Believing there is a need in this sec
ton for a store in our line which will
sell at a much less profit than now ask
ed for such merchandise, we have de-
cided to sell from this date strictly for
cash. We will handle no used OF sec
ond hand goods under any circum-
stances, but will give the buying pub
lie an opportunity to buy clean, up TO
date merchandise ait a much closer
margin of profit than they have been
able to do for a number Of years. No
discounts. One price to all, and that
price the very lowest.
WHY WE CAN SELL CHEAPER BY
DOING THIS WAY
In the first place, we have no losses.
We do o have to pay for bookkeep-
ers or collectors. We do not have to
maui goods to people who find they
cannot pay, and then have 70 haul them
back, at a loss to the purchaser as well
as the merchant. We do not claim that
We can buy goods cheaper than our
fellow merchants, for their dollars are
just as good as ours; but we do claim
we can sell for a less profit, for the
above reasons.
We fully realize by selling for cash
We are not floating down stream with
the crowd, but are rather out on tina
stream by ourselves pulling up stream
the current. But we believe by
a strong pull, giving dependable mer-
.handise at a close profit, giving the
very best service we know how, that
will win the class of people for Gus
toners who appreciate good goods at
close margins.

Wheat is quoted at about $3.50 a bushel. 1t takes
about four and a half bushels of wheat to make a barrel
of flour. The wheat used in making a barrel of flour at
this price would be worth $50. Allowing one dollar for
grinding, which is a liberal allowance SINCE the by
products about pay for the milling, flour should be worth
1910 a barrel, or with wheat at $3.50, worth $685.. 1t is
quoted here at $1,000 a barrel. Will Nh. Wilcox, who is
not only the boss miller of the northwest but also a gov
eminent official in the food CONSERVATION department,
kindly explain why?

SOLDIERS LIBRARY FUND.

The campaign for soldiers libaries is on. Salem is
asked to raise $3.50 of the $1,000 1000 fund required and it
is hoped to raise it during the coming week by active
solicitation in the city, supplemented by work at the state
fair. This is a worthy movement and gives the people
who cannot go to the front another splendid opportunity
to do their bit. The soldier boys will want to read in their
leisure moments like all the rest of us, possibly more be-
cause they will be far from home and friends, and read
ing will help to pass the many lonesome off dutyh hours
away. And if the soldiers have the opportunity to read
we at home must give it to them--the government will
have it's hands full feeding and clothing them and furnish
ing the munitions of war. Competent librarians have
made out a list of 5000 books which will be of great value
to the soldiers and in this way will help to win the war.
These books include foreign language study books, espec-
tally French, works on aviation, wireless telegraphy, sub
marines, automobiles, signaling, first aid and hygiene;
also there will be war manuels and personal memoirs of
the war. The principal magazines and periodicals will,
of course, be included in the reading matter sent to the
front because the boys will want these publications as
well as some of the daily newspapers in order to keep
posted on the current events of the world at large.
In addition to the books there must be library buildings
ant. librarians to care for the books-and all this requires
money.
Salem people are going to do their share in this in
stance, because there are few slackers here; one dollar
a piece from $50 persons and the thing is done, a burden
upon no one but furnishing the means of greatly bene-
fitting the boys in khaki who are fighting the nations
battles on THE sodden fields of France and Belgium.

MR.. MAN
by Walt Mason

NIX. MAN
Man walks through life with locoed tread,
and finds the going rough; through all his
youth he looks ahead---the future is the
stuff. He'll do great things in coming
years, when he has half a show, his fame
will ring through all the spheres and reach
to Broken Bow. He's so impatient for the
time when he can hit the spots, that youth,
the golden and sublime, is gone before he
wots. Youth, youth! 1t passes like the
wind, and cannot be recalled; and man
wakes up some day to find he's tired and
old and bald. He sees the wreck of noble
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-09-22

"The plans of youth are idle dreams that won't outlive the
years Now he is always looking back, as once he gazed
ahead; his eyes are on the rugged track that knew his
hopeful tread. The future has no charms for him, it
smiles for him no more; the past appeals to eyes grown
dim, ne talks of days of yore. Oh, youth, forevermore
your gaze is fixed on things ahead; while age laments the
vanished days, and sadly counts its dead.

Count Won Bernstorff wept when he left America, and
regretted that he would probably never come back. This
should cease to cause the count any regret now. He would
probably regret it still more should he be forced to again
visit America.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair SO frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers IS one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
10y dissolving a teaspoonful of can
throX. which can be obtained from
any druggist, in . cup of hot water
This makes Il full cup of shampoo
liquid enough SO it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top OF the head. This when rubbed
into the scalp and onto every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. 1t is very soothing and cool
ing in its action, as well as beneficial
to both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created. you will
find the scalp is fresh. clean and free
from dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes it seem very heavy.-Adv.
