culum OF years gone by and the modi-
fed system Of today. On these points
he carefully explained that the parent
could have better understanding so
that he could help the student out of
school as well as he could in school
He said it was the pride of his life to
scan the graduating lists of years past
and know that men in every state in
the Union have become constructive
citizens, the foundation of which was
built by knowledge gained in the school
Of which he has been the head for
many years. At the close of his adj
dress he thanked the audience for their
united attention and for the oppor-
tunity of having been part of the
community effort.
Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The
Broad AK, who has been personally
acquainted with Senator Charles S.
Deneen for more than twenty-five
years, in his Introductory remarks he
traced the Deneen ancestry back as a
part Of the citizenship Of Illinois for
one hundred and twelve years. He
told Of endeavoring to advance his
political career from the time that the
Senator was member of the Illinois
Legislature and Of his fairness on all
measures pertaining to our group, then
followed his position as attorney for
the drainage board in the early exist
ence Of the board, his legal ability
shown there made deep impression
upon the political powers Of the time,
then to the States Attorneys office
and his proud record of having ap-
pointed the first colored lawyer as as
sistant States Attorney in the person
Of Hon F. L. Barnett, in 1896.
During the Springfield riots, 1908,
when thousands Of dollars Of property
were destroyed in the district occupied
by our group, how he Immediately
summoned six regiments to aid and
abate the ri,ts and to bring to justice
the violators of the law; how he had
caused to be put on the statute books
Of Illinois the law making counties and
municipalities responsible Tor damages
done to life and property, and that he
removed Sheriff Davis Of Alexander
county from office because he
had permitted a mob of white
men to mob a colored prisoner; how,
when defeated for governor in 1912 his
publication suggested him for United
States Senator and continued until he
was elected in 1924 Mr.. Taylor then.
II burst Of eloquence, nominated
Senator Charles s. Deneen for the
worth successor Of President Calvin

Through unique and unusual adver-
Using features, Price e. Lincoln have
built up their business from bank
rupt stock to one that is bringing
them in approximately $4,000 an
nually-and this in three years. In
1921, Mr.. Price and F. H. Lincoln
bought the remains Of a bankrupt
cooperative organization that had
lost money for hundreds of people.
Feeling was strong against the store
and many farmers vowed never to en-
ter the building again, but these two
enterprising men felt confident that
they could overcome this bitterness
by fair dealing, advertising, and low
prices.
They started by getting out the
Price & Lincoln Dope Sheet which
covers the entire back page of the
Kennewick Courier-Reporter each
week. This page is given over to bits
of news about the town, jokes, local
poetry, prices and specials for the
week-all sorts of chatty, chummy
stuff that makes them part of their

was published. A spotted pony, two
good saddles, photograph with IL
records, a bunch of Ancona laying
hens, a Viking separator-all sorts
of things were brought in for the
sale. Other stores in the town were
asked to cooperate and bring in goods
from their stocks and hardware
store, pharmacy, tire shop, and others
RESPONDED with considerable merchan-
disc to be auctioned off. Price and
Lincoln themselves offered various
things in the grocery line-flour, lard,
breakfast foods. canned goods, etc.
Altogether there was a goodly show
ing of commodities and everyone was
enthusiastic and interested in the
outcome. Said the Kennewick Cour-
ier-Reporter, "The public auction held
Saturday afternoon at the rear of
the Price & Lincoln store attracted
one of the biggest crowds ever seen
at a similar event in Kennewick."
"At least three hundred dollars
worth of merchandise changed hands
during the SALE" said Mr.. Price, "and
people started that very day listing
things for the next SALE"
1t is good advertising for the store,
certainly. 1t gets the name of Price

pay cash and then they prove it to

In combating mail order house
competition, the store advertised that
if any person would make out list

it in, the store would meet the prices.

charm, Mr.. Price reported, and many
persons were surprised to find that

amount that was really considerable,
especially when the freight or express
was counted out. The store owners
had, of course, studied over the pric-

made the statement and they knew
that they would not lose money, but
gain friends.
