"salem is the place to buy"
That S exactly what ] would say if
some one should ask me where | would
buy, in Portland or Salem. My ex.
perience in trying Salem first was like
this:
| wanted a pretty MILDLY suit, one
like the other girls didn't have. Hav.
ing friend in Portland who watched
the sales for us we found there was to
be sale the following Saturday. We
went to Portland and / picked out one
different from the rest. We stayed
over Sunday and Monday and when
We came home, upon getting off the
cars, what should I see but a girl with
MILDLY suit on like the one ! was
bringing home with me. The next day
at school | found that several other
girls had one just like ] did and going
homo at noon mother noticed in the
daily paper where store in Salem was
having sale on MILDLY suits like
mine at less than half the price of
mine and | had tried to get one CHEAP
in Portland and had really cost more
while the ones should have gotten
were right here in Salem. Not always
does it pay to get things in Portland
because the price of them alone is
cheaper BY the time you put in your
fare, lunches, hotel expenses, enter.
tainment, and other things you gen.
orally do and get your shopping
amounts to more than if shopping at
home Always try Salem first. "

If we expect to get work in Salem,
why not then patronize Salem mer,
chants in order to build up Salem and
make it large city,
If you can't get what you want IN
Salem ask your dealer to send tor IL
for you and ] am sure he would be
glad to do so in order to receive your
patronage.
What are the stores here for if not
for patronagei As a rule the merchant
starts business with a very small stock.
As business increases he gets larger
stock and in most cases he builds a
larger store, but if no one patronized
him, he certainly could not build a
larger store or buy larger stocks They
would be compelled to drop the busi.
ness and go some place else where
some one would trade with them.
Why won't the wives and daughters
of Salem merchants and business men
patronize Salem9 How would it seem
for a Salem merchant to send out Of
our city for a carpenter or clerks for
his store instead of employing one Of
salem's men? It is the same thing for
us to earn money in Salem and go some
place else to spend it.
Every dollar spent for Salem goods
helps to build up Salem enterprises and
homes. Every dollar sent out of Salem
for goods that could be purchased in
Salem, takes that much from the home
and from the home iaborer, manu-
facturer, merchant, and consumer 1t
deprives the Salem home Of its means
of livelihood and adds that much more
TO the expenses of our government.
We all want 10 see Salem grow and be.

Greek Surnames.

To the average man the names OF
the new Greek ministers may prove
bewildering, but to the initiated they
reveal a good deal. Until after the
war of liberation a century ago few of
the Greek population had surnames,
and recent generation created their
patronymics by various methods, but
generally by adopting the name of
their trade or birthplace, to which
their successors have added the ter
minals "opontos," 'ides," AXES" or
"akos," equivalent to our English
son" Most Greek surnames sum-
marize the family history.

DOGS DEVOTION TO MASTER
Saves Wounded Master, Half
Buried In Trench.

The dog of a French soldier fol-
lowed him to the war, lived with him
in the trenches and shared his blanket
at night. A shell killed dozen men
and buried this one, badly wounded.
in a trench which the explosion half
nlled with earth. The dog dug fran
t1cally for his master and managed to
expose his face before he suffocated.
Then he seized other soldiers by their
clothing and finally succeeded in draw
ing them to the scene. They unearthed
their comrade and put him on hos
pital train, into which the dog also
managed to force his way. At the
hospital, near Paris, the mans leg
was amputated, and the devotion of
the dog was such that the attendants
found a kennel for him near the
kitchens and allowed him to visit his
master twice a day His love for
the wounded man was so great and
his sympathy with his suffering so
evident as to touch the hearts OF all
who saw it.
What does it mean? Here is devO-
SAOA 0ACSSUS IudJ VI many
mothers, of many men. Here is affec-
ton manifested in lower order OF
life which equals our own. 1t is prob
ably true that the dog is of all AMI
mails the most capable of sincere, self
denying attachment, these higher quail
tiles having been developed by long
and close companionship with men.
He can subordinate himself more COM
pletely and enter into mans feelings
more alphabetically than any other
form of life; yet how friendly and
how loving to the extent of their ca
pacity would all the furred and feath-
cred folk of the woods and fields be
If only man would meet them hair
way. How the birds would delight to
sing for him if their confidence had
not been destroyed by ages of perse-
cutiOn. There are Hindus who assert
as a fact, within our experience, that
there are kindly men who respect all
animal life whom neither tigers nor
snakes will harm. An immunity or
this sort was assured of old to be-
levers, but it would seem that nobody
has sufficient faith to make trial OF it
nowadays.

Barnes and Charles E. Murphy about
legislation at Albany
Murphy, according to Arndts YER

In that one instance explained a
Roosevelt lawyer. Barnes may have
refused to aid Murphy, but we have
established the fact that they were in
