On every side evidences accumulate
to prove that It Is your patriotic duty
to send smokes to the boys In France.
Here is a bit of arithmetic which
may interest you
What High Prices Mean.
When the American soldier pays 20
francs. or about $3.50 for a single
bag OF tobacco, he spends as much a.
It would cost you to keep him ade-
quately supplied with smokes for
fifteen weeks.
By contributing S3T5, or fifteen

24-OUNCE BOMBS BREAK
NFORT MYER STUDENTS

Bombs Weighing a pound and a half
will be used in the first bomb-throw-
ing practice at Fort Myer this week.
College athletes trained in throwing
the discus will have an advantage,
as the bomb is thro- n with the stiff
arm, hop, and foot-shift, and not the
frea-arm hurl OF the baseball pitcher.
When the heavier hve-pound bomb
practice begins the bowling ians at
the camp will have their inning. as
these heavier bombs are thrown in
much the same motion used IN bowl
ing.

train and got into waiting automo-
bile. Lou and Roy Maple with their
women relatives were in the automo.
bile. The liquor was taken with them
from the train and seized by the of.
ficers when the arrest was made.
Herth and Lester Maple pleaded gull
ty this morning and were fined, but the
two other men pleaded not guilty.
Deputy Sheriff's Beckman and
Christoffersen, of Multnomah county,
had been appraised that the shipment
was coming and they came to Salem
and boarded the Southern Pacific train.
They expected the men would take the
liquor on through the Woodburn. AS
soon as they got off at Woodburn the
arrest was made. Sheriff Needham was
called and the liquor brought to the
Marion county court house where it
now is.
The police court was a lively scene
this morning when the men were fined
and the bail set. At first Police Judge
Race, who is ex.officio a justice of the
peace, set the bail Of Lon and Roy
Maple at 5000 each but they did not
have the money to pay fine of Herth
and Lester Maple and deposit on the
bail, so they induced the judge to re-
duce the bail to 800 each. One Of
the men went to Portland to get his
money out Of the savings bank to put
up bail, and is expected back this
evening.
