ned salmon can best be capitalized on by persuading grocers to push canned salmon during the Lenten period This contest is designed to secure a maximum of retailer CO., operation with the Canned Salmon Industry in selling it's product to consumers. Buschmann said
 Grand prize in the contest will be S750 with two other grocers each receiving $250 for outstanding dis plays in their division. The contest is divided into three groups accord ing to size of the display entered All entrants will have an equal chance to win the grand prize, Buschmann said.

Beware Coughs
 from common colds
 That Hang On

No matter how many medicines you have tried for your common cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri- tation, you may get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids nature to soothe and heal the infiamed mucous membranes and to loosen and expel germ laden phlegm.
 Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, try Creomul- sion. Your druggist is authorized to refund your money if you are not thoroughly satisfied with the bene- fits obtained. Creomulsion is one word, ask for it plainly, see that the name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and you'll get the genuine product and the relief you want. (Adv)

Aldska's 5 Canned Salmon Campaign to Be Stdrt-

SEATTLE, Dec 28.-The biggest merchandising contest ever launched on behalf of Alaska's Canned Sal mon will be the feature of the early spring campaign to promote the sale of this product, August Buschmann, chairman of the Canned Salmon Industry advertising committee, an- nounced today following a meeting of the committee in Seattle.
 The contest, which Buschmann declared was believed to be the largest merchandising contest for grocers to be carried on in the coun- try during early 1889, will run from February 9 to April g. A total of $50 cash prizes will be awarded grocers for outstanding displays of canned salmon in retail stores.
 Modern merchandising practice demonstrates that foods well dis played sell rapidly. We believe that at this time, the cumulative effect of our national advertising on can

OFFICIAL NAH PRESS SAYS
NO NATURAL DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN u. SAND GERMANY
General Tenor of Nation in
Reaction to Welles' Reply
Said Indicated

BERLIN, Dec. "a. (UP)-The
tenor of official German reaction
to the reply of Sumner Welles,
U. S. assistant secretary of state,
to German protest against the
Cleveland speech of Harold L.
Ickes was indicated today in the
official Nazi party organ, Voel-
kischer Beobachter.
The newspaper, without men,
tioning Welles specifically, main
tanned that German press criti-
cism of the United States has
merely been in reciprocation
against attacks from across the
Atlantic and added that there
exist "no natural differences be-
tween Germany and the United
States"
The Beobachter editorial, while
strongly phrased, dealt less with
personalities than other recent
press comment here.
In reference to the crisp state
ment Of Senator Key Pittman of
the U. S. senate foreign relations
committee that the American peo-
pie do not like Nazism, Beobach-
ter said:
eff we answered this newest
provocation by voicing the obvi-
ously justified opinion that the
gentlemen in Washington have
ample reason to poke their fin
gers into their own moral cess
pool, they probably would again
whine that they had been attack
ed. Even the Impairment Ickes
speech was followed by the asser-
ton that the German press had
attacked Roosevelt and even Will
son. Four points made by the Of
ficial Nazi organ were:
"The National Socialist press
in Germany abstained from any
attacks on United States person
alities and institutions until late
in 1938-not because we wanted
to please Americans or win their
sympathies, but remembering the
