STATE PAVING PLAN INDORSED BY MANY CONTESTANTS WHO TOOK PART IN COMPETITIVE SPELLING MATCH AT COUNTY SCHOOL GRADUA 60,000 BOND SALES TyyTTTTTTrrrr TION EXERCISES YESTERDAY. Ifl STATE EXPECTED Reasons Why We Think You Should Buy Your Big Corporations May Take Announcement of Policy Made by Highway Commission Cre ates Friends for Bond Issue. Victrola and Records Here $1,000,000 Blocks; Each Person Asked to Buy. 20 BIG MEN EXPRESS VIEWS Paving Companies Will Be Obliged to Submit " Bids at Legitimate Profit or Lose Work, Is General Opinion. iirtnouncement by the State High way Commission of its decision to buy one or more paving- plants and do its own paving unless satisfactory bids are submitted by contractors, has re ceived the indorsement of people in all sections of the state. Judging from the many letters on the subject that have reached good roads headquarters in the Selling building, it is uniformly the opinion of the authors of these letters that the adoption of this pol icy by the commission has greatly stimulated sentiment in favor of the bonds. "Tv nrinntlnir this policy the High way Commission has removed the chief objection that has been urged by the opponents of the road bond bill." said Bruce Dennis, executive secretary of the Legislative good roads committee, yesterday. "Application of the an nminr.ed nolicv of the commission leaves the opponents of the road bond measure, who would defeat the bonds by instilling the suspicion that the state would be robbed by the paving companies, without a leg to stand on. Prominent Men Urnrtllr Approve. Governor Withycombe. County Judge Bushev. of Marion County; County TnriD-o tcirknatrick. of Polk County State Senator Vinton, of Yamhill County; State Senator Garland, of Linn Countv: State Representative Fuller. of Polk County. and State Senator Wood, of Washington County, are in eluded amone those who have given their hearty approval of the announced nolicv of the commission. Th followine are excerpts from some of the many letters on the sub 1ect that have reached good roads headquarters: Governor Withycombe: "My confl dence In the integrity and business ability of the commission is absolute and I know that they will give us one hundred per cent efficiency for all public money expended for highway construction William M. Bushey. County Judge, Marion County: "I believe that this is the proper policy to pursue and the voters should fully understand that this policy is to be carried out. The state will be greatly benefited thereby.' W. T. Vinton, State Senator; Yamhill County: "Even though the plants are not used, it will tend to force the con tractors to submit bids at such prices as would only give them a legitimate profit." Samuel L. Garland, State Senator, Linn County: "This policy, in my opin ion, removes the only argument against the road bond bill. Bids Will Be Close to Coat. W. V. Fuller. State Representative "Polkj County: "This policy will enable the commission to get bids from the paving companies very close to actual cost." W. D. Wood, State Senator, Washing ton County: "Even though they were never used the ownership of these pav ing plants by the state would no doubt have a potential power in securing bet ter bids upon any public work. This position of the commission should be taken as a sufficient guarantee that the state is to get value received for each dollar expended." N. N. Blumensaadt, Rainier: "The Highway Commission have shown that they are loaded with good Judgment and common horse-sense." O. D. Teel, Echo: "The proposal of the Commission to buy its own pav ing plants meets with my approval." People Strong, for Thin Policy. Dr. J. W. Donnelly, Arlington: "The people of my section of the state are strong for the policy of the commis sion." Dr. C. H. Chapman, Portland: "The adoption of this policy will reassure the public upon a point where there has been some question. I am of the opinion that the state can in many cases do its own paving economically and when it can do so it should not permit private interests to stand in the way of the public good." H. J. Overturff, manager Bend Com mercial Club: "This policy will have a most beneficial effect on the honest opponents of the bonds and drive the poison gas artists to the trouble of getting a new supply of negative ar guments." H. R. Morris, secretary Newberg Commercial Club: "Our organization most heartily Indorses the commission's plan. Arguments Are Refuted. . J. K. McGregor, Mosier: "The de cision of the commission should have the effect of refuting the argument of the road bond opponents that the meas ure is designed for the benefit of the paving companies. E. J. Jaeger, Portland: "The action or the commission ought to Insure ron- fldence that all work will be done at tne lowest possible figure. I can assure you that as a property holder and tax- payer I am greatly interested in the road bond measure and trust It will pass Dy an overwhelming maioritv. E. C. Kirkpatrick, County Judge Pollc County: "It is certainly the only thing for the commission to do. It will keep ine blading contractors to a level consistent with efficiency and cnH material. It matters not if the paving plants are never used. It will have the effect most desired. It is as necessary aunuujuLiun to tne Army. Aberdeen Resurvey to Begin. ABERDEEN". Wash.. May 26. (Spe cial.)

