LINN DEPUTY CALLS POSSE But WHen It Arrives Stranger Who Looked LikeBald- v'-.V win, Is Gone - - Had a Linn county deputy sheriff ' eared to arrest single handed a lone pedestrian whom he casually met on the road near Sweet Home about 7130 o'clock Thursday night. Jeff Baldwin might now be fn custody. The deputy sheriff, whose name Is hot known here, was traveling in an automobile between Lebanon and Sweet Home when he overtook a man walking toward the latter place. So closely ; did the stranger tally with the description of Baldwin that after going some distance farther the of ficer turned around and went back toward Lebanon so that he might have another look at the suspect. This time he was sure the man was Baldwin and drove on Into town for help. When a posse returned the stranger had disappeared and no U DEW1 LLE ALWAYS GOOD MOST TIMES GREAT THE KIND THAT ENTERTAINS SINGING, DANCING AND COMEDY TO- DAY ftWaa trace of his whereabouts could be found. - .

First Air Mail Letter Has Arrived in Salem Probably the first letter by the new air mail service arrived in 'Sa lem yesterday, having been sent in the regular course of business from a representative ln New York to the Pheasant Northwest Products Com pany. The letter was carried from Xev York, by way of Philadelphia, to "Washington, thence by regular mail to Salem. It bears a 24-cent stamp with the legend. "Air Mall Service: Washing ton. New York. Philadelphia." The letter sent by the air service does not require an extra stamp foi Its Journey after leaving the air serv ice. The 24-cent special stamp is sufficient. In the course of time, no doubt, the receipt of letters from the air will be a commonplace incident. In these pioneer days of the service, it Is a novelty.

POUCY OF DEALERS (Continued from page 1) opinion, and brought in a marority and a minority report. The former advocated the placing of the conty upon a basis of 25 per cent wheat flour to 73 per cent of subsiitntes. The latter favored a compromise by going on an absolutely wheatless iaMs for ceVeral weeks, and then baL of 2Z to 73 per rent for the balance f the season. Among other arguments, the minority urged that Marion county would be placed In a bad !i1it among the other counties ftf the state, the great majority of which had thhs far been pledged t a wheatlcss basis. I After several minutes of warm de- imw- uir iiiujoriiy repori was mupiitt. Hiih hut two dissenting votes.

MEYERING GETS SERVICE CROSS American Lieutenant Decor ated for Gallant Conduct in Action k ... I I . . a WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Thursday. May 30.

