of their vast number of acquaintances.

A WORD FOR MOTHERS
It is a grave mistake for mothers to ueg
lect their aches and piUns and suffer Fu
silence this ouly leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work Is tiring; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should kuow that Scott's
fimulsiou overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses In concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
Scott' is strengthening thousands of
mothers and will help you. No alcohol.

neighborhood! One neighbor reports
diging 42 potatoes from a single hill,
over half of them being big enough to
use.
Postmaster-General Burleson went
fishing lately and caught 35 fish which
he says will be the exact number of
states carried by Wilson this fall at
the election. He says so because he
hopes so. With the labor vote almost
solid for Wilson, he stands an excel
lent chance for re-election at this
writing, although all that money can
do to beat himwill be done.
There isn't much difference if any
between a progresive republican
like LaFollette, Poindexter, or Hiram
Johnson and a progressive democrat
like Reed of Missouri, J. Ham. Lewis
of Illinois, et. al. By the same "token
the progressive republicans seem to
be winning out at the primaries.
The fire across the river, near Mar
mot, which was set to get rid of a
brush pile, got beyond control and

PRISONER FOUR MONTHS
John Joseph, Russian, Steals Chick
en, CosU County $100
John Joseph was a starving Rus
sian, unacquainted with English and
a stranger in Clackamas county. John
couldn t ask the good farmers of the
county for food because he could not
speak English. Therefore, he was
forced to get-food in the best manner
he could. John stole a small hen from
a farmer near Estacada and cooked
the fowl to provide food that he might
live. One of the sacred and righteous
upholders of the law and dignity of
the comunity arrested John and on
May 23 he was committed to jail,
and bound over to the grand jury by
the Lstacada justice of the peace.
bince May 23. John Joseih has been
a guest of the county, awaiting a ses
sion of the grand jury that this aug
ust body might tell to its own satis
faction whether or not he had stolen
the chicken. To interpreters John ad
mitted that he had taken the fowl and
said he was willing to work a week
for the farmer from whom he had
stolen it. But the grand jury wanted
John because an Estacada justice had
decided that John should go to the
grand jury.
The jury has not had a session since
the date of John's incarceration and
the poor Russian languishes J)ehtnd
the bars. Figuring reasonable costs
for food and incidentals John has cost
the taxpayers of Clackamas county at
least $100 since he was jailed. The
chicken that he appropriated could
have been purchased on any market
for less than 50 cents.
John must remain under the grac
ious and hospitable roof of Clackamas
county until the grand jury says he
is guilty or innocent. He is a com
fortable but expensive guest. And he

with a view of releasing the man if

RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED
Granges and Commercial Bodies Ask
ed to Act Against Bill
Resolutions have been submitted to
all commercial bodies and granges in
the state asking for their co-operative
support in defeating the people's land
and loan law, which is labelled a "vis
ionary but dangerous scheme." C. C.
Chapman of Portland is father of the
resolution and has taken it upon him
self to forward it generally through
out the state. ,
The resolution follows:
Whereas, the so-called People's
Land and Loan Law, if adopted by
popular vote in Noveiriber, would be
come part of the Constitution of Ore
gon, and
Whereas, it would make all farm
owners and home-owners mere tenants
of the state, possessed of empty titles
and burdened with the obligation of
paying each year the full rental val
ue of their houses and lands into the
public treasury, and
Whereas, by its provisions for loan
ing $1500 cash without interest for
five pears to anyone who with family
has failed to accumulate property of
the total value of $2250, it penalizes
thrift and puts a premium upon shift
lessness and extravagance at taxpay
ers' expense, therefore be it
Resolved, that we urge our mem
bership and all other intelligent citi
zens to give attention to the revolu
tionary proposals of this radical meas
ure, so it may be voted down by so
large a majority that the promoters
of this single tax legislation may be
brought to realize the futility of en
cumbering the ballot with their vis
ionary but dangerous schemes at
every general election.
BAD MAN TAKES GOOD BOOK
County Jail Testament Takeirby Dumb
Prisoner. Starts Around World
When Pete Peterson, mysterious
Scandinavian and silent as the halls
of death, sallied forth fro.m the county
jail on Thursday evening after being
confined there for three days while
his sanity was tested, he had under
his arm the gospel of St. John, treas
ured possession of the jail for several
months. Pete got away with the good
book just as he got away with sev
eral very good meals. No one seemed
to know just how he did it but he did.
Peterson, who nodded ability to
speak English and Scandinavian, did
not utter a word to any person during
the three days of his incarceration.
He refused absolutely to talk although
Dr. J. W. Norris could find no phys
ical reason for the lack of speech.
Peterson simply nodded his head to
those who spoke to him and admitted
that he could talk if he wanted to.
Officials asked Pete where he was
going when he left the jail. Before
taking up a southward trail tho silent
one described a circle with his finger
on the jail floor to indicate that ho was
en route "around the world." He was
most unkempt when he was taken into
custody, but found the jail bath tub a
rare delight. He took several baths
each day.
Later Peterson was arrested at Sa
lem and committed to the state insane
asylum. ,