"Campus day" the first ever held by a Portland high school was observed with activities of a utilitarian nature Wednesday when the 1100 and more Franklin students, with ax, shovel and J rake, cleaned the large expanse aroiind tne scnooi or an ruDDisn, orusu anu trash, and when the practical fun was over concluded with an lnter-class track meet and dance. S. F. Ball, principal, was in general charge, and his first lieutenant was George Dewey, who. In normal times. is the athletic coach. Coach Dewey organized squads and put boys and girls through clean-up skirmishes that left the large area surrounding the school spick and span when noon came. There was no school all day, and after a picnic dinner the athletes turned their energies to a programme in the stadium while the others looked on. The grand finale to the day's good work was the dance. "Sopna" Defeat "Alllea." The sophomores won the grand prize of the day In the clean-up contest. The class numbers 200, and the members were under the leadership of "Wardy" Kearns and supervised by the Misses Betz and Labor.

All the other classes united forces in an effort to displace it. but the "allies," under Art Mc Kenzie, after a 30-mlnute struggle, were ordered to recede anl the victory given to the sophomores by Principal Ball. The flag rush was staged with all the thrills of a regular college event. The sophomores presented an Invincible front, and the united other three classes of the school more than 850 strong hit the "sophs' " line time and again In an effort to break it and lower the banner. "Pudge" Brown. Mc Kenzie. Powell and Read and other huskies of the school led the attack against the forces captained by New ton, McCormlck and Fulton, but with out result. Track Events Exciting.

SMALL DEALS PREFERRED Sleeting Called at Chamber for Tuesday Xight to Arouse Interest. Carl S. Kclty "Will Tonr State In Selling Campaign. Oregon is expected to produce at least 60.000 individual subscribers to the liberty loan. Subscriptions are expected to range from $50 to $100,000 each. In the case of rich corporations It would not be sur prising to see some $1,000,000 sub scriptions. But the clearing-house committee in charge of the campaign is eager to have the bonds distributed among the maximum number of Individuals. It is obviously more Important for the suc cessful conduct of the war to obtain 100 subscribers of $50 each than 10 subscribers of $500 each. To arouse the widest possible inter est in the loan. Emery Olmstead, chair man of the clearing-house committee. on distribution, has called a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce for 8 o'clock next Tuesday night. A. L. Mills Will Speak. A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank, and C. A. Miller, rep resenting the Federal Reserve Bank at San Francisco, will address the meet ing. Mr. Olmstead is extending special in vitations to all employers In Portland to attend the meeting. It Is presumed that some steps will be taken whereby the employers will buy bonds In large blocks and enable employes to pay for them on the Installment plan. Many large employers already have made such arrangements, including the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railways, the American Express Com pany and Wells, Fargo & Company Express. A. H. Peterson, general agent for Wells. Fargo & Company, was advised yesterday that the company will per mit Its employes to buy bonds on the credit of the company with permission to distribute the payments over a pe riod of a year. The Tillamook Lodge No. 1260. of the Loyal Order of Moose, lias subscribed for a $1000 bond. Aid of Banks Is Sought. The local committee's headquarters In the Northwestern National Bank building has circularized all the coun- ry banks in the state in the expecta tion of gaining their active aid In the ampaign. Replies began coming back yesterday and show that the people in the rural districts are becoming thoroughly aroused to their patriotic duty of investing in liberty bonds. One man inquired at tne f irst na tional Bank yesterday about the pro- edure necessary to subscribe for $150.- 000 worth of bonds. He may make for mal application this week. Application was made at the North western National yesterday for an In dividual subscription of $100,000. Carl S. Kelty to Tour. Carl S. Kelty, treasurer of the Lum- bermens Trust Company, will leave to morrow on a tour of the state in the interest of the selling campaign. Mr. Kelty will visit Salem, Eugene, Albany, Corvallls and McMlnnvIlle with in the next few days, advising with the local organizations already formed in those cities for the disposal of lib erty bonds and distributing literature. The week following he will campaign in other districts of the state. The situation simmers down to the fact that these bonds must be sold, or the money needed by the Government will be raised by taxation. said Mr. Kelty. In a communication addressed to the Portland banks yesterday Secretary Mc- Adoo. of the Treasury Department, es timated that there are 10,000,000 Indi viduals and corporations in the United States who are able to make subscrip tions to the new liberty loan in amounts ranging from $100 to $100, 000,000 each. This estimate, says the communi cation, "is conservative when, we con sider that there are mor. than 40,000,- 000 persons engaged in profitable oc cupations in this country besides the large number of men and women whose income Is derived from their , invest ments. If . every individual In the United States should subscribe to the new bonds to the extent of only 6 per cent of his or her total possessions the loan would be subscribed six times over."

