Pledge Card Week
Proclaimed by Executive
Of State Of Oregon
Executive Department, Salem
October 80. 1917.

Whereas, Herbert Hoover, United
States Food Administrator, has set
aside the week of October 28, to Nov
ember as the pledge card period in
the drive for the mobilization of food
saving forces. 1t is the duty of all
loyal Americans to support the govern
ment authorities in every plan caleul-
ated to hasten the successful prosecu-
ton Of the war. No person is asked to
do more in proportion to his or her
ability than any other; and
Whereas. our soldiers and the soldiers
of our allies in the world war for free
dom depend upon this country for food
as never before and with stronger right
than ever before. We must send more
wheat, more meat, more butter and milk
and more sugar if military autoeracy
is to be crushed. The war has greatly
increased food necessities but food
production is likely to be decreased
rather than increased because many
millions of men have been drawn from
their usual productive occupations; and
Whereas, in most of the warning
countries people are already placed on
a diet fixed arbitrarily. Unless we
eeonomize voluntarily in food we must
soon submit also to compulsory ration
ing. But no matter what we may do
our soldier boys will be doing much
more; and
Whereas, Mr.. Hoover believes that
the required conservation of food may
best be accomplished through the man
ayers Of the 22.000,O00 kitchens of this
country who are in a position to en-
force the doctrine of the clean plate
The campaign involves merely an ab-|
solute pledge of fidelity to an obserT-
anee of the food administration pro-
gram.
Now, Therefore, by virtue Of the au-
thority in me vested as governor OF

WHITE CAP LEADERS
MEET TO CONSULT
ON FUTURE WORK
Men Who Whipped Preacher
BigeIOw VIII Punish Other
Active Traitors

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 30.-Seven
leaders of the white cap organization
that kidnapped and whipped Herbert s..
Bigelow, Cincinnati pacifist and Peo-
ple's church pastor, met last night in
Covington, KY, to lay plans for future
action and to review events of Sunday
night, it was learned.
Two more Cincinnatians are on their
lists of prospective victims. The names
of the marked men were given to
Bigelow by the white-eaps after they
had lashed him.
One of them has been prominent in
pacifist propaganda. The other has not
been naturalized and his expressions
have caused gossip and rumor
Forty per cent of the eight hundred
members of the secret organization,
which is pledged to punish all men
suspected of disloyalty and whom the
law cannot reach, live in Cincinnati.
The remaining sixty per cent live in
Newport and Govington, Ky. The mem
bers are said to be men of substance
and standing in their communities.
Friends of Bigelow hope to break in
to the oath bound circle with offers of
rewards. Already $1,000 in rewards is
outstanding.
Bigelow is now resting at Christ hos
pital. His nerves, which held out for
hours under the strain, collapsed last
night.

BILLBOARD ORDINANCE
PASSED BY council
Provisions Make Many Re
quriements and Restrictions
Are Numerous

The billboard ordinance was passed
by the city council last evening with
but one dissenting vote. The old ordin
ance covered those WHO did billboard
advertising for compensation. The new
one makes no difference as to whether
the boards are used for compensation
or not. The license fee is $50 year.
Some of the provisions of the new or
dinance are as follows:
No billboard shall have an advertis
ing surface of more than ten feet from
the upper to the lower edges. The sur
face of all bill boards within the fire
limits shall be fire proof and of non
combustibile material. Those out of the
fire limits shall be of either fire proof
materials or of board one inch thick
All bill boards with surface of more
than 20 square feet are to be built ae.
cording to certain specifications, and
able to withstand lateral wind pres
sure of 20 pounds per square foot OF
surface exposed.
Permits from the council are neces-
sary to erect bill boards; an ornamental
board of not less than one foot wide
may be added; no paper or cloth shall
be permitted to hang loose, these are
some of the provisions OF the law.
Painting of signs on the sidewalk or
affixing advertisements on the public
streets will not be permitted nor shall
any of the paper from the bill boards
be allowed on the streets. The new law
does not in any way interfere with the
aid law requiring license of $40 for
the privilege of distributing hand bills
in the residence parts of the city.
The Portland Railway, Light and
Power company asked permission for
its men to exceed the speed limit when
going to a fire to protect its wires.
This was referred to the ordinance com
mittee, Glenn Unruh, chairman.

There is big and urgent call fol
workers in the surgical dressings at the
post office building. For the past week
or SO, only three women have reported
for work in this all important branch
of Red Cross endeayors.
The following dispatch was received
by Mrs. Rollin K. Page, at Red Cross
headquarters:
"F'rance. The following cable was
just received from Major Murphy
Millions of Red Cross standard sur
gical dressings must be sent immedi.
ately or serious calamity inevitable
American women must prepare with
greatest speed dressings which will
mean life or death to our boys. Please
give widest publicity, calling in all
surgical workers."
Mrs. Rollin X. Page and Mrs. B. o
ilaries yesterday: Woodburn, Fair.
and Waconda. Today their visits were
to the auxiliaries at Silyerton and Mt
Angel.
Two new auxiliaries were reported at
headquarters today-one to be known
as the Marion Valley auxiliary, of Ma
rion, coming in with 13 members. The
other is from Salem and will be known
as the Seventh Day Adven lists, of Sa-
lem. Its membership is 10.
The Marion Valley auxiliary report
ed today with "a bed sheets and 9 wash
cloths.
Willamette chapter was promised by
headquarters at Seattle 800 yards of
the material for khaki handkerchiefs.
But through some error, the order was
net fnleu and no more is to be had.
Hence it was necessary for the chap
ter to order material of dotted blue,
"a by "a inches, which will be used for
the wrapping of the packets to be sent
to the soldiers.
These Christmas packets will not Sc
opened here for inspection. They will
be sent as received and will be in
spected by a special force at Seattle
before being sent to any of the canton
ments or to France.

