the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A tenant
recently gave notice that he was I'M

Some time ago scarlet fever broke

Great Automobile
Display at State Fair

What is expected to be the largest
showing of automobiles ever held in
the state Of Oregon will be feature of
the 1917 Oregon state fair, according to
Secretary Lea, of the state fair board,
who has made definite arrangements
for holding the show this year. 1t will
be under canvas and it is believed will
create great deal of interest.
1t is understood that automobile men
are intending to make a banner show
ing on account of the fact that it is
expected that great impetus will be
given to automobile sales within the
next few years. This impetus is ex
pected on account of the improvement
of the roads throughout the state be-
cause OF the road bnd issue.
One of the features of the show that
is being worked out by Secretary Lea
is the giving away of an automobile. 1t
was planned at first 10 have automobile

Wilson'S speech the cause

London, July 10-England is watch
ing keenly the struggles Of the German
people to achieve more democracy in
government. Practically every British
correspondent in Holland and Denmark
who contributed to the lengthy discus
sion of the German situation in newspa-
pers today attributed the German
movement for liberalization directly to
President Wilson S appeal to the Ger
man people.
Details of the German internal situa-
tion received here indicated the demand
for liberalism is spreading far beyond
the mere socialist routes to reform. A
number of political leaders heretofore
staunch supporters of the government
in all its autocratic moves, are among
those who have brought the empire to a
political crisis.
What was of particular interest TO
Germany was the assault which is be-
ing made against Admiral Won Capelle,
Won Tirpitz successor as chief of the
frightfulness campaign. The opposition.
it was held here, was the logical out
come of long campaign of falsity as

COMMISSION ISSUES
WARNING TO SHIPPERS
They Are Told To Use Extra
Diligence In Loading and
Unloading Cars

Warning was issued by the Oregon
public service commission yesterday
that another serious car shortage crisis
faced the state and the country at large
land it urged that carriers, shippers
and receivers of freight assist as much
as possible to conserve transportation
facilities and help win the war; 1t
will be necessary, the commission
points out, for all hands to cooperate
so that the recent car shortage situa-
tion will not be repeated.
In its warning, the commission says
as follows:
Carriers, shippers and receivers of
freight are warned: That the country
| is aoain facing severe car shortage
and unless everybody does his part, a
most serious and distressing situation
will develop. With large increases in
freight traffic due to our war and the
necessity for prompt movement of fall
crops, which begin within another
month, will come the crucial test of
the transportation facilities of the
country. The war board has already
taken charge of and is distributing
equipment regardless of ownership, in
an attempt to meet this crisis.
No effort should be spared ON the
part of the carriers to get equipment
OF all kinds in the best possible condi-
ton, and move cars and company ma
terial with the utmost dispatch. Unless
effective voluntary cooperation can be
relied upon to improve the situation,
drastic regulations will become inevi-
table.

To order cars in writing, stating num-

desired, kind of freight to be shipped,
and the final destination. Application
for cars should be made in writing, to
an official or agent at point nearest
the station, switch or siding where the
cars are to be loaded.
To bear in mind freight ears are for
transportation of goods and are not
warehouses, and while they are idle
waiting for loading and unloading,
from the standpoint of efficiency, they
might as well be out or existence.
Full cooperation between shippers
and railroads, and with this commits
sion win do mucl to assist in relieving
a serious situation.
If shippers or consignees who have
trouble with respect 10 cars, will in
form the public service commission at
Salem, it will be pleased to take the
matter up promptly with the proper

Newspaper Advertising
Pays, Says Promoter Of
Recent Albany Roundup

Albany, Or, July 1O.-The value OF
newspaper advertising over any othe.
kind is shown by the success of the
! Western Oregon Roundup here last
week. The attendance here was far
greater than that of last year, while
the Philomath roundup last month suf-
fered loss of go per cent in attend
ance from last years show and other
smaller round-ups in the western part
OF the state experienced a loss also.
Ralph K. Cronise, publicity manager
for the Albany round up, relied alto
gether ON newspaper advertising. He
ran advertisements in most of the pa
pers in western Oregon, particularly
those IN this section of the state and
as a result these papers gave the round
up considerable news space too.
The crowd at the Albany round up
the first day was not any larger than
expected, but on the second day a good
crowd was present and on Wednesday.
when the finals took place, the man
agement needed a larger park. Long
before the first race the grandstand
was crowded and by the time the after
noon program started so many were
standing that the management refund
ed them their grandstand admissions.
All around the arena in front of the
bleaehers people stood all afternoon,
every seat being occupied. Many peo-
pie never entered the ground at all
when they found they could not get
seats. Mr.. Cronise is given much of the
credit for the large attendance, because
of his successful advertising campaign.
