Gather up all your old papers and
magazines, tie them into packages and
place them just outside your front
door. The patriotic women of Salem
who are interested in the Red Cross,
and the patriotic boys and young men
win do the rest.
The work of collecting all the old
papers and magazines in the city, to be
sold for the Red Cross will begin to-
morrow morning and when the fire
whistle blows at 9 O'Clock its the signal
that the collecting is on.
If every family in the city averaged
ten pounds, that would mean more than
5000 for the Red Cross. And while the
men and many women are buying the
second Liberty bonds, the good house
keeper is asked to do her bit just in
collecting old papers and placing them
in bundles outside the door by 8 o'clock
Saturday morning.
The boy twelve years old may help
tomorrow by ~telephoning to one of the
women who have charge Of a collecting
district. The young men Of the high
school may work off some Of their foot
bali energy by offering their assist
ance. Right now what is needed, is the
use of automobiles and the willing
spirit of the young men who can give
their time Saturday. This is a big cam
paign for the Red Cross and the serv.
ices of an hundred boys. and young men
are needed, in order that the work may
be finished Saturday.
The city has been divided into dis
tricts as follows:
Mrs. Clifford Brown in the district
bounded on the west. by the river,
south by Union street, east by High
street, north by Market.

.PRUNE CROP SMALLER
THAN FIRST EXPECTED
Entire Northwest Is Short and
Larger Sizes Are
Very Scarce

''The prune crop will be about fifty
per cent short of the first estimates, -
said Manager Paulus, of the Salem
Fruit Union this afternoon. The sizes
too, he said, are much smaller than
usual. Reports made by the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle railroad are to the
effect that there will be but 35 cars of
prunes in Clarke county, Washington,
as against 100 ears last year. This is
a large decrease from the estimates of
even a month ago. Most of the pack
ers will be so short of the larger sizes
30-40s, 40-50s, and 50-50s that short
deliveries will have to be made. The
crop in this district will be only fifty
per cent of first estimates and these
were only for twothirds of a crop,
making the yield this year only about
one-third of an average. But few 30
40s are showing up in the grading. Ow-
ing to no packers being able to quote
prices they have gone up on all the
larger sizes, and these grades have all
advanced in the eastern markets. Cali
fornia is finding her grades running
small also, and just as other sections
have from the extra hot and dry sum
mer. The quality is good, the per
centage Of sugar being higher than
usual.
The Salem Fruit Union is packing
from $500 to $500 boxes daily, but
has shipped none yet owing to the in
ability to get a sufficient amount of
the larger sizes, as a great quantity
has to be handled to get any showing
of the larger grades. Manager Paulus
has written patrons to hurry up their
deliveries so an early cleay up can be
made, which will be done this year
early owing to the short crop and in
creased demand. This too, in spite of
the fact that season is about two weeks
late.

Selling Curbed
at Camp Lewis Today

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Oct. 12.-
Liquor selling at this cantonment re-
ceived a setback today that in all prob
ability will leave a discouraging effect
upon any future attempt to dispose of
the stuff to national army soldiers.
Three men,, B. C. Jack of Everett, Jack
Thompson and c. Thornton are in the
Tacoma city Jail, following a raid on
Jacks confectionery store last night,
charged with bootlegging inside the
military reservation. Under the floor
of the store, the military police found
quantities of whiskey and alcohol in
casks, which was confiseated. That
Jack had been doing a thriving bust
ness with the soldiers was indicated, of.
ficers say, by his accounts, which show
that many of the men owed him for
LIQUOR.

ANARY HOME
FROM NATIONS CAPITAL.
Says East Is Alive With War
Spirit and Determination
To Go Ahead

Senator Charles L. McNary says 1t is
a great pleasure just to stand around
and note the green grass and the gem
eral aspect of freshness in this portion
of the Willamette valley after travelling
over the barren country of Montana,
Idaho and the northern states.
The Senator with Mrs. McNary ar
rived in the city last evening after
travelling four days. They will stay
here until the latter part of November,
returning to Washington when congress
convenes December l.
In speaking of his new months in
Washington Senator McNary said:
"The East is alive with the war
spirit and a determination to prosecute
the war. The government is making
tremendous strides in the direction of
equipping the army and navy and
mobilizing the our of the country.
"There is a feeling that this. country
should do its utmost in a strong sharp
blow and that such action will tend to-
wards ending the war.
"At Fort Meyer, across the Potomac
from Washing ton, is located an Of.
fieers' training camp and naturally in
Washington soldiers may be seen every
where and the city takes on a military
air.
military authorities believe that
the war will be decided by the airships.
Oregon has com into the notice of
congress as the country has been
obliged to come to this state for its
spruce for airships and to this extent,
Oregon will play its part in bringing
the war to a close. Oregon's lumber is
also making possible the construction
of wooded ships as the length of tim
Der required can only be obtained in
this state and Washington.
"The bill for the survey of a coast
military highway will come up at the
next session of congress. This national
military highway is favored by the
western congressman, as well as those
from the south and Atlantic coast. The
military department also favors the
construction of such a road.
at is a wonderful relief to see the
Willamette valley after travelling so
many thousand miles over a parched
and uninteresting country"
Senator McNary will remain in the
city about six weeks before returning
to Washington.

The German language seems to be
losing its popularity in all the schools
and colleges of the state and the same
is true of the high school OF Salem
Last year about 125 were studying the
language while this year but 80 students
are reading German and 35 OF these are
in the senior class. Only nine students
took I'D the study of German for the
first time, and with so few coming on,
it is doubtful if there will be enough
German students to justify the engaging
of a teacher of the German language
another year. 1t is probable that Salem
with other cities ON the coast will find
the French and Spanish language of
greater benefit from a business as well
as literary standpoint, especially for
high school students. AS there was no
Spanish teachers to be had, the classes
in Latin have largely increased in the
