SALEM YULE:
TRADE: GOOD
THIS SEASON
Sensible Gifts Purchased
Chiefly; Many Merch-
ants say Volume of Busi
ness Bigger This Year.

II Salem merchants "this yea,
4 found their Christmas business as
y good, and probably better than il
was last year. This was not true
at every store, but the statement
holds for the majority.
One element stood out preemi-
nently in the huge bulk of YuIe-
tide transactions. Salem buyers
this year sought sensible gifts
presents which would prove assets
to those to receive them. Without
exception the shopkeepers inter-
viewed explained that the useless
gifts had found no demand and
over this fact they expressed sat-
isfaction.
More Sales Recorded.
Far more purchases were made
this year than last, although less
was spent for the individual gift
One jeweler explained that his
sales would run larger than last
year, but he added that, in 1921,
be disposed of many more expen-
slVe gifts.
Our business is much better
than 1t was last year." promt-
nent clothier declared. The pro-
pretor of another store, which
caters to men, declared that bust
ness had been exceptionally good
greatly in excess of what he had
expected.
Christmas buyers shopped late
this year, despite the many admo-
ntiOns to the contrary. Most store
managers said their trade yester-
lay and today was in excess OF
my previous days.
Cigar stores were popular with
many late buyers who were seek
ng gifts for men and these re-
'orted a good business. The vol
lme, managers said, will be no
etter than last year, however.
onfectionery store proprietors
eclared their business will be as
God as last year, though perhaps
Q better. The heads of electric
torres said trade had been good.
No definite estimates on volume
ould be made this morning, due
the fact that a heavy trade for
lis afternoon was in prospect.
Not one of the many merchants
teryiewed expressed dissatisfac-
on with his Yuletide returns.

CHURCHES To
FIGHT RETURN.
Of ARBUCKLE:. /.
Secretary of Fe deral
Council Asks Hays Why
He, AS Committeeman,
Was Not Consulted.

New York, Dec. 23.-The Rev
Charles S. MacFarland genera
secretary of the Federal Council
OF the Churches of Christ in Am.
erica, today made public a letter
to VIII H. Hays, head of the mo-
tlon picture industry, calling for
an explanation why he, as a mem
Der of Mr., Hays committee on
Iblic relations" was not CON
tied about the reinstatement of
= 'scoe q. Arbuckle, who figured
: the party that resulted in the
; ath of Virginia Rappe.
Motives Questioned
Mr.. MacFarland, as general
o 'retary of the church federation,
, member of the executive COM
ttee of the committee on public
:, ations which Mr.. Hays organ
q recently from various relig-
Is and civic organizations to aid
him in putting the movies on a
higher plane.
His letter, besides raising the
poiht Of why he was not consulted.
declared that unfortunately the
impression has gained ground that
this is due to pressure of finan-
cial interests invested in Arbuc
kle pictures. -
Mr.. MacFarland quoted the fol-
lowing telegram from the st.
Louis Federation of Churches:
"St. Louis church people are in
censed over the proposal Of Will
Hays on behalf of moving picture
interests to bring Arbuckle back
INTO the films. Strong supporting
resolutions will undoubtedly be
passed in st. Louis by denomina-
.1onal ministerial bodies, by min
sterial alliance and by church
'ederation. Is council taking ac-
.ion?"
"The enclosed telegram" his
etter said, is merely an indica-
ion in my judgment of the gener-
Il expressions which are coming
md will continue to come from
,ur religious and moral forces re-
ative to your decision in the Ar
buckle matter.
MAY 1 raise the question why
here was no consultation what
ver with persons representing the
hurch, whose cooperation you
ave sought.
1T would seem as though this
yould have been a matter on
,hich, above all, you would have
yanted counsel and advice from
eople who represent these large
odies reflecting SO wide an area
public opinion, -

from New Orleans and an infantry
company from Alexandria, as well
as car of ammunition and ma
chine guns.

Santa Fe,, N. M, Dec. 23.-
Seven men who arrived in Santa
Fe driving large touring car
were taken into custody here to-
day for investigation. Officers at
Las Vegas wired local officials to
arrest them, believing they might
be the bandit fugitives who held
up and robbed United States fed
eral reserve bank employees of
100000 at Denver last Monday.
1t appears, however, that suspi-
cions are base almost entirely on
the fact that one of them cashed
a brand new SIS bill at a restau-
rant at Las Vegas last night.
The men will not be released
until full investigation has con-
vinced officers that they were in
no way implicated with the Den
yer robbery.

While the note bore the seriol

A NATION OF CANDY EATERS

One Of the remarkable results Of pro.
hlbltiCn Is the growth Of tile candy
business since The enactment Of the
eighteenth amendment. There was In
vested in this business In 1914 the slm
Of $110Si5,000. There Is now invested
S500000,00O, tremendous Jump In
values. Perhaps 1t is this demand that
Keeps candy prices so high, in tan face
OF the great drop In sugar, says the
Boston Post. There is no nation In
the world that consumes so great 0
quantity Of these sweets MS do the
people Of the United States. With a
population now estimated at 115,000,-
600 II means that over four dollars
worth OF candy Is made annually for
every man. woman and child In the
country. The theorists hold that this
growing consumption is owing to a
craving for some sort Of a substitute
for alcoholic beverages. This presents
n problem for the psychologist md
psychologist to work out. The fact Is.
seemingly, that the water wagon has
become a confectionery wagon, and
that hundreds OF thousands Of unwil-
ling riders find some solace In bon
hons and chocolate creams, who In
the pre-prohlbton days. may not even
have known the taste of these delec-
tables.

Inefficient operating methods cause
a loss OF more thar slO0,0OO000 a yenr
to American hospitals. This was esti-
mated In Chlcayo. at n conference OF
hospital experts. You hear the same
charges about every other branch OF
human activity, whenever there's q
national trade conference. Exag'
gerated? Possibly. But they empha-
size the possibility Of economy, says
the Chicago Post. Our natural re-
sources have been drained-in some
cnses, like forests, are near extinction.
The key to future wealth Is the
elimination OF waste and duplication
Of energy.

Of this Is that, when the country peo-
pie come to town. It is usunlly possible
to tell from the pattern OF their
clothes, tho stripes In them and from
their methods Of speaking, just what
particular part Of the country they
come from. In America no one can
tell country person from any one
else. The fourfold division OF society
--snmurnl. farmer, artisan and mcr-
which prevailed from early
