Polk Wins More Priies.

The Polk eounty court on Tuesday awarded the Polk County Fair associa tion 42,000 for the purpose, of carrying on the fair the coming year. In pre vious years the amount secured from the county was hardly sufficient to de fray the expenoes of the holding of the fuirs as a large part of tho money had to be spent on buildings.. The Dallas Commercial . club has loaned the fair board several amounts during tho past years to pay all debts but with the increase from the county court and the state appropriation the fair can this coming year be put on a paying basis. Delegations from the several commer cial bodies throughout tho county were responsible ,for the increuso they ap pearing before the court at its last ses sion and petitioned for the raise.

Governor Withycqmbo in his address suggested that the- farmers should be more in love with country life. Instead of toiling and saving to be able to move to town they should build modern homes and eventually retire in the country.

Heretofore, the iiiyh school stu dents have given entertainments in the way of plays not quite so ambitious as the "Servant in tho House," but this year the student body feels that a standard play would best show the pro gress being made by the pupils in pub lic sneaKing ana acting. Hard times have very little to do with the treasury of the student coun cil. At the last meeting Treasurer Davis reported over $500 real money in the bank, waich is coins some for high school students. However, this year is a record breaker when it comes to the bank account. Much of this ready money is due to a successful foot ball year, as in former years, football was charged to profit and loss, with tne emphasis ou the loss. Another means of income is the school news paper, "The Clarion," which is now on a firm financial basis. The, paper is issued twice a month and is fast gnining in interest as well as circula tion. The malingers and editorial stnti feel they have set a high standard for coming newspaper youths who will have charge of "The Clarion," as the paper is now equal to many college publications. ,The Christmas number wili be issued in a double size. Since The Clarion" has been published in a newspaper form, the advertising has materially increased. Basketball practice will soon bo un der full swing. The old men of last vear who arc back and who are going out are Snicks Ratcliff, Cox Gill, Monk t'roetor and Hubey Ratcliff. With these men and only one new player to be chosen, Salem's prospects for a championship are encouraging. TeamB to Be played and dates are as follows: McMinuville, December 17,- at Salem. McMinnville, February 25, at Me- .Yiinnvme. Alumni, Deceiiiber 23, at Salem. Astoria, February 1, at Salom. Astoria, January 15, at Astoria. Eugene, February 4, at Salem. Eugene, January 7, at Eugene. Vancouver, January 14, at Vancouver. Manager Steusloff has written to several other schools for dates and as soon as word from these schools is re eeived, the definite dates for the win ter will be announced. Churches Will Have A Friendly Contest VILLISTA LEADER E Out-generals Forces Sent to Crush Him and Surrounds His Pursuers The Leslie and Jason Lee Methodist churches are entering into a contest to increase the enrollment in the Sunday schools. Beginning .Tnnnnrw 1st Vinth Sunday schools will launch out oil a campaign for new members, the con test to close at the end of February. Three things will decide who has won in the contest. First the largest number of new members gained during that time; to determine from what point thiy are to start both schools will divide the at tendance on the last Sunday of Decem ber, by the total enrollment and this number multiplied by one hundred, thus giving the per cent. Then the largest increase over and above that per cent will be counted. The second part of the contest is the lurgest per cent of, offerings. The third is the regularity of attendance of members. Those on tho committee who have chargo of the contest are: Leslie Church Mr. .1. Barber, Mrs. Mason Bishop, Miss Jossie Kooreman. Jason Lee Church Mr. C. M. Roberts, Mr. R. A. Harris, Miss Newmann. Bonds of the Allies .Touch Lowest Point New York, Dec. 9. Bonds, covering the $500,000,000 loan to the allies sold down to 95 today, the lowest point they have reached since they were is sued. It was rumored that investors were not tnking them up as well as had been oxpected and that this was in part re sponsible for tho low level. Tho life of tho Morgan syndicate en gnged in floating the bonds expires on Tucsdny, and it may have half of the loan left at that time. J. P. Morgan is reported to be try ing to induce banks to hold their al lotments for a time to prevent a bad slump in price which might follow sud den unloading.

Chief Deputy Bute Highway En gineer Cantine wont to Portland to day to attend the conference of the county judges and commissioners of the stato which began this morning. Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 9. General Rod riguez, the Villista leader in Sonora, has staged a "come back." He has apparently out genernlled the foroes seeking to crush him, and this afternoon they are on the defensive. Seven hundred Carranzistas who were rushed south to save another Carrnnza force reported surrounded by rebels are stranded at San Joaquin. . The rebels are attacking the troop train's escort and may capture the en tire detachment. While General Gomez, in charge of the 700, was wiring Agua Prieta pleading for help, the wires were cut, breaking his message. Meanwhile there are tewer than 1,U0U soldiers left in Agua Prieta, and the town's commanders far that tho Vil listas will concentrate their supposedly scattered forces and swoop down on it. Skirmishing is in- progress along 20 miles of the Naeozari railway, with rebels having all the better of it, ac cording to fragmentary information. Another Carranza detachment is re ported hurrying toward Fronteras to re lieve the government troops driven out of that town by Rodriguez's raiders.

Druggists Seek Legal Methods of Denaturing Alcohol for Home Use Attorney General Brown today re ceived an inquiry from F. H. Bowersox, a Monmouth druggist, as to the legal methods for denaturing alcohol to rend er it unfit for use as a boverage and yet leave it non-poisonous. Mr. Bower sox explained that ho wished to offer alcohol for solo tor bathing and as nn antiseptic hut the usual method of mixing wood alcohol with grain ulcohol made the product a deadly poison. Attorney General Brown says tb question is whether or not tho alcohol can bo used as a beverage and guve as an unofficial opinion that any com pound that would render the mixture of ulcohol unfit for drinking purposes or internal uso would denature it within tho law. As tho Monmouth druggist Is a priv ate individual Mr. Brown cannot, ans wer his query direct but will ndvtoo the district attorney of Polk county of his opinion in the mutter since it is of general interest throughout the state. Iho U, M, internal revenue do partmont prescribes a number of form ulas for rendering alcohol unfit for a Dcverngc and sovcral of them are non poisonous.
