C. Tho money, order is purchased here, made payable to tho Red Cross. The name end prison of the American is given and then the sender must de pend on the Red Cross, for its finally reaching the prisoner. Some fo'ks think that writing poetry does not pay, but W. T- Rigdon,. who has been doing considerable in that line lately, is of another opinion. He has the figures to prove it. During the bridge day celebration he sold 400 cop- ies of his "Ode to the Bridge'' from which he turned into the Red Cross 'treasury $20.00, Then te wrote a poem for the Wisconsin folks when they ob served their annual picnic and the sales amounted to $10.00 which was also given to the Red Cross. Now Mr. Rig don is working on a poem for Iowa day, August 17, which he will sell for the Red Cross and he figures that before many months pass, he will have bene fitted the Red Cross more than flOO, from the sale of his poetry. Soldiers Service Kits, trench mirrors, wrist watches. Watt Bhipp Co. 8-10 0 Lee L. Gilbert. Elgin Six distributor announces that the Simonizing station he has lately installed is doing -a good business and is proving a big success. Having turned out several cars to sat isfied customers, he says that inquiries are coming in for service. Mr. Gilbert explains that Simonizing for re-finish' ing and bringing out the orieifial color cf the car and that the only way to .liuiire the process is to see the car both before and after being treated to the (unionizing process. He says that cars that appear to need painting are made to look like a new car with but little expense. J. S. Hanson, Salem manager of the Elgin agency for Mr. Gilbert also has charge of tho Simonizing sta tion here. Watermelon thieves broke into a car this morning at 4 o'clock stationed near the S. P. freight house on Front street. But it happened about that early hour of, tho morning two officers were also on duty in that part of town and within a short time Earl Meeks, 14 and Ivan Meeks, 12, of 1008 South Commercial street and Lloyd Scliafer, 12, of 1701 South Liberty street found themselves in tho clutches of the law and placed in the city jail. They were later turned over to County Judge Btishey who gave thein a moral lecture with the understanding they were to go home and tell their folks what they had done. The police cannot quite understand why a woman will leave her purse on tho seat of an automobilo in plain view and then start 011 a shopping tour. Mrs. Bertha Steuding.of Eugene tried it yesterday but when she returnod to her car, her purse was gone. She re ported to the police that it contained one ladies' Elgin watch, a diamond! ring, a ring with a small red set and several other valuables. Her car was parked about 3 o'clock yesterday after noon on North Commercial street. The polico are asked to notify E. L. Knapp of tho Eugene Register should any one Do kind enough to return tho purse and contents. There is still an impression that if a soldier writes for sovfernl things ho would like to have sent him, and the letter passes the censor, that packages may be sent to tho boys in Franco or anywhere overseas. Postmaster Huckc 'stein has roceived special instructions that no packages must be forwarded from the postoffice at Salem unless there is shown a special permit from the soldier's regimental or superior offi cer. An officer cannot O. K. his own request. Hence, the O. K. of tho cen sor of a letter merely means that tho letter can be mailed, A package to be mailed overseas should not ba brought to tho postoffico unless the sender can present the special permission, signed by a regimental officer. Some idea of the activities of one branch of the Willamette chapter Red Cross in Salem may be had from the fact that since the knitting . depart ment of the chapter was organized, 10,27o pairs of woolen socks have been forwarded to our 'soldiers in France.

Although a report came from Port lnfid that gasoline was about to ad vance hnlf a cent a gallon, things seem to be quiet along tho Willamette.

