PETERS DENIES E Ieajler of Sect in Alhanv Says No Marks Were Made hy Memhers LETTKRS SAID TO MEAN CHRIST'S COMINC Cottaue (Jrove Woman Of fers Explanation for Puzzling Marks llutt the mtmlnTa of thr AlHiatolir Faith are n it renponaihle for the mya terioua inarVs on thr doorcaain.'a of Orcron hun:e ia thr claim of Uhbe Pcti-m, leader of thr faith in Linn county. Aaked an to thr truth of the report that the memlvra of hia sect had placed the marka on the Albany hornet Mr. Pet -m paid: "If thr memU-m of my faith had made any auch marks I would aurelv know of it. I have made none myself and am certain thnt non of my breth ren hae done so. There is no mark on my own door." It is poaaildr, however, that some other religious sect is responsible for thr mysterious markings. A speciul diftpnti'h from Cottne (Jrove to the Morning Oreyonian is of interest in this connection. The despatch fol lows : COTTACK CROVE, Aur. 15 Spe Ial. A plausible explanation of the jicculiar markiiii which have appear ed uj.on house in nearly all ci'tTea of 'hr valley is nmde by Mm. F. C. Ral ston, of this city. Some of thr houses here bear tho letter (I, but moat of them bear thr Vttcr (', with embellishment that form a crons, while a few benr a fetter S incloncd in pnrent)nes nmf at ill tthers Irenr the letter and fiurvs S30. Mrs. Ralxton's explanation is that the i sUinds for God, thnt the C with he cross stands for "the cominir of Christ" and that the marking S30" means Septemler 30, the date of his cominjr. Mrs. Rulxton snys that there has lecn nn-ent convention of n sect In Tort land and that the delegates have had time since their return home to the cities o the vnlloy to put these marl ines upon the houses. The peculiar markings were not Kenenilly noted here until Tuesday morning, although a nunfter of women report having seen the markings on their houses several weeks ago. Others are positive thnt the markings have !en put on recently nnd others nre certain they were put on Monday night A number of women were somewhat frightened when they first noted the Markings, but when it was found thev wore general over the city they were immediately laid to some religious fa natic or cam'nsscr.

The federal food administration provided special enrds for this purpose, and the record of every household purchasing sugar is 1 ept on this card by the merchant. At the end of the month these cards are all turned in by the merchants to the county food administrator, where the cards are tallied up and a record of every household for the month is set down in plain figures. This is done for everyone purchasing sugar in Linn county, whether they live in Linn- county or in an adjoining county. Any one purchasing more than their allot ment for household purposes, or abus. ing the privilege for canning purposes la subject to the penalty provided un der the food control act. The sugar shortnge in the United States is real nnd not imaginnry, ami the food administration is endeavoring to secure a fair and equable distribu tion.

CARD PARTY WILL HELP SUGAR FUND Albany People Invited to At ; tend Event at Elks Hall ' Next Tuesday Eve For the purpose of raising funds to pui .-!:; '? . r:ar for the canning kit chen, ti.e ..tional Defense League of Alh:..iy will stage a card party at the Elks hall next Tuesday night under the direction of Mrs. Percy R. Keffy.

Ship Submarined; Crew Reaches Port A NATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 16. U. P.

Permits will be required by the mcrchnnts for all sugar sold for canning purposes, even if it is the first L'5-j ound allotment These per mits arc obtained from the countv food administrator. An allotment has been made for ev ery state, and anyone buying in ex cess of their proper allowance of su enr is claiming a special privilege for himself at the expense of others. For the common good the food regula tions should be carefully observed bv everyone. "Food has now taken a dominnnt importance in the war. The Amer ican people must prepare themselves for more sacrifice than was at first thought necessary. The food supplv of the world is short, and getting shorter. You ennnot take 18,000.000 men out of production and put them into destruction of human products nnd still expect things to go on as before." ALFRE71 C. SCHMITT, County Food Administrator.
