Post Dread of Par

Anxious to cooperate with the
public health officials oC Douglas
county la preventing au epidemic
of the deadly infantile paralysis
here, the American Legion Armis
tice day celebration committee
held a special meeting1 lust night
and decided to abandon plans for
the celebration here on November
11th. Instead of the football game,
street parades, races, etc., the le
gion boys have decided to limit
this year's celebration to an Arm
istice day ball to be held at the
armory Friday night, Nov. 11th.
No children will be allowed at the
dance and every effort will be
made to enforce this ruling.
While Umpqua - Fost -depends
largely upon Armistice day for
funds to carry oa the work of the
ensuing year, the veterans do not
believe it worthwhile to - take a
chance on bringing in outside foot
ball teams and visitors and thus
endanger the local children.
Many plans have been made and
some expense already incurred for
the celebration-but the veterans
are willing to stand the loss, be
lieving that they - are doing the
public a greater service In the
abandonment of the celebration.
The county health officials are
loud in their praise of the action
of the local legion post and declare
that with continued cooperation of
this sort It will probably be pos
sible to fight off the occurrence of
a local epidemic of paralysis. .
The legion desires to thank all
of those who. have already offered
their-services for the day and an
nounces that the 1928 Armistice
clay celebration will be bigger and
better than ever, being the ac
cumulated enthusiasm of two
years. ; s . .

CHICAGO, Oct. 21. Roy L.
Gray of Fort Madison, Lee county,
Iowa America's average man
has come to Chicago for a couple
of days to give the big town the
once over, meet some of the boys,
take a peep, maybe, at the night
life, and find out If Chicago hasn't
a few "average" citizens of her
own.
Gray, who owns a one-man cloth
ing store in . Fort Madison, was
picked as America's "average
man" .In an ingenuous survey of
the country published in - the
American magazine. Iowa was
found to approximate most nearly
the "average" state and Fort Madi
son the "average" city. The folks
in Fort Madison themselves
picked Gray as being most repre
sentative of them all and there
fore as being the average man".
The Chicago Herald and Exam
iner Is host to Gray here. A re
porter for that newspaper went to
Fort Madison yesterday and found
Gray selling an average top coat
to an average fellow townsman. '
. "Suppose you come to Chicago",
said the reporter, "and meet the
people there and give them' a
chance to see what most or them
really look like from the other fel
low's point of view. Mayor Thomp
son is anxious to greet you. The
folks want to hear your voice
which they- must regard as: an
echo of . their - own over the
radio." - ... .
The "average man" had' to :talk
It over with his "average" wife
and children to decide If they
could get along without daddy for
a day or so. Also, thero had to be
found an average clerk to take
care of the store while Gray was
away. , . , , ,
On the train ride to Chicago
with the reporter, Gray smoked
two average cigars and chatted
about subjects of average inter
est. .
"Bill Thompson? Sure, he mnkes
a good mayor for Chicago. But I
don't know about all that talk he
is making over British propaganda
in the schools,"
"Locarno pact? What's that?"
''Walter Johnson there's - a
great hall player for you. Always
plays clean. . ,
"Next president oh, 1 probablv
Charley Hughes. Greatest Ameri
can? Lindbereh. undoubtedly.'
"Mussolini? He's got a good pub
licity man.
"No, Dempsey won't stage any
comebacks. And say. that fight
with Tunney was decided on Its
merits.
"Flappers? Aw, this chatter
about the younger generation go
ing to the bad Is silly. The young
sters are all right.
"Prohibition? Yes and no. You
can't believe everything told you
either by wets or drys. Don't drink
myself, bo am not specially Inter
ested." '
At the Herald and Examiner of?
flee Gray was puzzled as to why a
newspaper should want, his photo
graph. "I thought newspapers printed
only pictures 'of Important people
or great criminals. But no matter.
I'm average enough to enjoy the
thought of seeiug what my face
will look like when It comes out in
print."
He expressed misgivings when
told he had been announced to
make a radio talk.
"Average I know. But what Is
average In a speech?" ,
He was asked what he wanted
to do today.
'Well. I'd like to look some or
the stores over, the stores on
State street and elsewhere."
He was lukewarm toward sug
gestions for night entertainment
the theatres, night clubs.
"No, I guess not, I go to the
movies with the wife at Fort Mad
son now and then and when
there's something good and we've
got a radio just an average one.
"That's about all the entertain
ment 1 crave."

Through geologists, the govern

SILENT 1 7 YEARS

LOS ANGELES. Oct.' 2 1 .
The question of whether
a wife ; who for 1 7 years
never spoke to her husband
was guilty of cruelty, is one
on which Superior Judge
Fletcher Bowron wants time
to ponder before giving a
decision.
James P. Morgan told of
1 7 years silence in testifying
yesterday in his suit for di
vorce from Mary Agnew
Morgan. ' The couple were
married in 1895 and it was
in 1910 Morgan said, tht
his wife suddenly ceased to
speak to him. Each Saturday
morning he would place the
household . money on the
dining room table for her..
"Didn't she ever com
plain, ask for more money,
want clothes, or anything,"
the judge asked incredulous
ly. Morgan assured him his
wife had not.
"Some men would say
you were blessed exceed
ingly fortunate," said Judge
Bowron. "I'll take this under

PAIIIS. OcL 21. L'Ouvre.
French radical newspaper, today
Bays that delegates of the National
Poaaant party of Rumania have ne
gotiated with former Crown Prince
Carol for his return to Rumania
and Ills assumption of the throne.
The possibility of Carol's re
turn, however, is not regarded ser
iously in competent quarters here
as the latest reliable advices from
Iluchareat say that by general con
sent the CarollBt movement is non
existent in Rumania. The luadors of
the Peasant party are said to frank
ly admit that thay are not working
for tho former crown prlnco's re
turn as) such activity is unneces
sary since what they term the mal
administration of Premlor Bratlano
will eventually bring about Carol's
return. Thorofore the Peasant lead
ers are quoted as declaring they
are quite content to lot things
work themselves out.
L'Ouvre, in an article Blgned by
Ilonry Barbe, foreign editor of the
paper, says that the Peasant party
dolegates laid down one condition
that Carol break with the Titian
haired Magda Lupescu, with whom
be eloped nearly two years ago, de
serting his wife. Princess Helen.
Carol accepted this condition. It Is
stated.
Ilarbo says that Carol will enter
his kingdom at tho beginning ot
next year, and that tho congress
of the national peasant party to be
neid at Airaiulla, Rumania, Octo
ber 27, will Ihhuo a pronounce
ment In favor of Carol's return.
Ilarbo adds that Premier Drat-
lano and bis brothor Vintlla, are so
alarmed at the prospect of Carol's
return that they are doing nil in
their power to prevent the congress
from meeting.
Oarbe also relates that Queen
mane wisnes to como to Paris to
see Carol, but Premier Dratlano,
fearing that she might betray him,
exclaimed bluntly: "If you con
tinue to neuter mn with vmi nml.

rooms to discuss action for
recovering payments for ship

Green. pruneB, grown by lo-
cal orchardlflts, were shipped
to the east whore their ac-
coptance was refused. As
there was misunderstanding
whether the brokers took the
fruit on consignment or
bought It, dispute arose when
payment to the growers was
refused. Besides the expect-
ed- loss of crops, the fruit
men are now faced with the
prospect of paying for the
packing and shipping, as is
shown by "liability state-
men's" received in the last
few days by several growers
from the brokers.
