Today Is New Years
Day of Jewish Race

Tho Jewish New Year began last
evening with an ornate solemn service
in all temples and synagogues. As
there is no Jewish house of worship in
Salem, there are no services held here,
but the Jewish population of the city
observe the day. This morning, where
the ceremonies took place, the service
comprised more elaborate form OF
worship and combines some yestiges of
antique ritual with expressions Of hui
man experiences and feelings true and
real for everybody aud at all times.
The Jewish New Years festival is
the oldest Of all festivals celebrated in
the civilized world. But II is unique for
its significance as well as for its anti,
quiiy. The secular New Year (on Jan.

STATE FAIR BULLETIN

State Fair Grounds, Thursday, Sept
9.-The state board of fair directors
fully realizing that the children of t,

and Quadrupled the inducements to get

Mrs. j, w. Roberts, of Salem, a
daughter of a pioneer Of 1852, con'

German Consul Objects
(, To Exposition Advertising

San Francisco, Sept. 9.-Because bill
boards, advertising the Lusitania show
at the exposition, used the term 'assass-
in" in describing the German sub
marine which sank the vessel, the big
fair has war on irs hands.
German Consul BOpp objected in a
letter to President Moore today, de-
manding that the Objectionable word be
eliminated or the concession closed.
Through the assistant executive secre-
tary, the German consul was partially
satisfied that no insult was intended,
but Director Burt of the concessions
declares positively the show will not
close
Despite the reported calming of the
consul's wrath, Germans have been
called for a mass meeting in the Ger
man house Saturday night to discuss the
situation further.
