AN IMPORTANT SCHOOL ELECTION
Serving as school director in a thankless task.
But it is extremely important work.
The Salem public schools are in splendid condition, and there are
progressive movements to make them of greater worth and service.
And there is also a reactionary movement which, if successful,
would cripple their efficiency and render them less worthy of the
pride of the Capital City. ,
And, while this reactionary movement is in the name of economy,
the very nature of the forces behind it make it likely that it would
result in neither economy nor efficiency.
Many of the best friends of Salem and her schools, many of the
best business men here, urged upon Harley O. White and Chauncey
Bishop that they should allow their names to be used as candidates
in the election of tomorrow.
This movement has no thought of political or factional wranglings.
It is intended wholly for the good of the-jtchools, with the idea of
keeping them efficient and improving the. quality of the service to
the children of this city.
The election will be from 2 to 7 tomorrow, in the store room on
Mate street that is opposite the Spa.
Any legal voter may vote. No property qualification is necessary
The two candidates who have been put forward to onnose Mr,
White and Mr. Bishop are "good men and good neighbors. They are

reactionary methods and measures: by refusint? to be knockers.
, But Mr. Bishop and Mr. White, if elected, will be unmialifiedlv
for both economy and progress: for a business administration: for
euiciency at me least possible cost to the taxpayers. -

NEWBERG. Or., June 15.
(Special to The Statesman.) The
twenty-fifth annlversaiy of the
founding of Oregon Yearly Meeting
of the Friends church was celebrated
today. The principal ft-ature of the
faiornlng session was a paper of rem
iniscence by Aaron M. Bray, bhoit
talks were al.o given by a number
of pioneers of the yearly meeting, as
well as by some of the visitors.
This afternoon's program had for
its principal feature add leases by Dr.
Robert E. Pretlow of Seattle, clerk of
the Five Years Meetings of Friends
in America on "The Place of the
Yearly Meeting of the Quaker Po

Friends board of foreign missions on
The Church of the Future."
The department of evangelism and
church extension present d its an
nual report, through Homer I a. Cox.
of Portland, its chairman. The year
has meen a decidedly successful one
from the point of view of the work
of this department, as shown by the
reports. In only one year since the
first year of the yearly meeting has
there been a larger increase in the
membeibip on confession of faith.
Following the reports, interesting
addresses were made by Dr. Charles
E. Tebbetts and by J. Sanger Fox
of Portland, who has been serving as
field secretary for the past month,
lie was employed in this capacity for
the ensuing year.- At the close of
the arternon meeting, and offering
for this work was taken up to the
amount oC about $800.
Peace and arbitration were . the
subjects considered at the morning
meeting yesterday. The leport was
presented by Prof F. W. Pershlo,
superintendent of this department,
who made an able address on the
subject, as did Dr. Tebbetts and Paul
J. Furnas, field secretary of the
Friends service committee.
The evangelistic meetings are well
atended and helpful.

SUGGESTION TO
SAVE SHEKELS
B. F. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany Tells How Money
May Be Conserved.
' Here's a sngestion from the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber company that will
save motorists money: when yon
wash your car with a mixture of
kerosine and water, make sure the
liquid does not reach the tires.
Washing cars and washing tires are
two entirely different propositions.
A common method when washing
a car is to mix kerosene wiOi water
This is advisable when washing the
body or wheels, to remove mud and
dust from the varnish, but no kero
sine should reach the tires because
kerosene eats rubber. Water alone
is best for washing tires. Soap and
water will not', Injure the tire pro
vided the tire is wiped clean with a
sponge dampened with clean water
and then dried with a well wrung
cloth.
In. many sections of theVountry
the main travelled highways are well
oiled. After every run on an oil
road it is imperative that the tires
be washed thoroughly to make cer
tain all oil is removed. If it is Im
possible, say the Goodrich experts, to
remove oil and dirt that has become
caked on the tire with water alone,
water slightly diluted with kerosene
or gasaline may be used safely pro
video the tire is cleanedand perfectly
dried afterwards. .
The fact that oil is injurious can
be readily proven by Immersing a
small piece of rubber into kerosene
an1 allowing it to soak. The rubber
-will soon swell and lose its elasticity.
WHAT OF MEXICO?
And now what? Are we, having
established a presidency In Mexico,
to allow it to be made a permanent
servant of our enemy? Are we to
sit quiet, consenting that German
influence shall proceed from domin
ation to definite possession? If the
situation shall be left alone it will
soon come to just that In other
words are we to abandon, the Monroe
Doctrine, consent to the practice of
a barren fraud on the part of the
sham Mexican government and ob
serve without protest and rebuke the
establishment of a German depend
ency on our southern border? The
thing Is unthinkable. It flies In the

