PAGE THREE IMU PIONEER IS :! Court House T THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY. MAY 10, 1919. OUR RUG PRICES We understand that it is quite easy to make claims one's prices are "the lowest in town," and all that sort of thing. Talk is indeed "6heap". Still, when a store knows that it undersells every other store and at the same time gives qualities that are not to be found elsewhere, why should they not claim to have just those things? We know that our rug prices are far below those of other stores. We know that the quality of our rugs cannot be beaten. We invite you to see our rugs and the othersthen you can believe our claims. Just keep in. mind you get more for your money at Family Reunion Held On 904 ' Adversary Of Birtii Of Lewis Stout i I (Capital Journal Special Serviee.) Mebania. Or.. May 10.

Oregon Theater Improves j System Of Ventilation Patrons of the Oregon Theatre will be pleased to learn that the final touch of efficiency and comfort has been added to that resort by the installation of a powerful five-foot ventillating fan. to be driven at high speed by electric mo tor and capable, of changing the entire 'air of the theatre in a few minutes. It is loi-ntod in a cement chamber in the basement and controlled by a switch upon the stage. On one side of the chamber is an ingenius water-screen, by wli icli the incoming air will be cooled in summer. On tho other side in a screen of heating apparatus that will take the ehi'l off f'om the blast of air in the winter. Tho reporter, who hails from Nebraska, was given a touch of home sickness when he went down to witness a tost, for it reminded him of Hastings in the, cye.lono season. From the vault the air is forced upward to the upper prr of the auditorium and dropped up on the andionce, who will never know where it comes from .and at the same time the foul air Is drawn off througn floor passage. This improvement, put in at largo expense by Manager Knp per, leaves nothing more to be wished for by his patrons. RICKEYNEWS. (Capital Journal Special Service.) Rickey, Or., May 10.

With meat at from 25c to 35c a pound the saving on meat bills each week is a very appreciable one. The remarkable oven, with walls as heavily Insulated and heat-conserving as a fireless cooker, retains all the rich juices of the food usually carried off by air currents, and the delicate flavor often spoiled by gaseous fumes. This is but one of the many unusual cooking advantages of the Hughes Electric Range. You can bake bread evenly without turning it; roast meat without basting; brown cake as evenly on the bottom as the top; cook cabbage and onions in the oven with very little water and no odor at the same time obtaining better flavored food than you have ever before knowa Think what It means to get results like this, with even fees work than any other method of cooking requires, Think what a relief it is to be freed forever from the danger of flames or the bother of carrying dirty fuel, to be rid of the film of aoot or gummy deposits on range, walls and woodwork to have a dirtless range and an immaculate kitchen. The Hughes Electric Range will give you all these conveniences; and, in addition, a cooler kitchen, purer air, more time away from your kitchen. The Hughes Range has been used and endorsed by the country's greatest cooking authorities, Marion Harris Neil, Janet McKenzie Hill, Alice Bradley, Mrs. Lemcke-Barkhansen. It has been ep proved by Goad Housekeeping Institute, and given the world's highest official award, the Panama-Pacific Gold Medal.
