Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1922 ROYS ARE STRONG CONTE NDERS FOR PRIZES AT SHOW Dallas, Oregon, November 22. T.nnks like we u nave 10 ruie vminesters out for their j.jh can't compete with them,' T-omnrked A. E. Horton, chairman fh independence corn show referring to the heavy winners of ih. luniors at mai event wnicn closed Saturday evening. This -.0n ah last. It seems that the hnvs have not only put up an ex- ceptionally fine display In their nwn department, dui iney nave entered in the open classes and walked away with their share of the awards. The champion 10 oars, in fact went to a boy of Independence, Norval Pease. Potato Honors Taken In the potato exhibit the three Wilson boys, Alfred, George and Woodrow. of the Mill creek sec tion, simply failed to recognize competition. Of the five potato classes these boys took first, s"ec- ond and third in three of them. The boys are members of a potato club and are regarded by club members and officials as author ities in potato culture. It Is evident that they know the game and their winnings at Independ ence were predicted by a number of observers, familiar with their work. The sweepstakes half- bushel, both In certified and com- , mercial grades, went to Harley Wilson & Sons, Sheridan, Route 1 The Wilsons are showing at the Spokane, Washington Potato show next week and it is expected that they will be in the running there. The potato display, in which there were 69 half-bushel entries, did not show the uniformity of the corn. Doubtless with a little more experience In Showing pota toes the quality will Improve. This is the first season that pota toes have been included at the Independence Corn show. Im proper shape for the variety, too large or ill-formed, and the presence- of diseases covered the most of the trouble with some of the entries not included in the win nings. Little black spots on the skin showing rhizoctouia, and wilt gave the most trouble. Culinary Exhibit Good The culinary department cov ered an immense table at one Bide, a matter of fully a hundred entries. Corn breads, Boston brown, cookies, gems and canned corn were there In -profusion and 'excellence. The awards went to a number of Individual cooks, the best individual display to Mrs. ' Orosby Davis of Independence. Mrs. L. A. Dickenson of Dallas is also found among the prize win ners. a In the senior department J. A. j' Reynolds, Independence, route 2, drew first on 10 ears of dent, : with T. L. Hartman. aged grower in the edge of Independence, com ing In on top with the 50 ear lot. Mr. Hartman also won champion Bingie ear. With the club mem bers Mark Capps, Jr., took first on 10 ears. Charlie Wilson, Ied- pendence, route 1, took the blue ribbon on the SO ears.

Peon Pants Cause Of TemporaryStrikeof Students At Dallas Dallas, Nov. 22 Great was the excitement that prevailed in Dal las Tuesday all day. The morale of the entire city was disrupted- turmoil reigned, supreme the ma Jesty of the school law figurative ly had fingers snapped at it. It stood without a friend friend less and all alone. Students were traversing the streets of the con jested district during the day. No violence was reported. But not so with many of the boy students of the Dallas high school. Their feelings had been hurt they felt humiliated, about forty of them m number, their ideals in what was correct In the line of dress had been shattered, and they were inculcated with the real! zauon mat might was right and asserted themselves right out in public. Eight members of the student body determined to show their independence by appearing at the morning assembly wearine the much discussed toreador trousers, more commonly known as Peon pants, xnese "Peon Panters" who appeared In a garb that would put to shame ."Solomon arrave'l in all his glory," had secured the pants, probably from Salem, and unassumably drifted Into the a3 sembly room. They were Halden Grant, Paul Bilyeu, Ray Imbler, Willard Brown, Louis Wick ioyd McCann, Lynne Black, George Brown and a couple of others. When their presence was discovered the trouble started iney were "clearly show,n that their presence in that garb was not wanted. A motion was made by.one of the students that thev be compelled to sit by themselves on the platform. It was at this time that the principal of the school, C. A. A'rpke, asserted him self, by declaring that he didn't want them on the platform. Rather than to further associate with the "Peon panters" 40 of the students walked from the school, leaving the toreador he roes masters of the situation. Lat er these were taken into captiv ity, their trousers stripped from them and they were then sent to their respective homes in auto mobiles. But on had the heroism to stick it out. After losing their trousers those who had worn them allied themselves with tha revolutionists, parading the streets In a body and forming in front of the high school building. During all this turmoil, R. R. Turner, city superintendent of schools, held forth in his office and represented the school law from that point. He had nothing to say, but on his face was the expression that plainly said: "I'li fight it out on this line if it take? the balance of the school year." CAPITOL STREET TO Buyers of lots in the "Highway addition" along the unopened portion of Capitol street, between Madison and the Fairgrounds road will hold a meeting in the auditorium of the Salem Chamber of Commerce tonight. Lots will be paid for and receipts will be given. Twenty-eight lots have either been bought or guaranteed, ac cording to Fred Erixon who, for several years, has worked with a view to . opening north Capitol street. Several directors of the Chamber of Commerce will be at the meeting tonight and It will be well worth attending, he said. All preparations for the open ing of Capitol street will be made this winter and paving will begin early In the spring, Mr. Erixon said. What's New on the Market BY FORREST GINN A fresh supply of cauliflower, locally grown, appeared .on the market this morning. The prod uct is now selling at 15 cents a pound as against 10 eents earlier in the season. A very good supply of cocoanuts are to be had at this time. They vary in price according to size. The larger ones are selling at 20 cents each and the smaller at from 10 to 15 cents each. The latter are offered at two for a quarter. At present there is a scarcity here of Brussel sprouts. More are expected in a day or so. They are selling at 25 cents a pound. The price of fresh hennery eggs as being paid by the local ship pers still holds at 50 cents a doz en. It Is quite usual lor the stores to pay from three to five cents a dozen more but it is reported that they are getting enough to supply their demand at not higher than 52 or 63 cents. The retail price is from 55 to 60 cents a dozen. 'Lynchburg, Va.

