Between Is and 20 men have been
exempted and returned to their homes
by reason of having dependent families.
A considerable number of others are ex-
pected to be released later for the same
reason.
Examining physicians and high army
officers at the camp express indignation
at the careless action of many district
examining boards in sending men here
known to have dependents or those who
m%anifestly are unfit physically for SER
vice. Several men here who were re-
jected when they tried to enlist prior
to the draft were readily certified by
draft boards as fit. One instance is re-
corded where a man in the last stages
of tuberculosis came to camp from a dis
lance of more than a thousand miles
away. When questioned by army sur
geons, he said the home physician who
certified him for service abroad that
while he knew the man would finally
be rejected, ''the trip would probably
do him good"

Salem Public Library
Has 1857 Volumes

The total number of volumes in the
Salem public library October l wa:
1857, according to the report of the
librarian, Miss Flora M. Case. During
September Is books were added by
purchase for the adult readers and five
for the juvenile.
The month showed a large increase
of circulation compared to one year
ago, as the September circulation OF
this year was 1926 while one year aga
it was 1885. The average daily circula-
ton last month was 140.
The patrons of the library number
6554. Those doing the heavy reading
have not begun their winter work yet
as the readers of fiction are greatly in
the majority. Those reading what
might be called the more solid sub
jects will probably make a showing the
next few months especially as the Will
lamette University students and high
school pupils will be putting in their
calls for educational works.
AS gifts for the soldiers and sailors,
the library has received 652 books.
These have been shipped to the central
collecting library at Portland where
they will be assored and sent to the
different environments.

Jason Jarvits is a home loving man.
He loves to sit about in his carpet
slippers reading the papers, and he
loves his wife, Corona, dearly, but
hates to hear her complain of his
shiftless habits. Now, as she keeps
complaining of them from morning
till night, Jarvis finds it extremely
difficult to keep his mind on his pipe
and his paper. He thinks of spending
his time at a club or at movies, but
is inherently such a home loving man
that the very thought is repungent to
him. So he'stands his wife IS ~unceasing

he sees in the paper .(while he is smok-

The worlds series is ended and Chicago wears the
Knickerbocker scalp on its belt in the most prominent
place. 1t was a fine series and at the end of the fourth
game was even money. The Porkopolis bunch however
developed a barrel of pep in the fifth meeting and gave
the fans one of the most spectacular games in baseball
history. Each team had won every game played on its
own grounds when Pork and Stocks met in what proved
to be the final game, but which according to the other
games should have gone to New York. 1t was a great
game too, but the Giants were outplayed and out classed,
and all the COW bells and noise the home rooters managed
change these conditions. Under the rules neither team
nor any of their players can play again this year. This
cuts out an arranged game at the Yaphank or Mineola
army camps.

The Poles are raising an army of their own that will
fight under the Polish flag, and are recruiting it from all
countries. This is according to the sentiment that for
centuries has placed the Pole in the front rank of every
army that has batted for freedom. They have had less
of it for a century than most people, but it is not because
they were unwilling to fight for it. The Polish flag will be
another raised in opposition to Germany.
