reinterpretation. Tho mat
ter of fact loyalty of other days will
givo place to a keen, intelligent and
hfo compelling appreciation of Amer
ica. We will know that a country lor
which our sons die is not commonplace
or ignoble, that it has an unfolding
spirit which is saernmeiitaily beauti
ful and that this nntional spirit must
sublimate all individual spirits and be
come the controlling spirit of the
world.
The year will be great with an in
crease of the sense of "justice. Eight
has been outraged in a manner which
appals and terrifiesjthe elemental in
stincts. of 'mercy have been shameless
ly "Jo'lated; solemn covenants - have
been brazenly " derided ; the slowly
gathered increments of civilization
have been mocMd and set aside. We
have - seen Germany do these things
and the sight has filled us with grief
and shame.. And more. It has filled us
with a hatred o such things. Germany
has shown us how hideous injustice
and cruelty and, deceit and demonism
really are. Germany has made them so
loathesome that the world recoils irom
them. The picture is so black that ev
ery thoughtful person is asking wheth
er there is any of this diabolism in
him. Every decent person wants to. de
stroy it, wants to put it out of war
fare, out of tb.e,warld, out of himself.
The now year will witness a profound
increase of plain righteousnes.
Tho vear will be one of prayer. A
million sons in army camps will senTl
two million parents daily to their
knees. Toj have a on at the battle front
can never become a commonplace ex
perience. It will always pull like flood
tide at the heart; and for such times
God alone is sufficient. And French
soil will be transformed into shrines
bv forms which once were animate
with the spirit of liberty and democra
cy. American blood will splash the
French lilies and we shall think of
Him who stained the world with white
redemption when He, too, died for the
enrichment of mankind.
We shall enter the year with fear
and hope and courage- Unless we real
ize tho presence of God fear will over
shadow hope aud courage will give
wny to despair. "
Every dollar you spend for merchandise at pres
ent prices will be a profitable investment for you.

10 of the smaller stamps to turn in for

Just gave on the little things you wont
miss and the firf thing you know you
