Fourth Annual Corn
Show Opens In Salem

The fourth annual Marion county corn
show opened today under circumstances
very promising for what is thought will
be the best corn show ever held in the
valley. Luther J. Chapin, chairman of
the commercial club agricultural bureau
and under whose supervision the show
is being given, believes there will be
more corn for exhibition than the space
provided. The show is being held in the
Murphy building, corner State and Com
mereial streets.
Mr.. Chaplin states the entire exhibit
from the st. Paul corn show held last
week has been received and that up TO
noon today a number of exhibits had
been brought in by prominent growers
Of the valley. Entries for all corn ex-
hibits will close tomorrow night, Cook
ing exhibits, however, and corn food
products, win be allowed on Wednesday
forenoon in order that they may be
fresh at the time Of Judging.
1t is expected the first two days Of
the show will be occupied in receiving
and arranging exhibits and that We'd
nesday viii he the first real dav of
the exhibition. On that date the s>.Zing

state treasurer is candidate and Will

Cusick, of Albany are casting eyes at
the position.
DR.. u. E. Anderson, of The Dalles will
make the race for the govemorship at

leaders of the bone dry fight and is
some politician. He will make the others
put on their spurs and do some hust-
ling. Both in the 1915, and the 1917
sessions he was leader in the prohi-
bition battles.

war BABY SCARE is
WITHOUT FOUNDATION
Head Of Federal ChIdren's
Bureau, However, Suggests /,
Certain Restrictions

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The war baby
scare in America military camp towns
has proved myth by official investiga-
tion, according to Miss Julia Lathrop,
chief of the federal children's bureau,
in her annual report today.
But she warns that there is grave
danger if federal and local authorities
do not take precautions. There must be
proper policing, ample hotel and board
ing house space of unquestionable char
acter at reasonable prices for every
woman who visits a cantonment town
for any legitimate reason.
Miss Lathrop said there may be suit
able chaperonage when needed or desir-
ed. Competent women guides should
meet all incoming trains.
America s mothers and children must
receive better protection from state and
nation during the war if the soldiers sac
fificed are to be replaced by strong
healthy children, Miss Lathrop stated.
Most of the 10000 deaths among
mothers and the 100000 deaths among
American children under five years last
year were preventable. -
She urged public protection of mater
nifty and infancy.

Comes
To One Lone Woman;
Friends Found In Salem

Misfortunes never come single, :"
says the proverb:It might be added that
they generally come married and with
large families, 1t might be further ad
ded that they seldom come to the sim
gle, but pick out the married as their
targets. A case here in Salem illustrates
this and shows how misfortunes fol-
low thick and faster on each others
heels once they get hold Of the right
kind Of a victim. Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G.
Brooks were at the Southern Pacific
depot few evenings ago and noticed
a woman apparently lost as to her bear.
ings. Mrs. Brooks spoke to her and from
her story found how misfortune had
singled the woman out for venting her
spleen on. After hearing her story they
took the woman in their car and to her
temporary home at the Myrtle house
ON Ferry street. She had her little fam
lily of three children with her, the oldest
about five, boy, the second a girl Of
four and the youngest a girl Of three
years.
The woman had her rent paid for a
week, she had a few scant provisions,
and to back these up and keep the wolf
Of hunger from her little ones she had
seventeen cents.
Her husband has been in the hospital
at Eugene for a long time and this ex-
hausted their little savings Hoping to
better her condition she came to Salem
and had been here but a short time
when found by Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks.
The woman, Mrs. Skuggs, is able to
work and willing, but with her three
children she was unable to get employ.
ment for the reason she could not leave
them. The Brooks took the children
home and the attention Of the Unit
arian minister, Mr. f. NJ. Burke being
called to the family he took the young-
est child to his home and win care for
it perhaps permanently. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brooks are caring for the older girl
and also took care Of the boy until to-
day when Mr.. Emery. a well 70 do far
mer Of the Waldo Hills, and his wife
came in their auto and took the boy,
who is remarkably bright TO their home,

him. The brave little mother has had a
hard struggle to keep her little brood,
and says if her husband does not get
able to help care for them soon she will
consent to them being adopted by
others, as she feels they win be better
off and have more opportunities in this
way than if they had to rely upon her,
especially as she is unable to work and
at the same time give them the care
needed.
1t looks as though misfortune having
done her worst has left the job and that
the future will be far more roseate for
the mother and also for the little folks.

EIGHT MEN DROWNED

Chicago, Dee Slight men were be-
lieved to have been drowned when the
steamer Desmond eapsized in the heavy
seas off South Chicago this afternoon.
She carried crew of IA and the coast
guard rescued six. The latter are un-
conscious and some of them may die.
The Desmond was of the type known
as a "sand sucker She piled regu-
larly between the Michigan shore and
South Chicago. The sand obtained was
used in the steel mills in the latter
place.
The steamer was returning. loaded,
when she turned over near the entrance

District Attorneys VIII
Meet In Portland

District Attorney Max Gehlher will
leave tomorrow for Portland to attend
torneys of the state which will be held
the annual meeting of the district at
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of this week. Mr.. Gehlher is on the
program Wednesday afternoon with a
paper on "'Joint Elections,'' which is
treatment of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment making city and
state elections held at the same time,
and county and city precincts and cleo
tion boards to correspond.
Attorney General Brown has held
that the section of the amendment pre-
scribing that city and state elections
be held at the same time is self-enact-
ing, but there is some question as to
the enforcement Of those sections deal
ing with precinct boundaries and cleo
ton boards. The provisions of the law
in this respect seem to be better adapt
ed to the smaller towns than to the
larger.
Should the amendment be enforced
it means that the ward and precinct
boundaries of the city would have to
be re-arranged, which would cause re-
registration of practically all voters
within the city and large number of
those residing in adjacent county pre-
cinets. It is estimated that the cost
Of making this change and of new
booths, ballot boxes, etc, would amount
to over $1,000. ~
Theh amendment is -'grand nuis-
ance" in the opinion of city and coun-
ty officials when it comes to the re-
arranging ward and precinct boundaries
within the larger cities and the ex-
pense and Inconvenience connected
Herewith.

deny the charge, for it would have
been useless only as long as he could
hold his breath, and it surely would
have required strong, vigorous man
to have held that for the count He