IT. 10 HOKE CONVICTS ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE BUT ARE FOULED Giye Guards Lively Time For Ana Sects Are Fired Robert Burns, serving from 2 to CO years for forgery from Multnomah county, and J. R. Rogers, colored, serv ing from 1 to 10 years for assault with intent to kill, gave Penitentiary offi cials a lively morning at the prison today when each attempted to stage a spectacular escape, but each in his own way and at different times. With Burns it was his third chance in a year, as he escaped August 8, 1917 and May 28, 1918. Burns was working on the inside of the prison yard at the flax mill, as sisting in loading flax onto wagons. Guard A. E. Bell, who is a new man at the work, had been told to watch out for an effort such as Burns tried, but wa9 not looking as he evidently misunderstood the instructions, and while the guard's back was turned Burns slipped in under a pile of flax on a wagon and was covered up by his comrades. He succeeded in getting outside of the prison walls under the flax and at a convenient moment slipped- out from under his covering and made his getaway. A man named White, who lives on D street, saw Burns hotfooting it cast on that street and notified the prison authorities. Guards Dorman and Putnam were sent 011 the trail and thev were followed ui bv Warden Murphy and Parole Officer Keller. A bunch of vacant buildings, including a hophouse, barn, and house. stand on the street and these were spotted as a possible hiding place for the quarry and Burns was pulled from out of a cellar. Ho was armed with a long dirk, which from its appearance was unquestionably ' slipptcd in from the outside in some manner. In the meantime Sam Worrell, guard on Post No. 1, was having his troubles with the little negro, Rogers. Rogers is employed as an oiler and handy man at the gate and Worrell told him to oil tho hinges on the outside. As the' gate opened, for him to go at the work,; Rogers started to beat it. Worrell shouted at him, but when Rogers only sprinted the faster, Worrell took a shot at him with his Krag-Jorgensen rifle. At that Rogers hopped behind a pillar, being missed by only a hair. Worrell held Rogers behind the post with a threat of further shooting and Warden Murphy grabbed the man up and took him back into tho prison. No More Free Papers Is Positive Order Tho Capital Journal expects to cut off all unpaid subscrib- .ers Monday, Aug.2 the dato when the now government print pap.-r regulations take . effect. Paper mills are prohibited sell- ing paper to publications which do not conform to these regu- Intions. Every complimentary paper must bo discontinued on that date. If you are for any reason re- ceiving tho paper compliment- ary you will know why it has stopped coming after today. This is tho order of tho gov- :S eminent, based on tho fact that print paper must be conserved. Trindlo. The point at which they will begin their deer hunting is 50 miles east of Roseburg, the last 28 miles of the distance being over trails. Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Winslow did some hunting in that section ono year ago and bagged tho limit. Beginning next week, the Salvation army will put on its drive or war funds. The quota for Oregon is $50, 000 of which half the amount is to bfl subscribed in tho stato outside of Port land. Prof. E. S. Hammond has been appointed vice manager for the coun ties south of Jianon. Vv. W. Youngson D. D., of Portland, will serve as genernl for the state drive and Mr. Lindon of Portland as manager. It is expected that the amount to be raised in Salem will be through the committees who for merly handled the Salvation army drive. OREGON BOYS DEAD The following Oregon boys were mentioned in 1 ershing's casualty list today: W. Hines, Gales Creek, killed in ac tion; C- A. Jensen, Portland, died of accident. Long Lines of German Prisoners Coming Back At Late Hour Today With the French Armw-s in the Field Aug. 10, Long Hues of prisoners are still proceeding to the rear. At one con centration point more than 20,000 of these famished nvon fell upon the food given them as ravenously as dogs. In cluded in the officers captured are three colonels with their staffs. Two of th,em were caught thalf dressed. The other attempted to run, but was pursued by poilus, who laughed so hard they could barely catch him. With a hundred tanks leading them, the French easily wiped out many ma- Journal Want Ads Pay wq ins il 0 LUfl THIRTY-SEVEN MILLION Double Amount Of Last Quota WiU Be Asked In Next Campaign Oregon 's quota in- the third liberty loan is apt to be $37,000,000, or twice its last quota of $18,500,000, according to a letter received by Governor Withy-i-oinbe from James K. Lynch, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank at San rrancisco. In writing to the