SCHWABE Is WESTMINSTER STAR
Columbia Boy Wins Title OF Best ALL
Around Track Athlete.

J. s. Schwabe. Jr.. graduate and
former athletic star of the Columbia
High School, came home last night
from Fulton. bringing with him the
title of best all-around track and field
athlete in Westminster College"
The title was won by Schwabe a
freshman this year, in the annual June
event staged at Westminster to award
this title. Each contestant takes part
in all events, the man holding the
highest number of points being de
clared the best athlete.
Thirteen track and field events were
scheduled. At the end of the tenth,
Schwabe had won thirty-nine points,
enough to win without the other three
events. First place in the high and
low hurdles. the discus throw and shot
put. ties for first in the high jump and
the broad jump. and second places
in the 1OO-yard, 5O-yard and 220-yard

up their own clothes.
Another source of discomfort is
the old-clothes men that are now
visiting Columbia. With their shrnwd
insight into human affairs, they know
that the average student is even more
broke now than at amy other tim.
So they go around. offer a dollar or
so for a perfectly good suit and are
taken up.
Old books are another source o.
revenue. Some students hear the call
of the filthy lucre" and gather as
many old books as they can and take
them to the dealer. who pays about
10 cents on the dollar. The seller
should worry" if he sells a history

So there are more reasons than one
why students hate TO see their friends

st. Louis Mayor Will Go With Ad
Club to philadelphia.

ST. Louie, Mo. jun Mayor
Kiel of st. Louis is going TO set an
example for the boosters" OF his city
this month when he journeys 10
Philadelphia with the Advertising
Club of st. Louis to make fight to
obtain the 1917 convention of the
Worlds Advertising Clubs for the
Missouri metropolis.
In order TO attend the convention in
Philadelphia the latter part of this
month. Mayor Kiel will pass up" the
Republican convention in Chicago.
Not that the two conventions come
upon the same date but the city Of
fetal announced that municipal bust
ness would make it unwise for him to
leave ST. Louis twice this month and
he thought that he could do more good
by whoOping things up in Philadelphia
for the St Louisans than listening to
the nominating speeches in Chicago.
Mayor Kiel will work hard to land
the 1917 convention for ST. Louis and
will explain the many advantages OF
his town as a convention city. The
Philadelphia convention will start on
June -. In addition to the Mayor a

ENCOURAGES TOWN MERCHANTS
W. L. Advertising Instructor Urges
Use OF "Big Business" Ways.

"The small town merchant too often
is of the opinion that it is impossible
for him to compete with the mail Or

Powell. instructor i'm advertising in
the University. This idea is wrong. ac-
cording to Mr.. Powell. who says that
if :" big business" methods are adopt
ed by small concerns the annual
profits will be as large proportionately
as those of large mail order houses
which send out beautifully decorated
catalogues.
Strict adherence to an accurate syS-
TEN OF bookkeeping, competent clerks.
store service and judiciOus advertising
are some Of the methods of big bust
ness Mr. Powell urges. About per
cent of the years gross sales should
be expended each year for advertising
bv the average business man. For
the small town merchant the home
newspaper is the best advertising me-
dunn. Care in the writing of adver-
tisements should be one Of the most
important parts of the big business
system. according to Mr.. Powell.

MORE TRUTH THAN
POETRY

n AR be it from the East
TIT Oregonian to sit in the
seat of the scorRful OF
plant mourning seeds in the
field of JOY. Nevertheless it is
hard to keep from smiling
when the Portland 0regonian
wakes eloquent over the stall
wart patriotism of the state in
standing by Hughes while all
other states of the west went
wrong. The mirth arises from
the fact that eastern Oregon,
comprising two thirds the area
Of the state, stood STRONGLY for
Wilson. Hughes carried only
the counties where for local
reasons business depression
rules the day, those counties
unfortunately having a larger
population than our section,
even with southern Oregon
thrown in. In other words it
is patent to anyone that the
Hughes Oregon vote was based
not on stalwart fidelity to the
G. 0. P. but on the fact our
Webfoot section was rather
thin about the ribs and voted
blindly for a change. The
facts are not poetic but they
are the facts just the same.
