Thursday and Friday - Last Day at Home for First Contingent By George Martin (United Press staff correspondent) Washington, Sept. 4. This is the last day at home for the first 20,000 of America's drafted recruits. They are quitting their jobs, arrang ing their personal affairs and getting ready for the final goodby less than 24 honrs awny, after which they will be on their way to camp to learn to shoot guns and plunge bayonets in defense ! of their government. I They are all under orders to report 'in person to the members of the local I exemption boards which chose them. I By early afternoon the entire 206,000 i will be mobilized at exemption board j headquarters from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. After being shown to government .lodgings or given permission to upend tonight at home, the men will be at liberty until 5:30 p. m., when they will again be mobilized at headquarters of the local boards for retreat roll call, i At that time one member of each group will be chosen by the local boards to command the party on the way to camp All local boards have strict orders from the war department to watch tueir men carefullv and, in case any of them fall to report, or reporting, dis appear afterward, institute instant and vigorous search for them and turn them over to the United States army for trial and punishment as deserters. Thousands of mothers, sweethearts, niters, fathers and brothers accom panied the boys to local board head quarters today. In many places arrange ments had to be made to rope off suf ficient space around board headquar ters to mobilize and take account of the men. , An even greater mob of relatives and friends is expected "tomorrow, when the men Bay their final goodbys and are off to camp. Precautions wero taken by the gov ernment today to make sure that no drafted man escapes military service ill luia mm iuuuwmg giuujjs u.y mm i in- to camp with the others and disap ' Bearing on the way. ' each mobilization camp will be kept a list ot tho number of men eacn board is lo furnish. A copy of the men actually sent will go with the leader of each group and be checked up at the camp. And if for any renson the number of men is not right, or if any ot thorn have abandoned en route, tho , local board responsible for that group will have to iind the missing men ana also immediately send others next on their lists to take their places at camp, i "Only men actually reporting and finallv accepted for military service at the mobilization camp," says the .official order, "will be credited to the quota of any local board." Although passed and accepted, by the local boards, these 200,000 men will be subjected to a final, rigid physical ex amination by army surgeons at the mo bilization camps. None of them will be finally accepted for service until they have passed this examination, . It is probable rejections will be num erous at the mobilization camps, bc- . cause the local and district boards' or- .Invu o rn thai mkan fltctv irn ill .tfttlllf as to a man's fitness, he shall be ac cepted as fit. Also there will be a num ber of men who did not report for ex amination who were certified into the military serviee of the nation by the local boards who will not prove fit.

UNiVERSITT OF OREGON, Eusene, Oregon iFIGHT FOR HVE CENT LOAF IS SPREADING Organizations Serve Notice On Hoover That Price Must Come Down Washington, Sept. 4. The people's fight for a five cent war loaf has be gun throughout the nation. Organized labor, the American Home Economics association and other pow erful organizations, today served no tice on Herbert Hoover that cheaper bread is possible, vital and must be ac complished. The message was delivered through J. W. Sullivan of the American Feder ation of Labor, consumers' representa tive on the wheat price fixing commit tee. "The one cent difference between a five and si loaf loonies disproportion ately large ou the poor man," it said. "No sacrifices made by any one in this war. can equal those made by the poor man. High prices of bread his principal food strikes him hardest and becomes a terrific war tax on the mas ses of population that are least able to bear the burden." That a five cent loaw could be mar keted probitably with $2.20 wheat was the argument submitted by Henry J. Waters, president of the Kansas City Agricultural College when the wheat committee had bread prices under dis cussion. There is wide difference in his fig ures and those of the food administra tion, which said eight cent bread was tjio cheapest the housewives could ex pect. The food administration estimat ed bakers' patent on $2.20 wheat would cost between $10.35 and $11.25 per bar rel. Waters told the committee it would cost $9.28 out of which tho baker could produce three hundred fourteen ounce five cent loaves, leaving him $5.72 gross profit per barrel. Bakers' representatives ridicule these estimates as the work of "theorists" and place the costs much higher. They say the five cent loaf is impossible at $2.20 wheat. Nary, insists on tho maximum of tax ation of war