The Island Was Bought,
Aid. Allan, For a Play Spot,
And NOT For a Shambles

The attention of Alderman Adams con-
stituents in the Fourth ward is called to
his opposition TO Alderman Littlefield 5
proposal that the use of Belle Isle by
motorists be restricted TO the outside
boulevard drives.
Alderman Adams position is antagonis-
tic in spirit to the public Fairgrounds
sentiment in Detroit
The public playground is the quick and
sure solution of fatal accidents to chill
dren in the streets.
Belle Isle, properly restricted against
motorists, would offer the children not
only place that would provide good,
fresh. pure air for the lungs in their de-
veloping bodies, but a place where they
could play without the street dangers
that have come with the motor age.
This Is the ONE spot where children
might 60 for their recreation and for the
mir the auto can take one to, while the
drives open to autoists are many-as
many as there are streets and boulevards
IA the city and roads in the state.
Alderman Allan voted with the vets
In the common council recently when the
matter of publicity for the proceedings
Of the council was an issue.
His position against keeping the autos
On Belle Isle DOWN, when they should, as
: matter Of fact, be kept off altogether,
shows him to be so woefully lacking in an
appreciation Of his duty and interest in
his constituents and the common people,
that we do not blame him for wanting the
proceedings suppressed
Belle Isle was acquired by the city of
Detroit for the people of the Fourth
WARRIOR tired mothers and fathers and
their children.
The Times appreciates that there are
drivers, and that they are in the great
majority, who could safely be permitted
the use of the island drives, but the trou-
bic is that opening the island to them,
opens 1t also to fool drivers, in whose
hands the auto becomes thing of death.
BY restricting all autos we would take
the only means of precaution against the
FOOLS motorized dreadnaught.
Aid. Adams proposal would turn the
breathing, the beauty and the play spot
which We claim the grandest in the world,
into shambles, and it amounts to
sacrilege.

This marks the passing of the first mile stone, | some believe, in the life of the oldest organization of it's kind in Arizona, for | 1t has passed out of that period when ! the purpose could best be served by meeting in the homes, much as the members will regret the loss of inti- macy. Another departure is the very attractive tWelvepage year book, con- taining the first purely local consti- tuition the chapter has written, under the direction of Mrs. Estelle Armstrong, author of a very clever book on the | Indian service.
 The program, as outlined, provides among other things, for the usual ! infants chest for the Associated Char ities, as inaugurated by Mrs. Ed Shaw, during her first year of the regency,
 besides two additional features of phil
 anthropy namely the Red Cross as-
 sistance, Mrs. L. E.. HeWins, chairman
 and a pledge for the annual scholar ; ship in the McRae Institute, a school
 for the mountain white children of the
 south situated at Banner Elk. North
 Carolina. This is under the direction , of Mrs. Harry B. Pryor, a cultured , southern woman, who will be able
 shortly, to announce a very attractive
 plan for the raising of this $50 scholar , ship.
 The patriotic education, as of interes
 locally, is under the direction of Mrs

LAST ONE ALIVE WINS.
How Soldiers in the Trenches Pool
Their Money.

William J. Robinson, who spent a
year in the British trenches in
France, tells the following about the
life of the British Tommy in the
June Worlds Work:
"When the regiment goes into &C
tion a crowd of fellows get together
and put all the money they have in
pool. They give it to some one
who stays behind, and he has instruc-
tions to hand all the money to the
last one left alive. Sometimes they
arrange it so that they draw the
money every time they come out OF
action, and in this way they get the
use of it from time to time. If ten
fellows put in ten francs each, and
when they come out five of the ten
fellows left, each of the remaining
five has doubled his money. 1t is
the only gamble I ever saw in which
a fellow cannot lose, for if he is
knocked over he certainly has no in
terest in money matters"

A Lafayette Story.

