SAVING THE STORE PROFIT
Some Thinks System of Wholesale
And Retail distribution is
Wrong.

There are some persons who fee
that the entire system of wholesale
and retail distribution is wrong, and
that it enables large body OF
non-producers to get living and be-
come rich.
Yet when these sheorists are ask
ed to formulate any definite plans
by which the consumer shall get
that share of his dollar which is now
paid to retailers and wholesalers
they are unsuccessful in making any
constructive suggestions.
In some places farmers are or
ganizing cooperative buying
schemes. By purchasing some staples
direct from wholesalers they can
frequently make saving. However,
the retailer who has made a life
long study of purchasing, can buy
cheaper than a man who takes il
up as a side issue. Also if you
reduce the volume of business or
business done BY the stores of your
home town, by buying certain staples
direct of wholesalers, you make it
more costly to run he home stores,
and they can not distribute other
commodities as cheapIy.
In many places groups of custom
ems of household commodities have
tried the experiment of combining to
buy in large quantities. Sometimes,
they seem to make savings. But
someone has to put a lot of time
into the proposition. and if he
charged for his time. the merchan-
disc might cost more than the re-
tail store charges.
Frequently heavy express charges
eat up all the savings made by the
direct purchase. 1t is noticeable
that these schemes are usually short
lived. People find they can put in
their time more proftably in other
ways.
The way to reduce retail prices, is
not to attempt to cut out the re-
taller, but to buy goods of those who
by advertising build up large trade
which can be handled at a minimum
of expense. To distribute goods from
the centers of supply into the in.
diViduaI home, involves vast
amount Of work that someone has tc
pay for A well managed and ad
vertised retail store does the thing
with less expense than any othel
agency yet devised

Country Doctor Has His Rewards

The Massachusetts country doctor,
it is estimated, takes in about $4,000
a year. That is more than most of
his clerical brethren earn. But it is
little enough for a man fit to repair
the delicate human enginery. The
real reward in his profession, as with
the rural ministry, lies in the res
pect he commands, and the chance to
be regarded as the best friend and
helper of a wide circle. Strong as
the lure of city practice is to many
a physician, there are some who are
fortunately content with the less
conspicuous place in the sun Of pub
/ lie recognition and professional ac-
claim that rural practice offers. 1t
does not follow, however, that doc
tor in a small place is obscure.
( Rochester, Minnesota, is not so big
as Philadelphia, Boston, or New
York, yet a multitude in quest OF
healing has hit the trail to the shrine
of eminent physicians there. William
Dean Howells was fond of pointing
out the excellence of the literature
produced in quiet country places, anC
it is true of other forms of healinl
that not all of the ablest ministrant
are Observation-Disclosures Pub

Our Eating" Costs

1t costs less to eat in 1921 than in
1920. The difference is the differ
ence between 13 cents back in change
out Of a IS bill in 1920 and s1.94
back out of the bill you proffered
last week.
Bradstreet's has an index number.
It is based on the wholesale prices
per pound of thirty-one articles used
for food. Last week it was $500;
week before last S3.07 and the last
week a year ago it was S4.S7. The
difference between last week and a
year ago is 81 per cent; between
last week and week before last only
three-tenths of l per cent.
Eighty commodities are quoted.
Eleven advanced last week, twenty
eight declined and forty-one re-
NAMED without change.
1t should cost 37.1 per cent less to
buy food today than year ago to-
day. That is SO cents ought to go as
far as a dollar went a year ago.
But does it? Do we advantage
ourselves of the 81 cent drop or
simply buy something more with the
81 cents?
That's a home question to be asked
and answered there and at at the
grocery store.

