The Cash and Carry Grabateria
The Changing Times

The era of Chain Stores came about because
group of men with large capital could, by starting
stores in different localities increase the outlet OF
merchandise eminatng from one source
The Chain Store system is nothing more than
any other store except the buying part concentrat
ed at one place The buyers for these stores have
their headquarters at the source of production and
they buy direct from the packer or the producer.
1t goes without saying that buyer who can buy
the same sort of merchandise for several hundred
stores can command better price than buyer tor
just store.
The secret of advantageous grocery prices III d.
Johns is this ability to buy in connection with many
other stores That is why you have had established
by this store better prices than prevail almost any
where in Portland
Coupled with this buying capacity, the activity
of the owners, the acquaintance with the locality De-
cause of our long residence here ought to convince
anv one that we can do business at less cost than the
average grocery
We always believed that "a word to the wise
was sufficient"

DANIELS TOO SOLIclToUS
 FOR THE ENLISTED MAN?

Washington, March 31.-The rela ton of the mental and temperament tai characteristic" of Secretary Dam iels to the alleged unpreparedness of the navy for war in 1911 was discus sed today before the senate naval in- vestigating committee by Rear Admi- ral Bradley A. Ffske retired. former Iy MT. Daniels chief adviser in the department as aide for operations. The secretaryis characteristics and previous training, Admiral Fiske said prevented him from taking "a broad and profound view of the navy's needs.
 Up to 1917, the official declared. MT. Daniels seemed convinced that there would never be another war.
 The witness described at some length his differences with the secre- tary. While their personal rela- tions" had been cordial, he said, he had found he could not work with Mir. Daniels and resigned as aide for operations in 1916.
 Mir. Daniels, Admiral Fiske said paid too much attention to details and did not sufficiently interest himself fl broad questions of plans and policies The secretary was particularly solic. itous regarding the welfare of enlist | ed men, the officer asserted, and maya i officers generally felt that he attached undue importance to the comfort O. the men and carried his4. efforts t, %democratize the navy 10 an exten inconsistent with discipline
 Secretary Daniels was. st1eeplS an, sincerely" interested in the welfare 0 the men, Admiral Fiske said. addinI that he opposed MT. Daniels plan fo the education of enlisted men be
 cause he thought the system woul
 take too much time from the militar
 training of the crews.
 Rear Admiral H. T. Mayo, who tes
 tified yesterday was asked by Chair
 man Hale today to prepare an addi tional statement setting forth h views with regard to the need for , well defined foreign policy as relate
 to naval preparedness and sugges ' tions for the avoidance in future wal of naval mistakes of the world wa He was informed that he would ! called before the committee again Ia 7 ter.

The action was hnal. Under the fules the question cannot be reopened at this session, which ends Saturday.
 voting on motion to disagree with the senate's resolution approv- ing the amendment. the house over whelmingly refused to sanction the enfranchisement of women. although a Dill already has been enacted making provision for women to vote if the amendment becomes effective. Thu vote on. disagreement was s4 to 23, as Aompared With a previous adverse vote in the house of 1O6 to 25.

Precedent Br
 by Stock Exchange
Suspended Further Dealings in Stutz Motor Shares Fol lowing Sensational Rise.

New York, March S1. Further dealings in Stutz Motor shares, one of the recent meteoric features of the stock exchange. were temporari- ly suspended by special act of gov ernors of the exchange after the close of today's session.
 This applies not only to trading on the floor of the exchange, but also to private transactions between mem- bers outside of the exchange and is without precedent in the history of that institution.
 Officials of the stock exchange de- clined to explain or in any way ann plify the action of the governing com mittee, which confined it's statement to the bare announcement that furth CT trading would be suspended. Stutz has been the most conspicu- ous stock of the last few weeks. ris- ing from 123 1-2, it's final price on March 6, to 3s1 at the close of today trading The advance had been steady at. daily gains of 10 to almost 90 points.
 Approximately 10000 shares have I changed on the rise, or about 10,00f 1 shares more than the entire issue 1 This is not unusual in itself, as many active stocks are turned over severa times in excess of their total issu' | during an a-live period running in l to several weeks or more.
 | Stutz is said to be controlled b. Allan A. Ryan, head of the banking | house of A. A. Ryan and Company | MT. Ryan is president of the compan.
 and active in it's management. N statement was obtainable from tn Ryan interests, other tha that the knew nothing of any attempt to "cor ner the stock" which they said ha
 been available for buying or loanin
 purposes throughout it's advance.
 Stock exchange gossip has associ ated the sensational rise of Stutz wit reports that a prominent steel mar
 went heavily short of the stoc
 some 200 points under today's recor
 quotation and that he was bein
 squeezed" by those in control of tn
 property.
 There were other rumors that Slut
 and several motor specialties dom mated by Ryan and his friends wel to be taken into a huge consolidate of motor interest in process of ol ganization by one of the leading al : tomobi1e companies of the country Later it was announced that A. . Ryan and Company mad caused . advertisement to be inserted in Il 5 fnacial columns of the local new g papers offering to purchase ar :, shares of Stutz Motor that may 3 offered for sale. This was done,
 was said to protect owners of u
 stock against the suspension order,
