begging for takers. All petroleum

Chamber Of Commerce Sends Dele.
gates to Create Interest in Show.

On Thursday morning a delegation
representing the Manufacturers and
Land Products show, to be held at
Portland, starting next week, will ad-
dress the school children of the city
at the high school auditorium, with
the idea of creating juvenile interest
in the big exhibition. The party,
which consists of A. u. Kingsley, d.
G.. Freeman, 0. M. Plummer and Col.
H. B. Miller, will be met at the train
by members Of the school board who
will accompany the visitors to the
high school. In a letter to the Com
mercial club the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, which has charge of the
exhibition in that city, announced the
arrival of these gentlemen, and spoke
of them as being very forceful and
well advised speakers. Because the
Commercial club has no facilities for
the entertainment of the guests they
will not address that organization at
luncheon, but will leave about the
noon hour for Monmouth, where they
will speak to the students at the
Normal school, Later the same day
the gentlemen will speak at Endepen-
dence.
The educational features of the
Manufacturers and Land Products
show are prominent and to interest
the school children of the state in
this department. the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce is sending such dele
cations to all parts of the state. Polk
county is taking more than usual in
terest in the show for many reasons,
and was the first county to secure
reservation of space for her exhibit.
The booth representative Of Polk
county and her agricultural suprem-
acy will be in the same prize win
ming class as that at Salem recently,
if Mrs. Winnie Braden, who is in
charge Of the participation, develops
the plans that she has in mind. \

Independence Service.
Voters Cannot Register.

A few citizens have presented them
selves at the county clerk s office re-
Gently to register as voters, and seem
ed disappointed when told that the
books were locked up and that there
would be no more registration until
after January first. There will be nc
election of any kind until spring, al
though many residents of the county
seem to have a notion that they will
miss some of the fireworks if they are
not promptly registered. Under the
new registration laws when a voter is
once registered the matter is settled
for once and for all unless he changes
his precinct. The registration books
open Immediately after the first of
the year.

would consist of six divisions. the
country now had more than six times
that number of men in France.
These divisions, the chancellor said,
were adequately supplied. and every
man who had dropped had been re-
placed. II was one of the most mag

formed. and nothing like il, he said,
had ever been done before by any
country.

the ammunition had to be changed in
the middle of the war, and to secure
supplies substitute contracts were
given tn between $500 and 5000
firms. When il was found they could
not keep up the supplies. the govern
