FAIR LOTTERY NOT

M0RALV WRONG ADMITTED
Mr. Evans Stands Ready to Issue
Complaint if Someone Wishes
'to Become "Goat,",, He Says.
District Attorney Walter IL Evans,
explaining this morning when a lot
tery Is not a lottery, says that the ac
tivities ' of the Multnomah. County
Fair association In giving away an
automobile as a prifce to the holder
of the lucky 10-cent itlcket do not
come within the law.
MfY Evans says the scheme is "wrong"
and -that he will give anyone who ob
jects' to' its being carried out or having
been; carried out a complaint if such
person will come forward and ask him
to do so. But, he explains, there was
a decision by the federal court back
about the time of the Buffalo expo
sition which told when a lottery was
mot-, a lottery and that, judging from
that decision, the practices of the Mult
nomah County Fair association do not,
in his belief, constitute an infraction
of the statute, though they are a little
Strong when viewed from the moral
angle.
BUFFALO DECISION BECALLEB
Back in history. Mr. Evans says, the
management of the Buffalo exposition
offered a prise of $15,000 or thereabouts,
to the lucky person who was to make
the most nearly correct guess of the
number of persons who attended the ex
position. The officials were haled into
the federal court for maintaining a lot
tery. Mr. Evans says, and the court de
rided that under the circumstance of
that case the procedure was simply
a guessing contest with a cash prise
hung up as the reward for the correct
answer. The case of the Multnomah
County Fair association is parallel with
the , Buffalo case, Mr. Evans points
out,' and from this he judges that the
court would probably say that it was
not a lottery.
To the lay mind, it Is a pretty fine
d Intinctlon. In a real honest to good
ness lottery you can buy your number
and take your chance. In a Teal honest
to goodness guessing contest like the
Ode ; of the Multonomah County Fair
association, you buy your ticket, make
your guess and take your chance. -Making
your guess, it seems, has the virtue
of taking the curse off and making that
legal, harmless and . nice ' which . would
otherwise ; be illegal, ; harmful and
naughty. ......
"GOAT" IS WECE8SABT. : ;( ::
- But Mr. Evans says he thinks, the
practice is wrong and is perfectly t
ing to pass the buck up to the su
pre me court of this state and see wheth
er it could tell the difference between
a real lottery and a camouflaged one.
All he is waiting for is some self
sacrificing goat to come along and butt
the county's, prosecuting machinery into
action.:.
Chief - of Police' Nels F. Johnson was
undecided today as to proceedings-, to be
taken in the automobile lottery case.
When Informed that District Attorney
Evans would prosecute any .case
brought by ; any one who saw fit to
start a teat case, be 'said be already
had the: matter under advisement and
would look into it further.
"I , believe such methods of raising
money, even for worthy causes, is bad
business," : said the chief. "When such
methods were employed by the patriotic
orranizations during- the war, the cloak
of patriotism covered -what law viola
tion was involved and we were incunea
a take no action. Considering that the
overhead expense in selling these chances
Is ' great and the net revenues to the
Gresham fair 'would be cut that much.
it seems a poor proposition, regardless
tt the legal aspect of It." ,-
DIRECTOR AT BEACH,

FROM
STUDIES
STRESS
Where Splash the Sad Sea
Waves . George Thomas Can
Prepare Report to Board.-;
School Director George ,B.. Thomas,
who, accompanied by $600 of. expense
money out of the treasury of the Port
land school district, recently for the pur
pose of studying educational matters,
made an extensive, and expensive, east
ern journey, coincidental with the pil
grimage of the Portland Shriners, is re
cuperating from the stress of his studies
at the sea Bhore. He will return, so It is
announced, on Thursday . next in order
to be present at a meeting of the board
of directors.
Although there has been a meeting of
the board since Mr. Thomas return from
his eastern journey, he has not yet filed
any repoft of his expenditures with the
board or turned back into the treasury
any surplus remaining unspent upon his
return to the city. '
It is understood, however, that Di
rector Thomas is thinking about ft, and
will probably make some kind of a re
port covering the matter, after he has
had the opportunity to confer with per
sons who have bad prior experience in
making eastern educational -journeys at
the expense of the school district. It is
said that Director Thomas is contemplat
ing the preparation of a report for sub
mission to the board at its meetingon
Thursday. ?
COUNJY CONTROVERSY

business associate of County Commis
sioner Bufus C. Holman, on February
If, lilt,, which was paid for by Davis
and later paid for the second time by
the county, deepened today at the court
house, with the ; report that .another
mysterious tire purchase . would further
becloud the issue. - . . -'
County Auditor Sam Martin is ill at
his home today, and was unable to make
any statement: as. to further develop
ments in the ease, which on Saturday
rested with C. A. Nelson, former county
purchasing; agent, for explanation.
Mr. Nelson spent the morning going
over the records of the Goodrich Tire
cOtnpay in an endeavor to trace the pay
ment for the tire Which he says he made.
Mr. Nelson Said, he would be unable te
make a full explanation until ,he had
gone over-the books. ' That the whole
affair is simply a clerical error .'is the
statement Mr. Nelson said he wished to
let stand for the present.
The report from, an apparently re
liable source that the payment for a
tire two -months after the purchase of
Davis' tire,' and which it 'was .thought
was in payment zor bis tire, was - In

Do your Jams
' Jellies ever "Candy-?
Many women have been so discouraged by this trouble
that they have almost stopped putting up fruit..
Yet, there is an easy, simple way to avoid it. Use
Karo (Red. Label) and 4 sugar? in your preserving syrup,
instead of sugar alone.
Karo is a fine, clear syrup, with natural affinity for
the juices of the fruit.
It blends the sugar with the fruit juice-brings out all
the "fniity" flavor. . :
You, too, will obtain perfect results this summer if you
will use K Karo (Red Label) and sugar instead of all
sugar ibr preserving. ' y iCU i ;,;'. i-i. y '
You will find your jelly clear and firrnyour preserves
rich with heavy syrup your jams deliriously mellow and
'fruity". Not a sign of "candying".
For Cooking, Baking and CandyMakinsf Karo (Red
Label) is used in millions of homes. In all cooking and '
baking recipes use Karo instead of sugar. It is sweet, of
delicate flavor, and brings out the natural flavor of the food.

, The Dental Office usintf the E. R. Parker System, which has bien
established in this city; is the outgrowth of an idea that came to e
over a quarter of a century ago. . y:
I was a dentist, with only two hands, and my, professional ability -was
limited to what those two hands could do.
I saw that I could do no more with those two hands in a dental
. a SW S 1 " S Si mm m. ' i

Veeth, another to fill teeth, another to make artificial teeth, and so on. Founder .! Executive Head
and then associating these men in one office and having them work of E. R. Parker System
together, there was no limit to what might be accomplished; almost no limit to the reasonable
prices at which fine dentistry might be done.
It meant that materials and supplies could be bought in great quantities at wholesale, and
the saving could be taken off the bills which the patient pays. -
It meant that no time would be lost in operating, and a saving of time is always a saving of
money.
f . - - .----. : '
I carried out this idea' in one office and it worked worked better than I had ever hoped. 1
' If one office was a success, why not two or ten or twenty or any number? :
So I began establishing offices using the E. R. Parker System as fast as I could find compe
tent dentists to conduct them, with the result that there is a Parker System office in this city.
Tliis briefly describes the E. R. Parker System, based on the idea of lowering the price of
dentistry by doing more of it and doing it better.
No charge is made for examinations of teeth counsel or advice. '
You are invited to visit this office, where you can see what modern dentistry has grown to be,
and how little the price will be to have such work done as your teeth require.
