THE HOSPITAL DRIVE IS ON
The big drive for the $100,000 general hospital begins
with the great "kick-off" tonight.
There will be a banquet at the Hotel Marion of the
workers who will begin their canvas of the town tomor
row, with Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain as the guest of
honor. Later in the evening the senator will address a
public mass meeting at the armory on general national
and war issues. As chairman of the military affairs com
mittee of the senate and author of the new army bill,-the
compulsory service law, and chief floor manager of the
selective draft measure, Senator Chamberlain is the most
conspicuous legislative figure m the united btates in the
present world crisis. His address should abound with
information of value to the people at this time.
- The movement for a hospital worthy of the city should
be backed financially by all our people to the limit of their
financial ability. It is needed every day by the sick and
afflicted of the community and surrounding communities,
With the progress of the war it may prove of inestimable
value to returning sick and wounded soldiers. For a long
time the Capital City has been lacking in hospital facili
ties trie demands 01 tne times now maxe a modern msii
tution an imperative necessity.
This movement will call for liberal subscriptions of
money but we must face the situation courageously. The
young men at the front are doing the fighting for us; we
must mve of our means liberally lor all purposes, iurmsn
ing the money for prosecution of the war and the health,
comfort and equipment ot the boys at the iront. we wno
are back of the line must show our patriotism by paying
the price in dollars where the soldiers pay in health and
life.
Salem should build and equip a modern hospital with
out delay.
HAIG
We hear a lot of other men who've
done artistic fighting, but Haig, who's
won, again, again, is unknown at this
writing. He doesn't hand our Haigish
news to eager-eyed reporters, nor yet
submit to interviews which might be
called Tinsnorters. He doesn't hunt
the "feature" gent, or leave his post
forsaken, to face a kodak in a tent and
have his picture taken. I know not if
he's short or tall, I've never seen his
photo; but whether he is large or small
he's getting William's goat, ohl Sonlfv
coioneis view tne nail or tame and
think it El Dora(lo,bnt he who plays
the mighty game is always in the shad
ow. I know not. how hewears his beard
or who may be his tailor, but more and
more his strokes are feared, and Wil
helni's growing paler. I've seen no pic
tures of his wife, or of his sons and
laughters, or of his ancient home in
Fife, beside some storied waters. The
grand stand looks for him in vain, no
pallerv knows him, but when the Prus
sians plant their slain, they cuss him
and bemoan him. With him there's no
such word as can't, no obstacles af
frighting: great man! like our own si
lent Urant, he lights and keeps on
figuring.

AN INTRODUCTION
Argentine's wheat harvest, which begins on the 15th' of
this month is reported as a record one, and its quantity is
placed at 185,000,000 bushels. Other crops except corn
are said to be of the record kind but no estimate is made
as to it, it being rather early to make any definite state
ment concerning it. This will give a handsome surplus,
providing the Germans in that country cannot hold up
the harvest.
Among the oddities of the war are the reports from
Mesopotamia telling of battles with modern weapons in
biblical lands. For instance, the dispatches Sunday spoke
of British forces attacking the Turkish lines defending
the coast city of Gaza. A few days ago a dispatch told of
fighting at Bethlehem. Anyway if it does nothing else it
may cause some to make a study of the Bible or at least
of the old testament ! s i ! k ; MtU:! !
The Voter is of the opinion a mistake was made in
forcing Allen Eaton to resign.. It bases this opinion on
the alleged fact that "dreamers, of whom Eaton was one,
become dangerous when not allowed to dream in peace."
The Voter intimates he may, having been "made a martyr
, of," do things. It intimates that from the "burning stake
he may speak words that will topple dynasties." It's too
bad but let us hope he will think better of it. Just now
the dynasties-are doing their own toppling and require no
help from "dreamers at the stake.""
New York City has just closed a mayoralty campaign
of remarkable fierceness and extraordinary vituperation.
The dictionaries have been scanned for words that wither
and burn, and then the tables of synonyms have been
studied so that nothing in the way of vituperative
language might be overlooked. It presented a field so at
tractive to the doughty colonel that he came out of his
retirement to limber up his tongue and practice his vocab
ulary. His needs no extraneous aid from the unabridged,
for he is a past master in that line. Among politicians
who have been reading the flood of billingsgate there is
a general belief that Hylan will win.