Teon addressed a large meet ing of employes at the Peninsula Ship building plant at noon yesterday on the merits of the $6,000,000 road bond ispue.

KEASEY TALKS Wife of Realtor Testifies in Divorce Case. FORGIVENESS OFTEN ASKED Chauffeur Relates In Court Stories of Joyrldes With Ills Employer and Women Telegrams Are in Evidence. "One evening before Dorr started for California he came to me and pleaded that I take him back. He cried and begged until I finally agreed to give him another chance. And then, at his request, we got down on our- knees and pledged ourselves before God to live together In happiness. To me it was a most sacred moment. The next day. however. I learned that he had telegraphed to a young woman living in Oakland to met him upon his arrival there, and he received an answering telegram that she would be there." This Is but one incident in the life of Lorr E. Keasey. prominent Port land real estate dealer, as related by Mrs. Evalyn Keasey. in testifying yes terday before Circuit Judge Tucker in support of her answer and cross- complaint asking for a divorce. It was many months, testiiied . f. Jensen, employed by the Keaseys as chauffeur for six years, before he knew who Mrs. Keasey really was. Mr. Keasey. he said, took so many women on Joy rides that he never knew whether he waa with his wife or with some other woman. Jensen further testified concerning a "Joy ride" taken by Keasey with another man and three women to "jascaae. mere were iwo nights of wild hilarity, he testified. and Keasey became angry at Jensen because ha would not join in tne les tlvltles.

"I found, however, that he was go ing to see this other woman a few months after we were married," said Mrs. Keasey. Mrs. Keasey told of several instances wherein Mr. Keasey had admitted his Infidelity and had asked forgiveness. She said at one time that he was sup porting some woman who came to Portland from California, and at an other time entertained women on their houseboat. Telegram In Evidence. In order to bear out her testimony, Mrs. Keasey produced in court numer ous telegrams and letters alleged to have been received by her husband from other women. The telgram pur porting to come from the woman In Oakland was shown to Judge Tucker during the hearing. There have been several times during their married life that they have sepa rated, said Mrs. Keasey, but the final straw came when her husband told her that he had ceased to love her as a wife. "He came to my room one morning and told me of how when a boy he would awaken in the night and cry at the thought of his mother dying some day." she testified. "He then told me that his love for me was the same as that for hi mother. It was a mother love, he said, and not the love that a man would have for his wife. Such an Idea was so repulsive to me that I told him that we could not live together any longer." Mr. Keasey, it was announced In. court, would not contest his wife's fight for a divorce decree. Following the hearing yesterday Judge Tucker took the ca.e under advisement. Cow Creek Man Arrested. ROSEBURG. Or.. May 26. (Special.)