profits. . The Minority Flan -"Briefly, the plan of the minority, which Was rejected by the senate in the vote upon my. amendment is to av erage the profits of a business for three years before the war, to deduct this full pre-war profit from profits made during the war and tax by seventy or eighty per cent the remainder. For instance, if in threo years preceding the war a corporation made profits re spectively of 75,OO0, $100,000 and $125,000, the average peace profit would be $100,000. If. during the war. the same concern made a profit of $200,000 a year, from this war profit would be deducted the $100,000 aver aee peace profits and tax would be levied ou the $100,000 excess war prof its. ' 'The group led by Penrose would take of war protits 31 per cent, ine group led by Borah and Hollis would take seventy to eighty per cent. We who favor high taxes on war profits insist tho expenses of war should be paid by those who prom oy war; mat the burden of taxation lies least heav ily upon the great mass of our people when taxation can ra laia upon enorm ous sums cornea out or our misxonune and our nation's perils; that when the supreme maximum sacrifice is requir ed of humanity at least some sacriiice should be required of the wealth made out of humanity s sacmiec; tnat we should not be lavish of our blood and tender of our dollars. "The answer made by Senator Pen rose and his followers is that by such taxes as we propose we injune business and prevent productivity and preclude the ordinary flux of industry. This we deny. England takes now X0 poreent of war profits and the financial experts of England say business was never bet ter nor profits greater. England's System Right "England took fifty per cent of her war profits the first year and we gave nnr hnsiiipns concerns 100 per cent: England took sixty per cent of her wn nrnfits the second year and 'we gave our people 100 per cent ; England took 80 per cent the third year and we, tremblingly and timidly, will take 31 per cent and give to those who made literally billions out of war travail and crises, practically seventy per cent of this year's war gains. "Every dollar we refuse to take to ilav from those fabulous war profits, profits wnicn gave tne pai-mms giuunu for calling tuis a corporation war, mum be paid ultimately by the small mer- hant and small property owner ana the average .citizen. Today we have a financial reservoir upon which to draw a reservoir of war profits which the people have created by tlieir patriotic outpouring of money to finance de mocracy's fight. The moment war ceas es, tnat moment imu rrw-iiuir Of course, those making these profits. cry 'wait, wait, wait.' "They mean that we shall wait un til they have stfcly pocketed-their war profits, until tne war nas enueu wuu unheard of liaoinries am ueins upu us all. . , , "Then the full bill must lie paia oy the small merchant and the average property owner, and when that time comes the merchant, the tradesman, the farmer and the onlinary property owner, as he sorrowiuuy gaes upuu u1D (lgaiu8t ,mawfu fiKarette smoking, swollen taxes, will wonder why he wasjThreB ymltlls w((re rolln,ied up the first indifferent and supine hen the endcav- dav The offi,.ern sav tliat th(ly are or was made to lighten his ourden and t(lrmined to t a 8t0 to minor(, k. to compel those who profited by war1. ..net ..-f tho eviifniPH rtf" I nl iu py j"t --r war." DOWNWARD MARKET (Continued from Page One.) cent olso produced a very unsettled feeling. None of our large business con cerns object to the appropriation of a liberal share of their extra profits to the purpose of war taxation. But large profits are positively needed by many of these eonctrns to offset extraordin ary risks and to provide capital for the expansion forced upon them by exigen cies of the war. It would be folly to distribute these profits as dividends 'THREE TEACHERS QUfTTHEIR JOBS five New Ones SelectedNo More Resignations to Take Better Positions The time for resignations of teach ers of the city schools who have con tracted for the coming year has passed, as the law enacted by tho hist legisla ture requires that all resignations be handed in at least 30 days before the beginning of the school term. Hence the three resignations pre sented to the school board last evening will probably be tho last, that is, if the teaejior intended to continue teach ing. There is no law against a teacher resigning if she or ho is thinking of getting married, or doesn't intend to teach any more. The three resignations presented to the board last evening were from Miss Daisy Carter of the' Highland school, Miss Charlotte Irene Snere of the Grant school and Miss Bertha Edwards of the high school. Resignations are always accepted by the school board as they have nothing else to do than to accept. : rt ,!jg The five new teachers elected arc: J. W. Lconhardt of Woodburn who will teach science and athleticB in tho junior high schools. His salary ig $!5 a month. Miss Alta'M. Patterson of Hayes ville will teach in the elementary grades and Miss :Floy A. Button also