DEMAND IN GUARD
 FOR DENTAL SURGEONS

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-There is a demand in the National Guard fo, dental surgeins. A telegram to the War Department from Gen. Funston says:
 No dental surgeons here for any militia and our four dental surgeons are worked to death, and still unable to make any impression on the amount Of work to be done. Urge immediate action to hasten dentists to enlist in the National Guard"
 An announcement of this was made some days ago, but only one appli- cant, Dr. Tate, of Little Rock, has signified a willingness to serve. The law provides that they shall be den- tai graduates, from 21 to 27 years old. They will be mustered as first lieu tenants, with salary of $166.67 per month.

DRUNkS NOT WANTED
 IN MARINE CORPS

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 10.-With the announcement that he was a dip somaniac, a roaring rum hound, and that an enlistment would probably cure him of the drink habit, a we'll dressed young man applied for entry into the United States Marine Corps at its local recruiting station.
 "I read in the newspapers that they broke up or auctoned off all the wine glasses and l believe an enlist ment in your sober, respectable ser vice would do more for me than a course at an inebriate's school. 1 was thinking of matriculating at Keeley Institute this fall but"
 "Belay the chatter,' said Marine Sergeant Austin Fredericks, in charge of the recruiting station, land stow your ideas about the Marine Corps offering a course in sobriety. We want men but we want them sober, There's no room in our service for the man who drinks to excess. Sorry old chap. but we cant take you"
 The drink afflicted applicant left the recruiting station vowing to enlist in some military organization even though it were the Salvation Army.

COUNTY FAIR PLANS
ARE AGAIN HELD UP
CHAMBER TRUSTEES REJECT
SNOW AS MANAGER-MEET.
ING SATURDAY.

Whether Thurston county is to
have a County Fair this year and, if
it does, who it's manager is to be, will
be threshed out at meeting of the
fair committee of the Agricultural
Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce
and the executive committee of the
Thurston County Pomona Grange at
the Chamber of Commerce Saturday
evening.
The prospects that all plans for the
Fair will be dropped now, following
the refusal of the trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce to accept Po-
mona Master L. L. Snow as manager,
are reported to be quite bright, as the
Grange representatives are said to be
a unit in favor of Snow while the
Chamber trustees are said to be as
emphatic against him.
This situation arose this week, af-
ter the Agricultural Bureau at it's
meeting last Friday night had pro-
posed plans for the organization of a
permanent Fair Association and these
plans had been accepted last Satur-
day by the Grange committee, and an
organization effected. Up to this
point the proposal had been carried
forward enthusiastically and the pros
poets for a good Fair this year were
considered quite rosy.
Then the Chamber trustees, at their
meeting Monday, refused to accept
Snow as manager and SPILLED the
beans" At Saturdays meeting of the
Bureaus Fair committee and the
Grange officers, Dell Kagy had been
elected president of the proposed
Fair Association and Mr.. Snow Sec
retary, and the proposal of the Cham
Der trustees that the financial respon-
sibility for the Fair be assumed joint
ly by the Chamber and the Pomona
Grange, had been accepted by the lat
ter's representatives.
The string to this proposal. as it

held at all or not.
