Il Solicitors for the food administration
while they met with occasional rebuff
and sometimes a man who takes hi
Crouch in general out on the women
yet there is often a silver lining that
makes the patriotic work worth while
A few days ago an old lady living alone
In her home on Mort Commercial street
was approached in regard to signing
the card. She at once not only signed
the card but expressed the fear that
the committee might have possibly over
looked her, saying that she was more
than glad to assist the government in
food conservation even in her limited
way.
At the meeting of the Salem Flor
al society to be held next Monday even
ing in the auditorium of the Salem Com
mercial club officers for the coming
year viii be elected and general out
Line OF the work of the society planned.
One Of the questions to come before
the members is that of encouraging the
growing of gardens. During the past
year the society has distributed thous-
ands of rose plants. 1t has now on hand
about 10000 roses and these will be
given out where there is the assurance
proper care will be taken after once
planted.
The pledge cards of the food admin
istratiOn is telling the tale ,as to who
is and who is not with the administra-
tiOn- The residences on the block on
which the Elk lodge is located are all
patriotic on both sides of the street,
as their cards are sowing. On the block
occupied by the city hall and Wick
Bros, on High street, all have lined up
with the administration. At the Hast |
ings home the card is not in the window
as they have transferred it to their
Modern Bakery where the family does
all its cooking. The nousekeepers on
these two blocks score 100 per cent pat
riotic.
w. Z. Poster, living at 469 North Lib
'rty streets is of the opinion that the
10y who delivers the Capital Journal on
lis street is most accommodating, as he
lot only delivered the paper last night
tut laid it all nicely folded on a table
n the front rooms of the home. It seems
he boy was pretty strenuous and in
hrowing the paper to the door steps,
'ut little too much speed back of his
fforts, throwing the paper through one
f the front windows. However, as the
aper landed nicely ON the table and
he boy agreed to do the right thing, I
fr. Foster is still of the opinion that 1
he carrier up his way is hard to beat. 9
Business was not very rushing at po- $
ce headquarters during the month of /
october. The total number of arrests
vere thirteen. -Four of these were for
isplaying signs across the side walk
rom their places of business without
ne permit of the city council. Eight of
lie arrests were for violating the city IS
,affic ordinance, such as speeding and
ltting corners. One of the arrests was >;
lat of d. Samuels the second hand u y
an, for failing to register goods pur- ~ ~
lased. Mr.. Samuels, according to the "a "a
,lice record, bought bicycle from :;
1y and failed to make the record as "
.ovided by the city ordinance. All of w
e ten or more second hand stores are N,
divided with blank forms by the po- w
20 on which they are obliged to make Or
record of all purchases with des- al
iption of goods bought and the sig al
Iture of the party selling. ed
