L. P. Swan, of the Cliampoeg Flour
ing Mill, was here yesterday on business
Mr. Swan has been in the milling busi
ness many years, and has seen some
marvellous changes in wheat prices, all

MOTHERHOOD
WOMAN'S JOY
Suggi
estions to Childless
Women.
Among the virtues of Lydia E.
Pir.kham's Vegetable Compound is the
ability to correct sterility in the
cases of many women. This fact is
well established as evidenced by the
following letter and hundreds of others
we have published in these colums.
Poplar Bluff, Mo. "I want other
'women to know what a blessing Lydia
I jj. & uiniiaiu a " f-
table Compound has
been to me. We
had always wanted
a baby in our homo
but I was in poor
health and not able
to do my work. My
mother and hus
band both urged me
to try.Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound. I did
so, my health im
proved and I am now the mother of a
Ene baby girl and do all my own house
vork."-Mrs. Aixia B. Timmons, 216
Almond St., Poplar Bluff, Mo.
In many other homes, once childless,
there are now children because of the
fact that Lydia E- Pinkham'a Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
health and strong
Write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cine Co., Lynn, Mass., for advice it
nill be confidential and helpful.
The great demand of the present day
is for books of a technical nature
works on aeronautics, navigation, avia
tion, mathematics and treatises on ga
engines, according to Miss Cornelia
Marvin, state librarian. Bequests for
these books are coming from all parts
of the stato. And besides the technical
books the call is for works treating on
me activities or tne nca Iross.
Second to the call for works tech
meal treating on subjects brought to
the public mind by the war, is the do
mand for historical and patriotic books
.miss Marvin says.
Tho trend of public thought is first
reflected through the calls made by the
public at the state library. ' The pres
ent change in reading is also due to
the needs of the government for men
of some technical knowledge especial
ly of machinery, and this is reflected
in the civil service examinations. Tho
civil service is calling for mechanics
ana tne reading is apparently to qual
ify for these examinations.
Ordered 40.000
To keep up with this demand, the
state public library is constantly buy
ing new books. The library is for the
piiblic and about all that is necessary
10 gee a ijook is to write ana make the
request. The library also furnishes in
formation as to what books are pub-
nsnea on any certain suDject.
Miss Marvin yesterday completed
sending in the orders for the 40,000
books to be purchased bv the public
schools this year. The state law pro
vides tnat eaen county may make a
levy to purchase books once a year,
this levy to be not less than ten cents
per capita of the school children in
the district. The list from which the
counties may select is prepared by Miss
Marvin, and the publishers must de
liver the books to each county by Oc
tober 27.
The value of the books for the Ma
rion county schools outside of Salem is
$900.49 and for the city of Salem
$423.82. Polk county schools will or
der $399-15 worth of books and alias
will receive new library books to the
value of $125.81.
Send Books to Soldiers
' 'Let your idle books help the sol
diers and the, best means of getting
them where they will do the most good
is not by sending them direct to the
soldiers," said Miss Marvin, "but in
sending them to the local library,
where they will be collected and tor
warded to shipping points. By this
means all books will be put up in con
venient traveling library packages and
sent to cantonments and to France."
Circular letters have been sent to all
libraries in the state asking them to
collect books and torward to conven
ient shipping points. Hence, those who
have books tor soldiers, should send to
tho local library. If there is no loci
Iibry, send to the state, library. In
sending out these traveling libraries,
soldiers on the Pacific coast will be
taken care of first.
Any person can get a book from the
state library. That the people of the
state are availing themselves of this
privilege is shown by the number sent
daily by mail and express. From 3000
to 4000 volumes are sent out every
month in response to individual re
quests and as many more go out in the
traveling libraries.
Salem will be well represented at the
Pacific Nortrwest Library association,
to meet in its eighth annual conference
at Portland September 3, 4 and 5. On
the program for the first day's session
is the report of Miss Marvin, the pres
ident. She will preside at all sessions.
Miss Flora M. Case, librarian of the
Salem library, will be in charge of the
discussions of "Public libraries"'1 inl
the Round Table conference. Miss Euth
Paxson, librarian of the city public
schools will road a paper on ' 'the Ele
mentary schools" in the conference
session.

This tiny bottle . holds
the wonder of wonders. It

is a compound made from

Apply a few drops of

soreness disappears and
shortly you. will find the
corn or callus so shriveled
and loose that you just
lift it off with the fingers
It doesn't hurt one parti

ness when applying freez
one or afterwards- It does
not even irritate the skin.
Just ask . in any drug
store for a small bottle of
freezone. This will cost
but a few cents but will
positively rid your , poor,

corn between the toes, or the tough

Salem Boy Writes
of His Experiences
In Uncle Sara's Navy
The wide travel of a navy man is
shown in a letter from Harold H. Smith,
of this city, to Machinist J. E. Adams,
in charge of the navy recruiting sta
tion here. Young Smith enlisted four
months ago and was sent to the training
station at San Francisco where he re
mained three weeks. Then he was ship
ped out on the U. S. S. San Diego and
began his travejs about the Pacific and
Atlantic until he has landed in New
York harbor and is anchored near
Brooklyn Bridge.
"Our first cruise was over to Hono
lulu," he says in his letter, "to- con
voy a German ship which had been in
terned there to Bremerton. We were
out seventeen days, which passed quick
ly. We laid in Frisco bay for a few days
on our return, then left for San Diego
where we were several days at rifle
practice and gun drill.
"We left there July 19 for 'some
where' but we did not know where. We
passed through the Panama canal July
29. Believe me, it was some hot for a
Irevette, near the home of Mrs. Alice
Stephenson. Mr. Murray was there, also

