NEW YORK, Sept 6-John Arm

This interesting fact was brought
out In the supreme court before JUS

result Of his long continued fight

without hrst returning to Blooming
dale, from which he escaped in 1901,
he has incurred indebtedness OF close
to $50, 900.

grant the request Of Chaloner's at

my amusements to count the cord

Mr.. Newton has been a farmer and

URGE REPEAL OF
BORLAND MEASURE

Justice for Georgetown demands re-

With this battle cry, officers OF the
Georgetown Citizens Association are
preparing to lead a new assault on
this piece OF District legislation,
which they describe as vicious.
Owners Must Pay.
This legislation provides that the
property holder must pay for street
laying along his frontage.
Georgetown Is particularly hard hit
by the amendment Before the ANAL
gamation Of Georgetown with the city
of Washington. Georgetown's streets
were paved by the community. Much
Of this paving was ancient cobble and
brick sidewalks.
After Georgetown became a part OF
the city OF Washington, taxes paid
by its residents and business men
went Into the general fund and were
used for the Improvement OF the

laid throughout the northwest sec

Sugar Sold Only
In Small Quantities

We haven't quite come to the sugar
or bread tickets, but there is the next
thing to it on the purchasing of sugar.
Today in Salem the leading grocery
stores are not selling sugar by the sack.
And not only that, but they are refus-
ing to sell householders in amounts
more than one dollar IS worth at a
time. And more than that, if the
householder attempts to buy too often
or does little shopping at several
grocery stores, the chances are she will
come under suspicion. According to
the wholesale price, there is but a
small margin of profit for the grocer
who sells II pounds for 81. Hereafter
there will be no offering of sugar as
leader, as this practice has already
come under the ban of the federal food
commission. Any grocer who might
suddenly begin buying of the wholesale
houses an unusually large amount of
sugar, will come under suspicion. There
are plenty Of penalties for the retailer
and wholesaler who attempts to avoid
the rulings of the federal food COM
mission.

Russian Embassy Changes
Attitude on Situation

Washington, Nov. 23.-With the war
boards statement of the governments
changed attitude toward Russian sup
plies came a significant change OF
sentiment at the Russian embassy here
today. Lenine and Trotsky, leaders OF
the revolt, were pictured by embassy
Officials not as German-inspired re-
dictionaries, but as sincere, patriotic
and well meaning Missionaries.
''We have no evidence that Lenine
is German spy" said a high en-
bassy official. fHe has always been
a leader of radical socialism in Rus
sia. He was declared fugitive by the
Kerenskv government, not because of
any pro-German activities, but because
he was charged with melting insurrec-
ton to Kerensky."
Trotsky was regarded by this Off
cial as "Lenine's brilliant and mag.
netic mouthpiece.
Apparently strike of telegraph
ers at Petrograd has interfered with
Ambassador Francis reports to the
statd department. His last dispatch
was dated the eighteenth. Up to that
time he had reported no evidences of a
separate peace move, engineered by
Lenine and Trotsky.

ante-climax tomorrow afternoon.
With the championship decided last
Saturday through Ohio State IS victory

out the schedule.
From the advance sale of tickets, il
is evident that interest centers in the

nalizes its return to rne Big Ten by
elashing with Northwestern. Despite
the Wolverines unexpected licking al
the hands of Pennsylvania last week
and the wrecking of its eleven under

favorites.

Illinois and Minnesota hook up at Ur.

Ohio State and tied by Chicago. MINI

Minnesota makes them a second choice

Goodbye, old stamp, it Is nasty luck

When others failed you gamely stuck
But now you we got to go.
So here s a flood of honest tears,
And here s an honest sigh
Goodbye, old friend of many years
Goodbye, old stamp, goodbye.
Your life has been varied one,
With curious phases fraught-
Sometimes a check, sometimes dun,
Your daily coming brought;
Smiles to a waiting lover s face,
Tears to a mothers eye,
Or joy or pain to every place
Good bye, old stamp, goodbye.
You bravely teiled, and better men

Although you have been licked, t wa

A maiden s answer, soft and sweet,

The patter ofa baby's feet
Goodbye, old stamp, good-byei
What wonder, then, that at this time
When you and must part,

The promptings of my heart,
Go, bide with all those memories dear
That live when other die
You We nobly served your purpose here--

every month in French money. A French
franc is worth about 90 cents.'
