County Paving; Plant at Salem Again Operated The arrival of one carload of asphalt breaks the period of en forced inactivity of the Salem branch of Marion county's road paving units. Because of a 30 day delay in the arrival of road build ing material, the Aumsville and Mount Angel plants are out of operation. The carload of asphalt, which will provide a four.day run for the local plant has been aug mented by four hundred barrels of asphalt secured from the Huber plant at Eola, this private plant having closed down upon the com pletion of work in that section. The Salem plant was in opera tion Tuesday and is supplying ma terial for the two mile stretch of paved county highway near the .North Howell schoolhouse on the Salem-Silverton road. Asphalt Shipments Slow County Roadmaster W. J. Cul ver reports that the failure of ma- Judge G. E.

Miss Eloise White, a student of the University of Oregon, is spend ing a few days visiting at the home of Miss Marjory Kay in this city. She is a member of Gamma PJii Beta sorority. Harold Cook to Scout For Deer Scout Executive Harold Cook re turned last evening from Portland, market road program. That the present good weather cannot be taken advantage of by all county road-buijding forces is the cause of much anxiety by the officials who have this work in charge. Twenty cars of asphalt, were ordered from California nearly 30 days ago, but due to unsatisfactory freight conditions 19 cars of the material are still "oh the way." During enforced cessation of ac. tivity, the crews of the various plants have been occupied in re pairs and also in grading and surfacing roads preparatory to final hard surfacing. Mr. Culver hopes to have all three plants in full operation within the present week. Every after spending the week-end in that oeing made to speed up city on business. Mr. Cook accom- the shipments of aspnaU panied several of the members of the Whitnev Boys' chorus, who had ; been taken ill in this city, and who! needed attention for the remainder! of the journey. Mr. Cook reports that he was able to place the boys among relatives in that city, and at time he left all but three or t boys had recovered. The executive will leave tills evening for his ranch in Douglas county, where he will estaonsn headquarters during the season of deer hunting. The fact that deer are seemingly plentiful in that part of the country would indicate that hopes for successful hunting are in order, and Cook says he will stay until he gets his quota. Bear and cougar are plentiful in that vicinity as well as other smaller game, ana an exciting time is anticipated. Scout Henry Wesley Thielsen, who returned, from Newport yesteraay, will acocmpany Mr. Cook on the trip. They will be entertained at River Crest ( the home of Cook. o. T5. 2 Alleged Drunks Jailed; 1 Gets 5 Days Hard Labor Judge Earl Race admits that all wages have gone up with the sole exception of those credited to the man who serves time in jail. "1 hate to profiteer, but you'll have to serve five days at hard la bor," he observed Tuesday morning when Fred Moyer, of this city, ap peared in the police court n charge of drunkeness. Moyer stated that he was without the nec essary $10 and was put to splitting wood and cleaning windews. Moyer was arresed Monday night by Officer Engle near the South ern Pacific station, where the blue coat stated, he was endeavoring to get out of town on a freight train. Pa Devine, also charged with be ing fntoxicated, appeared before ludge Race Tuesday and was titled $10. He was arrested by Officer Brown Monday night. Big Truck Loads Ruining Roads "Roads built to stand the wear and tear inflicted by five-ton loads cannot possibly come up to the de mands made by many truck driv ers who do not hesitate to throw an eleven-ton load upon the limit ed surfacings", states County Judge W. M. Bushey in outlining the stand of the Marion county court against overloads on all op en traffic routes. Roadmaster Culver and the county commissioners report that little or no attention is paid to laws enacted by the legislatures of 1919 and 1920 which attempted to curtail abuses due to extreme loads. Although small penalties arc provided, the county officials state that no means of systmatiz ing the loading of trucks has been provided. "Very few scales will register these extreme loads and officials apparently find little vested authority for the detection and arrest of violators," is Mr. Culver's summary of the situation. Highway Broken Down The county ftfficials state that newly constructed highway sec tions, soon break down under the abuse, and assert that an over loaded truck, traveling on one ,';ide of the route causes the outer edges of the surfacing to gradual ly crumble and crack. Similar ooniplayits are reported from counties in this state and county officials are confident that remedial measures will be enacted at. the next session of the Oregon legislature. Britten Admits Charge Made Only Rumor Chicago, Aug. 81. Fred A. Brit ten, Illinois congressman, failed to produce any evidence to support his recent charge that $87,500 ap propriated by the British govern ment "for entertainment purpos es" at the British embassy in Wash ington had found its way Into the democratic national committee's funds. Under a grilling examination by Senators Reed and Pomerene Mr. Britten admitted he had no facts to support the charge and that it was only his person idea. Mr. Eritten asked the committee to subpoena Thomas W. Lamont, owner of the New York Post, the heads of Doubleday, Page and company, publishers, and officials of the Western Newspaper Union, a syndicate supplying "boiler plate" to newspapers. He present ed an advance proof sent by the plate syndicate to newspapers of fering them, free of charge, with shipping charges prepaid, plates of a story entitled "Uncle Sam of Freedom Ridge" which Is said be an argument in favor of the league of nations. He said he be lieved British interests were fi nancing league propaganda. The committee summoned the heads of the Western Newspaper Union. Representative S. D. Fess, chair man of the republican congress ional campaign committee, con firmed Fred Uphamfs testimony that the congressional committee was seeking to raise $500,000 In dependently of the national cam paign committee. Of this sum he said $400,000 was for use in the present campaign. He said the committee had re ceived one contribution, of $5000 and two of $2500 each. The aver age contribution was $40, Mr. Fess added. Mr. Fess raised a laugh when he testified that his republican com mittee was sending out copies of the speeches of Senator Reed, democrat. "I thought they were good ones, quite a number," he added. Soviet A rents In Mexico Face Arrest Today Mexico City, Aug. 31.

Yirar Illond Needs it, Say Physicians Theres n'ot enough phosphorus in modern foods to benefit nearly one half of the men and women of America, scientists declare. To overcome -this lack of an element of your body that is nec essary to your health .your happi ness and even your success in life, weak .anaemic. nervous. run down people are advised to take Bitro-Phosphate as dispensed in leading drug stores in the origin al package. Speaking of people who are eas ily fatigued, who lack ambition, nerve and are ofttimes thin, weak and siidly lacking in firm, healthy flesh, Joseph D. Harrlgan, form erly visiting specialist North East ern Dispensary, N. Y., says : "Patients who were apparently physical wrecks, who foolishly thought they needed only a blood tonic to enrich the blood, have come for treatment trembling and shaking, their nerve force almost exhausted and in many such cases the administering of Bitro-Phosphate has produced seemin'y magical results." Pennle who feel the heat of, summer .tire easily and often be come irritable and depressed, will find Bitro-Phosphate an Inexpens ive and helpful friend. Druggists report a wonderful increase in the demand from men and women who are anxious t renew old time ambition and who are making an honest effort to be come vigorous and keen minded with a power of endurance thtt denotes almost perfect health. They ask for Bitro-Phosphate because they know they need an inexpensive organic phosphate. adv)j Tennessee May Yet Repudiate Suffrage Act Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 31.

Nerve Energy Every person needs nerve energy to fight the bat tles of life; for every ac tion, whether physical or mental, is a drain upon this force. It is said that the nerve energy consumed in see ing is twenty times that used in hearing for the same period, and the eyes use many times more energy than any other organ of the body. When one considers that this energy is drawn up on continually for from sixteen to eighteen hours .daily, the importance of keeping the eyesight in good condition is at once apparent.
