All Marion County
Covered by Campaign
to Conserve Food

Organization in the food substitu
ton movement is making splendid pro.
gress Salem and throughout Marion
county and all is in readiness for the
big Hoover, family pledge card cam.
paign for next week.
Manager Ivan Mcdaniel, of the Com
mercial club, who is managing the af-
fairs of the Marion county food admin
istration, has covered the circuit Of all
the towns in Marion county outside of
Salem and reports much interest and
enthusiasm in the work. As soon as the
liberty loan campaign is over the ac-
tlvlty in the food service movement
will be renewed and then It is proposed
to carry the campaign through with a
zest that spells success without perad-
venture of doubt.
Yesterday he visited Stayton, Aums-
vile, Sublimity Turner, Marion and
Jefferson and found the local commit
tees keenly alive to the Importance of
the food substitution movement and
anxious to get to active work. Meetings
are being arranged in all of the towns
of the county and Chairman George T..
Watson, of the speakers committee,
has promised all of the chairmen of
the different communities that he will
provide speakers for these meetings.
Many of the yousg attorneys of Sa-
lem are coming forward and offering
their services but he can use several
more and will appreciate it very much
if anyone who can spare some time in
the evenings will call him us and vol
unteer his services. Women speakers
can be used to excellent advantage in
the food campaigs, as they are in po-
sition to speak with authority of ex-
perience and their arguments would
have supreme weight with the house
wives upon whom the great burden of
food saving and waste elimination win
fall. A tender of their services as speak
ers for meetings inside and outside of
Salem will also be very acceptable and
greatly appreciated by the Marion
county food administration.
The women of Salem are responding
to the call for volunteer workers with
an alaerity that does them proud and
the Salem committee hopes that scores
of them will volunteer their service for
next week s clean up campaign in the
home pledge card and membership cam
paign. Some of the ladies of Salem arc
making quiet canvass of the homes
and are securing volunteers through
this means.
County School Superintendent W. M
Smith reports that excellent and most
Encouraging progress is baisg made in
the school districts outside of incorpo-
rated towns and that he has abundant
confidence in the unqualified success
of the campaign in the country dis
trict. He says there are Is meetisgs
scheduled in the school districts of the
county for tonight and that arrange
ments art being made for meetings dur
ing the balance of this week and all
next week.

German Spies Operating
at Vancouver Barracks
and Precautions Taken

Vancouver, Wash, Oct. 26.-German
spies are operating in the army post
here according to evidence gathered to-
day.
A number of army mules have been
stabbed with pointed instrument, max
ing it necessary to Kill several Efforts
have been made to poison the water
which supplies the barracks, and, it !:
persistently reported, poisoned bread
has been found.
The post commander today flatly de-
MED that a German mad been shot as
he tried to gain entrance to the bar
racks bakery.
Both inside and outside guards at the
post have been doubled and the activi-
ties of the alleged enemy agents have
been decreased.
Colonl Jones, post commander, admit
ted today that army authorities were
conducting a vigorous investigation of
alleged attempts to poison the camp Is
source of water. Repeated attempts to
poison the water are said to have been
made.
Evidence indicates that the plotting
is the work of German agents within
the military reservation. Evidently the
plotters are soldiers or employees at the
post. Although Colonel Jones refused
to make such a statement, it is under
stood from the various precautionary
measures the army authorities take
this view.
Asked concerning the report that a
spy was shot as he entered the post
bakery, Calonel Jones said: "Although
we are doing everything in our power
to put an end to this work, we have
not reached stage where we shoot
spies and then conceal the killing"