in the elementary grades, at $"5 a month. Mechanical drawing will be taught in the high school by Frank Strubble of Corvallis. His salary is $110 a month R. G. Heater of Newberg will bo head of all the physical training in tho schools. His salary is $110 a mouth. Miss Mollie Campbell thought she should have her salary raised from $90 a month to $95 and wrote the school board Suggesting the idea. The board couldn't see it, and tho little increase in salary was not granted. Tho installing of automatic program clocks in the different rooms to savo time in the calling of classes was sug gested by Superintendent Todd. As but three members of the school board were present, and there was no special big hurry about it; the suggestion was passed up until the next meeting. bid for the uecessary now capital at exorbitant rates. Moreover, immense sums are needed to finance daily trans actions at current high prices, not to speak of the heavy increase of costs of production in all lines. It is hoped, therefore that the government will be able to curb the radical tendencies in the legislature, which are not only un patriotic but will if persisted in inevit ably embarrass the government in its conduct of the war. Incidentally, it may be stated, the delay in the price fixing and revenue bill programs is a serious hindrance to business, Another factor of uneasiness has been! the gigantic appropriations, reported as' high as $20,000,000,000 for the current year. These are staggering figures. It is quite natural to wonder where such vast sums are to be obtained without injury to the development of industry. There is no reason, however, for exaggerated alarm. About $7,000,000,000 of this mon ey will be appropriated to our allies for expenditures here. Another big sum will go to the shipping board for new ships. Both these items must be regarded as assets, and the expenditures will stim ulate industry, at homo. Our own future outlays for the war are estiniatcd at about $10,000,000,000, which snm, huge as it may scein, is easily within our abil ity to meet, because it is'Bimply auth orized and will serve to carry the war well beyond the fiscal year. The auth-' orization of these vast amounts does not mean their immediate withdrawal. They will be raised gradually, and must be an exhibition to Oermany of our fi nancial determination to carry the war to a successful finish Peace prospects are strengthening. The crumbling of Austria as a result of the splendid Italian victories is im minent. The allies are also Wearing down their opponents on the western front; while Germany seems unable to carry on any vigorous movement agaiust Russia, except through intrigue. Ger many is beaten but not broken. Presum ably her government will not yield, ex cept to military defeat without or to political pressure within, which is stead ily growing. President Wilson's answer to the Pope's pence proposals was mag nificent in spirit and sound in policy. It clarified the issues between Ger many and the allies; so that every Am erican can easily understand for what we are fighting. It showed that the United States seeks nir gain for her self; but stands for justice and free dom between all nations, great audi small, and reparation for the wrongs done, without vindictivenes or revenge. The president stands clearly for th open door, and is opposed to all forms ! of trade restrictions that would lead to international friction or jealousy. ni boldness in asserting that te present German-Prussian government cannot be trusted, and that the future of Gcr many should rest with the German peo ple is wise and will have far-reaching effects. The message as a whole, if it could only reach the German people, would undoubtedly hasten peace. HENRY CLEWS. Bosei)urf, authorities are crusading; HELPING HOOVER? iot me Doct To a sties A ,V1 21 .

Hupremo in importance to the people of this vicinity during the post week was the Siletz Indian fair, which was attended by a large number of local parties who have mado the eighteen mile hike or auto trip to their great satisfaction aud much benefit. Held on tho Silct reservation where the Indians have mode their home for many years, many of their old customs as well as those that are new, gave ty pical Indian aspect to the principle fea tures of the celebration. Of particular' significance was the contract between the Indian as the native and the red inau as a product of government instruc tion. This phase was depicted ill ex ceptional clearness by the numerous ex hibits by the children and the accom plishment of the older Indians them selves. During the three dnys of the fair, music was furnished by the Cliemnwa Indian Band and the organization re ceived generous praise at the hands of the crowd. On account of many or iginal members enlisting in the army this band has now a number of young sters and their efforts were appreciat ed heartily by all attendants. Newport continues to hold its own as a summer resort and it is estimated that the crowd now at Newport exceeds that of previous years at this time of the month.
