A farm tractors' contest', something of great interest and importance to the up-to-date farmer and those who are striving to be up-to-date will be one of the big educational features at the state fair this week, beginning this morning and continuing every morning and aft ernoon throughout the week. In this contest every standard make of tractor will be put to the test, under difficul ties, and the prospective purchaser of interested spectator will bo able to judge for himself as to the merits of the several machines 11 in all. Through nn agreement reached by the several machinery firms making ex hibits of tractors at the fair, yesterday afternoon, and the granting of permis sion by Secretary-Manager Lea of the fair board, to use the inside field of the race track, about 40 aereB, as a demon stration field, ull tractors on the grounds will participate in a plowing contest and demonstration at 10:30 in the morning and 4:30 in the afternoon and these demonstrations will continue Tor one and one-half hours. Each dem onstration will be preceded by a parade between the machinery hall and the new pavilion at 10 a. m. and 4 p. m., respectively. The firms of exhibitors and the make of tractor which each will put in the demonstration follow: Holt Manufac turing company the Holt Caterpillar Western Farquhar Machinery company, the C. S. Best Tracklayer, the Wallace Cub and the Sampson Sieve Grip; Free man & Sons, the Creeping Grip; J. I.

Wade & Co., the Heider, and Hughson & Mor ton, the Bull Tractor. All of the stand ard makes and a great variety of "bot toms ' in plows, from - to 4, will be used in the demonstrations. I Notes of the Fair. One of the big educational attrac tions of the children's industrial de partment, in the south end of the old ' pavilion, is the school girls' canning contests which will be conducted in a large booth in the center of the main aisle. There are teams from five conn ties entered in this contest and demon strations will be made each day, with the canning of tomatoes, and the pro' ducts of the demonstrations will be on exhibition at all times. The counties entered in this contest are; Was' Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Douglus and Clatsop and each team will be com' posed of five girls winners in the can ning contests in their respective coun tics. Clatsop count' and Columbia county nrp thi two Infest counties to have ent- jered the county agricultural and indus- tnal contest between counties at the fair. There are 20 counties and two cities participating in thi-s contest this year, by for the greatest number and county exhibits and the most, represen tative ever made at the state fair, and the competition for the prizes will be close and spiritel. Some of the counties making displays in this division are: Malheur, Polk, Clackamas, Douglas, Sherman, Morrow and Wasco, besides those above mentioned. The general arrangement in the educa tiunal and industrial departments in the old pavilion, is very much improved over last year and previous years by 'the removal of all obstructions in the main aisle at the entrance to the pavil- I ion which gives a clear view of the in terior of the pavilion and the exhibits ' on each side of the aisle. There are more individual children's exhibits in this pavilion this year than ever before, enough to fill a big county booth. Superintendent E. F. Cnrleton, of the educational industrial department is principally responsible for the high or der of excellence and big representa tion in all these classes and it is the principal educational feature of the state fair. The boys' camp, under the supervision of J. V. Fike, of Salem, and and the girls' camp, under the ehoper onage of Mrs. C. . Harrington, of Su lem, Mrs. Seymour, of Dullns, and Mrs. JN. C.

