Although the announcement is made that sugar has advanced five cents per hundred, and also the higher freight rate go fnto affect today, retailers say that no changes will be made on the lo cal price, nowever, after present stocks aro exhausted, them may be a slight advance in price. Although Oregon has for some time been on the limit of three pounds per month to each person, tho federal food administration is just an nouncing that this limit will be effect ive July 1. The next meeting of the Salem Elks lodgo Is for the first Thursday in the month, but as this happens to fall on the Fourth of July, H. J. Wicdiner, sec retary, has just received a special dis pensation from the district deputy per mitting the lodgo to hold the session on tlva evening of Tuesday, July 2.

The pastor the Bev. John OvaU was chairman of the meeting. Aadres ses were made by the Eev. W. T. Milli- ken and the Bev. M. B. Parounagian. Great enthusiasm was manifested for the coming victory of our flag and a goodly Bum raised to swell the church war fund. Post office officials have received no tice that hereafter no exception will be made to the rule that parcels when presented to the postoffice for shipment overseas must be accompanied by a written request from the soldier, approv ed by a major or higher commanding officer. Persons connected with the Bed Cross or Y. M. C. A. or other organiza tions iu France must make a request for articles in a similar manner, the approv al of an executive officer of the organ ization being necessary in each case. The original order provided thak a regimental or higher officer should ap prove a request for the shipment of an article to France. This has been mod ified so that a major or a higher offi cer may grant the, request. The appro val of a company commander is not suf ficient. Would Quarantine All Tubercular Cattle At tho next meeting of the state livestock sanitary board, Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian, will urge the board ta pass a resolution requesting the secretary of agriculture to place a quarantine on interstate shipments of all tubercular infected cattle. This action will be taken at the re quest of. the livestock sanitary offi cials of the states of Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Arkansas, who recently held a meet ing at Atlttntc. Ga., and passed such a resolution. They want a quarantine strictly enforced for the protection of those states which are now practically free of tuberculosis among their cat tle. "All native cattle of Oregon are free from this disease," says Dr. Ly tlo, in his reffly to the state veterinar ian of Georgia, "but some few of the cattle tffat have come in contact with imported cattle have some little tu berculosis, although we have tho dis ease now well under control and a ma jority of the herds aro free from it. We have been working for some 10 years in tuberculosis eradication work here in Oregon. "As soon as our state livestock san itary board meets I will brine vo-ur letter before; them bud will encourage: the board to issue a similar reeo.ution to tho one that you have passed and embody the eamo request in it relative to tho shipment of possibly tubercular cattle interstate, and the control of the sale of tuberculin."

FIFTY THOUSAND MARK IS REACHED IN m SAVINGS One-Fifth of Salem's Allot ment Secured In First Two Days of Campaign The second day's campaign of the War Savings Stamps campaign will bring the subscriptions up to about 50,000, about one-fifth of the quota assigned to Salem, according to the announcement of Hal D. Patton, gen eral in chcrge. While this amount is not quite as large as expected for tha two days workers are not discouraged to any ex tent and all express their determination to stay with the campaign until the required amount, $250,000 is sub scribed. The slowness in securing subscrip tions is duo largely, Mr. Patton says, to the fact that many people aro not at home at this season of the year and then again hundreds are out picking cherries. Some rer.ort the old old story of the woman who had but a little subscrib ing liberally, while in other families, even in some where a son is in the war, theri was an inclination to feel that their duty was done by subscrib ing for two stamps. In some cases, where the family is driving around in an automobile, the total subscriptions for the family amounted to $10. In tha offiee of the State Accident Commission, the employes sub-scribed $1,720 an average of $3o.OO each. There are 49 workers in the offiee and not one failed to respond to the invita tion to subscribe. - Hereafter, during the week 's cam paign, ths workers will report direct to their captains and the captains will hold a daily conference and report to Hal D. Putton and no more noon day luncheons will be given at the First Methodist church. Throughout the county, the campaign will close Friday evening. In the rural districts, a mass meeting has been called for that evening, when it is ex pected that every person in the district will turn in their subscription cards in order that the district conrmittce may know whether the quota has been sub scribed. At tho mass meetings Friday even ing, June 28, there will be organized in each district, a permanent war fund committee, which will nave cnarge or future Liberty loan and other cam paigns. During the week each home in every district will to visited by tne workers. ' For -ho Friday evening mass meeting tho bc3t speakers in the city havo volunteered their services to make .ad dresses.
