Mt, uly u 4oIT.
To the People of Maine:
The great fire which recently occur
red in Salem, Mass, has caused a
great amount of loss and suffering to
the people of that city, and it seems
to me fitting and proper that the peo-
pie of Maine, who are able, should be
given an opportunity to aid them in
their time of need and suffering, and
I earnestly recommend that such as
feel able make contribution for that
purpose to Hon. Charles H. Osgood,
Lewiston, Me, treasurer of the Ma
tional Red Cross Society for Maine.
Any charity which may be extended
to these people I know will be much
appreciated by the citizens of our
mother Commonwealth, Massachu-

CIRCULATION WHICH COUNTS.

Asst Saturday the Daily Capital Journals circulation
4 was 1920. On the Saturday previous 3lO0 copies
NJ were printed and sent out to subscribers or sold on
the streets.
This is a fair indication of the papers circulation
growth Also it is honest legitimate growth, without
any special effort inducements being made to secure
subscribers.
Ninety-eght per cent Of this circulation is in Salem
and Marion and Polk counties, Immediately tribu-
ary to this city 1t is the kind Of circulation that is
valuable to the businessman who would advertise his goods
in legitimate effort to increase his business 1t is the
largest circulation in this particular field of any paper
printed here or esewherethe proof of it may be had
in the press room and circulation records by any patron
who may reasonably be entitled to make such an nves-
CATION and this right belongs to any advertiser who is
buying space and paying for it.
The Capital Journals growth is due to the fact that it
is meeting the need for clean reliable newspaper which
will not on any occasion be prostitted to cheap
tonalism or sordid interests 1t is good newspaper
and it will become constantly better as time goes on.
The patronage of the people and their confidence in it
will decide its future because the real newspaper is
public institution in which all classes rich poor strong
or weak have advocate. 1t is no more a vehicle of
news than it is the outhpece of the community in which
it published and it must put aside its personal likes and
dislikes and in Of divided public sentiment must be
strong enough and honest enough to determine what
will best conserve the greatest good to the
greatest number the principle upon which our American
institutions are grounded.
The Capital Journal may never be an ideal newspaper
and sometimes it may make mistakes OF Judgment but it
will always be honest and if it must ever indulge in
journalistic warfare it will be for cause and not on
account of personal anmosity.

GERMANS SEEM TO BE GAINING GROUND.

TIME dispatches show that regardless of claims of
victories so frequently made by the allies the Ger
Il man army has advanced steadily and rresistaby
sweeping over Belgium despite its heroic resistance
and practically has possession Of that entire country
Along the border of France the French made some tenn
porary gains but correspondent puts it having 'fet
the lions teeth retired The German losses have been
heavy but their advance temporarily checked is now
apparently placing the allies in dangerous position
That great battle is due in the very near future seems
undenab and what its result will be can only be guessed
at matter which side wins If success perches on the
German eagles it is possible that the march to Paris as
made forty-four years ago may be repeated.
1t looks though loss of this battle by the allies
might determine the war; and hasten its end Those who
are dividing Austria and Germany may as well wait the
result of the impending battle
Looking at the situation from another viewpoint
however, Germany's impending success over the allies
may have another and fareachng effect 1t may force
the alignment of the other European nations now neutral
against the kaisers empire matter of self defense
Italy would expect punishment for refusing to
comply with the terms of the triple alliance after
Germany has disposed Of France England and Russia

new CANADIAN GUN
ON EXHIBITION HERE

Canada has ordered $4,000 new Ross
$50 ld-l0 sporting rifles for the use of
its soldiers in their fight with England
against Germany. A model of this high
power rifle is on exhibition in the show
window at Watt Ships gun store on
North Commercial street and is draw
ing considerable interest. The rifle is
the last word in modern small fire arm
construction. 1t is manufactured at
Quebec, Canada, and its effectiveness
will be demonstrated, ii is expected
within short time or as soon as the
Canadians can get into action.
This rifle weighs 7 pounds 8 ounces
and has a 26 inch barrel. 1t carries
four cartridges in its magazine aud las
muzzle velocity for $50 grain bullet
OF 2SOO feet per second, and for 1916
grain bullet 300 feet per second. When
1t hits an object it has striking Force
of 3, 156 foot pounds.
Compared with the English .303 army
rifle, at 1000 yards its path, or ira
leetory, is about four times flatter. The
Ross rifles trajectory is about feet
above the line of direct aim, while
that OF the U. S. Springfield is Ia feet
Tor the same distance. 1t will be seen
that for the Ross rifle the danger zone
IS practically continuous from the muz.
zle of the gun to the target, while ON
the other rifles the danger zone is only
at the extreme points.

GETTING THE NEWS.
LPendle East Oregonian.A

(Pendle East Oregonian.)
Tn these days of rigid news eensors
a foreign correspondent must have real
cleverness and energy if he would get
the big news as it is wanted Fright off
the bat"
An instance is furnished by the man
ner in which the death of the pope was
covered by the United Press eorrespon-
dent in Rome. Learning from thor
oughly authentic source that the pope
was dead, Mr.. Wood did not wait for
the formal and official notice of death
from the Vatican. On the contrary he
sent code messages to America giving
the news. Accordingly the United
Press papers carried the story the day
it happened.
Another remarkable triumph in secur.
ing news was scored by the United
Press when the American forces cap
tured Vera Cruz. The cables in Vera
Cruz were in unfriendly hands and the
United States first learned of the land
ing through code message from the
United Press correspondent in Mexico
City. The news of the American land
ing reached the Mexican capital with
much speed, as was natural. Realizing
that reports out of Vera Cruz would be
slow, the correspondent at once dis
patched code message-On its surface
merely a private message-to Calves
ton. That report gave Americans the
first and authentic news of the taking
of Vera Cruz. AS ia the case of the
pope's death, most of the news asso-
Citations relied upon routine methods
for information and were beaten out
by several hours by the United Press.
These instances of energy, together
with the other merits of the U. P. serv.
ice, explain why that press association
is popular with newspapers and why
the United Press has the majority of
clients in the northwest.

ADVERTISER SELLS CHEAPER.
(Exchange)

(Exchange)
The far-sighted merchant is not so
much concerned in getting big profits
on individual sales as in getting a big
volume of business at reasonable net
profit. He realives that if he is to
reach out and hold busniss he must get
the volume of business so he can sell on
smaller margin.
The larger the volume Of business
the more the selling cost is reduced.
because every concern could do far
more business than they do with the
same selling force. Statesmen 8 sal
aries and other expenses do not ma.
terially increase as the sales increase.
1t is really astonishing to know how
the selling cost diminishes as the sales
increase. One business man who had
watched the effect of his adyertisino
upon his business for number of wears
SAID his advertising increased the sales
10 such an extent his selling cost was
reduced to one-feurth of what it was
before, and after adding the cost of
advertising his selling cost was stiIl less
than one-half the previous selling cost
ms is the experience of every mereh.
ant who has advertised his business as
it should be advertised.
The merchant who increases his sales
and the volume of his business buvs
more goods and in bigger quantities.
than the smaller merchant and thus
gets a bigger discount. The produce,
can manufacture cheaper if he mann.
features in bigger quantities. He is
thus naturally going to give a better
discount to the bigger merchant who
buys in bigger quantities, thus enablinO
the manufacturer to manufacture IN
bigger quantities.
Now doesn't il stand to reason thai
the man who through judieious adyer,
tlsing sells more goods, buys his goods
at bigger discount and reduced his
selling cost One-half could sell cheane,
than the man who never adveTtisss
