Patient Escaped From
State Hospital Yesterday

William H. Christie eloped from the
state hospital for the insane. yesterday
evening. He was employed with the
working gang and was dressed in rough
working clothes. He is about five feet
eleven inches tall, medium build, gray
eyes and about 45 years old. He is not
dangerous and will probably make his
way south as he came to the institu-
tion from the southern part of the
state. He is possessed of the pleasing
hallucination that he is John D. Rookie
feller and in addition that he owns the
Southern Pgsific railorad, even though
the ownership of that road only sug
gests incompetency rather than in
sanity. Despite his aggregate wealth
William will probably be found walk
ing, for it is sure thing the conductors
of the S. T. TRAINS VIII not recognize in
him the supreme boss of the road.

Efforts are being made to organize
home guard. Some time last summer
there was call for such an organization
but it was found that guns were not to
be had. Today A. A. Hall, commander
of Tia Juana camp, went to Portland
to interview the adjutant general as to
the chances of getting some of the old
Springfield rifles for the use of the
Home Guards. 1t is understood that
each state is entitled to certain num-
Der of rifles, and if this is the case,
Salem would like to secure enough to
organize. A meeting will be called the
latter part of this week to hear report
from Mr.. Hall.
The sum of $3.50 more is needed to
close the annual campaign of the Y.
NJ G. A. for funds necessary for the
work of the coming year. While the as
sociation has considerable of an income,
each year it is necessary to raise by
donations about $4,000 to maintain the
work. Those on the committees of work
ers are being urged to put in some good
efforts today and Thursday in order
that by the luncheon to be given Fri
day noon, reports will show that the
$3.50 has been raised. There are so many
other things to claim the attention of
the workers of the Y. M. c. A. that it
is hoped the campaign will be closed
Friday.
The good honsekeepers need not as
yet be alarmed about the supply of su-
gar and she need be in no hurry about
lay ing in a supply for fear she will not
get her share. While in some cities the
purchase limit has been placed at 81,
there is no limit in Salem. Grocers have
not as yet been informed as to the var
icus foods that will come under the care
of the food conservation administration,
but the probabilities they will soon be
called ON to report stocks ON hand and
amounts distributed. The object of the
government seems to be to prevent
boarding of food stuffs, not only by the
commission houses, wholesalers, but al
so by the government housekeepers. Al
so to prevent speculation in foods.
