"Strictly Cash"
May Be Slogan of
Turner Merchants

Turner, Or, March lO.--Busi'
ness men of Turner held a meeting
Monday evening to discuss the ad-
visibility OF placing all commercial
enterprises in the city upon a strict
ly cash basis. The merchants. it is
said believe they will be better able
TO compete with mail order houses
Il every business in town is con-
Quoted on absolutely cash basis.
Mail order buying seems to be
growing in this community and the
business men believe the way to-
fight the evil is to cooperate.
While nothing definite has yes de-
veloped from the undertaking, i'll
was made plain at the meeting CnI
Monday night that the pay cash
system is unanimously approved In
Turner. 1t is probable that a meet
ing will be held at some time in the
near future when permanent or
ganization will be effected. and the
pians formulated Monday nightl
will be consummated.
Talk of proposed grange store In
Salem is believed by many to bel
one of the chief reasons for form
ing this organization among the
business men OF Turner. 1t is said
that the farming community tri-
butary to Turner is nearly so per
cent grange. aud IL cooperative
store is established at Salem,
which Is said to be very probable,

The beloved Uncas, last of the

man to be the carrier of Uncas'
message Hence Tourneur exam
ined many actors, until he found
Albert Roscoe, who is an eighth

leading man. He shaved his hair,
barred his body and made up for

Magua, the Hun like redskin,
who betrays the whites, is in the
capable hands of Wallace Iseery,
noted villain and bad man, who
carries off ali honors for playing
mean parts.
The colonel's two daughters,
Cora and Alice. played by Barbara
Bedford and Lillian Hall, respect

silver sheet.
1t is unjust to call any actor in
''The Last of the Mohicans" a

Siverton City
Council Holds
Special Meeting

Silverton, Or, March 10.--At 2
special meeting OF the common
council held few nights ago tc
hear objections, If any. to the pro-
posed improvement of South Mill
street, not one objection was Offer
ed. There being no one interested
to demonstrate the city recorder
was instructed to advertise for bids
as provided by charter. South Mill
street is a residence portion of the
city in Cowing addition, situated
on the east side of Silver creek and
is a desirable locality for homes,
but the condition of the streets has
been such in years past that little
development has been accomplish :
ed. The citizens are almost unanl-
nous in the desire to have 4 hard
surface street constructed and 1t
is probable that they will reach
this achievement within a short
time.
Another feature of the special
meeting Of the council was to order
q great pile of gravel, which has
been a menace to traffic for several
months, removed from Water street
between Main and Oak. To the sat
isfaction of many citizens the street
commissioner was instructed to
move the gravel.
When walking along Water street
near the residence of Rev. j. A. j..
Bennett a few days ago young
girl narrowly escaped injury Wheh
a large rock hurled from the west
side of the creek where men were
blasting, fell close to her feet. Thet
rock was hurled with such force
that she would have been seriously
injured il 1t had struck her 1t
came close enough, at least, to give
her great scare.

FOREIGN LABOR
 IS NOW WANTED
Unemployment Situation in France in Such Shape
 Foreigners Wanted.

PARIS, Dec. 19.-There are only 16,400 persons officially recorded as out of employment in France. The nation is now in a position to receive foreign labor. Wages. however, are low in comparison to scales existing in greater industrial countries.
 The situation is regarded as un- usually good in view of widespread unemployment in Great Britain and other countries. Latest figures re- ceived by the French government show that there are 1,423,000 persons out of work ill the United Kingdom.
 So fortunate is the situation in France that it is now estimated that the country can employ 1,600,00 for eign workmen compared with 00000 before the war. The greater portion of these would be sent to the farms and the remainder used in the build ing trades, mines and other indus tries.
 A bill to regulate the importation of foreign labor into France will shortly be introduced in the Cham Der. The measure creates a special bureau under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to regulate the importation of foreign labor without hardship to the native workers.

 'T don't know personally Of course, but I imagine that prohibition, when it comes to America, will make Christmas rather dreary day. Of course, l know that too much of the Christmas spirit that comes in bot ties is bad. But I hate to think of drinking toasts of water or lemon pop"
 Mr. Balfour indulged in hearty chuckle when asked whether Eng land was going dry.
 "The regulations now are much more liberal." he said, than they were during the war. You know it was necessary during the war to reg. ulate the public houses rather strict ly, Since the war. however. regula- tions have been made much more lib- eral. and today they are nearly back to where they were before the war

 MT. Balfour then asked for infor- nation on the operations of bootleg gers. He was curious regarding the means of smuggling liquor into America.
 When he was informed that former subchasers were used for transport Ing liquor from the Bahamas to Ches- apeake Bay and the Florida coast he laughed heartily:
 'lll use that in my argumen. against submarines he declared "It will be good' point to show the evils of increasing armament. If there had been no submarines there would have been no subchasers. And without subchasers the rum runners might have great difficulty. eh?"

GERMANY TAKES POSITION UPON
 RACE SUICIDE
Cement Houses Being Con- structed to Correct h.
 fant Mortality.

BERLIN, Dec. 19.-Infant mortal ity, which is increasing throughout Germany, principally in cities, has impelled a widespread movement by civic welfare associations and moth CTS leagues to alleviate living con dhions by securing municipal or CO operative construction of small dwell ings in the suburbs Colonies" of cement houses. rapidly built by use of moulds, have appeared by thou sands in the last few months, the occupants being assured of abund ance of light and air.
 While Germany has, properly speaking, no such thing as "slums, the slowing up of construction dur ing the war produced insanity and crowded conditions among the poorer classes. Half a million homes are required to relieve the congestion in Berlin, and reports from Hamburg say there are 1000 families, with an average of six children to the fam fly, living in one-room apartments. Sanitary inspectors of a number of cities report as many as 10 persons living in single room being born, living. eating. sleeping and dying, in space which only two persons could healthfully inhabit.".
 The mortality among children in these crowded centers has been found to be vastly higher than with the children of peasants, who have the advantages of space for play ground open air, and sunlight Meanwhile, a disinclination to in crease the size of apartment build ings is evident among the promoters of the "healthier children" move ment.
 It is pointed out that adjacent to every German city there are large tracts of untitled lands which ought to be donated to charity by the own CTS. many of whom are nonresident or rich and who hold the lands for speculative purposes.