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darken Beaut! fully and Rcfttor
It Natural Color and
Lustre at Once
Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alrho
hol added, will turn gray, streaked
and faded hair beautifully dark and
luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to
get the ready-to-use preparation Im
proved by the addition of other in
gredients a latge bottle, at little cost,
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sin
ful, we all desire to retain our youth
ful appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You Just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. Af
ter another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur. Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not Intended for
the curef migltation or prevention of

began, after Dicky was comfortably
settled and smiling over hia cigar.
"I will employ one. a first-class,
really competent housekeeper. If you
will make no objection to this."
I opened the letter and handed it
to him. He read It through, his race
growing angrier at every line. When
he had finished he threw it on the
floor.
"Well I guess not," he exclaimed.
"I know that club game; it's the

They'll pay only a beggarly sum, and
you'll he tied to that same after

let it go hang."
"I suppose that if we had some
thing we wanted to do on a day
when you. had a commission to ex
ecute jwu .would leave your work
and go." I answered quietly.
"That's entirely different." re
turned Dicky. 1 am responsible
for the support of this family. You
are not. All you have to do Is to en
joy yourseir and make home com
fortable for me." X
We were interrupted by the door
bell. Dicky went to the door while
I hastily dropped the portieres be
tween the living room and the din
room I beard Dicky's deep voice in
greeting.
"This is good of you. IJ." and
Lillian Gale came into the room with
outstretched hand.
"Perhas 1 shouldn't have come
so soon." she said, "but you see I
am bound to know you .even if
Dicky does spirit yon away when we
want ydi to join us."
She threw him a laughing glance
as she clasped my 'hand.
"I am so glad you have come.' I
answered cordially, but Inwardly 1
fiercely resented her intrusion, as I
deemed It.
But what was my horror to hear
Dicky say casually:
"You've come at a most opportune
time. Lit. Madge has had an offer
from some woman's club to do a
lecturing stunt on history, her spec
ialty you know,-and she wants to
take it. I wish you'd help me per
suade her out of It."
"I canot Imagine why we. should
trouble Mrs. Underwood with so per
sonal a matter," I heard myself say
ing faintly.
Mrs. Underwood laughed boister
ously. "Why I'm one of the family,
my dear child." she said heartily.
Then she looked at me keealy.
"I might have known that one
man would have no chance with two
women." Dick growled. His tone
held capitulation. I knew I had
won mi battle. But was It my vlc
or this woman's I so detested?
"Don't let this man bully you."
she advised half-laughingly. "He's
perfectly capable of IU I know him.
By all means accept the offer If you
think it's worth while. All these
husbands are a bit archaic yet. you
know. They don't realize that wo
men have joined the human race."
"Come. Dickybird." she rattled on
as she saw his darkening rare.

There is no denying the fact that j
sne bas great charm when she
cbooHes to exercise It. Dicky, how
ever, appeared entirely oblivious to
it. sitting in moody silence until she
rose to go. -
"You ought to preserve that
grouch." she carelessly advised, as
he stood holding the door open for
her. "carerully corked In a glass
Jar. it ought to keep to give to your

Dick grinned reluctantly and
bow't-d low as she passed out ot the
room and with a cordial adieu to me.
but no sooner had the door closed
behind her than he turned to me
angrily.
"Look here. Madge." he ex
claimed, "are you really in earnest
about taking that blasted position?"
"Why. or course I am " I answered
"It seems providential, coming Just i
as you Insist upone having the

clear conscience now."
Dick sprang to his feet with a
muttered word that rounded sus
piciously like an oath, and began to
walk rapidly up and down the room,
his hands behind his bark, and his
race dark with anger. Up and and
down he paced, while. 1, sitting
quietly In my chair, waited, nerving
myseir for the scene I anticipated.
When It came, however. It sur
prised me with the turn It took.
Dicky stopped suddenly In his pac

dropped one knee beside my chair
and put his arms around me.
"Sweetheart." he said softly. "I
don't want to quarrel about this,
nor do I wish to be unreasonable
about it. But. really. It means an
awful lot to me. ' I don't want yon
to do It. Won't yon give It up for
me?"
I returned Dicky's kiss and held
him tightly while I answered:
"Dear boy. I'll think It over very
carefully. If I possibly can. I will
do as you wish. But. remember, I
say if I can. I haven't made yon a

"But you will, I know; that's my

Dicky's tone was light and con