CHAPTER XLIX.
A few days afterward I had a little
necessary shopping to do, I had not fin
ished by one o'clock, and, as 1 felt a
little faint, I dropped into the Halpin
for a bite. I had nearly finished when
a slight stir near me attracted my at
tention and to my surprise I saw Bob
coming toward me closely followed by
a petite young girl of about twenty-one j
or Lweniyiwu yeaia. oiiu nan vcij juvc-
lv and beautifully dressed.
"Where in the world did you come
from Margaret?" Bob asked, as he stop
ped at the table where I was just finish
ing my simple luuceou, "Miss Riggs,
my wife, Mrs. Garrett," then as we ac
knowledged the introduction he added,
"bring uuother chair waiter, we will
sit here," my table was a small one
for two.
"Perhaps Mrs. Garrett would prefer
not to be disturbed," Miss Riggs re
marked. "I have nearly finished," I replied
coldly, as 1 wondered what Bob was do
ing xu that part of town at noon, aud
why Miss Riggs should be with him.
The waiter quickly placed another
chair and Miss Riggs and Bob sat down.
"I don't suppose you will join us
Margaret!" Bob remarked casually as
he studied the menu.
"No thank vou. as son as I finish
my coffee I will be excused and finish
my shopping. Mother is taking care of
Donald." 1 added.
Mr. Garrett told me you iiad a lit
tle sou." Miss Kings said to mo. Then
to Bob who had just consulted her as to
her appetite, "lou please order for me
Mr. Garrett I really prefer you snouiu.
Bob ordered quite a substantial lun
cheon. while Miss HiKKS mado an at
teinnt to be pleasant to me. But it was
so evidently an attempt, she was
nlninlv sururised aud embarrassed at
moetinir me. that e conversation was.
or at least appeared to be forced; and
1 imagined both slip and hod wisueo io
bo alone. But Bob soon dissipated that
idea, for when he had finished order
ing and the waiter had left us he turn
od tc me and said:
"I'm so clad we ran into you Mar
garet! Miss Riggs has written a novel
which promises to make her famous. We
must have her and Kendall up to the
house some evening soon, and perhaps a
few others."
"Your husband is sort of a hero-
worshiper, isn't he Mrs. Garrett t you
notice he says nothing about me per
sonally, it is all my book," but I could
see that she was pleased.
I had been simply furious ever since
they sat down with me. Not that I was
leuious of Miss Riggs, or that I thought
anything wrong; but why in the world
coLldn't Bob have come in alone! Ihen
I could have consulted him about some
purchases I was to make that afternoon
and we might have had a nice time to
Keener. As it was, I could say nothing
of a private nature to him; I had no de
sire that my private affairs should be
ki.own and discussed by Miss Riggs, and
her friend Mrs. Root. I was thinking
of this when Bob spoke, and he start
led me so that I dropped my tea cup and
spilled the hot tea on my lap; and on
the cloth. I was horribly embarrassed,
especially as Miss Riggs made so much
fuss that she attracted the attention of
all sitting near us.
"I'm so sorry!" she gushed, "I do
nope you haven't ruined your dress".
"You should be more careful, Mar
garet", Bob broke in, "you might have
s-'alded yourself severely."
"It is nothing!" I exclaimed annoy
ed, "but will you call a cab at once
and take me home, Bobf My shopping
will nave to be postponed until another
day. " "
"I will call -a cab for you at once,
Margaret, but it isn't at all necessary
for me to take you home; you will do
very well by yourself."
"Don't let me keep you," Miss Biggs
siwae.
"Miss Riggs is looking for a country
Dome wbere she can be undisturbed at
he work. We take a train for Jersey as
soon as we finish luncheon. I have sev
eral on my list I think will suit her."
"Very, well, put me in a eab, and
I'll go home by myself," I said with an
) injured air; yet satisfied now that I
: knew it was business instead of a silly
j manuscript that interested Bob.
when be put me into the eab he
said:
"I may be late tonight, don't wait
for me."
"You know I will, that I never eat
anything until you eome home."
"Well, good bye," and he returned
to his luncheon, and I drove home dia-

consolate because I could not do my
shopping as I had planned; and just a
trifle uneasy because Bob had added an
other authoress to his list of friends, an
other one of that set of whom I already
felt he knew too many for my happi
ness. Of course I wanted him to sell pro
perty, how else would we live! But I
did wish that 1 could think of some way
to wean him from men and women he
knew, and with whom he sfient his time,

Mother left directly I reached home,
and aftor I changed my crothes I sat
down to sew and wait for Bob. All the
time making plans to do something to
keep him at home; and away from his
Bohemian friends.
He came in about seven o'clock, all
excitement over the salo he had made
to Miss Riggs. His commission had been
Inrge, and he said we would take a trip
to Atlantic City to celebrate.