He Was A Great Man"

Not long ago a certain man went
the way of all human kind and was
laid to rest in Glenwood.
The minister said he was "great
man.. The two daily papers car
ried his picture and devoted three
columns to the history of his life and
said that he was a great man."
His club passed resolutions upon
the demise of great man..
His neighbors said, I'VE have lost
great man..
And i was interested in knowing
why everybody spoke in the same
terms of this departed soul, because
| had been acquainted with him for
a few years and had never noticed
any special evidences of greatness.
He had never been mayor of the
town or a member of the legislature,
or even justice of the peace. He
was not a philanthropist, because he
was a poor man. He was not a
public speaker, because his educa-
ton was meager. He was not a
politician and was not considered
particularly influential in his COM
munity.
However, | found that this man
never failed to keep an appointment;
that he never passed up a beggar;
that he never spoke harShly to a
child; that he never took a dollar
from any person unjustly; that he
was mild-mannered and quiet of
speech; that he raised a family of
respectful and respectable children;
that he never mixed up in neigh
borhood quarrels; that he was ready
at any minute to fight for the
thing that he thought was right;
that he was industrious; that he
was sober: that he was God-fearing.
But / was unable to find that he
had ever done anything in any line
that would entitIe him to be called
great man..
And / am wondering yet if to
be a great man" it is necessary
only to practice the simple old
fashioned virtues that in these tu-
multuous days we are sometimes
prone to forget.

Sleeping Sickness.

Medical experts disagree in their
conclusions aS to the exact nature of
sleeping sickness. Some forms Of
sleeping sickness are not unlike
brain fever, while others indicate
symptoms much similar to spinal
meningitis. Physicians advise caution

Ousted And
Seeks Jail

MRS. Mary Peters was given a
bed in the jail tonight. She said
that her daughter, who lives on
21st street, had driven her from
her home"
That was the whole story, us re-
lated in the meagre item on the
Salem police blotter. The incident
was closed for the desk sergeant
when the iron door had changed
on the elderly woman's back and
he had set down on the blotter the
details relating thereto.
II was 6:10 when the old lady
entered the station. The sergeant,
busy. with other things, first look
ed up when a violent gust OF wind
slammed shut the heavy door
which leads to the department of
police.
The woman, Mrs. Peters, was
sixty and gray haired. She paused
at the desk, undecided. Then she
told her story, very briefly, very
brokenly.
Her daughter, she said, didn't
want her. She had ordered her TO
leave. Now Mrs. Peters must find
some place to sleep.
1t was very chs,fy outside. Pc
destrians jammed their hands far
ther down in their overcoat pock-
cts and pulled up heavy collars.
Inside the station the sergeant had
procured his large key-ring. Mrs
Peters was taken to the woman's
cell.
This morning It was learned
that Mrs. Peters owns II acres Of
land in Josephine county. Au-
thorities intimated that she may
be sent to the locality in which
her property lies.

classification of Tes-
timony by Witness
In Arbuckle Case Is
Alleged

San Francisco, Nov. ga
warrant charging Mrs. Minnie
Neighbors of Los Angeles, de-
Tense witness, with perjury in her

UPH0LDS
RIGHTS OF
WIDOWS
Supreme Court Holds
That r e m a r r i age
Does Not Forfeit
Dover Rights

Remarriage and removal to the
home Of her new husband does
not disqualify a widow to claim
and have set apart to her the
exempt property of the estate Of
her deceased husband.
Neither can the election to ac-
cept fee simple in lieu of dover
be regarded as a substitution for
the widows right to have the ex-
empt property set apart to her.
These, in brief, sum up the
opinion written by Justice Nc
Court and handed down by the
supreme court this morning re-
versing the decision Of Judge
George Tazwell OF the probate
court for Multnomah county in
the case of Jacob Iltz, adminis-
traitor of the estate of Henry Iltz,
deceased, VS. Katherine Krieger
formerly Katherine Iltz. The
opinion remands the case to a new
trial with directions to the cir
cult court to make an order set
ting apart to appellant the real
property in question as exempt
property of the estate OF Henry
Iltz, deceased.
Homestead Right
In another opinion also writ
ten by Justice McCourt in the
case Of the estate of Harry e
Leet, deceased, vs. Bertha G
Barr. administrators, ct al, thu
decree of Judge Tazwell is also
reversed and the case remandet
for a new trial.
In this case, affecting thu
homestead right Of the surviving
husband, the opinion holds thai
"the power of testamentary dispo'
sition of the homestead property
conferred upon a married woman
by statute, is subordinate to the
authority conferred upon the pro-
bate court to set apart the prop
erty to her surviving husband fol
his support and that of the minor
children"
In rernanding the case for a
new trial the court directs the cir
cult court to enter an order set
ting apart to appellant the real
property described in appellants
petition as exempt property Of the
estate of Mary E. Leet, deceased
