The bill carries the highest pro-
tective tariff rates ever proposed in
the American Congress, but, at the
same time, its sponsors declared,
fully meets President Hoover's in
junction to limit tariff readjust-
ment to emergency conditions and
new industries.

one thing, it took him away from

Sinclair didn't wholly undress. He
removed his shirt and lay down on
his cot with his trousers on. He
sat up frequently throughout the
long night to smoke cigarettes on
the edge of the bunk.

The measure was presented az

written exclusively by the Repub-

The committee adopted coIn'

The program that followed the
dinner was entertaining and enjoyable
all the way through. A piano solo
by Mrs. D. C. McGlothern was the
first musical number of the program
and was followed by vocal selection
by Miss Ethel Woods, entitled,
'When the Harvest Moon is Shining" T"
An original skit by Mrs. E. M.

ORGANIZE TO COMPETE
WITH CHAIN STORES

The White Bluffs Trading COM
pany store has recently affiliated
with the United Purity Stores, an
organization of about 1900 retail ard
wholesale stores in Montana, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and California.
The purpose Of the organization il
to meet the competition of the chain
stores prices through united buying
from the manufacturers and to pass
on this saving to the consumers. r. S.
Reierson, owner and manager Of the
White Bluffs Trading company store,
says that through the united buying
of the organization a considerable
saving can be made on many articles.
A part of the plans provide for
special sales on. specified. articles
every Friday and Saturday, the same
articles being offered in all stores
in the group and the prices the same
in every store in the four states at-
filiated with the organization.
All stores in the group retain their
independence as formerly but are
associated for buying and method; Of
selling.
One advantage to the buying public
of this group over the chain stores
is that that they permit 80 days credit
while the chain stores, as rule, sell
for cash. Each store in the group,
however, must pay its wholesale
accounts every Is days, so that each
must keep its own accounts fairly
well collected all the time to MAIN
tain its standing in the group and
to have operating capital.
The distributing point for the
White Bluffs store is at Yakima.