Being compell ed io seek medical attendance, he walked unassisted through a barrage to a dressing station and refused to go to the rear nntil he learned the result of the engagement. His brave example inspired his men. his 'cita tion says, to drive off the enemy, who did not reach the American trenches. Lieutenant Meyeiing's right hand was amputated in consequence of his wound. Pharoah's Foresight Cited to People of This Country NEW YORK. May 31. The fore sight of King Pbaroah. who saved Egypt from famine by following the following the advice of Joseph, to store grains In years of plenty against a period of drought, was cited by Herbert Hoover, fnfted State food administrator, in a message to the federal food board for New York tonight, announcing the intention of the governmeut to place in storage every possible kernel that can be saved from the forthcomlns wheat harvest. That the government has overlook ed the welfare of Oregon soldiers and sailors upon their return from the war in throwing open for home steading the Oregon-California land grant is the opinion expressed by (Joverror Wlthycombe In a formal comment made on the action. The governor believes that, men in the service of the conntry on land or sea should be allowed preferential rights, relative to the lands, pratlc ularly for the reason that the grants offer the last opportunity to home stead lands that can be farmed with out irrigation. Governor Wlthycombe suggests that as far as increased production of food Is concerned, a better move would have been some enactment to stimulate sub-division of the larger farms of the state and consequently more intensive farming. " I believe the government has made a serious blunder In permit ting the Oregon-California land grant to be homesteaded at this time, bsts the governor in h!s comment. "In the first place, development will be very noniiral because of the great scarcity and high price of labor, par ticularly for rural development. In the next place, there are about 25, 000 of the bravest and most worthy youns men of Oregon now in the ervice cf their country and many of these young men would doubtless be very glad of the opportunity to. tile on this land but are denied the privilege because of their service to their colintry. "It would seem to me that these men would be entitled to a prefer ential right on account of the sacri fice they are making. This is the last opportunity for choice land without the need of irrigation to b homesteaded In Oregon. It would have been far better if we could have stimulated the sub-division of our larger farms which are already un der cultivation so that we could have had more Intensive farming and consequent larger production of food. "Hut a small fraction of the farms of Orecon are producing their ca pacity and this idle unimproved land could have remained for a few years until onr boys from the front could have an' opportunity of securing homes for permanent settlement" OREGON EAGER TO SAVE WHEAT State Believes in Doing Well Anything That Is Worth Doing At All PORTLAND. Or. May 31. That Oregon believes what la worth doing at all Is worth doing well and with out loss of time, is shown by the re ports that are pouring into state food administration headquarters here from every section of the state. "Every county. said Assistant Fed eral Food Administrator W. K. New ell "seems to be enthusiastically In the race for first honors in gettln on an absolutely wheatlees basis. Our long distance telephones ar kept busy, and the mails and tele graph wires bring almost hourly mes sages of sweeping progress through out Oregon. Dealers and consumers In every t section are eager to assist In every way they can to save every possible pound of wheat, and to help gather in the turned-back flour for export overseas to the armies and the Cllies. The plan for assembling the turned-back flour has been per fected. In detail by the United States food administration grain corpora tion. 310 Board of Trade (building, from which a letter of definite in struction has been vent to every flour dealer In the state. ."Under this plan, citizens turning back flour will receive cash or credit at retail rates, from their dealers, who In Inrn are recompensed, upon presentation of properly signed re ceipts and statements, to their banks. Dealers turning back unsold .stocks, of wheat flour will be paid the wholesale prices. All dealers are ask ed by the food administration to act as stewards of the flour, gathering it and holding It until they receive definite shipping instructions for sending it to the nearest assembling point. ! ' "Because the people of Oregon are ready for It. and because they, are eager for the opportunity to make any sacrifice that will directly aid our fighting forces and our loyal-long-suffering allies, the adoption of the 'wheatless-until-harvest' program has been welcomed with cheers in stead of with grumbling. The real war service spirit. In which selfish ness has no part. Is abroad In Ore eon. Any who are Inclined to lag behind in their readiness to go wHeat less I am sure will find themselves swept along on the splendid tide or patriotlcni and helpfulness that is putting Oregon In the front line trenches here at home.

HUNS REACH MARNE (Continued from page 1) wire entanglements. The 'Germans are not making the same ose of ar tlllerr as heretofore. They are using trench mortars In large numbers for wire ruttlnr. "Is this the enemy's main attack ? He probably did not know when he initiated It (whether it would prove to be a strbsidlary or leadinr operation. It must be remembered that the enemy has three great re-1 uKrapnirai oojecuves as a means to ward his great objective ot destroy ing the Franco-British armies the channel ports, separation of the al lied armies by an attack through Amiens and an attack on Parls, In the present operations he Is doing all possible to develop hi In itial success by aUacks both onthe center and on the Hanks of thaisal Unt. He has achieved considerable success In the center, but on toe flank the French are holding well on the heights west of Solssons and the British are similarly fighting hard on the heights around Rheims- "No review of the past week Is "omptete without mention of the fine xploit of the American troops In the extremely well conducted operation, and. In new of the facts that the troops. were untried, it Is notable that they 'not only captured their objective, but held it. It Is always touch more difficult to consolidate and retain a position than to cap ture It and the performance of the Americans shows the very high stan dard as well as their training, brav ery and fighting qualites. 4.VOOO HELD rRISOYF.R.
