the Stream?

William Aller. fve-year-old son OF
j. l.. Aller. a farmer on the +. JEFF
ferson road, is suffering from bro
ken arm, the result of taking tum-
BILE into a creek Monday There per
haps would not be any more to this
story but for the fact that the Alters
say that Max willard, the 16-year-Old
son of Fred Willard, threw their son
into the creek.
Mr. Willard. however. denies that
it was done seriously. He stated that
the Aller boy came over to the Will
lard farm and asked Max to throw
him across the creek between the
Willard and Aller farms. Max in a
spirit of fun attempted TO do so. said
MI. willard. but the lad landed in
the creek instead.
1t has been alleged that feud OF
some kind exists between the two
families and the creek episode is a
result 1t is also said that Mr.. AlleT

A LARGE COMMUNITY ASSET

One of the greatest assets of city is strong active
central commercial organization having for its object
the commercial industrial and civic advancement OF the
community.
Salem has had for number Of years commercial
bodies of various kinds and excellent work has been
accomplished But they have not fully covered the field
or united the city forces for Development 1t is to be
hoped and it is expected that these defects will be over
come in the reorganization and consolidation now under
way 1t is to bring all the scattered forces together into
single strong virils and efficient organization insisant
and pesstant for the advancement and welfare OF the
community in all its relations civic, commercial and in
dusIia.
Nor will the activities of the organization according
to the plans prepared be confined exclusively to the city
of Salem although designed primarily for the upbuildng
of this city The organization will also interest itself In
all matters that make for the development and prosperity
of the surrounding country, thus fulfilling in the broad
est sense the proper duties and obligations of COM
munity organization.
The reorganization of the Commercial Club, now in
progress provides for campaign for large and active
membership and every citizen interested in the civic bet
tement of Salem and the development and utilization OF
the resources of the community should embrace this op
portunty to give his support in money and personal
service to the great work that the organization has in
hand.
careful canvass of the city and the conditions here
indicates that there are at least thousand individuals
corporations and firms eligible for membership in the
Commercial Club, and should be identified with it,

THE FIGHT FOR FOOD

The desperate German attempt to establish through
terror an effective blockade of the British, Belgian and
northern French coasts as we'll the Allies attempt to
take the Dardaneles of tremendous strategic pu
pose 1t is a world fight for food
The food problem if the war continues through the
summer, will be most serious trouble to the Allies,
especially to Great Britain.
All the talk about starving Germany into submission
has now been abandoned by welnfomed people.
Germany has food enough to last until another harvest
and has ample means of distributing it to its people The
Allies also have food enough yet but the means of dis
tbutng it are thus far inadequate in particulars
Russia has surplus food enough to feed all the Belgans
and to supply all the needs in France and Great Britain
but the present means of export slow and expensive
If the Dardaneles were open floods of Russian food
would flow out Hence the strong effort to force the pas
sage to the Black sea.
At present all the methods Of exporting the great re-
serve of Russian wheat is by way of Archange Finland
and Norway Sweden and Vadvostoc, Railway and ship
ping facilities by all these routes inadequate to the
pressure that the egency of the has put upon them
They are being rapidly improved but the hope of the
Allies for reduction in the high cost of food lies in the
fall of Constantnople
