LINCOLN LEADS COUNTIES fcdgar Piper Jr. Asserts State Fully Alive to Importance of Memo rial to Great Leader. from El Paso, Tex., realizing: some thins was wrong, asked her: "Have you taken poison?" She replied, ne says, that she had not, but almost In that instant the poison showed its effect. He says, he induced her to drink a pitcher of warm, water as an emetic. "I was losing my husband's love to another woman," she told hospital attaches. Seen later at the hotel, Douglas de clared his wife had no cause for jealousy. "The woman she refers to is the very dear friend of a brother lodge member." he explained. "Everybody knows a lodge man would no, at tempt to make love to his lodge brother's lady friend. My wife is ex tremely jealous. She has been babied all her life. Twice before she has tried to end It all." WEE WAR WORKER HERE GIRL STAR AT HIPPODROME HAS REMARKABLE RECORD. Strong conviction that Oregon can and will perform its duty in full measure along with the remaining sisterhood of states in the Roosevelt memorial movement, was expressed at campaign headquarters yesterday by Edgar Piper Jr., campaign di rector, who has just returned from a survey of the work in several out Bide counties. "We have demonstrated to our sat isfaction that the American people feel this thing in their hearts." said Director Piper yesterday. "Wherever there has been an adequate oppor tunity for people to subscribe, the results were almost automatic "Wherever the preparations were not complete to the necessary degree, the result has cast an unjustified re flection on the standing of Theodore Roosevelt as a man. Lincoln Leads Comities. "Perhaps the leader among the counties is Lincoln county, where the subscriptions are nearly 70 per cent above the quota. In Benton county practically the complete quota came jn dollar subscriptions which were 100 per cent voluntary. Hood River county is over-subscribed, and very few subscriptions are over a dollar. "The people of Linn county showed Bs they did not wish to see their standing lowered, and we are in formed that their worU has been ac complished. I have lately been in Marion and Yamhill counties and have held conferences with people who do not think the showing for these two communities up to the present time is fairly representative. A. strong hacking for the movement is being organized to continue the work, and I think that in both cases we shall prove our contention that all of Oregon is anxious to honor the memory of an American whose per formance of rilitv was lin fa il inff." Oregon's Quota in Sight. Director Piper further expressed t the belief, as a result of his trip about the several counties, that the people of Oregon will complete their allotted quota within the next few days, and reports from all parts of the state inuicate that the citizens ivdo not intend that Oregon shall longer be laggard in paying tribute to the memory of Theodore Roose--velt. Telegraphic reports from east of the mountains detailing further suc cesses of local workers brought a new light of hope at state headquarters in the Elks building, and the belief . was expressed that the Portland of fice would soon be able to close its doors and announce to national head quarters that the people of Oregon have played their part in helping to honor for all time the name and memory of Theodore Roosevelt. "We are determined that this state shall subscribe its complete quota and we do not intend closing the cam . paign until tnis nas been accom- ; plished," said one of the officials at the state headquarters yesterday. i "However, with the hopeful results ! now being received, and because of i the added interest which has been aroused because of Mr. Piper's visit to several of the counties, we have i every reason to feel assured that the complete amount will coon be pro cured.

HINDMAN MAKES REPORT Portland's Delegate Declares Cali- fornians Ruled Session- Without Getting Satisfactory Results. Instead of formulating measures which might cause some reduction in the high cost of living. California politicians who attended the coast mayors' conference held at Sacra mento recently yelled "profiteer" and passed the burden ot remedying con ditions to the California legislature. This statement was made yesterday in a report filed with Mayor Baker by Charles C. Hindman, who repre sented the Portland executive at this conference. Because of the non-attendance of Oregon and Washington delegates. Mr. Hindman reports, that the con ference was soon dominated by the representatives from California cities and was somewhat overshadowed by the special . session of the California legislature which was to 'convene on November 1. Legislative Session Asked. "The mayors and representatives of California cities," reported Mr. Hindman "dealt with the high cost of living as a local question to be solved by local legislation, and under the leadership- of Supervisor Nelson, rep resenting Mayor Rolph of San Fran cisco, passed the question to Gover nor Stephens and the legislature of California, by petitioning the gover nor to call an extraordinary session ! of the legislature to convene at the conclusion of the present special ses "The object of the petition for the 1 extraordinary session was the enact ment of anti-trust laws and other legislation directed against profiteers and price-fixing agreements. "Had the conference attributed to some extent at least,' the present high costs to the world's scarcity of all commodities, due to underproduction for the past five years in all the countries of Europe and recommended measures to stimulate production and prohibit those things which make for lessened production and consequent high prices, I would consider that the conference had taken a step in the right direction. However this was not done. Vote-Getting: Scheme Charged. "It is popular to tell the people that they are the victims of prof iteers, and as a vote-getting scheme, the California politicians thought it unsurpassed." Mr. Hindman presented the three following recommendations to the conference, but none of them were given any consideration: "First. Strict regulation of all ex portation of the necessities of life and a complete discontinuance of such exportation if the necessities of this country require such a meas ure. "Second. Such legislation against profiteers, price-fixing, and the cold storage of foodstuff as will insure the free and unrestricted operation of the law of supply and demand upon the prices of all commodities. "Third: Legislation regulating the relationship of the employer and the labor unions and the abolition of the strike, with its consequent lessening of production "and raising of prices, as a means of forcing labor's demands."

No up-to-date woman bakes any more. That form of household slavery went out of style with hoop-skirts and the spinning wheel, and the "woman's place is home" nonsense. If you know any woman who bakes, for pity's sake preach the gospel of woman's emancipation, and help her grow. She isn't helping herself or her husband or her family. She is just taking up room in the kitchen and going to seed. Tell her she is wasting money and wasting youth. Then send her to her nearest good grocer's for a loaf of WRIGHT'S AMERICAM-MAID BREAD "American-Maid" is the new delicious bread that has won its way into the American Home, through sheer merit alone.
