The fighters from 'Eugene

place at fullback had been, oc

A community chest for Salem
and the organization of all char
itable bodies into one central body
will come up for discussion at the
meeting of the Salem Federation
of clubs to be held at the Cham
ber of Commerce auditorium on
Tuesday night. !
Those familiar : with the situa
tion r declare that it is becoming
more afid more difficult to secure
volunteers to put on the various
drives, and It is not uncommon for
those "who volunteer to declare
never, again." It is abo held
that' the people of Salem are be
coming ; restless about being ap
proached by so many drives eacn
year. Should a community chest
be organized, all thr drives in the
ity would be combined Into One
big drive which would aim to se
cure at one ; time all the" money
necessary to carry on the work ot
the organizations that depend on
public subscription.
Under the pres m system of
charity work, it is held, some fam

the centralized charity " council
proposed, each family seeking aid
would be indexed and only those
found 'A worthy would be , given

who have been appointed as del

is open to all who r&e interested

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l. (By
Associated Press.) The war de
partment temporarily: lifted its
ban on Colonel William Mitchell
today and he harried out of the
district of Washington limits for
the first t;ine since he arrived
from Texas to face court martial.
Under the special dispensation.
Col. Mitchell was permitted to
visit overnight his homestead and
stables at Middieburg, Va.
VASHINGfON, Oct. 31. (By
Associated Press.) The court
foartial trial of Colonel William
Mitchell, based on charges specify
ing conduct prejudicial to military
discipline and good order as a re
sult of his utterance in the air
controversy, stood in recess today,
while the counsel for the prosecu
tion and defense secretly planned
the methods of procedure they will
follow when the' trlal is resumed
Monday.- ' ' 1 v :X '- "
Colonel Mitchell and his civilian
counsel Representative Frank.' R.
Reid of Illinois, had two tentative
plans under consideration,, but
neither would say whether an at
tempt to put them before the court
Monday would be made.
One was to request that Presi
dent Cool Id ge be summoned as a
witness, or asked to make a depo
sition concerning the, accusations
against the air service. The alter
native plan was to renew the chal
lenge as to the. court's jurisdiction
to try Colonel Mitchell on the con
tention that it was irregular and
illegal for tbe accuser to act as
the final reviewing officer and to
pass judgment oh the accused.
Mr. Reid attaches' importance
to the admission made-by. Colonel
Sherman Moreland trial judere -ad
voeater thatVthetlriatfP "6t"C6ttinel
Mitchell was ordered by President
Coolidge. the secretary of war act
mg as his agent, and not by either
ot the defendant's commanding of
ficers. Major General Ernest Hinds
of the Eight Corps area, or Briga
dier General Samuel Rockenbach,
counsel lays his contention that
the president has become the ac
cuser of Colonel Mitchell.
Despite the ruling of the court
that the war secretary had power
to convene it for .trial of the air
officer and bad been to all intents
and purposes the commanding of
ficer ofHColonel Mitchell, Mr. Reid
holds that the president is actual
ly; the accuser and judge.
War department legal officers,
oh the other hand, - were equally
certain today that the trial offi
cer, who has power to subpoena
witnesses, would refuse ' any re
quest for President Coolldge's
summons or for a deposition if a
plea for such action was made. by
Mr. Reid.
Despite Long Extended Dry Per
iod, Blazes Are Kept Under
Control
A statement issued Saturday by
State Forester F. A. Elliott shows
that fires and-fire losses 'within
the state on lands coming under
the jurisdiction" of his office were
far less than last year, and this In
spite of the fact that - long ex
tended dry period made conditions
exceedingly favorable .for disas
trous fires. A total of 840 tires
vere suppressed by the field crew
this year as against 188S In 1924,.
Lightning is -credited with the
greatest number, 186 in all. incen
diarism is 'second with 154 and
smokers third with 107. One note
worthy feature of fire causes is the
falling off in the number of hunt
er fires. Only 24 Is credited to
tjhis cause and a number of them
were caused by hunters who were
In. the woods before the season
Opened. The small number is un
questionably due to the changing
Of the opening of the deer season
from August 20 to September 10,
thereby serving' to keep hunters
ut of the woods during what is
Ordinarily a bad fire period.
The total area burned over is
placed at 51,144 acres, resulting
In the destruction or 6,509.000
feet of timber, valued at approxi
mately 15,000. Logging operators
suffered a loss of $85,692. due to
fires in their operations, uver
half of this loss was caused by one
fire which occurred the fore 'pan
bf August In ' Columbia county,-!
Loss in improvements other than
logging equipment was $70,919,
The total cost of fire suppression,
exclusive of patrol, was slightly
less than $100,000.

