hymns.
And they say the first talking ma
chine was heard in the Garden OF
Eden.
Many a preacher acts al II his text

as far away from It as he can.
Try a little love for mending family
jars.
You can not always reckon what .
man is by what he has

a stin proposition.
You can't deliver the goods unless
you have them
The only way some men can succeed

EXPLAINING THINGS.
IDes Moines Register.1

A more immediate explanation OF
the situation Is to be found in the
course Of republican party manage
ment IN recent years. The division OF
the temperance forces between two
cand!dats two years ago and the NOM
ination OF Governor Harding by COM
binaton Of liberal republicans and wet
democrats voting in republican pr!-
maries has had much to do with the
turn in the tide. The campaign that
followed In which the dry republicans
and the dry democrats failed to make
a fusion that would hold strengthened
the opposition. The influence OF q
republican administration thrown
against the amendment could not but
be felt

II il serves to brace them up either
before or after the plunge over the

and recover from the terrific strain
better if they have their smokes: but
that does not in any degree change the
fact that cigarets are the same deadly

War Library Fund
Is Considerably Less
Than Half Subscribed

The war library fund doesn't seem
to be getting along very well in Ore
gon and Salem like other towns is fall
ing behind in collecting its quota. In
many cities, it has been found neces-
sary for the war library committees
to give entertainments as voluntary
contributions were not coming in as
expected.
The Dalles seem to be leading in the
cities of its size with $459. Corvallis
is coming along towards its $500 quo
ia without resorting to personal solic-
itations. Astoria has raised 1926 and
Eugene $239. Medford raised its quo
ia when the women took hold Of the
matter.
The subscriptions from the booth at
the fair grounds yesterday amounted
to $22.70. Saturday, the booth will be
in care of the Woman Is National Coun-
ell of Defense, with Mrs. Lillian /.
Carleton as chairman. .
Salem s quota for the war library is
$3.50 but Notwithstanding the efforts
that have been made, barely $500 has
been subscribed. This places Salem pret-
ty close to the bottom of the list as
almost all of the cities in the state have
raised more than this proportion of
their quota.

From the devastated section of
France and in fact from all parts of
that country comes the call for spe-
cialists in childs diseases. Hundreds of
small children who are homeless have
been sent to different cities in France
and it is for these, the Red Cross is
calling for physicians.
The third detachment of child IS well
fare doctors and nurses will sail for
France before the end of the month un-

Among those who have been recently
appointed, is DR.. Edmund j. Liable of
Portland, who has many friends in Sa-
lem. The demand for children IS special
lists far exceeds the expectations, wires
one of the head officers in France. The
call comes especially from the devast-
ated areas.
During the past few days, supplies
have been coming in as follows:
From the Salem knitting department:
dozen socks, dozen wash cloths and
dozen wristlets.
From Mccoy auxiliary: 33 abdominal
bandages, triangular bandages and

From Mehama auxiliary: "a abdomi-
nal bandages, 4 triangular and four

From Shaw auxiliary: 80 abdominal

Mayor Mitchell Loses
In Republican Primary

New York, Sept. 2S.-Victory in the
contest for the Republican mayoralty
nomination apparently. having been
snatched away from Mayer Mitchell by
the recount, his supporters made plans
today for running him as an independ-
ent. AS the recount in Brooklyn
progressed, William NJ. Bennett, con
testant for the nomination, was at one
time 459 votes ahead. Later this lead
was reduced to 439, in the first gain
made by Mitchell since the recount
began.
On the face Of the recount results to
date, Bennett obtained an order from
Justice Goff restraining the board of
elections from certifying Mitchell to
the secretary of state as the republi-
can candidate.
Representatives of the district at
torney's office are keeping close watch
on the rehabilitation. District Attorney
Swan had subpoenaed a number of elec-
tion officials, to be questioned<n con-
neetion with fraud charges.
Mayor Mitchell has not yet revealed
whether he will be an Independent can
didate if the republican nomination is
taken from ann.

organized.

Argentine President
Overrules Decisive Vote
of House and Senate

Buenos Aires, Sept. 2s.-President
Irigoyen regards the Luxburg incident
as closed and will do his utmost to
continue Argentine's neutrality, ac-
cording to those closest to him today.
Such a course is entirely opposite the
overwhelming svotes recently of the
senate and chambers Of deputies in
lavor of break with Germany, but the
president was believed to have com
plete veto power over such resolutions.
There was no perceptible change in
Argentine's general strike today. The
only wheels moving on railroads were
those of mail trains.

PEACE INFORMATION
BUREAU ESTABLISHED
Colonel House Will Be En-.
plOyed Preparing for Peace
Negotiations

Washington, Sept. 2S.- The United
States government has established a
peace information bureau with Colonel
f. M. House heading it, the state de-
partment declared today. At the same
time the department declared emphati-
cally that the purpose has absolutely
no connection with peace negotiations
at this time.
This indicates that President Wilson
intends to have Colonel House, his
friend and confidential adviser for five
years, head representatives of the
United States government at the world
peace conference when that time comes.
Colonel House will collect historical,
commercial and geographical Cara, such
as England and France have been
gathering for the past three years.
This information is designed solely for
use at the peace conference, when that
comes, but state department officials
were careful to indicate that the House
by no means indicates any
peace negotiations are in prospect now.
They gave as an illustration of
Houses work the situation surround
ing a railway strike. When it comes
to settlement, it was pointed out, the
conferees are primed with facts on
wages, working conditions, incomes
and expenses. Similarly, at the peace
conference, those participating will
want to know all the facts attaching
to every subject which may arise. The
department declared officially that
this goverfsent is concerned with
European territorial readjustments on
ly to the extent of seeing that they
shall be such that the world hereafter
shall be "safe for democracy
Colonel House is not empowered now
to go abroad or TO sound out either the
allies or the Teutons on the subject of
peace, it was stated. The department
said his work will be similar to that
of group of college professors and
others in England and France, who
have been collecting information for
the allies ever since the war started.

PRICE OF FLOUR SET
AT 5000 A Barrel

Portland, Or, Sept. 2S.-Pacific
coast flour prices were set at $10:20 q
barrel wholesale at meeting of millers
here last night, T. B. Wilcox, chairman
of the millers' committee of the Pa
cific coast district of the food admin
istration, said today.
A reduction of SO ton in the price
of mill feeds was also announced,
The new flour price is $3.50 under
the high mark set several months ago
and $1.40 less than the price at the
time the government announced a
basic wheat price.
Portland bakers said today they
could not reduce the price of bread.
In fact, further reduction in the size
of the loaf is likely, as Portland bak-
ers, they said, have been selling bread
on the basis of $3.50 flour.

they eat, the boys have developed abil
ity in the art of canning fruit and the

school, where the boys are graded into
first, second and third class cooks. They
not only make their own bread and bis
cults, but can make cake and other deli
cacies of the table. The actual expense
to the state for what each boy eats a
day averages about ten cents. This
amount is spent for sugar, flour and
