PIGGLY WIGG[Y.
IS 4 YEARS .
OLD HERE
eH-SerVice Groceries Are
Observing Anniversary With
Special Price Offerings

This week marks the fourth an.
nlVersary Of the establishment of
P1ggly Wiggly Stores, Inc, in the
National Capital.
During the latter part Of May,
1920, the first Piggy Wiggly store
was established in Washington as
an experiment and the popularity of
the no.clerk, self.service policy
proved such a success that the
chaln has been increased steadily.
The first Piggy Wiggly store was
opened in Memphis, Tenn, in 1915.
The unique idea Of letting Gus.
toners wait on themselves made
such hit there that it spread like
Wildfire through the South. After
the plan had proved itself by four
years PRACTICAL experience there the
or1g1nators Of the scheme decided
to test its popularity in Washing
ton. The idea took" here from the
start and the officers Of the ma
t1onal organization confess them
selves highly gratified over the re.
Spouse.
In connection with the obser.
vance of the fourth anniversary,
the Piggy Wiggly Stores, Inc, to.
day publish exclusively in The
Washington Times the largest gro
Gerry store and pure food section
ever produced by a daily paper in
Washington. Credit is given Wash
ington housewives for frightening
the Piggy Wiggly chain here ex.
ceptional price offerings are made
and the section contains an an.
nouncement that two new stores are
to be added in the near future.

NOMINATE
i. COOLIDGE
Picked for G. o. P. Convention
Job If Indiana Foes Can
Be Appeased
By GEORGE e. DURNO,
international News Service.

Albert J. Beveridge, former
United States Senator from In
diana, has been rendered the honor
Of placing President Coolidge in
nomination at the Cleveland con-
vention, it was learned today.
Beveridge's acceptance will be
conditioned on the effectiveness of
truce established between him
and his former political enemies,
Postmaster General Harry New,
whom he defeated for the Repub-
lican Senatorial nomination in
1922, and Senator James E. Wat
son of Indiana. All indications
point to Beveridge's acceptance If
this condition can be met.
Borah Refuses Job.
The Indianan has been recon.
mended by the Presidents closest
advisors. Some time ago Mr.. Cool.
idge decided that he should be
placed in nomination by a mid
western Progressive. Beverage and
Senator William e. Borah, of Idaho,
filled the requirements, and when
the Presidents friends informally
approached both men, Borah settled
the question by endorsing Beverage
Senator Borah let it be known
that he would not even attend the
Cleveland convention unless Con-
gress passed farm aid legislation be-
fore adjournment. At the same
time. he. along with other Admin
istration leaders, recommended ex-
Senator Beveridge. AS there is lit
tie prospect that any agricultural
relief can be pushed through by
June z, the Administration turned
to Beveridge.
Passed White House Test.
Beveridge was invited to Wash.
ington, and for two days he re.
manned at the White House as a
special house guest. The President
and his friends subjected him to the
closest scrutiny. 1t is understood he
passed the test.
Spokesman for President Coolidge
have indicated that the nominator
will be a man from the central, or
far west. They prefer a private
citiZen-one who will represent the
voting mass rather than any Fed
eral or State official. Borah, the
Progressive, has failed them, and
they see no one else in public life
who would fill the bill.
Beverage is counted as a pro-
gressive. In 1912 he enlisted under
the standard of Theodore Roosevelt.
His personal appearance is in his
favor, and he has no mean reputa-
ton as an orator. His selection is
assured II the internal differences in
Indian can be overcome.
May Unite Factions.
Rather than provoke the Repub.
lican party in Indiana, it is argued
that Beveridge's selection would
cement the organization in that
State. New Is in the Cabinet, Wat.
son is an ardent supporter Of the

main loyal. With all three in line,
Indiana-split by the Ku Klux Khan
and the imprisonment of Governor
McCary, would seem to be once

lutte Westerner. Brennan has moth
ing against Smith. He likes and
admires Smith. However, If Smith
cannot be nominated, he also likes
and admires Bill Dever, mayor of
Chicago. Why not do something
for Dever? Why not talk with
Brennan?"
Thereupon certain McAdoo fol.
lowers, who have been talking about
"McAdoo and Smith," will begin
also to talk about the possibility Of
"McAdoo and Dever."
Dover Is Irish, but never has been
excessively identified with exclusive

ne does not seem to be confined to
Catholicism. He is about to deliver
the commencement address at
Northwestern University, which is
Methodist.
His vigorous efforts at enforcing
the Volstead law in Chicago have
commended him to multitude of
Protestant drys.
Moreover, he has always been
friendly toward McAdoo. The fol-
lowing argument therefore is al
ready on its way toward appearing:
Give Dever the second place on
the ticket and show he Irish

TAX BILL VETO
DOUBTED BY
LEADERS
Coolidge Has Changed Views,
and Is likely to Accept
Compromise, They Say
BY H. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.

The battle.scarred tax reduction
bill was on Secretary of the
Treasury Melons desk today as
revenue experts under his direc-
ton went about the task of COM
pairing its provisions with the
present law.
The results of their adding and
subtracting and multiplying will
be embodied in a formal report
which Mellon will make to Presi-
dent Coolidge in a day or two.
Then to Congress and the country
the President will be ready to an
nounce whether or not he is will
ing to put his o. K. on a measure

he insisted upon six months ago.

tween the Administration and the
Democrats at the Capitol.

ment pointing out that the legisla.
ton was not altogether to his Xix.
ing. but that he had concluded that
nothing better could be expected
from the Sixty.eighth Congress and
mat he should not stand in the
way of tax reduction.
From the beginning of his Ad-
mlnlstration and at every oppor-
tunity the President has maintained
that most Of the troubles that af.
flict the nation can be traced to
excessive taxation.
He has made tax revision the big
issue between himself and Congress.

iast December that the tax bill was
the most important legislation to be
considered at the present session.
Displeased With Results
The manner in which a host;Ie
congress has seen fit to do the Job
Goes not please the President, his
friends freely stated today, but
they were hopeful that he would
avoid another showdown with Con.
gress by signing the bill, thus end.
ing the great tax battle of 1924.
1t was pointed out that the final
passage OF the compromise bill
showed only fifteen votes in Con.
gress against 1t out Of a total of
6S1-six in the Senate and nine in
the House.
or course, some changes would
take place If the bill should ,be re-
turned unsigned and vote to
override a veto should become
necessary, but leaders Of all fac
tons are more than confident that
the legislation would go through by
a large majority.
Failure Of Congress to sustain
the veto would take place, too, only
three or four days before the con-
vening Of the Republican National
Convention, and the Presidents
POLITICAL advisors feel that another

eve of the opening of the general
campaign would have a bad effect.
For this reason, they are urging

Of the semi-annual tax payment law
and pay one-half of their taxes on
or before November 10th must pay
the entire amount of their Ia ON or

N CLAUS
TO BE AT ELKS
CHRISTMAS

! AS Is Santa Claus usual custom,
he will be at the Elk's hall Christ
mas afternoon in person to greet each
and every child in Rawlins under 16
years of age. He will have his REIN
deers harnessed up to his sled and
will give candy, nuts and fruit to all
the children who come to see him.
1t has always been a great privilege
for the children to see Santa at the
Elk's Hall, for as he is, a generous
and kind-hearted man, the impress
sion of him lasts in the child's mind
from year to year and it is with
eagerness that the children wait for
the afternoon of all afternoons. He
always has enough candy, nuts and
fruit to 30 around to all the children.
This yea he will necessarily need
more than he has had in past years
but with his backing, every child can
be assured that he will get his share.
Santa Claus is more than anxious
to see all the Rawlins children at