The Iron Cross Gave .
Him the Double Cross
San Fraircisco, Aug. 17. An iron
cross found among his effects proved
the undoing of Lieutenant Erwin
Schneider, of the German navy, who
was interned at Fort McDowell today
by order of President Wilson. Theodore
Kassinger a former stfire clerk here,
was interned with him. Schneider is
suspected of being an important Ger
man spy.
He tried to enlist in the aviation
corps of the United States army' recent
ly. He has been under surveillance since
he was found to be assisting four Aus
trians, believed enemy agents, in at
tempting to gain military information.
-A few weeks ago Schneider tried to
ship on a Swedish ship and thus get
back to Germanv.

SOCIALISM FAILURE
Russian Socialists Generally,
Realize Need of Other
Elements
(By William O. Shepherd)
(United PresB Staff Correspondent)
IMoscow, Aug. 17. Socialism has
failed in Russia.
Premier Ketensky has recognized the
fact and the great conference here on
August 23 will mark the end of the
pau-socialistio rule of Russia and th
entrance of new elements of conserva
tion in commerce and finance.
Socialists themselves, and Kerensky
is one, realize that they failed in their
attempt to govern single handed. This
was partly because the cities of Russia
are socialistic and the country conser
vative and also because the peasants
refused to sell food to the cities, declar
ing money was of no use to them be
cause of the high prices in the cities.
In addition the socialists in the cities
were involved in continual quarrels
among themselves. This resulted in the
July troubles and killings in Petrogiad.
In addition, there was too much of an
attempt to govern behind the scenes
without assuming responsibility by hav
ing a majority of socialists in the gov
ernment. Fears of a return to monarchy in Rus
sia are nonsense, all agree here today.
A republic is inevitable, although ru
mors of monarchial plots persist and
resulted in the removal of the Roman
offs to Siberia.
With this state of affairs, Kerensky 's
recognition of the failure of Russian
socialism is regarded as having firmly
established his greatness. The mind
no observer oj1 Russian affairs has fail
ed to realize that the sort of socialism
that some hope and others fear, may
rule the world some day, must be dif
ferent. Socialists, themselves, are disillusion
ed. I have heard a score of American
socialists say that to meet with success,
socialism must be brought up to date
and made more practical.
Railroads Will Give
One and One-Third Rate
to the State Fair
In announcing today that all of tho
railrods of the state will give a one
and a third fare to state fair visitors
traveling over their lines, A, H. Lea, I
secretary ot the state lair board, said
that he had also asked the Southern
Pacific and Oregon Electric railroad
companies to put on a special night
train from the fair grounds to Portland
during t'uir week.
"1 have suggested that both put on
a special train that will leave the
grounds at 10 o'clock at night for Port
land," said Secretary Lea. "Such' 4
Bervice would enable Portland visitors
to tiro fair to attend the night enter
tainments, and arrivo in Portland in
ample time to catch tho street cars
tor their homes."
The railroads who have advised Sec
retary Lea that they will give a one
and a third passenger fare are: the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi
gation company, the Bout hern Pacific,
the Oregon Electric, the Great North
ern, the Union Pacific, the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon Short Line.
The railroad companies some time
ago advised the secretary that they
would transport exhibits to and from
tho fair free, provided they are return
ed to the originating point within a
certain time.

National Guardsmen of New
England May Go With
First Division
Washington, Aug. 17 The second
Rainbow division composed of national
guard troops from each New England
stato, will soon go abroad. It may leave
simultaneously with the first Rainbow
division.
Supplies are being gathered for both
divisions and the rapidity with which
these are collected and the availability
of transports will determine the time
of leaving.
Major Geneial Clarence Edward, com
mander of tho northeastern department
with headquarters at. Boston, will be
commander of the second division.
The Now England forces collected
for the second division will probably
not be sent to southern camps at all.
Some of the Now England men were
originally picked to go in General
Mann's first division, but it was decid
ed it would bo better to keep the New
England troops together. According to
present plans, some of the second divis
ion may embark with the first.
Small detachments of the national
guard are now moving to southern
camps, but the general movements will
not start for about another week. War
department estimates indicate that the
last of the guard camps will be ready
by September first.
The second division will Includo all
of tho New England troops who were
intended for the Charlotte, N. C. camp.
"Shoot to Kill" Orders
Are Given Sentries
Camp Fremont, Menlo Park, Aug 17.

to halt.
Two prowlers were discovered near
the San Francisquito creek bridge and
six shots were fired at them by sentriei
while other persons with no apparent
good object in the camp have been
