Keeping Farm Expert On Job in
Marion County.
MANY ENTHUSIASTIC TALKS
ARE HEARD AT MEETING
Reasons For Favoring Bond Issue Of
$s50,0O0 For Construction of
Roads Are Set Forth.

At the monthly meeting Of the mem
bers Of the promotion department of the
Salem Commercial club last night, the
report of the board of governors was
read. The board of governors, after
making thorough investigation, has
concluded that the commercial club
should bear half of the expense which
is to be borne by the county to retain
L. j. Chaplin, the government agricul-
tural expert. President Rodgers, of the
promotion department, explained that
the commercial club will raise $500 and
that the government will furnish like
amount which will all be turned over
to the Marion county court to be used
in connection with another $1,000 which
is to be appropriated by the state.
1t has also been decided by the board
that hereafter the business transacted
by the promotion department will be
recorded in a publication and sent out
to the members annually. Mr.. Rodgers
said that that is to be done for the pur-
pose of advising every member just
what is being done or has been done
by the board and other officers of the

RITCHIE IS TRYING
TO DODGE MURPHY
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]


San Francisco, Jan. 15.--Champion
Willie Richie will not put up his $4,000
forfeit for his scheduled 2O-round
match here January 80, with Harlem
Tommy Murphy, and it is almost certain
that Promoter James w. Coffroth will
call off the bout here before night.
"The forfeit will not be posted to-
day." Harry Foley, Ritchie's manager,
said, "nor for three or four days, If at
all. Besides, / intend to ask Coffroth
for another postponement until early
in February"
Foley was scheduled to meet Coffroth
late this Afternoon, and ask for further
extension Of time. Coffroth flatly an
nounced that, unless Ritchie posted his
forfeit before night, he would call the
match off
"'I mean every word of what said, "
said Coffroth shortly before noon. ~
am tired of Ritchie's foOlishness. 1t
begins to look to me as if he does not
care to meet Murphy"
Foley Defiant.
Foley was in defiant mood this
morning, and said he did not care what
Coffroth did
"If Coffroth grants us an extension
of time" he said, "why all right. II
he decides not, it is all right, too. We
are not going to post any forfeit until
we find that Ritchie's foot is well
again. Willie went out for long walk
this morning to try out his foot. Nat
urally, after the rest, IL was stiff, and
he will have to continue his jaunts to
walk the stiffness out. He will take
daily walks for the next three or four
days, and If, at the end Of that time,
the foot feels all right, the forfeit
money will be put up, If not, We will
keep our money until the foot is right,
II Coffroth does not want to wait, II
will be all right with u.s."
II the match is definitely called off,
Manager Buckley will claim the title
by default on behalf Of Murphy, and
from the present temper Of San Fran
cisco fans according to Coffroth, about
90 per cent of them would recognize
Buckley's claim.

DESTROY THE DESTROYER.

In his book, MANS Value to soci-

says: "Statisticians reckon the aver
age mans value at 5000 year. Each
worker in wood. iron or brass stands
for an engine or industrial plant worth
100000, producing at per cent, an
income of 5000. The death Of the av.
erage workman, therefore, is equiva-
lent to the destruction Of $4,000
mill or engine. The economic loss
through the non-productivity Of 10000
drunkards is equal to one Chicago hre.
involving $200, 100000"
This does not take into account the
cost Of the crime and pauperism
which 10000 drunkards entail upon
the public, nor the degeneracy Of
drunkards' offspring which adds enor.

A sure way of solving the problem
Of the high cost Of living is forcefully
indicated by Dan Polling in an appeal
to the voters of the country. Have
you ever stopped to consider" he
says, what two billion dollars would
do toward solving that problem?
do you think that it would help II
we could find two billion dollars some
where?
1--WE have found two billion dollars!
Two billion dollars worse than lost!
In round numbers, the drink bill Of
the United States represents an in
vestment in body, mind and soul de-
struction of $1,000 for each family in
the country. When we remember that
there are unnumbered families that
have no drink bill at all, we begin to
form hazy conception Of the drink
ing families of the nation. Liquor
money is generally bread money, meat
money, shoe money, and money that
ought to be spent for clothing. Some
stomach goes hungry for bread, some
feet 60 poorly shod, some body goes
inadequately clothed, in order that the
liquor traffic may crafty the unspeak'
