HIS IDEAS TOO HIGH FOR
CITY OF AsToRIA's SIZE

No you can't keep people from go-
ing to Portland to trade. Even il you
show and sell them better styles at
home. It's second nature with some
persons to trade away from their
home town, especially on wearing
apparel, said Mr.. Shafer Of the Amer
ican B. G. & Investment Co., Of
Portland. "To illustrate, take Ja-
lofts, the ladies' store. He had a
hobby for high class goods and from
all / saw he sold his goods at less
prices than the same styles and
qualities could be bought at Port
land. In fact, if Jaloff was in Port
land his stock would compare with
the best Of them for style and char
acter Of materials. But by offering
50 high class goods in Astoria, he
seems to have created and Impression
that he was high-priced-that's what
caused Jaloff to 60 bankrupt. Well,
the stock will go on sale tomorrow
at 9 a. m. and / will endeayor to close
out all Of it in very short time, or at
once cnvey a better idea. We
don't string a sale along; just cut
the life out Of prices and force things
all the time. First loss is the best, is
our motto, especially in bankrupt
stock when they fall into our hands
for closing out. Yes, we will wind
up the affairs on the Jaloff sale in
very short order. Look for quick de-
cisive action.

TEACHERS MEETING AT
 TUSCUMBIA ADJOURNED

Tuscumbia, March l4,--(SpeciaL)- l The concluding session of the Tennes. see Valley Teachers Association was held yesterday morning, beginning al g o'clock. and by noon the Associa' tion had adjourned to meet In semi annual session at New. Decatur next 1 November.
 The session held Friday morning and | evening and yesterday morning have been wonderfully instructive and prof itable, and the teachers returned today to their respective homes greatly ben ehted and enthused. During the ses- sions a number of distinguished edu- cators and teachers of Northern Ala. bama and Southern Tennessee have discussed questions and problems of pe- culiar personal interest to the teach CTS, and from these discussions and presentations great good has resulted.
 The program as rendered Saturday morning was as follows.
 Invocation, Rev. W. F. Trump, of Tuscumbia.
 "What Should be Taught in the Pub lie Schools"--Superintend J. B.. Lockhart, of Florence. Ala; discussion, Prof. Hodges. of Gurley. Ala.
 The Possibilities of the Teacher"-- Prof. F. M. Massey, of Pulaski, Tenn.
 My Recent Trip to Europe and the English Public School System"-Mrs Price of Florence. Ala.
 "rhe Red Tape of School System" Principal H. J. Fusoh, of Moorss- ville. Ala; discussion. Principal J. W. Goad, of Falkvilie, Ala.
 County Superintendent of Education Koonce, of Florence, Lauderdaie coun- ty Ala, delivered an interesting ad- dress on general public school matter, which brought to . close the most sue cessfui and pleasant meeting of the Tennessee Valley Association.
 The attendance was large through out the several sessions, and would have been greater but for a spell of aespIcable weather which prevailed the two days. The teachers, howevr, pro- nounce the meeting the very best ever held. and threw many bouquets at Tus- eumbla and her chivalFous, hospitabie people. The average number Of teach CTS during the two days session was probably one hundred. The ratio of women teachers to the men was prob ably three to one. showing that women teachers largely predominate in the public school work, in the Tennessee Valley.
 The majority of them are young. handsome and attractive.

HELD GRADING DAY
INTERESTING OCCASION AT THE
 sOUTHsIDE BAPTIST CHURCH.
During the Day Over $500 Was Raised for the Purpose of Building an Annex for the Sunday
 gcho0I

Over $500 was raised yesterday morn Ing at the services in connection with
 grading day" at the southside Bap- tist Church. for the erection of a Sun day School annex. The addition which will be Of wood. will cost between -$700 and $500. Work will begin immedi- ately now, that sufficient money has been found to guarantee the expense.
 Grading Day. which Is more or less novel institution in Montgom- cry, was pronounced success. About 1I6 members of the Sunday School were graded acording to ages and teachers were assigned to each of the grades. The most impressive part of the exercises in honor of the day was the address of J. B. Greene of Ope- 1ika, Superintendent of one of the most successful Sunday Schools in the State,
 In his address. he showed how tho graded school was always the most ef1cient as 1t secured teachers who were trained to deal with children of a certain age and always to emphasize the lessons most adapted to their age With the new plan the teacher keeps the same-aged children year in and year out, and is therefore acquainted with their needs. Promotion days will come once a year.
 The innovation Is briefly this, The school is divided thus: The Cradle Class. below 3 years; beginners. 6-9 years; junior. 9-13: intermediate, I3 to 16; seniors, 1921; adults. over 2l. Whenever any of these grades is too large for one class, the grade is d. vided. After the age Of 9 the boys and girls meet in separate divisions. with individual teachers.
 Rev. s. A. Cowan announced that he would hold evangeiistic services every evening at o'clock.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. March I4.-The stock market last week composed iself into definite shaping of future events and was distinguished chiefly by its unim- questionable character. The testing which made up nearly the whole of the dealings proved unavailing to uncover any contingent orders either in the way of liqpideting or of covering out, operations dwindled under these dis couraging circumstances and brought the rate of activity in the market down ness of last summer in the period be- fore the National Convention.

Dye, Two Hundred Witnesses Exa"
 ,ped and Eighty Indictments

nvsp Two Hundred Wuneses sued and Eighty Indictmenn Florence, March i4.--tspecia''- rwefye days of strenuous work' 'he most of which was directed to the consideration of whskey cases. ended at noon yesterday for the Lauderdaie county grand jury when the foreman Erister Ashcraft. secretary of the Asn- craft Cotton Mills, read his report to Judge Aston o,o
 There were 1so cases examined, 26s witresses questioned and eighty in- dictments returned. Complaint was made of the unwillinsness Of witnesses to testify in whiskey cases and their evasions unless confronted with prooi of the grand jury's knowledge or their connection with 1t and 1t was recom- mended that future grand juries indict such parties for perjury.
 The fury is of the opinion that the prohibition bill which permits the sale of near beer, bearine. etc., is the cause of the sale of intoxicants and urgently recommends that the legisla- turc amend the law so as to meet this evil. Though sufficient evidence was wanting to indict, the belief Is helj by the grand jury that a few stills are operating in Lauderdale county ana the United States revenue officers and the county officers were urged to be very vigilant In suppressing this evil. The interstate commerce law was blamed for the shipment of quan- titles of whiskey into the county and 1t was suggested that Congress should stop this.
 .It Is our deliberate opinion." said the report, that If the consumption of whiskey could be absolutely aboi. ished, that the sitting of the grand jury would have little to do.
 The jury found that County Treas urer Hugh P. Davis had paid himself more than the s1.o00, the annual com pensation fixed by law and though they do not believe the money was corruptly paid they recommend that the matter be looked into by the prop CT authorities and 1t was referred by Juge Alstasn to the commissioners court.
