GOOD EVENING WORDS AND MUSIC Dy Stoddard King ' "A SMALL BUT ADEQUATE REGULAR ARMY." . J As I was walking through the land, which I have often done, . I saw a lonely soldier man, a cleaning off his gun; And as I toadied him for a chaw - I says: "Who might you be?" "Why, brother," says tho soldier man, "I am the Infantry," "Tho cavalry's at tlio corral .mas saging of his steed, Which lias to II vo on crop reports since congress stopped Its feed.

But sober reflection on the many discomforts, Incon veniences and even . perils of the hammock make us wonder how people managed to endure It as long as they did. - SIPS FOR SUPPER Tills Week's Slogan Sewers Salem has become the "Sewer City." Without doubt Salem has the champion long distance smell ing sower outlets In the world. People living along Front and Wa ter streets, rather than complain ing about the sewer outlets should be' proud. They can take their friends and visitors down to the river bank and show them - that Salem has this undisputed cham pionship sewed un in a sack, and strewn all along the gravel banks of the Willamette. We suggest that we put on a sewer outlet smelling competition at tho coming . state fair, wo bet the Salem city sewer outlets could give any other sewer outlet in the state a handicap of two odors and a whlf and still beat the- combined aggregation of nil other sewer outlets In Oregon by tnree or lour scents and a breeze. Salem hasn't won to this proud position In a single summer. We navo been developing it year alter year up to a point where we should exploit It to the world. Since tha time .when Sam Simpson wrote the "Jieauuiut 'Willamette, there have been many changes In the grand old river, but none so pronounced. nono so striking, none so full of deep nnd soulful meaning to the residents along its banks. Let's all give three reeks and a stench to the grand old river! And three stenches and a reek to the city council that keeps us ever in the forefront as the champion nose plugger of the universe, . ... Old Songs In New Dress. Just a field of new mown hay; Just a cottage by the way; , Just a dugout deep, to . shield us from all harm; ' Just a still to make the moon, From the logan or the prune: Just a dear, old-fashioned, country noine; Down On the Farm. We note style sheets say that skirts are to be above the knees. We pot funny when we read that and said to one of the girls in the on ice, rney ii be hip hip 'urnh skirts by next spring." ."Hip, hip, 'urnothing, you mean," she came back, just like that. Skirts above the knees, So fashion now decrees; Make the chappies look at chap pies, Whero they never grew before, O the sights that we will see, With the skirts above the knee; There'll be knees you cannot sec through. And others like a door. Bakers Unable To Tell How Hop Malt Used Here; Not Suitable For Bread Solution to problems like the disappearance of Alme Semple Mc pherson, the murder of Sylvia Gaines and the like are nothing compared to the baffling mystery that surrounds the disappearance of 1000 cases of hop malt and plain malt, representing a total of exactly 30,000 pounds of the ma terial, a sufficient quantity to make 60,000 gallons of home brew if It were used for that purpose, right here In the city of Salem. Statistics were complied the mid dle of this week showing that amount to havo been used this summer, purchasers and retailers both declaring that It Is used In making wholesome foods, largely bread. A series of conferences with Sa lem bakers yesterday afternoon, however, had th eresult of casting some doubt on this phase of the situation, and tended unmistakably to show that, If the malt extract bought locally Is used In bread making, Salem housewives havo suddenly Introduced an innova MEEKER HERE III INTEREST OF OREGON TRAIL 96 Year Old Pioneer For mer Hop King of Wil , lamette Valley MEMORIAL COINS TO BE SOLD HERE Proceeds to Go to Mark ing and Improving Ox team Highway Ezra Meeker, 96 years old and going strong, Btopped In Salem for a few. hours Saturday morning to pay his respects to A.

UP) Premier Poincare, by the publication of his drastic economic program calling for a "period of penitence," has re moved any doubt that he intends to try to stabilize the franc, without having recourse to foreign credits. Such credits cannot be obtained without first ratifying the Wash ington and London debt accords, at present impracticable, owing to the political situation In France. The feature of the premier's pro gram is an attempt to restrict Im ports of wheat by forbidding the sale of fresh bread; by restricting speculation In wheat production of the cereal. Other- measures of the premier aid at the stopping of waste and the lowering of prices. Restaurants will be forbidden to serve more than two principal courses, ns dur ing the war, and committees will be appointed to watch all branches of the provisions trade, so as to pro vent manipulation of prices and at tempts to corner foodstuffs. tion well nigh unknown to the bak ing profession. In a word, It seems that hop malt Is not ordinarily used In mak ing bread at all. The bakeries use a malt product known as dlamalt, one of the by-products from bar ley. It, is put out by the same com panles that manufacture yeast.- Although bakeries use barrels of dlamalt, there has been no retail demand for It, this summer or any other time. It would sell for less than the other product. "Perhaps that hop malt may be better than I think It Is for bread baking," was the comment offered yesterday by one baker of more than a score of years experience In making the staff of life, "but I'm convinced that hop malt wouldn't do very well for bread baking, any more than this would do for mak Ing beer." The question of why Salemltes who have, during the dry summer months, decided to examine into the technicalities of bread baking, Continued on Pare NlnM Pioneer Here BUTLER QUITS AS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR New York, Aug. 21.