SHINE WITH StltlWlA AND SAVE Wr, J E0MI SIT Former Republicans Tell Why They Are Wilson Supporters OF Industrial Leaders To Move , Vote of "No Confidence" in Chancellor By Carl W. Ackerman (United Press staff correspondent) Berlin, Sept. 27. The stormiest ses sion of the rcichstug since the begin' ning of the war was foreshadowed to day in discussions in the Berlin hotels by members who arrlwd lor the open ing session tomorrow. Dr. Coei'ting, nn Industrial leader from Hanover, will move a vote of no confluence jin Chancellor Von Heth- maun-Hollweg. Coerting represents one of the ( enter party groups, waging war on the chancellor. (A voto of no confidence in the Gorman reiihstng does not carry the significance attack ing to similar action in most European parliaments, where such nil expression of displeasure is followed by tho res ignation of the ministry.) The absence of Dr. Llebkneriit, rad ical socialist, arrestett several weeks ago for tuking part In a disturbance in Berlin, will certainly not contribute to a calm session, though Liebknci-ut was probably the reiehstag's most dis turbing member. Other opponents of the government are ready to furnish attacks as soon as the bars arc let clown tor debate. The chancellor will address the reiih stag at 3 p. in. on subjects not yet re vealed. The voting of war credits and Germany's future policy toward Kng land will be the chief topics of the tiiree weeks session. The conservatives are pleased at the results of the latest Zeppelin raids and will demaml an even more severe anti- English campaign. Salem Boys Pleased With Regular Army The Snlem boys who have enlisted in the regular army seem to be well satisfied with their venture into the big outside world. Frank M. Lock man, who was enlisted in Snlem by Sergeant Shuster, writes from Ft, A v . : :t 'J f- Thomas A. Edison, World's greatest Inventor: ' Wilson has given us , peace with honor. Hughes' talk aboui the United States being despised is nonsense. Neutrality is a mighty trying policy, hut back of it are international law, the. rights of humanity and the future of civilization. With reference to Mex ico, I think the president has acted wisely, justly and courageously. It was right that the Unite. 1 Slates should not have recognized such a murderous personality as iluerlu. I do nut think we should have intervened, nor do 1 believe thnt we should intervene now. Mexico is a troublesome neighbor just now, but war and conquest is not go ing to mnke her a better one. Both against Kiigland and against human slavery the United Stntes worked out its salvation through revolution and it was a pretty slow, trying process." Bainbridge Colby, Progressive leader: "The record of the president is a veritable claim for such support upon all sincere progressives which the latter cannot consistently ignore or deny. Particularly is this true, as the opposition to the presidents reelection proceeds from an uniegeiicruted repub licanism thut has weathered the dun- PRESIDENT WILSON ger of reform, reabsorbed its most vo ciferous critic, and ubandoned itself again to reaction." Henry Ford, who carried the repnl liciin primaries of several states for president: " Put it ns strongly as you like that I am a supporter of Wilson! The conn try is prosperous mid we arc at peace with the world. What more could wo ask!" Irvis 8. Cobb, author and war cor respondent, wiio knows conditions in, Kurope from pcrsonul observance siiKO the wur began, enys: "President Wilson hns preservod Amerieiin rights without sacrificing; American lives; ho has won by diplo macy and statesmanship what , heavy guns could not havo won." Luther Iliiibniik, tho plant wizard, has diseurded his life-long republican faith to vote for Wilson. "Our grcut cst president since Lincoln," is Bur bank 's view. Ami these are onlv a few instance among many hundreds of the foremost men anil women of the United States, who have heretofore voted with tti republican party. (I'uid Adv.) Mason, ( ulif., as follows: 'l am writing to thank you for en-1 listing me in the signal corps of the j army and for putting mo in line forj the excellent opportunities the army! offers.' At Ft. Mason 1 was put with! a de'tuehnient of signul men. Wo arc engaged in the transport service and' the operation of the government 's store house here and Sun Francisco. The men here arc ngrecvbln and a sociable lot of men. 1 am looking after the signal corp store room and have about two' hours work each morning and then I am through for tho day. 1 have been using iny spare time taking a business course and also the govern ment's course of study in army regula tions und telegraphy. The army ra tions are as good as ony "feeds" that can be purchased on the outside.

I have met a number of Salem boyn at Ft. McDowell und they are nil pleased and as enthusiastic over tho army us 1 am." A woman went into a New York po lice stution und begun reading the Biblo to the officers In charge. She was ar rested promptly and taken to the Bolle vue hospital iusiino ward, and subjected to observation. This recalls the -story of the man who went to Westminster Abbey and knelt in tho aisle to pray. Up ran a verger, who collared the. kneeling man nnd proceeded to turn hiiu over to the police.
