tion were present, be added, and
there was unanimity of sentiment
on the matters under discussion.
Reduction Decided On
It was decided at the meeting,
he said, that railroad rates should
be reduced aa fastt as decreasing
operating costs would permit,
that it would be unwise for the
farmers to demand that control of
intrastate rates for car service be
taken from the interntate com
merce commission and that it was
wise to recognize the desire of
farmers to terminate the clause in
the Escb-Cummins law which
fixes 5 to 6 per cent as the fi
nancial return for the railroads.
Among those present at the
meeting:, he said, were representa
tives of the National Association

dried prunes. hU bushel ot wheat
would buy six pounds. i
Of beans, his bushel of wheat
delivered over the counter would
buy. 11 pounds, or 10 pounds of
rice, or10 loaves of bread or one
pound each. 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.

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

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."

Weight of Junior
Players Made 125 Pounds
At the Sunday school basket
ball league meeting last night at
the Y M. 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.
The rest of the schedule has
not yet been made out; but the
series is to extend long enough to
make It a good season's rivalry.
Other games will be announced
as the schedule is completed.
The games will be open to an
visitors, especially to the Sunday
schools that make up the leagus.
Clear Lake Families

A snappy game of basketball
was played at the armory last

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 layer.s were: Company F:

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.