Iwell remember, when little boy,
hearing my father tell story that
his father told him about the great
Lafayette, who was such a warm
friend of the United States, then In
the making, when Lafayette came
back to this country on visit. My
grandfather met him at a reception,
and as an evidence of his tact and
humor, to one man to whom he was
introduced Lafayette said:
Chow do you do? Are you a mar
ried mani" The man replied, Eyes,
sir"
And Lafayette said, "Happy man!
Happy mani"
The next man to whom Lafayette
was introduced was asked, "Are you
q married man." and replied, "No,
SIR
Whereupon Lafayette said, LUCKY
dog! Lucky dog!"-From speech
at New Bedford by President Elliott,
of the New Haven.

Market Went Wild
and Wheat to $l.75

Chicago Oct. 23.-opening of the
grain pits today was marked by intense
excitement as speculators wildly bid for
wheat, confident that the long predicted
shortage was now fact and that the
leading grain would go to 50 before
long The statement of seabourd ex-
porters that the United States has sold
as much wheat as it can comfortably
spare also tended to stimulate buying.
December wheat at noon was 4 Ia cents
above last Saturdays close, while May
had risen four points. December was
up two over today's opening at $1.15,
and May up IS at $1.74 rs.
Corn showed good gains on heavy
buying. December was up 9 3-s cents
at SO 3-S cents, and May up 3.4 cents
at SO 3.4.
Oats took strength from other grains
and December was up l is cents at
80 Ia cents and May up l 3-s cents at
sc rs cents.
Provisions were higher.

GOmpers Urges Labor
to Support President

Washington, Oct. 90 Organized
labor's first official appeal to its mem
bership in behalf of President Wilson e
reelection was made .pubic today at
the American Federation of Labor
headquarters. 1t is in the form of a
circular letter to all officers of oagan-

er the issues of the campaign and see
to it that wage earners go to the polls
to protect their interests against wall
street"
The letter is signed by Samuel Com.

able to secure recognition for the
rights of human beings and opportuni-
ty for all to participation in the af-
fairs of the nation in q degree that
never before has been accomplished. -

CLOVER BRINGS HIGH PRICE

Two wagon loads of red clover seed
marketed in Eugene yesterday brought
Sl0S7, or in the neighborhood Of ii
cents a pound,
The seed was raised on the Middle.
dale farm near Creswell and was sold
to j. j. Light, who conducts feed
store on Ninth avenue east.
The raising of clover for seed is be-
coming more popular in Lane county
than ever before. The farmers who
have tried it and have properly cared
for the crop have found il to be very
profitable, as evidenced by the good
price received for the two wagon loads
sold in Eugene yesterday.
This has been good season for the
clover, say the farmers. The weather
was about right during the summer
and while few showers in September
during thrcsbing time, threatened TO
damage the crop, there was not enough
rain to cause any great worry.-Eu-

Bishop Arthur Lloyd
Reflected President

st. Louis, Oct 23.-Thc opposition
to the reelection of Bishop Arthur Sci.
don Lloyd as president of the board of
missions, was crushed in the house of
deputies this afternoon and that body
concurred in his election by the bishops,
The deputies took this action, how.
ever, only after a vore by dioceses, in
which considerable opposition to both
Llo"d developed. This opposition was
based on Bishop Lloyd S action in send
ing Episcopal church representatives to
a Pan-American missionary conference
of nOn-ritualistic bodies in Panama
City last year. The high church party
helds that Bishop Lloyd exceeded his
rights.
1t was learned the conference would
be adjourned next Friday evening and
with much business still on the calendar
of both houses of bishops and deputies,
the night sessions will begin tonight.

Big Fire Raging
in Los Angeles Harbor

Los Angeles Harbor, Oct. 23.-A
fire furiously raging in the California
Fruit Products company's warehouses
at Terminal Island here this afternoon
threatened shipping in the immediate
vicinity.
With the blaze still raging at 3 p.
m, it was estimated that damage ex-
ceeding $250,000 had been done.
The conflagration was caused by an
explosion of large gasoline container
which was quickly followed by a blast
of 10000 gallons in another tank.
Herbert Mcintyre of Long Beach, an
employe, was severely burned. He,
with two others, was rushed to hos
pital here.
Fire apparatus from Los Angeles and
Long Beach was summoned. 1t was
feared that the blaze would spread to
nearby ships, as it appeared to spread
beyond control of fire fighters. Docks
were reported burned at several places,
but the fire there was not serious.
