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.

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

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.

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. The pro
posal to construct the road in
question has been turned down
by the Southern Pacific company
as Involving , too great an ex
penditure and not Justified by the
traffic to be gained. The cost
of the proposed construction Is
estimated at $75,000.
Last night in McCornack hall
the Security Benefit lodge gave
a real poverty aance, ana to en
courage poverty prizes were given
for the costumes which seemed to
represent most accurately hard
times. There was no doubt that
poverty had entered the hall
judging from the costumes there.
First prize was given to Emery

or the people steni to be of the
opinion that budget meetings
cut very little figure In fixins
taxes. 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. Feeling
throughout Polk county is quite
bitter, but it remains a question

budget to pieces or stay away and

Until last year the budget
meeting was considered to have
the last word in fixing the taxes.
The discovery that such Is not the

what effect it is going to have on
the future meetings remains to
be seen.
