The demonstration will bo from 3 until 5 o'clock aud those interested in the city library are invited to make it a point to walk around' to the Hamilton store. o Jazz dance at the armory Nov. 28. o The boys of the Salem high school havo the proper military Bpirit as about 60 have joiuod Company A. But while they have the patriotic spirit, there is considerable difficulty in finding rifles of auy old kind for drilling. Superin tendent Todd has been corresponding and endeavoring to locate anything that looked like a rifle, but so far, has been unablo to find anything that might add to the thrills of military instruction for tho young patriots. At the meeting of tho board of directors last evening the resignation of Mrs. Josephine Gilbert of the Lincoln junior high school was re ceived and accepted. o A story evidently coming from pro German sources in the city is in cir culation to the effect that woolen socks and other woolen goods needed by the soldiers cannot be mailed. Yesterday a wiiiuan bought several pairs of woolen socks from one of the men's clothing houses and was about to send them to her son in the service, when she was informed that such were not mailable. She returned the socks to the store from which they were bought, explaining that she had kiecn informed that they were unavailable. For the benefit of the pub lio who are thinking of remembering soldier boys, it may be said that there, has been no changes in the postoffice laws as to what can be mailed. Hereto fore, liquids and merchandise , that would injure 'other mail were not mail able and this still holds good. Mail to a foreign country is subject to opening and inspection, but packages to soldiers or to any address in xuis country are not inspected. o "Bamona" often termed the sweet est story ever told, will be told again at tho Liberty theatre three days be ginning next Friday. The story as writ ten by Helen Hunt Jackson is especial ly familiar to the readers of fiction a generation ago and its interest holds for the readers of the present day. o At the turkey shoot held by the mem bers of the Salem Bifle club last even ing at the old armory, several local ex perts were provided with their Thanks giving birds. Turkeys were won by H. P. Doe, Victor Doodruff, I. B. Goodman, and Bert W. Macy. Geese were won by A. B. Poole aud Fred Day. Tho chicken was awarded 'to M. J. DeLapp. High scores were made by H. P. Doe M. J. DeLapp, who scored 48 out of a pos sible 60. B. W. Macy and Fred Day scored 47 each, and A. B. Poole, 40. About 20 men were present taking part in the shoot. It is probable another will be held before Christmas, o When It comes to the recruiting v of men for the navy, the northwestern part of the Pacifio coast with headquarters at Portland is making by far the best record of any division in the northwest. For the week ending Nov. 22, the navy recruits from the Portland district were as follows: Portland, 88; Spokane, 46; Salem, 6; Pendleton 4; Marshfield, 0; making a total of 144 for the district. And while the Portland district was showing up with 144, the Seattle dis trict reported 100, San Francisco( 56; Denver, 51; and the Los Angeles district 44; Portland percentage was 1.291 while Los Angeles went short of its quota on a per eentage of .874 and San Francis co shot .998 per cent. o One recruit showed up today at the army recruiting station. His name is Kari Butcher, 20 years old, coming from Albany. He chose the coast artillery. Business has been pretty good at the recruiting seation so far this month 31 men have been forwarded. Marion county does not get credits for all re cruits received at this station as it is a ruling of the war department that when a man enlists the county in which he claims his home is given credit. A five-acre tract in the Garden Home tracts was sold today by J. E. Scott to M. J. Morrison of Falls City. Mr. Mor rison will make his home on the tract. o J. L. Buslck b Son will open another cash grocery store Dec. 1, in the build ing at 387 Court street, adjoining the Steusloff meat market. The same plan will be followed as in their other three stores, excepting in this fourth store a much larger stock will be carried. Ac cording to Mr. Busick, it is through j their "cash and carry" plan that they have been enabled to save money for j the public and to have built up a busi ness of four stores within two years. Benjamin Brick, the State street mer chant announces that he will open a branch store in Tacoraa early in the year He has already leased one -of the best locations in the city on Pacific avenue aud the owner of the building is remodeling the frout according to- plans drawn by Mr. Brick. He says business is booming at Tacoma and that the mer chants of that city have the assurance of the war department that soldiers will be kept at American Lake canton ment for several years. Mr. Brick will continue to operate his store in Salem CANCER CURED IN 11 DAYS Miss Margaret Russell, 1135 N. Fifteenth St., Salem, Or, ex plains wonderful cure. To Those Afflicted with Can cer: 1 deem it a great privilege to be able to testify to the abso lute cure of cancer on the side of " my nose irom wmcn suiierea lor three years. On July 14, 1916, I applied to Dr. S. C. Stone for treatment. He applied a paste for four days and then a simple ointment. In just eleven days after the first treat ment the cancer fell out. The place soon healed and is now sound and well. Miss Margaret BussolL Salem, Oregon, Nov, 5, 1917. S.

Smith, a steamboat brok er of Portland. Owing to the fact that the mer chants have not patronized the boat line sufficiently and that the Oregon City Transportation company has been operated at a loss, Mr. Smith put it up to the directors that Salem could best maintain a steamboat lino by purchas ing tne two steamboats and operating them as a community owned company. Without, going into tho details as to what might happen to the present boat facilities, the inference was given that there was a possibility of the Oregon City Transportation company taking its boats off the Willamette river. According to the figures of Mr. Smith, thore is enuuga freight be etwoen Salemi aiwl Portland to make a boat line a paying proposition but it seems that in recent years, no effort has been made to route sufficient freight over the boat line to, justify the owners in maintaining a service. In this repect, Independence and Cor- valli have both oeen rather negligent in patronizing the river service, ac cording .to Mr. Smith. Tne proposition, of a sale of the two boats was made to tho merchants of the city aud not to the city of Salem. lue sale of tho boats was to also in clude a lease of the dock in Salem. At present the boat rate to Port land is 23 cents a hundred, first class, and that of the railroads, 24 cents a hundred. Mr. Smith thought that the business men of tho city could put Sa lem on the map by purchasing the two boats and then making a iiat rato that would give the city a big, advant age on the freight proposition. According to the best of informa tion, the government is not inclined to spend more money on rivers until there is some evidence that merchants will patronize the river service. Recent ly, $t0,000 was spent on the loeks at Oregon City and yet there is not suf ficient river traffic to justify a line of boats. The proposition of buying the Po mona and Oregona will be taken up by the merchants at a meeting when the principal shippers of the city will be called into conference. According to the best information the boat ser vice to Salem cannot be continued with the amount of patronage it has receiv ed in the past year from tho merchants of the city. It's rather a good rfifng that the hot weather is over else those food pledge caTds hajiging in the windows would keep the ice man guessing. and is just opening up the branch in Tacoma on account of the unusual busi ness opportunities. About 40,000 soldiers are at American Lake, he says, and it is only 17 miles from Tacoma. o Tonight at the Commercial club a meeting will be held, called by the fed eral food administration. The meeting is especially for grocers, butchers, bakers, hotel men, restaurants and all those who are interested in the handling or serving of food. An endeavor will be made to arrange for a meatless and wheatless day to be observed by all serving meals in Salem. It is proposed to serve fish instead of meats on Tues days and to substitute some other kind of bread for wheat bread on Wednes days. This plan of the federal food ad ministration is being observed elsewhere and Salem is now preparing to fall in line with the national movement.
