Scarcity Of Teachers
Is BOthering Board

Men are getting to be a scarce ar
ticle, much to the regret of lot of
folks. This also applies to the board
of education of Salem as it has ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
filling the several positions that can
be supplied by men only.
However, Notwithstanding this short
age in the available male population in
the way of teachers, all places have
been filled excepting that of a manual
training teacher for tie Lincoln jun
ior high school
Tuition for the coming year as set
by the board of directors at their meet
ing last evening is as follows: For the
elementary grades, $50 year; in the
seventh and eighth grades, $40 year
and for all grades above the eighth,
the tuition will be $40 a year.
Miss Anna Gibson was elected as
sistant librarian at a salary of $50
month and Miss Athlea Mckinney rs
secretary for Principal j. c. Nelson
at salary of $35 month. Miss Bern
stein will substitute for Miss Jones
who goes to Berkeley for special work.
The opening day of school is next
Monday and everything is now ready.

PRUNE HARVEST IS
NOW WELL IN HAND


The prune harvest is well under way
with the petites tolerably well cleaned
up. These show up well both in yield
and quality. The Italians are being
picked but the yield is not so satisfac-
tory. The first of the crop is geserally
small being the first to drop, and be
low the average in size. This is the
case this year, though the Salem Fruit
Union has not yet received enough of
the crop to make definite statement
as to quality. The Union handles only
the dried product, the green fruit 60
ing either to the canneries or the driers
That the yield will be below an aver
age seems probable and that it will
be considerable below the estimates
made a month or two ago is certain.
Then it was thought there would be
crop of 30,000,000 pounds, but this has
been reduced now to $4,000, 900. The
petites are of better quality than usual
The shortage of the crop is due to the
unpreeedentedly warm weather and its
duration. This caused the fruit
TO. drop -end. also developed a disease,
or perhaps it should be called a fault,
in the way of brown spots among the
Itaiians.
Until the harvesting of the Italians
is completed anything like close est
mate as to, the total yield of the north
west is impossible.

Further Revelations
In Oklahoma Plot
to Start Revolution

Enid, Okla, Sept. 25.-Further reve'
lations were scheduled today in the
plot of the Working Class union for a
"general uprising" in the United
States in opposition to selective mill
tary service. The government was ex-
pected to introduce several new wit
nesses in the trial of draft resisters,
to describe the wild schemes of pro-
German leaders who fomented the re-
cent demonstrations in northwestern
Oklahoma.
Witnesses have already testified
that government and state officials
were to have been killed, railroad
bridges dynamited, telegraph and tel
ephone systems demolished, highways
obstructed and wells poisoned, The
revelation was scheduled to begin
July 81.
Rube Munson was the alleged lead
er generally referred to by the wit
nesses. He was said to have led mem
bers of the Working Glass usion to
believe there were number of SINH
lar organizations in the United States
and that through the l. w. W. they
had connections with German agents.
Munson, according TO witnesses, advis-
ed tn emit was unconstitutional to
take men to foreign countries for ser
vice.

Cherrians Will Appear
In Uniform Tomorrow

The Cherrians are TO appear to-
morrow in their white uniforms and are
ordered by King Bing Lerchen to re-
port for duty at the fair grounds at 2
o clock in the afternoon in the rear of
the grand stand. For Wednesday is
Salem day and every good citizen of
the city who can possibly manage to
get away is supposed to make an ap-
perance at the grounds at least during
the afternoon.
And besides the observance of Salem
day, the Woodmen are to be in evi-
dence and also the pioneers.
Hence, in order that all may properly
celebrate, the banks will close at noon
and the postoffiee will do likewise, al
though there win be one morning de-
livery o. mail The rural >7rrrers will
make an early start The public library
will be closed the entire day. And it
is a pretty safe proposition that very
few state officials if any will be found
on the job. For Wednesday is Salem
day and the people of the ETY. are sup
posed to show their appreciation of
Salem day by enjoying themselves at
the state fair.
Instead of having a special commit
tee from the Cherrians on duty, the
entire organizatiin has been ordered

