Schulderman, corporation commissioner, regarding the proposition of the Reeds port Bhin company to sell unit' 'shares or certificates in a ship, Attorney Gen eral Brown today said "that the unit certificate plan would be doing a trust business and the company would be trustee for the money paid in by the purchaser of a share, and therefore it would be necessary for the company to incorporate under the -trust; company act of 1917." 165 ENLISTMENTS-; ... San Francisco, Aug. 1. One hundred and sixty-five men haveenlisted in the regular army here in the last 24 hours, the largest number of applicants the of fice has had in a single day. record of machination and intrigue will there be recorded such a story of propa ganda as the kaiser and his ministers worked on Russia. Pseudo-socialists ca joled and coaxed Russia's true liberals I to make a separate peace; troops at the j front fraternized under orders; the uerman socialist party was deceived into trying to jockey the Russian party members into a German inspired gather ing at StockholnijUnder guise of "an in ternational meeting. ' ' Thousands of Germany's spies wormed their way into Russia and emboldened by the freedom of thought and of speech permitted in Russia even went so far as to make ' speeches in the public streets urging 1 peace. Germany worked on exiles r- tuiuing to Russia to aid hr intrigue. She had agitators stationed in Petro grad. Millions of money must have been poured into this work. Yet Russia Survived. 1 And through it all, Russia survived. On July 1, General Brusiloff started a major offensive, with Minister of War Kerensky personally leading the reviv ed troops of the new nation. They swept forward in Galicia tearing dow the Austro-German lines. Germany was thenj thoroughly alarmed. She sent reinforce-. mcnts to this front and she redoubled , her efforts to create dissention in Bus !sia itself. Nnmerous reports seemed to indicate conclusively that it was German money that produced the revolt in Petrograd beginning July 8. Adherents ot tne no torious Nicholas Lenine, subsequently proved a German agent, with malcon tents of sinster purpose, joined in an effort to tear down the slowly building democracy. Once again Petrograd Btreets were dyed with the blood of those who fell in street riots. But the govern ment survived and began house clean ing of the disturbing elements. Kerensky Saves The Day. ' Out of all Russia 'a chaos there has apparently risen a Savior of the dem ocracy. He is A. F. Kerensky, barely in his thirties,with a frail physique and body racked with illness. He has been named, the "Lloyd George of Russia." In methods and in his dynamic energy he closely, resembles England's Man of the Hour.- He is a socialist; more than that of peasant birth. Every element in Russia knows his honesty of purpose and trusts him. It was Kerensky who saved the or iginal duma cabinet; it was Kerensky who reorganized the war ministry; it was Kerensky who stopped fraternizing on the fronts and who by hs personal leadership, in the trenches, inspired the troops to fight; it was Kerensky who in the moment of dark rebellion in July struck hard and fast and quelled the revolt. Now he is a power in Russia. Today Russia is being aided by Am erican transportation experts' to unkink j myriad twists of her railways; .lapan lis eivine her munitions and guns: Eng land is lending her "tanks"; Belgium is contributing armored automobiles. Brusiloff has started where he left off in 19 W ill the drive against Lemberg. The government is smoothing out. De mocracy .in speaking aloud; autocracy is dead. TRY JOURNAL WANT -ADS Rating Bureau Will Make Inspection Tour of Salem Properties In order to give credit to those Salem people who corrected fire haz ards as pointed out to them by the state fire marshal 's department" as a result of the - recent fire inspection tour, the Oregon Insurance Rating Bureau will re-survey the city so it can reduce rates. Th$ request for a re-survey was made by Commissioner Wells on request of Mayor Keyes and Chair man McGilchrist of the fire prevention Committee. The bureau has written to the insurance commissioner as follows: ."We will, therefore, at our earliest convenience send our surveyors to Salem to make a complete check-up and re-inspection of the town, and if there are any changes or improvements that affect the individual risks, we shall be glad to allow any credit to which such improvements would entitle them." Commissioners Wells says he would like to see changes in the rates on out lying dwellings. AMERICANS GET WAR CROSS.

