Circulation Department, 583. Job Department, 583. Entered at the Postoffice In Salem, Oregon, as second class matter. THE RIGHT START. The provisional government in Po land is holding out for a republic and will encourage no kirg. An election will tat held January 21 ir which all men nd women shall have equal voice. All titles and honors have been abohshed and those in authority have declared for absolute freedom of speech and action. That is the right start. But it does not follow that all the countries In the Infant class of republics will have smooth dailin? from the begin ning. A THOUSAND DOLLAR EAR OF CORN; THEN SOME. It is said that James J. Hill, during his lifetime, offered $1000 for a perfect ear of corn twelve inches long. If the shade of the railroad king and empire builder could look in at tbe Salem corn show, there --would be disclosed a perfect ear of yellow corn twelve and a half inches long; filled with row on row of perfect kernels, from tip to tip. And this thousand dollar ear of corn (and then some) was raised by Gust Ileyden, on the slough road, just above Salem. And this is the third year Mr. Hayden has exhibited at the Marion county corn show. And his exhibits have grown better from year to year; and from car to ear if the reader will excuse the play on words. This' is the fifth Marion county corn show held in Salem. The father of the Marion county corn show is Luther J. Chapin, and he is a proud father, with reasons. , The first show was fair the next was better; the next still bet ter; the next much improved, and this one will compare with the best in the United States. . In the Unite'd States ! " you ask. Well, Lewis Wilkinson, just arrived from near St. Paul, Minn., was a visitor at the Marion county corn show yeHerday, and he said he never saw better, corn in that state. i People have attended from Indiana, Iowa, IllinQis and other corn states, and. the general testimony is that this is as good corn as can be grown anywhere la.the United States, or in any other country. . This means a great deal for Oregon. Corn of the best quality can be raised here: is rai'ed here. Our corn growers will be obliged to adopt a corn crib suitable for i m is m 0 . our aamp zau ana winter weatner. lint they will do this, in time. ' And the faster improvements arc adopted such as have marked the past five years of corn production in the country of which Salem is the commercial center, the better it will be for the central "Wil lamette valley and her queen city. If you have not already done so, go today and see the thousand ilollareaficorirranalhen some), and all the fine displays of corn It will be good for your loyalty to the Willamette valley and Oregon, and it will encourage the exhibitors to make still more "improvement8 lor the sixth annual show, in lUlU. 1 '- : 1 Last day of corn show.- I The .world will have Us happiest New Year; It .will be the merriest Christmas since "1913. . It Is a good corn show. The one next j year ought to be still belter. That Is what It Is for. ,Clemenceaa says a league of na tions will be the first consideration at tbe peace table. And so it. will be. " While , in Paris President Wilson will, no doubt, do as the Parisians do. Exchange. No; he Is doing stroyers. When war was declared there were 364 ships in tbe navy and, when hostilities ceased there were 777, exclusive of privately own ed yachts and other vessels taken over. for. patrol service. DIVE FOR IT. If the Germans are hungry the navy department might make em a Chiistmas present of the names and nearest known locations of the vessels laden with provisions that were sunk during undersea; warfare. Then let 'em have the use of half a dozen of their submarines and split fifty-fifty with them on the stuff they salvage. There must be enough food supplies on the bottom of old ocean to keep Neptune and Davy Jones for a million' years. Ixs An reles -Times. REAL PROGRESSIVES. Turkey has a Progressive party that has given an object lesson of what spelling progress with a capi tal "PM can really accomplish. For four ycars the Progressive party has been in control of the government and finances of Tuikey. During that time -3.000,000 persons have been massacred, another million have been starved to death and taxes have been increased past the point of confiscation. It begins to appear that the Pro gressive 'party In the United States was only a piker. ;. v , . r S '" . - ( Catarrh Is an excessive secretion, accompanied with a chronic Inflam mation, from the mucnous mem brane.

PRIVATE KONKLE IS RECOVERING Piece of Shell Wounds Him in Back and He Is Sent to Hospital Yesterday's casualty Hit reports as severely wounded First Class Private Fred"L. Konkle of Company K, Third Oregon. Yesterday a friend here "re ceived a letter i from him, dated No vember 20. at Camp Hospital No. St In France, in which he says: T was wounded on the Soissons front on the 19th day of July. I was waiting orders to go ahead. I was in a small dugout with my first lieu tenant and first sergeant when one- of the big runs with 77ram shells came over and exploded right "over us. It knocked one corporal of ours over by " the shock, and the pieces knocked down one. and one piece killed one of our sergeants- Another hit our first lieutenant and the oth er one hit me in the back. It came within an inch of my spine and pene trated quite a distance. Then I pull ed off my pistol and my bolo and French knife and walked to the dress ing station. Was dressed by a ma jor and a Frenchman then I went to a French hospital, was laid on the table and a couple of French corpor als gave me a bath,, then they took me to the operating room. There they strapped me down and laid some gauze on my eyes and nose and the Interpreter told me to breathe natur al. Then they started to give me ether, and or all .the strangllngs. I sure did It. but when I came to I was not a bit sick. I came out of It as If I Just waked out of a long sleep. Then I raised up and there was a rubber sheet and a pool of blood un der me. The Interpreter told me to lie down, that there was nothing the matter with me only a gash in my back about 10 inches lone. They kept me there three days, then they moved me to the United States hos pital No. 1 at Paris. They kept me there two days, then sent me to Base hospital No. 20. I was there about three months, then came to camp hospital No. 2C. A. P. O., 727. The censor wrote on the letter: "Just want to tell yoa that Fred Is getting along fine and will be O. K. soon."

Good people, listen: - S V That Is a great corn show. S It would do credit to any of the great corn states. It will be open till 5 o'clock this evening. There were 15S entries for prizes; 55 of them 10 ear and 23 of them 100 ear entries, besides tbe single and pop corn and sweet corn entries and the display entries. S And then there is the Mt. Angel exhibit, with 38 lots.elhat arrixgd on Thursday, too late for entry; after the Judging was over. - The Mt. Angel display Is a pretty good corn show Itself. S And If you go and see it. you sure ly have to acknowledge the corn. If you have not already done so. V All this goes to show that the dis trict surrounding Salem (s coming into its own as a corn country. And it means that great additions are be ing made, and are bound to continue to be made, to the wealth of this sec tion. There is nothing that runs In to money faster than corn and the livestock prepared for the market on corn products. Corn may not become king here In the Willamette valley: kings are out Of date, auy way; but It Is sure to rank along with the vice president In the order of products of our roil. CLOVERDALE. Or..
