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.

Lee L. Gilbert. Elgin Six distributor
announces that the Simonizing station
he has lately installed is doing -a good

Having turned out several cars to sat

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

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

The police cannot quite understand
why a woman will leave her purse on

one ladies' Elgin watch, a diamond!

several other valuables. Her car was
parked about 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon on North Commercial street. The

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.

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

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.

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