ing sent to The Dalles for treatment in
the eompany's plant Ever since locat-
ing here the company has been making
contracts with farmers for vegetables
agreeing to take all that can be grown
and assuring growers a certain market
for their products. One of the main
staples to be handled will be potatoes.
It seems rather queer to Oregonians
who leave their spuds in the ground all
winter and dig them as wanted, to
speak of dried potatoes, but the process
makes the product one that will help
win the war for it enables large
amount of food values to be shipped in
small bulk and the dried potato is
splendid substitute for cereals.
The product will all be packed in
pasteboard cartons, saving tin and also
reducing the transportation charges.
The capacity of the plant is about is
tons of finished product in eight hours,

nee ~eary to handle all materials, it
will be able to ship more than 80 tons

Warns Against Buying
From Dealers Who Use
Short Measure Basket

Inspector of Weights and Measures
Reel, has found that certain dealers
of this city doing business in the
city markets are using short
measure baskets in selling peaches
and to-day warned housewives
against buying from these men who
are leaving them under the i'm
preston that they are getting more
than they are actually receiving.
These dealers are buying peaches in
half bushel baskets and transferring
the fruit to fourteen-quart baskets
getting the same price as the dealer
who sells from the siXteen-q quart
basket. These dealers get around
the law by marking the baskets
twenty-one pounds, but they should
not ask the same price as the dealer
who sells his goods in the original
basket which should contain twenty
four pounds. The baskets are mark
ed short and are shipped here from
the southern states containing mel
ons and are bought up by these deal
ers with the express purpose of using
them in delivering the consumers
who unless familiar with different
size baskets think they are getting
a half bushel. The worst trouble
in this respect has been with certain
dealers in the Hill markethouse.

STATE TO FARM
AT INSTITUTIONS
Development of Prison and
Almshouse Being Discussed
by Board of Charities

Preliminary data for the establish
ment or system whereby inmates
OF prisons and almshouses may work
on county farms was presented to the
state Board of Public Charities to-
DAY by Secretary Wharton under au-
thority of the joint resolution passed
Dy the last Legislature. All of the
eastern and central counties have
submitted figures regarding prisons
and information about farms and as
soon as the western counties report u
system will be worked out and put
into operation in the spring.
Plans for extensions and changes
at the Farview State institution were
submitted by Henry F. Walton, chair
man of the board of trustees, and
tentatively approved. The board ap-
proved plans for the new almshouses
or the Scranton and Blakely districts
and for the new Indiana county pris-
on. Reports were made that condi-
tions at Northampton county prison
had been improved.
State farm advisers were called
here to-day for consideration of a
plan for visitation of all State in
stitutions having farms whereby adj
vice could be given for the raising
or the maximum amount of food
stuffs for their inmates next year.
The Department of Agriculture has
compiled information about the ex-
tent and character of all farms own
ed by the State at institutions and
soil surveys as well as studies of the
needs of institutions have been under
way. The advisers will take up each
particular institution and present
recommendation as to the kind and
extent of crops.

RIVERSIDE IS
NOW 14TH WARD
Residents, However, Cannot
Vote at Primaries, City
Solicitor Says

The court decree anneXing River
side to Harrisburg and designating 1t
as the Fourteenth ward was signed
to-day by President Judge George
Kunkel.
In the order the Rev. A. A. Bouton
was appointed Judge of elections; G. ].
GRIPPE, majority inspector; Harry G.
Miller. minority inspector. and placed
the polling place at HERE Brothers
Plumbing Shop. Fourth and Vaughn
streets. The election officers are only
appointed for the purpose of conduct
ing the election of ward officers. No
special election was set in the decree.
City Solicitor John +. Fox and the
county authorities now have a new
tangle to solve. The section of the
Clark act under which the Fourteenth
ward was created provides that cleo
ton officers appointed by the court
only hold the positions until success
sors are elected. and for this purpose
a special election may be called.
Must Present Petition
AS no date was set for the special
election, and the officers appointed by
the court only act at an election of
ward officers, city officials expressed
the opinion to-day that the Riverside
voters cannot ballot next Wednesday
for candidates for either city or coun-
aty otnceS.
1t was also said that, since the court
did not set a date for a special poll
for ward officers. that the residents
in the annexed territory will proba-
bly, have to present petition asking
such action.
City Solicitor Fox stated that should
a SPECIAL election be called it would
be governed by the usual municipal
election laws and could not be held in
time for the Fourteenth ward to be
properly organized so that the voters
could ballot in November.
81 doubt, however" Solicitor Fox
continued, whether the voters can
be deprived of their privilege to vote
in November for city officials. II reg
istrars are appointed by the county
commissioners, believe the voters
could register and ballot. 1t is a
question which must be thoroughly
investigated, and l will do so at once
before giving a final opinion"
1t is probable that the residents of
Riverside will take some action on
the question of losing their vote and
regarding the fling OF a petition for
a special election of ward officers.