(By Associated Press.) -r- A
sharp clash of counsel over a rul
ing, of Judge ; Will .Sparks on a

"Oh," said Eph Inman, defense
counsel, "and what else did she
call him?"
The state Immediately objected
to the construction put by Inman
on the word "dear" and the judge
upheld the - objection, saying that
the Word might have been: used
in fear or terror instead of as a
term of endearment. The defense
took vigorous exception to the

Every state in Union to Take

Uons Will Aid !
The state department ot edu
cation is mailing a supply of pro
grams for American Education
Week to the county school super
intendents. Superintendent! Chur
chill Is ; asking the cooperation
ot the schools and - various civic
organizations in the proper ob
servance of American Education
Week. The foreword of the
pamphlet is as follows:
Under the joint auspices of the
United States Bureau of Educa
tion, the Americas Legion, and
the National Education Associa
tion, every state in the Union will
celebrate the week November 16
22 as American Education Week.
"The State' Department of Edu
cation for Oregon is, therefore,
asking the school teachers of this
state to secure the cooperation ot
the representatives of the Amer
ican Legion and of the Oregon
State Teachers' Association in car
rying out a program In their re
spective communities thai will
bring about a more intensive in
terest in the work of the public
schools. ' i
The national authorities have
assigned a special topic for each
day, and their suggestion has been
followed in the preparation of this
pamphlet. It ia expected, how
ever, that ' in the rural schools
each teacher will use her own
initiative, and in the larger sys
tems the superintendent will ap
point a committee representing
the cooperating interests, and that
this program will simply act as a
helpful guide in arranging for an
effective observance of American
Education Week.
Many of our cities have from
one to three service clubs, which
meet weekly on different days as
well as the regular meeting of the
chamber of commerce. They al
so have the Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation and various, women's clubs.
Each of these clubs will be glad to
have the program for the day ob
served : at its weekday luncheon
if arrangements are made in time.
DEM0LAYS DROP FRIARS

FICES AND ACTIVITIES
Letters have been received by
members ot the Friars' club who
ere also members of the DeMolay,
jenior Masonic order, that they
bad been dropped from all offices
and, committee work' in conjunc
tfon with the De Moiay order.
There Is 110 reason advanced in
the letter but it is generally nn
derstood that the action was taken
because of the suspension of the
Friar-De Molays from school last
week for violation of the secret
club ruling ot the school board.
Several members of the ' Friars'
club took the position that it this
organization was abolished the

some of these price controllers
might "ultimately bring ft crash
down upon the entire Industry;".
Mr. Ilover deplored the situa
tion and asserted that tha best in

tionably called for tho ; greatest
amount ot freedom of trade from
price controls, r T-V United States
as a matter ot internal policy "had
enacted in tha past aud enforced
the anti-trust laws to prevent IU ,

' The uniform expression ot the
managers ot the rubber control la
the East Indies up to eight moaths
ago was that the Industry sought
only from 30 to 35 cents per
pound for. their product and our
investigation Showed they could
earn about 2 5 per cent of the cap
ital invested when rubber brings
that price. , It is today over II Tr

"Likewise, tbe assertion of the
coffee industry over years (lace

today 23 cents with a great , sur

"That this difference between
'reasonable and 'high' prices is
