 THIS four-store buying power benefits our customers in more ways than one. First the quantity dis counts and other concessions obtain gets the goods to our stores at lower wholesale cost Second head is prorated among four stores which brings sell ing cost down to bedrock. Third each store is under the personal supervision of member of the fip and their pooled knowledge of local conditions and tastes gives them viewpoint of merchandising from four diff ferent angles, compared with the restricted view point of one store.

VICTORIA PASSENGERS
 GIVE ESKIMO GIRL AID

SEATTLE. Oct. 6.-Dr. J. H. Condit of Juneau, superintendent of the Pres byterian board of missions is now at Seattle, having arrived on the Victoria from Nome
 Perhaps the most popular passenger on the steamship Victoria, which ar rived in Seattle. September 14 from Nome. was little Mary Buck, a IA year-old crippled Indian girl.
 Mary. whose Indian name is Iggi- yuk, was one of q party of five native children on their way to the Indian school at Chemawa, Oregon.
 "Mary's troubles began in the fall of 1919." said Dr. Condit She was living at Rocky Point. nine miles from Nome. with her father and mother, two brothers and sister. shortly after the last trip of the steamship Victoria the influenza broke out in Nome and the surrounding country. More than one half of the Eskimo pop ulation died There were left seventy five flu orphans, among them Mary.
 When a relief party entered the home of Mary's parents they found them dead and the four children hud- died together in one bed The wealth CT was very cold It was in the dead of winter. Mary. then 12, and an older brother. had taken off most of their clothes and wrapped them about the two smaller children. The brother died a short time later from the eff fleets of the cold and Mary's left leg was frozen and had to he amputated above the knee.
 Mary was taken to live with her grandmother at Mountain village, but finally the government teacher put her on a barge and sent her down the river. The girl had practically no clothing and an old sourdough at Mountain village gave her $20 to pur- chase some.
 Mary was supplied with crutches when her leg was amputated, but these are too short now and have been broken several times"
 Dr. Condit brought the little .Ftrls case to the attention of the passengers and they took up q collection of $l05 tu buy her an artificial limb.

BARS DEMOCRATS FROM PRIMARY WHO VOTED
 FOR G. 0. P. CANDIDATE

Richmond, Va. April 2.-According to an opinion given by Assistant At torney General Hank, no man or wom- an may take part as candidate or voter in the democratic primary in August who voted for republican candidates at the last general election. The case in point was that of l.. w. Graves of Orange county, who desires to enter the race for the house of delegates, bur who voted for Glass, Moore and Hard ing. In his opinion on the subject Mir. Hank says:
 If it were true that a person could vote in a democratic primary because he voted for some, but not all, of the nominees of the democratic party In the November election, then manifestiy Ee could also vote in any primary that the republican party held because he voted for some of the nominees of that party in the last preceding general election.
 Ut is obvious that the Legislature never intended to provide that person could vote in two primaries of oppo- site parties held for the purpose of SC. lecting nominees who should oppose each other in the general election for which the primary was held. The primary law provides that no person shall vote for the candidates of more than one party"

MILITARY FUNERAL \ FOR LIEUT.. CONEY Business Ceases in Brunswick Out of Respect to Dead
 Aviator
By Associated Press

Brunswick, Ga, April 2.-Business houses closed here late today while a great procession of Brunswick citizens turned out to pay last tribute to Lieut.. William Devee Coney, who lost his life trying to break his own trans continental flight record.
 There were even more persons who sought to do honor to the young army aviator than were in the crowd which greeted him with cheers here few weeks ago when he visited his old home after his flight from California to Florida.
 The funeral was a military one, and the special guard of honor was the Brunswick Rifles, the national guard organization with which Coney went to the Mexican boarder in 1916. Maj J. E. Claggett of the air service represented the army. Floral tributes were sent by many Brunswick friends, and many other floral offerings came from other cities. Hundreds of telegrams were re- ceived by Mrs. E. F. Coney, the dead aviator's mother.
 Burial was at Palmetto cemetery, and the Rev. William Johnson was in charge of the service