Yesterday a jury In the Salem justice court gave it to Harry Hyde of Stayton, who some time ago left it with Miss Betty Morrow, Stayton hotel waitress. The jury held that Mr. Hyde, who had brought a replevin action, was entitled to the instru ment. rtiu . ... .. iue puunograpn man t move without a fight. The defense called several witnesses who testi fied that Harry had declared the phonograph to be a present for iVliss Morrow. The defendant her self testified that Harry who, she said, had sought her affections, had placed It in her hands as an offering testifying to the high esteem in which he held her. Mrs. Frank Leslie and Frank Leslie, proprietors of the hotel, also testi fied that the machine had been a gift, as did Wilbur Leslie, their son. Mr. Hyde, on the stand, saw that was all wronsr. He hadn't iven the phonograph to Miss Morrow. He hadn't, been in love with her. He just left the instru ment in her care while he was in a logging camp. He expected, he explained, to give the phonograph to .his mother as a Christmas present. STATE TRAFFIC T Earl W. Perkins, 32, state traf fic officer for district number 3, with headquarters at Oak Grove, is in the Willamette Sanitarium with painful bruises about the head and badly torn ligaments in both legs as the result of an acci dent near the Pudding river bridge a short distance north of Aurora, last evening In which a Willam ette Valley Transfer truck bound for Portland, which was being driven by H. M. Hewitt. Ken neth Caldwell, helper, was accom panying ran over him. Mr. Perkins had just left Au rora for Oregon City and In at tempting to pass the big truck it is thought that the sidecar attach ed to the motorcycle on which he was riding caught in the hub of the truck wheel in such a way that he was thrown in front oi the freighter which passed over him. It is thought that the chassis and rods under the truck caught and rolled him as the wheels were said not to have passed over his body. Doctor R. Cartwrlght, house doctor at the hospital, at tended Mr. Perkins and said that he did not believe the officer suf fered any broken bones. Mrs. Perkins arrived in Salem this morning to be with her husband. HOPPE IS AGAIN CHAMPION New York, Nov. 22. Willie Hoppe Is again the 18.2 balkllne billiard champion.

PETITION ASKS RAIL LINE BE EXTENDED A petition signed by 200- citi zens of Western Clackamas coun ty and praying for the comple tion of the Southern Pacific rail road between Oswego and Wil lamette, was received by the pub lic service commission Monday. The petition supplements a similar petition filed' with the commis sion several weeks ago.

It generally takes four to five days to make up the budget and the meeting will be called for some day late In December, when the taxpayers are expected to get together and decide upon what levies shall be made.

It is possible that this optn ion may this year result In a very poor attendance. As It has been shown the coun ty, court chose to kill the county agent 'proposition by hitching it onto a proposal that more than $40,000 extra be voted for -roads. Notwithstanding this, there is much talk of getting together the farmers at the budget meeting and putting the county agent fund back on, even though it stays there only long enough fru it to be stricken off by the court. If this cannot be done there is a disposition to vote off the bud get every dollar that the law will allow, and compel County Judge Robinson and Commissioner Graves to. take the responsibility of putting back the amounts. This may possibly meau the cut ting of the allowances for all county officials, including partic ularly the county court.
