The complaint allegees that August 29 at 8 o'clock in the morninjt he sent a message over thi company's wires, or at least paid the company for sending such message, but that it has not yet been delivered. The complaint says: "As I have had considerable experience with the mar velous inefficiency of this company I also gave the telephone number of the person to whom the telegram wag ad- !!0KPI1 P Pmisea to investigate. i Br i lriAaa s a itil-AflriYflTinir TTfcr ainiR !l have heard nothing from him. A jfew days later I called again, and an- other shock absorber listened to my complaint, and evidently acted on the principle that a pleasant word was an that was necessary to bring around a dissatisfied customer." The complainant admits he has suf fered no material damage but won- lers if the. company intends to hold the small sum of money he paid it for work it did not do. in crdor to help swell its excess profits in the interests of the government.

The conference between representa tives of the organized telephone oper ators of the northwest and the elec trical workers and D. P. Fullerton, gen eral manager of the company, which was still in progress at 1 p.. m, will be the final conference, Mergenthaler said. Unless there is some detinite re sult from this parley, he indicated that negotiations will close. Morgcnthaler would not state wheth er auy progress had been mado at to day's conference which began an hour before noon. He promised, however, to issue a complete statement of the sit uation about 2:30, after the confer ence has ended. The district president estimated that by 8 o'clock tomorrow night the wir ed strike calls would be in the bands of all locals on the Pacific coast, should the strike be called.

Theso ponies are to be given as prizes in a state-wide es say contest for the schools. The sub ject of. this cusay is; . I'.What We Can Do to Help Win the War." W. B. Ayer, of Portland, federal food admin-, istrafor for Oregon; has Contributed the cost of transportation of the ponies to tne railroad station at or near which the winners reside. One of these ponies will be given for tno best essay written by students be tween the ages of 15 and 19, inclusive. who are in high school, or in private or parocniai schools paralleling high schools in general requirements as to age and scholarship. The second will include children from 11 to 14 years of age. If any children are still in the grades and ovct 14 years of age, thoy had probably best be included in this class. The third class will be for children 10 years of age and under. In all cases private and parochial schools are to be included on a similar basis. Each county will be permitted only one essay in each class in the stato contest. Each school district will be permitted but one essay in the county contest in each class. Each school room shall be permitted one contestant only in its class in the contest within the district. In' county uchools whero one teacher teaches all the grades, this would mean that such school would have one contestant in each class covered. The essays are to be written during the week of October 28-Novomber 4, but, in order to give remote school districts plenty of time, the contests will not be closed until November 17. Contesting essays must bo in the hands of tho county school superintendents by November 17. The dute has not been set for closing the state contest but plenty of time will be allowed for out lying counties to judgo their contest ants and to forward to the Orogon Food Administration headquarters at Port land the winning essays. Plenty of material for the composi toin of the essays may be found printed on the National Food Administration Homo Cards, used in connection with the food "Service by Substitution" campaign and from articles on the food conservation movement in . the news papers and magazines. It may be that some patriotic citizen may offer special prizes for winners in the Marion con test in order to stimulate interest among tho children of tho schools of this county and encourage them to en ter into the campaign for the big prizes. High School Students Get Food Pledge Cards Tho food conservation, or rather the food substitution campaign, is now on in earnest as the high school students have boen given pledge cards and they are 'to carry thorn home and secure the signatures of thoir parents or the heads of the families. Then after bringing pack to the school tho pledge card pro perly signed, the student may curry homo a window sign which shows that the family has agreed to co-operate with the government on the food proposi tion. And if the sign is not in tho window it is a pretty sure indication the fam ily living there is going to cat meat on meatless days, wheat on wheatless days and all tho sugar they want, re gardless of the wishes of tho food ad ministration. The pledge is as follows: "I am f,lud to join you in the service of food conser vation for our nation and I hereby ac cept membership in the United States Food Administration, pledging myself to carry out the directions and advice oi the Food Administration in my home, in so far as circumstances permit." The membership window card will now tell the story. The housekeeper is cither for or agaiust the government. Dr. Wm. Mayo, President of. Surgeons' Congress Chicago, Oct. 26.

This is about $1 higher than a year ago, which in't so bad he says, considering every thing. The coal proposition is somewhat dif ferent, he says.

AcidsSplendid for :. ; . System Kidney and bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The .kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the nock of the bladder, obliging you to sock relief two or three times during the night, The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes some times with a scalding sensation and is verv profuse? again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. . Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to over come. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast, continue' this, for two or. three days.
