"If you want to help any organiza
tion, help the Salvation Army. It was
while some of ub boys in the Canadian
army, as well as the American and
French boys, were coming out of the
trenches after a fierce fight. Wo were
covered with mud, perspiration rolling
down our faces. Wo vlaited the Salva
tion Army canteen, and were given a
most cordial reception of 'hello boys
what will you have?' We told them,
and were given what we asked for
and some of the boys did not have
enough money. The lassies In charge
or some of the men said, 'well, If you
haven't eno-.igh money take it any
way, you are welcome to It. You are
fighting for your Country, and we are
looking after your Interest."
Mr. Thomas soys every boy from
the Australian to the American, Brit
lHh and French has the greatest re
poet for the Salvation Army. Mr.
Thomas entered the Canadian army at
Vancouver. B. C, when the British
flrat became involved iu the war, and
remained with the Canadian regiment
until he was wounded In the knee,
causing a shattered knoe cap, and he

SALEM, Or., Aug. 15. Unable to
make progress with the mass of fig
ures that have been submitted by
state institutions, state officers and
other organizations having state aid,
the tax commission today adjourned
lis meeting, after setting Friday,
A.igust 23, as the date for another
session. The commission met for the
purpose of attempting to arrive at the
state's needs In excess of the 6 per
cent tax limitation. In the meantime
Tax Commissioner Galloway will total
the amount asked for. Some minor
institutions have not yet reported.
In general it is estimated that the
requests received total upward of
V-0,000,000, or about $3,000,000 in ex
cess of the available revenues for the
next biennlum. Govermor Withy
combe holds out for allowing a 1 mill
tax, if the people are agreeable, at
the next election, which would
amount to about one-third of the ex
cess amount that has been requested.
This would provide about $2,OO0,Q00
for two years of the coming blennium,
but under the law the proposed fund
bill to be Initiated for the November
election can make provision for only
one year.
After a glance at the columns of
figures which filled several pages of
typewritten sheets, Secretary of
Ftate Olcott and State Treasurer Kay
decided that they did not care to at
tempt any definite action today and
held but for an adjourned session.
The University of Oregon ia the

The university places its requirements
at $998,400. Since its resources are
$587,563.34, the estimated amount to

among the proposed improvements are
an armory and a woman's building,
for each of which $100,000 ia asked.
For the latter $100,000 is available

The state fair board has appropriat

composed of two boys and two girls
from each county, who havo scored
the greatest number of points in any

four boys and girls winning the great

Grant B. Dimlck, who distributed
large amount of seed corn to be sown

There is also a special prize for
the potatoes, and the prizes are the

test. .
The county fair commences Sep
tember 17, and will continue for four
days, closing on the evening of Sep
tember 20. There are to be many at
tractions for the four days, and O. !
E. Freytag, secretary, is to offer the
fair visitors this year programs that
will be great drawing cards.
Although there are to be no horse
races this year, the money heretofore
devoted to that attraction will be
used in getting out programs that will
be unique. Among one of the features
will be a Ford Tractor, and another
feature will be a band concert each
afternoon. ' There will be children's
programs and contests.
From present indications one of the
best arranged programs for the fair
will be this year, ind Mr. Freytag Is
to spare no pains in making one that
will long be remembered.
Many poultry fanciers and livestock