MEANS HELD FOR
mrs. KINGS MURDER
Prosecution in Sensational
Case Won Complete Victory
at Hearing
By George Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent)
Concord, Mass, Sept. 25.-Gaston B.
Means today was held to the grand
jury for the murder of Maude A. King,
following preliminary hearing before
Justice Pitts. He was remanded to iai!
without bail. He will have to answer
to the charge of shooting the million
aire woman who employed him at the
lonely Blackwelder spring near here,
the night of August 90
The prosecution came off victor to-
day in battle of its wits in the pre-
liminary proceedings.
Means attorneys served the entire
New York delegation of prosecutors
and detectives with a restraining or
der from Judge Webb preventing them
from removing the will of Mrs. King
or any of CASTOR Means papers seized
in New York and brought here in con-
nection with the case and ordering
these to be turned over to the clerk of
Cabarus county.
When the writ was read, however,
Assistant District Attorney Dooling of
New York, responding, declared that
all the papers in question had previ-
ously been turned over to Attorney
General Manning of North Carolina
and State Solicitor Clement for use in
Means prosecution.
The defense will be unable to stop
their utilization by the state by the
writ.
After this blocking of the Means
legal forces, Dooling refused to per-
nit search of rooms occupied by the
New York detectives and attorneys
here in Concord.
State Solicitor Clement spoke for
two hours in condemnation of Means,
being vigorously applauded by the au-
dience. The defendant mopped his
brow and alternately scowled and
smiled.
Attorney Frank Osborne opened for
Means and declared there was not suf-
ficient evidence upon which to hold
Means for murder He added that no
habeas corpus would be asked Os-
borne called upon the judge to remem
ber his life long knowledge of and
friendship for Means and his "knowl
edge of this defendant S good charae-
ter during all that time.

Herrod on Stand

Enid, Okla, Sept. 26.-J. C. Herrod,
aged farmer of Tecumseh, Okla, de-
tense witness in the draft resistance
trials, who attempted to take his life
a few days ago, was called to the stand
this afternoon. An alleged statement
of Herrod S was read, in which he de-
clared he would give up his life rather
than testify against his neighbors. Her
rod repudiated the statement and said
his suicide attempt was not caused by
this nor through fear of the vengeance
of members of the working class un-
ion. He said the attempt had nothing
to do with the case.
nerrod testified that the rifles and
ammunition bought by him and his
three sous were to repel mob which
was reported to have formed against
them and were not intended for use
against the government.

Business Failures

In this day OF high efficiency more
failures are due to disordered stomachs
than to any other cause. Nothing under

This condition arises from the fact
that Monday October / is the begin
ming Of the open hunting season, and
especially the first day of the pheasant
season.

ant season will be open during the

fore the legal limit of time. In Jackson
county the open season is for only ten
days and there is none at all in the
counties of Coos, Curry and Josephine.
The bag limit of pheasants is five
in one day, but differing this year
from last in the fact that it is unlaw-
ful to shoot a hen pheasant. Five pheas-
ant of the male species is the limit for
one day s shooting and ten in any sew
en- consecutive days. The penalty is a
fine of not less than $25 nor more than
$500 for violation of the hunting
laws, unless otherwise provided for by

Does AWAY with Truss

The PLAPAO-PADS are entirely diff
ferent from the article commercially
known as a truss - In fact, they are
designed to do away with bands of
steel and rubber that chafe and pinch.
Their remarkable success is due to the
principle of keeping constantly applied
the scientifically compounded absorb
cnt-astringent medication called PLA-
PAO. The purpose is to contract and
strengthen the weakened abdominal
muscles, thus closing the hernial open
ing as nature intended so the rupture
CAN T come down.
Being self adhesive, and when ad-
herring closely to the body slipping or
shifting is impossible, therefore they
are an important adjunct in retaining
rupture that cannot be held by a truss.
Demonstration Sechler, whose wide eX-
perience in this country makes him an
authority on matters pertaining to the
of PLAPAO-PADS to any
particular rupture, will be at the Ma
rion hotel Friday Sept. IS, 1917, from
10 a. m. to s p. m. and he will be pleas
ed to give WITHOUT CHARGE to all
who call, expert advice and trial for

CONSTIPATION is
A PENALTY OF AGE

Nothing is so essential to
health in advancing age as free
dom and normal activity of the
bowels. 1t makes one feel
younger and fresher, and fore
stalls colds, piles, fevers, and
other dependent ills.
Cathartics and purgatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, eff
fective laxative, recommended by
physicians and thousands Who
have used it, IS far preferable.
This is the combination of simple
laxative herbs with peps;n sold
by druggists under the name of
DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup Peps;n. It
costs only fifty cents a bottle; a
