Then the chemical engine will be ent out and the chim ney properly taken care of. When a general alarm is sent in, the pumper and chemical are both sent out, leaving the business section of the eity without pro per protection. Eastern wholesala houses are prepar ing for the big demand for plum pud dings and cakes by putting up two pound cans and supply the retail trade. All that is neeeseary to remember to buy at the front is to buy one of these two pound puddings put up in cans, wrap in manilla paper and mail. They do say the army rations do not inelude many sweets and that candy and take and puddings and such are greatly ap preciated. Three Cent Postage la Effect November 1 The pale pink two eent stamp will carry an ordinary letter weighing up to one ounce Wednesday and Thursday, but its all off for the pink stamp next Friday.

If the sender is known, they will be notified' to come. in. and furnish the extra eent. However, in order not to confuse af fairs, the postal authorities will facili tate matters by sending on a letter without the necessary postage. Th new letter rate is three cents for each ounce-or fraction thereof. Extra Dividend Paid 0a -. United States Steel, Common New York, Oct. 30.

Out of the 330 cards received, one woman claimed she did not want her signa ture on a card and. in the other case, the girl student could not convince her mother she should join with the gov ernment in conserving food. These were the only two failures to return the pledge cards properly signed. o Bean buyers have withdrawn from the market. They are afraid of Hoover and what may be done in the way of es tablishing a price about November 1 The local buyers are,, also up in the air on bean prices and are rather holding back until it is learned whether the na tional food commission will establish a price. The California market experienc ed a drop of one cent a pound last week and is somewhat demoralized. From what can be learned of the food commis sion, there is a belief that prices of beans will be established if there is a tendency to boost the price or to store them for -speculative prices. ' Harley White is home from Portland where he found market conditions rath er unsettled on account of the uncertain ty as to what foods would be placed on an established price basis by the food commission about the iirst of Novem ber The bean market he found espec ially demoralized with the market break ing 2 1-2 cents a pound within tne past week. It was thought at one time that the food commission might establish a ten-cent price for beans, but now buyers fear it will be nearer eight cents. Hence until the commission either makes a price or declares itself, beans are prac tically off the market. o Vn flint. hn ,nf fllAlf r.lflll7 about the war in the form of fiction, ( there is an interesting book at the oa lcm publio library written by William' J. Locke, entitled, "The Red Planet".! The Btory is told by Major uuncan Merdyth and is a narrative of war times in an English village. It appeared in Good Housekeeping first. Another story by au interesting writer, now at the city library is one entitled, "The Light in the Clearing," by Irving Bachelor. It is that of an old man writing of his boyhood days on a farm in northern New York, before the Civil war. The characters include the typical aunt and undo of the days when Van Burcn was president, and also the village school teacher. t :iMu 4 M TheBiggest Best and Largest Assortment of 9 .ctiies 81 Coats TTTetttMfetTeteTtTtttMTti 200 NEW GARMENTS JUST RECEIVED BY TODAY'S EXPRESS NOW ON SPECIAL SALE $6.95 TO $24.50 Our Prices Always the Lowest GALE & CO. r Commercial & Court Streets Formerly Chicago Store -- .tttttt PERSONALS T. B. Crook of Monmouth was a Ba lem visitor yesterday. The student body of the High school decided to go to Eugene next Satur day to witness the toot ball game be tween the Salem and Eugene high school. The question came up as to whether it would not be best to save their spending money and give it to the Y. M. C. A. war work. But after dis cussing things, the students eoncludod they had enough spare cash to not only go to Kugene if they wanted to, but to also do the right thing with the Y M. C A. Hence about 100 will leave next Saturday morning on the 9:30 Southern Pacific train, leaving Eugene in the evening at 9:S0. They will travel in a special car. o A. 3. Anderson is just horns from Med ford where e has been working the past three weeks building three dryers to be used for drying apples, pears and peaches He reports that Jackson coun ty has the largest crop of apples in the past sevea years. Some trees required fifteen props to keep the limbs from breaking, according to Mr. Anderson. Apple picking has been under headway for a week and will continue three weeks longer. He saw as many sa eight ear loads of apples ready for shipment i in one packing house and tbe owners unable to get a single ear for ship-. meat.' The shortage of ears is becoming j a serious proposition to the Medford: fruit growers just when they happen to I have a large crop and an opportunity ( to make up for former lean years.

With about fif teen auxiliaries of Willamette chapter striving to sack make its individual booth the most attractive, there is the assurance that the carnival will be most interesting aeh booth will sell wares suggestive f the nation represented, and last but Mt least, those in charge will all be dressed in appropriate cos tumes.

The company was represented by Col. C. E. S. Wood who asked that it have its bonds surrendered. The company has paid back the money advanced by many of the settlers on the project and is pay ing off the others as rapidly as possible. Arrangement was finally agreed upoie by which State Engineer Lewis is to examine into tho status of the settlers and report as soon as possible to the board with his recommendations. It was also arranged that should this report show the settlers interests were pro perly guarded that the company would deposit-securities in the amount of (20, 000 with the board until all claims against the company had been settled. It seems the company was released some time ago from carrving out the work of reclamation, for the reason that there was not sufficient water available to make the project a success, he present proeeeainga are being taken so as to wind up the affairs of the company in a satisfactory manner, the company being desirous of playing fair and doing so although at considerable loss to itself.
