! HOT SAOT !S HANDED WARD s,
 OPENING ST0RE
4 HOT BOUQUET" IS HANDED CHAIN STORE BY MERCHANT
 IN SARDONIC GREETING
Pacific Northwest Retailer)

<
 In lieu of the customary basket of flowers, the Streeter's Shoe Store greeting upon the opening of the Montgomery Ward store in Clare more, Okla, took the form of an advertisement in a local paper. Couched in more or less irony and sarcasm, the test makes amusing reading Here 1t is:
 WELCOME WARDS"
 We extend a hearty welcome to Montgomery Ward & Co.'s new store as calamity to the local re- tail stores.
 Not being members of either the Juveniles or the SenileS we are free to express our personal opinions and we are sincerely glad to wei come Wards new retail store.
 For years, Wards and other mail order houses have spent mil lions trying to convince the public that retail stores were too expen- sive a method of selling merchan- disc. Now. the fact that Ward IS establishing hundreds of. retail stores stamps their former claims as absolutely false.
 They now propose to establish a retail store in every county seat' and if the Wall street bankers can find suckers enuff to buy WardS stock (now worth 54 cents on the sD they will have Ward store III each county seat.
 CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
 They figure that because of the oood roads that we have built (and no mail order house ever pald dollars tax to build these roadS) they can draw the trade to thelr central store, wipe out the local dealers in the small towns, secure z large volume of business ana m sure large profits to the Wall street owners.
 Possibly it may work out thaV vay, but the chain store may be as unsound in theory and as unprofl- table in operation as the mail order business.
 At any rate We welcome them to OUT city for many reasons
 First. because they give employ ment to many people, and we are 5n favor of any payroll, even Ward
 Second, we welcome them be- cause now they will have to pay taxes on the same basis as the rest Of us merchants (something they never had to do before).
 Third, we welcome them because raey will be large advertisers and
Seward daily gateway., 1930-06-20

Fifth, we welcome Ward because he has now placed his merchandise where people can examine it and compare values We are firmly convinced that no chain store with their multiplied overhead expenses and the necessity of paying divid- ends to Wall street can sell mer- chandise as cheaply as a store well managed by it's owner.
 We are glad to be where people can compare our style, quality and price with Ward'si.

Stay of Execution
Shocks Last Hope

COLUMBUS. Feb. 26-tRl-Re-
fused an application for a review
by the United States Supreme court,
attorneys for James Howard Shook
turned today to Governor Myer
Cooper in their battle to save the
49-year-old former professor from
death in the electric chair next Fri
day.
Decision to ask Governor Cooper
TO grant a stay OF execution was an
nounced after the highest tribunal
had declined TO admit the case.
Should the Governor grant the re-
guest. the board OF clemency then
will be asked TO review the con-
viction of Shook for numbering
Theora x. Xix IN the hope that the
board will recommend that the
death sentence be committed TO life
imprisonment.
The governor has indicated he
will leave the case entirely in the
hands Of the board and will abide
by its recommendation.
A scheduled conference OF Gov
ernor Cooper and attorneys for
Shook was postponed until tomor-
70. when the entire case will be
presented to the governor and the
board of clemency.

ROTARY TOLD
OF PROGRESS
Californian Addresses Club
On Mental Attitudes
Part in Success

Progress was the keynote OF the
Rotary club meeting Wednesday
noon, when Howard Peak, Los An
geles, as speaker OF the day told
OF the influence Of mental attitude
OF a man on his business success.
Mr.. Peak, who has addressed a
number Of luncheon clubs in the
city within the past few days,
particularly stressed three outstand-
ing thoughts to put over his point.
These we're: that the average
man uses about one-tenth Of the
mentality Of which he Is capable;
that there is no panacea for sue
cess without hard work; and that
one cannot antagonize and at the
same time influence people.
He might be said 10 have sum
med up the idea he brought IN
words found in a poem he recited
TO the effect that it is the set OF
the sail and not the wind and sea
that determines the curse Of a
ship. and the set Of the soul shat
determines the way OF a man.
A. Wayne Wood called attention
to the queen contest. which Is be-
ing staged for the benefit Of the
MatamorOs hospital and called upon
Rotary club members TO back their
candidate. Miss Gail McDavitt. by
contributing as they went out.

ed more elated over their pyramid
than they would have had their
game bags shown a wide variety Of

In Dense Jungle
The pyramid, 80 feet high, Is To-
Gated in a dense jungle on top OF
mesa on the Martinez hacienda
near the town Of IXhuatlan, Vera

II was reached after a six hours
Journey by horse and foot from the
base established on Llano de En-
medic. They went to the hacien-
da via airplane last Saturday and
returned to Brownsville Tuesday.
Natives told the explorers OF
the ruins of an old church on top
of the mesa. This was located with
comparative ease. They had never
heard Of the pyramid. however,
only 200 yards from the ruins. The
jungle is so thick. Philen said. that
they had to cut their way through.
There were hundreds Of burial
mounds, some as high as 20 feet.
on the mesa. said Willy.
Paved Road
Before landing the party saw a
paved road, made of rock. stretch
ing eight miles across the mesa.
This, it developed. vas known 10
the natives although they did not
know that the pyramid vas at one
end Of the well-preserved highway
of bygone days.
The pyramid is made OF baSalt
rock.
Drayton, a pilot. will report the
discovery to the Mexican govern
ment when he flies TO the capital
Thursday. In addition 1t is likely
that an exploration party will be
interested, either Mexican or
American, to delve further into this
evidence of a civilization which
would have been ancient to Column

A fender sliced one OF the men