Cover nor, Mr. Lynch said in part: "The secretary of the treasury has informed us that the fourth eamuaien will last three weeks, commencing Sat urday, Sept. 28, and closing Saturday, Oct. 19. While no further particulars nave as yet been announced, the ire ilications are that the amount will be so much in excess of previous liberty bond issues that it will call for the Krcatest possible effort on the part of all interested in making this loan a complete success. "This can be better appreciated when it is remembered that of the three bil lion dollar third loan the twelfth dis trict 's share was 7 per cent, or $210, 000,000, which means that if the next loan is six billion dollars, this district 's portion would be approximately fll'0, 000.000, and therefore practically dou ble the quota allotted to Oregon "in the last campaign." State House Notes Leading to a complete unification of the lines of the Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric in the Willamette Valley, a comprehensive survey is now being mado by Federal Manager O' Brien and General Manager Davidson. according to a letter received by Com missioner Buchtel of the Public Service Commission from District Director Oilman. Mr Buchtel asked Mr. Gil man as to what has becomo of the pro posed pnysicni connection at Eugene. In response Mr. Oilman states that such a connection at that point is of doubtful value, and would nrobablv be decidedly expensive, but ho will ask the two officials named to incorporate a statement as to such connection in the general report that they plan to mako on valley conditions. Superintendent Churchill reports that there was a vast movement of high school boys toward recruiting stations yesterday throughout the state when the impression got abroad that yester day was tho last day in which enlist ments could be made in tho volunteer service. He communicated with W, F. Woodward; new chairman of the State Council of 'Defcnse, who advised him that such enlistments could not be made yesterday and the boys attempt ing it were having their trouble for their pains. Mr. Woodward told him to urge students to remain in school as the government no doubt will, keep them there as long as possible, whether they become of draft age or not. At least such was the policy announced by Secretary of War Baiter in a com munication sent to Superintendent C'hnrchill some time since. It is expected that the Stato Council of Defenso will need $25,000 to conduct its affairs during the next biennium. At least that is tho cstimato made in a telegram received by the State Tax Commission from John K. Kollock, sec retary of that organization. An estimated deficiency of 110,000 is facing tho Industrial Accident, Com mission, according to a supplemental report of that body filed with the State Tax Commission today. The Legislature appropriated $230,000 for the two years, and expenses are ex pected to mount up to $1100,000. The Oregon Naval Militia is coming back strong with a request for $30,710, in a report tiled with the State Tax I t'ommission. It had been expected that i the Naval Militia would probably seel" no funds for tho next biennium, or at I least only a nominal request- But it j wishes $20,000 for harbor patrol work, ; to see tnat harbor regulations are not violated and that war work is protected ' from enemy agents. It also wishes I funds' for a ralio school and for head- ! quarters where splicing, knotting and elementary seamanship may be taugh,t. Following are ctimates filed by var ious state activities with the State Tax Commission today as to the res pective wants for the coming biennium: department of Stato $39,300, receipts $30,000; elections, $45,000, a reduction from $50,000; capitol. supreme court building and grounds, $69,800; Attorney General, $38,320; State Engineer, $29,010, receipts $29,797.06; Desert Land Board, $9,640; Oregon Social Hy gieno Society, $48,000; Patton Home, $24,000, receipts $24,879. Govemr Withyeonibe has been noti fied that the State Board of Forestry has voted unanimously to uphold his action in refusing to close the hunting season on August 15, when it opens as provided under the statute. The K. J. Brown Company, Portland, $10,000 capitalization, wishes to engage in a general lumber and building busi ness; the Portsmouth Mercantile Com pany, Portland, $100,000, in a general mercantile business, and the Morrison Metal Company, $100,000, Portlond, in a general mining and metal business, according to articles of incorporation filed with Corporation Commissioner Schulderman today. chine gun nests, which otherwise might have given them considerable trouble. Time and again thickly infested spots hell up the 'ine momentarily, but, thanks to the tanks, to grenades and to cautious encircling movements, these were eliminated one by one.