Following the war, every man who is killel.nbroad will bo gent to this coun try and placed at tho disposal of his relatives or friends lor interment. Even should tho conflict continue for several years it will be possible, at that time, under the present plan, to recognize the bodies of the dead heroes. Memory of the horrible condition of the bodies sent home for burial follow ing the clash between American blue jackets and Mexicans in Vera Cruz sev eral years ago, caused Dr. Howard 8. Eckels of Wyucote, and Or. Jay H. Mowbray of Swarthmore, to devise a plan for caring for the bodies of the soldiers and marines killed in Europe. Accordingly, a lew weeks ago the American I'urple Cross association was formed and incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. Dr. Eckels was named director general; Major Gen oral J. Lewis Good, treasurer,aud Dr. Mowbray field director. The association active membership is "limited to those who have made eare of bodies their life profession, and to those affiliated in dustries. ' The trustees and other offi cials are prominent men of the coun try, including governors and million aire officials of large manufacturing plants. liovenunent indorses nan Discovering that no modern system had been devised by government offi cials lor taking care oi; the soldier dead in France, officials of the Ameri can Purple Cross association immedi ately, held a conference with Secretary of War Baker .and presented a plan that promised to revolutionize and re move one of the most grewsome fea tures from modern wsrf nre.' It was first suggested that the Am erican Purple Cross association should bear the same relation to the quarter master general 's department as the Hod Cross does to the medicul department. Major General Henry G. Sharp, quar termaster general of tho United States army, greeted tne pinn wiin enmusi asm and a series of conferences, cover ing the best part of a week, were held in his Washington offices- Dr. Eckels ana Dr. Moworay made tho following offer to the government: otter to finance nan "We will furnish such number of enibalmers for the preservation of the bodies of soldiers killed in battle or dying in hospitals as you may deem necessary for trie purpose. "Wie will divide these into such units as you may direct. N , ' "Wo will emiin and train., these men. "We will furnish such number of automobile ambulances as will be nec essary for this service. "We will pay all expenses incident to their equipment, training, transporta tion and umintnanco.

The plan of the association lias now been accepted and tomorrow Dr. Mow- bray -and Dr. fccaeis win gu to s ington for another conference with war department officials, when, it is ex- pecled, a "i" win e ra "i entation to congress for the acceptance of the American Purple t russ associa tion as an auxiliary ot the quartermas ter 'general's department- Although no official announcement ,le. it is said that the pres idency of the organization will b of fered President Wilson; tnai oecrciaiy Baker and Secretary Daniels will be named vice presidents, and that either the treasurer of the United States or some other high government official will be selected as treasurer, who will handle all funds.

First of the Month . lit u l L IlP I i. for YOURSELF and BOY We Will Treat Your Right Prices the Lowest Quality the Best M I i AT ' - B MI'S The House That Guarantees Every Purchase. The House With a Conscience THE CORNER STORE STATE and LIBERTY Why Amerimaii House wives Should Dry Fruits and Vegetables By George Martin (United Press staff correspondent) (Following is the first of a series of S stories on war food conservation through the drying of fruits and vege tables in the home. The series is based on a special department of agricultur al report and in reality constitutes a short course in this method of food con servation for the Ainoricau housewife. Editor.) Washington, Aug. 1. Uncle Sam, through his department of agriculture, today expressed the belief that ono of the best ways American housewives can help conserve our food supply is by drying fruits and vegetables at home. His experts have prepared a short course in this food saving system, so popular among grandmothers of the Am erican housewives of today. It is de signed to suit, your kitchen, no matter how small or large your domestic es tablishment may be. The importance attached to the plan by the Grand Old Man of the Stars and Stripes is seen in his statement that you are efficiently following the na tion's food conservation policy if you slice and dry so much as a single carrot purchased when carrots are in season and cheap. This first story is to tell you why fruit and vegetable drying at home is important. The other seven articles, all short and to the point, will tell you principles and methods of drying, how to prepare various foods for drying; home made apparatus you need, detail ed directions for drying, precautions against insects, how to pack, and store dried foods and, recipes for cooking them tastily. , Uncle Sam believes you should buy fruits and vegetables and dry them when they are in season and cheap, be cause they will constitute a reserve supply and cut your food bill later when things are higher. In Europe dried foods are one of the'1 biggest items of food conservation. All surplus fruits and vegetables in city markets are dried in municipal drying plants. Other government plants are built in the trucking regions. Itinerant-drying machines go from farm to farm in other sections. Dried foods are very good- Many housewives even today prefer dried sweet corn to canned. Dried pumpkin and squash nre excellent for pies. Siuip beans strung on threads ana dried above the stove aro fine. This country is producing enormous quantities of perishable foods this year which can tie saved entirety u tne sur plus is dried. Yon, can help do this. On farms, where root cellars and canning facilities are bettor, it is bet ter to preserve foods in those ways. The drying methods apply particularly to town and city homes, where storing facilities are scarce and cans and glass jars expensive- Dried foods will not freeze and can bo shipped more conveniently than canned foods in winter. With simple and inexpensive facili ties, housewives everywhere can save quantities of food too small to can. A few sweet potatoes, apples, peas or ev en a single turnip can nc (uicii ami saved. This would soon give yon enough for a meal. Small lots of cabbage, carrots, turnips, potatoes and onions, saved by drying, can be combined tor soups and stews.
