TEN PER Cent IS
ONLY ADAfDREAM
Another Townley Dream Elk
plodes When His Money-Sel-
ling Slogan Became Lifeless
Today - Rumors United
Stores Company Has Not
Made Good On Original Con
tract.

Bismarck, NJ. D., Jan. 2S.-BANG!
Another Townley dream has exploded.
His great morey-selling slogan "who-
lesale plus ten percent" is lifeless to-
day.
Rumors regarding the Consumers
United Stores Company, the Townley
concern, to the effect that the COM
pany had not been able to make good
on its original contract, namely the
selling Of the goods at ten percent
over the. wholesale price and that the
limited amount of goods that has been
sold We're disposed Of at a loss are
substantiated by the statement made
at the meeting Of the contract hold
ers at Fargo last week and the action
taken changing the system So that
the goods will now be sold at current
market prices.
This is the cause of the change in
the plan of organization whereby the
contract holders become stockholders.
Under the terms of the original con-
tract the stores could have only charg-
ed the ten percent over wholesale pri-
ces
League organizers under Townley's
instructions went up and down the
state organizing these stores, telling
what exorbitant prices the merchants
were charging and calling them rob-
bers and thieves and promising them
that a margin Of ten percent owe the
wholesale price would give them plen-
ty Of profit to do business on.
Townley has therefore renigged on
his contract to the farmers. This is
just what everybody expected. Town
ley's slogan, wholesale plus ten per-
cent',lwas just hot air to be used by
his organizers in selling the stock. It
worked. He sold 1900 contract GER
tiflcates enabling the holder to byy
at ten percent plus wholesale price,
making a total of $1,1Oo,00O received.
So. has Townley's slogan, the far
mer'se program svsshed.. It has been
such q good money-maker that he
doesn't want to uut1it in effect and If
he did start to put it in effect Alex
Mckenzie and some of his old-gang
political cronies would leave him.
But they apparently are perfectly
willing to espouses red revolutionary
radicalsm if there is money in it.

Auto Hits Team;
None Injured

Silyerton, Ore, Dec. 2S.--A col
lision between a team of horses be-
longing to John Kloster and an
automobile owned by Marquam
man occurred at the outskirts of
the city Sunday night. According
to the report given to the police
yesterday morning, Kloster and his
wife were riding in the front seat
of the buggy and his father and
mother in the back seat. He was
on the right side of the road and
as he came almost opposite the
Catholic school an automobile
crashed into both horses. Both of
the animals were injured and one
so seriously, it is said, that 1t
will probably have to be killed.
None of the persons in the buggy
were injured to any great extent.
The driver of the car said that
the rain made it impossible for him
to see the team as the vehicle car
ried no light. A car was seen on
the left side of the road, he said,
probably attempting to pass the
buggy and to avoid hitting the car
he turned to the left side of the
road and struck the team. Mr.
Kloster will ask damages.

Half Of City's
$1,000 Relief
Quota Raised

Approximately $4,000 of Salem s
allotted $1,000 of the $4,000, 90
relief fund for the children of Eur
ope has been raised, F. G.. Decke-
bach, chairman of the committee
in charge of the local work, esti-

is hoped, will have contributed her
quota by the first of the year.
Fifteen hundred dollars already
has been placed either with Mr..
Deckebach or with the local banks.
Besides this sum, substantial
amount has been raised by a score
of Salem churches, the Salem Ro-
tarians, and other organizations.
Only two churches had reported to
Mr.. Deckabach this morning, the
First Methodist church and the
Friends church. One thousand and
sixty-five dollars has been raised
by the Methodist church, approxi-
mately $48 by the Friends church.
Besides the $1065 contributed by
Methodist for European children,
another fund of $e250 was donated
for Chinese relief.
81 am confident that the people
of Salem will make good" Mr..
Deckabach said this morning. This
should be our last week. But L
would like. to urge contributors to
make their donations as early as
possible, so that we may report
soon that Salem has come
through"
Unlike most other campaigns for
money, there is no soliciting for the
European children-donations are
all made voluntarily. Checks should
be made payable either to Mr..
Deckebach or to any of the local
banks.
