Or almost roui pounds of raisins or three cans ot canned pineapples. Should he carry hla bushel of wheat to a clothing store, he 1 might purchase a couple of pairs of -fairly good wool half hose or four or five pairs of cotton half nose. 5 With three bushels of wheat, he might buy a woolen shirt. One bushel would entitle tne farmer to a fair pairUT leather gloves,. or an ordinary pair o overalls. It would require almost two bushels of wjieat with which to buy a suit of cotton underwear and If he wore woolen underwear, ie would, be obliged to stack on the counter., lour bushela of liie wheat in payment. For a suit of fairly good clothes, it would re quire almost a wagon load of one uuanei bags m -wheat. plow If his wife happened to need. a little assortment of dry-! goods, for a dress pattern of 10 yards of calico, it would require a bushel and a half of wheat in payment. But If she preferred something like . Amoskeag ging hams, more than two bishels would be the necessary payment ror tne dress pattern. . If it were a percale aress she wanted, and a 10-yard , pattern was enough, it would probably re quire . payamcnt of two or mom bushels, and the same would be true if she bought 10 yards of outing flannel. A fancy gingham dress pattern would set the far mer back three bushels of his wheat. On the present market of 90 cents a bushel, he could buv a dozen and a half spools of the best thread. His bushel of wheat, on today's market of 90 cents a bushel sacked, would buy him about four pounds of bacon, or three nound:; of ham or a couple dozenof eprgs. or if he is in the meat market, hla bushel of wheat has a Dur- chaslng power of 10 pounds of plate ribs or seven poinds of pot roast or . four and one-half pounds of pork steak. The bushel would also .buy- nine ; pounds ot lamb stew or six pounds of veal. For an average pair of, work ing shoes, he would have to stack on the shoe counter about seven or eight bushels of wheal, or 10 bushels if he was rather particu lar. And for a pair of shoes for bia wile, the stack of wheat would be about six or eight bush els. If he had the toothache, it would cost him a big bushel of wheat to have it yanked out. But ii. mere naa to oe , some nerve blocking nd little extra work, he would pay In two bushels or more. If Mr. Farmer wanted a quart of Salem moonshine I liquor he would deposit in the alley nearly seven bushels of wheat. Preparations Made for Open House Night at Y Monday night.

SALEM, OREGON CHTY ra NOT ALL MET Baskets Sent out Christmas; Contributions and Work Are Needed The Associated Charities, in addition to the work it has been domic relieving the poor for the past two weeks, on Christmas sent out four baskets filled wall good cheer. Those in charge of the work and who are in close touch with conditions in Salem, say the need is great for additional lontribu lions. There are u number of families where the wage earlier cannot find work, and those who have odd jobs are urged to com municate with Earl Race, city re corder, who is in charge of the employment bureau for the city and the Associated Charities. Those in charge of headquarters in the Red Cross building, two doors east of the First Methodist church, say there is great need ot more ciothing for children. If any boys have outgrown their overcoats they can be used to good advantage, as there are a number of boyB who are improp erly clothed. There is an urgent need of any kind of bedding, as it has been found many poor families are sleeping without bedding suffcient to keep them, warm. All contri butions are received at the Red Cross headquarters, where a com petent woman is in charge to care properly for contributions. The giving may also be in the form of fruits or vegetables, as well as in money. - Yesterday the Fnrst Christian church of Salem sent the Associated Charities 50, and the Christ Evangelical church 1750 State street, through its Ladies Aid society, contributed 5. DEBS IS GRATEFUL FOR FAVORS SHOWN (Continued from page 1.) clared his release on Christmas day was due to the loyal support he had received from American Socialists. He said: "My lips are not sealed and my movements are not curtailed. "I am an enemy of the capital ist class and in me they shall find no comfort as long as there is breath in my body. "The administration that put me in prison knew that, and that is why I was there. The present administration also knew it and kept me there. "I owe my liberty today to fhe loyal -and devoted comrades who have worked tirelessly in behalf of the liberty in which cause this country was supposed " to have been founded. World In Travail "The whole world is in travail. The only people who have the power and the Intelligence to rec tify the conditions and lighten the burdens that the working class carries are the Socialists are those people who understand his tory and are committed to a def inite, scientific social program, which, if effected, would abolish capitalism and its attendant evils."

C. A., It was agreed to raise the weight limit for the jun ior players from llo to 12 5 ponnds, making it more of a grown-up game and inviting In the larger boys so as to make it faster and more scientific. The first two games will be played Friday afternoon. Tho first between the First Methodist and the First Congregational LSunday school teams, at 2 o'clock and the second at 3 o'clock, be tween the First Baptist and Uie First Presbyterian teams.

Clear Lake Families Wipe out Militarists A snappy game of basketball was played at the armory last sight, between a team from Com pany F and one from Clear Lake. north of town. The visitors have sixe oi a good rioor, ana to get on' a real f man's size floor was oivething 'ef .a . handicap. However,- they; proved to be ot ex ccptionatry , enduring material, with good training and they squir reled off., with 'the long end Of lurmurct iu i It looked like an ill-assorted match. The locals averaged 1-i much ; tne larger, and they have the more pretentious reputations. Excess weight, however, isn't worth as much for basketball as it is for swimming or weight- throwing, and the visitors were , able to last it out In rather bet- I ter conditioa. It was a good deal ' of a family affair on the part of the Clear Lakers, three of the players being from one family, and two' from another. Mason of the soldier team was the moht persistent scorer of the locals, though Hendricks and Crosnan were stars in getting the ; ball down the fieid. Itarra of Willamette refereed the game. The layer.s were: Company F: Byers. Hendricks. Crosan, Coch ran, Mason, and Remington sub stituting for Cockran. The visit ors were L. Mason, R. Q. Gfrod. A. Liskey, T. Girod. C. Mason. R.

BE Rotarians, Kiwanians and Realtors to Dine There Pending Repairs Beginning with the first of Jan uary, the Commercial club is go ing to be even busier than here tofore. It will look like a metro politan hotel, and the imaginative visitor wpn't even neeC to go in to the table, when the delectable odors and savoury smells come to him from the kitchen. One could live indefinitely on those delight ful dinner fragrances. For Steward John Rundberg is going to serve dinners to a whole string or organizations. On Mon days .come the regular Commer cial club dinners that have almost broken up otherwise happy homes because over-stuffed men go home so finicky that they don't enjoy the common foods that is set be fore them at their own table. Then, following ou other da3, rome the Kotarians, wun a con tract for 60 plates, and a possi bility of 75; the Kiwanians, with a contract for 80 plates and may be a score of extras; and the realtors, with a possibility of 40 diners These latter three organizations have been dining at the Marlon, but the repair work for the new dinins room throws them out for a few weeks. They have drafted and ont-voted Steward John to care for them in the interim, and he has agreed to do so. "It's a big jol), and I wish the club wasn't so" popular right now," said Mr. Rundberg. "I presume it is a compliment to the Com mercial club for them to believe tl.at we won't put poison in their soup, or spill hot co.rf?e down their necks, br any of those little things that vexed people do to other people: but it's sura an ad- jectival big job!"' And he swears a near-tired but delightful sigh as he feels that ho is their sol? and only rescuer from a dinnerless disaster.
