Company M Met First
Time Under New Regime

Members of NJ Company, Third regi-

last night for their first drill under
the new regime. and after a short time
spent on the drill floor retired to a
company meeting. Information from
headquarters through Lieutenant Col
onel May was given the company to the
effect that if the men who served their
three months on the border and who
did not take the federal oath down at
Clackamas would re-enlist within 30
days they would be given credit for
that period ON their new enlistment.
Lieutenant Colonel May will be present
with NJ Company every Tuesday night
for some time, as he has business in the
Capital City.
Uniforms and equipment are expected
at an early date. according to informa-
tion received from headquarters by See
ond Lieutenant Allen. Practically all
the old property has been cleaned, the
blankets laundered, and the worn out
rifles condemned.

ALL SALEM STREETS
TO Be PLAINLY MARKED
That Is If Plans Of CONNER
cial Club Are Put In
Execution

1t is probable that as result of the
street sign investigation that a new IN.
dustry may be developed in the Capital
City that will afford considerable EN-.
ployment and bring in large sums of
money from outside cities This indus.
try is the making OF street signs.
Samples of the sign that may be
manufactured here are asked for from
the manufacturers in Detroit, Mich,
where the industry originated. The mat
ter has been taken up with the wood
workers of Salem and it is expected a
way will be found to produce the street
indicators cheaply and in sufficient
numbers to supply the wants of the
cities of the Pacific coast.
Various cities are working on
schemes for clearly labelling the streets
and the problem is being worked out
in various ways. However, the sign
manufactured in Detroit has many good
qualities especially cheapness, and dur
ability, required in permanent street in
dicators. The cost is estimated to be
about 40 cents each, which would make
the item for Salem small matter COM
pared with that for other cities.
People who have travelled consider
ably are aware of the inconvenience
and annoyance caused by arrival in a
strange city where the streets are not
clearly and sufficiently labeled. Ae-
cordingly, those who realize the need
OF such modern equipment of the Capital
City of Oregon are writing letters to
the Salem Commercial club asking that
the streets be remarked in such way
that no confusion may be caused strang-
ers visiting here. Letters are being
received by the club and as the know.
ledge of the street sign campaign grows
the number increases.
Los Angeles, whose streets are clear
iy indicated both day and night. and
Galveston, Texas, have both sent ia
verable reports to the club in its quer.
les concerning such matters in the south
land. Those cities which cater to the
great flood of eastern tourists find
that their streets must be clearly in
and various means have been
taken to give the visitor every oppor-
tunity 10 find his way about easily and
with satisfaction. 1t is pointed out
that this means a great deal to those
cities and that it will mean a great
deal to Salem in helping make it an
attractive place for the tourist to visit
and spend his money.

secrets of him who is little read but
better known as one of the greatest
thinkers of the age,
Professor MaeMurray in discussing
this great Victorian artist S philosophy
said in part:
Throughout the history of man the
meaning and purpose or life has defied
analysis. We have sought to pierce the
unknown. We are here for little while
mere crossroads in the utter darkness
| from which we came and toward which
we are iourneying. Throughout the eX'
istence of life humanity has sought the
road to the universe, the blessed road
of the Delphian oracle.
George Meredith Is we'll called the
priest of humanity, the hater of con
flict, and the destroyer of sham. lie
seeks neither the land of excitement
or the road of sensual beastiality but
selects rather the golden middle as his
mean of life. He reveals the tragedy
of souls lost in the land of sentimental
ism ms he disseets and studies the hui
man soul with microscopic intensity.
He strives to make us men and women
of iron nerve.
ellis secret philosophie belief is
found in his love of earth. As we are
earthborn so must we keep near to the
mother earth. If there is infinite space
there must be infinite life. God is not
identical in nature, but God reveals
himself in the good in nature.
"The battle of life is to develop
body, mind and spirit. The perfect life
can't destroy any one OF these. The
good in nature is the means by which
we struggle upwards and the man back
of it all is the controlling force. We
are one after 1000 years. 1t is only
through struggle, conflict and grim de-
termination that country has realized
its soul Man must reach upward to the
absolute. Life or joy is useless if truth
be not the mistress of us all. The goal
of goals is the highest manhood and
womanhood of each generation. There
is nothing that is not, hence nothing
that is not eternal. The aim of life is
in the church of reality whose only
height is reality
