Plan To Estertain S.A.T.C.
Boys In Homes Of Salem

A call has gone out to the people
of Salem to open their homes to the
young men who are attending William
Students Army Training Corps. Many
of the boys are away from home fol
the first time and it is thought they
would appreciate being invited out oc
casionally.
A temporary organization of the. .Sa-
lem unit of the National War Mother 4
Association was effected Saturday
with the election of Mrs. John Carson as
chairman, Mrs. F. F. Stewart, assist
ant chairman, Mrs. Charles s. Weller,
secretary and Mrs. j. E. Matthews,
treasurer.
This organization will at once devote
its efforts to the furnishing of the
upper rooms of the Science hall of Will
lamette University as an amusement
place for the boys in the barracks
Right now the great need is furnishings
such as carpet, loan of a piano and
Victrola, chairs and such as would be
found in any Y. M. G. A. hut.
One of the plans of making life
pleasant for the boys is to give them
entertainments. For those who dance,
there will be one evening week at
one Of the halls down town. For those
who do not dance, other entertainment
will be provided. The ladies in charge
of the entertaining state that no dam
ces will be given at the barracks or on
any University property.
Those who are willing to help are
asked to telephone Mrs. Carson at 95.

Prune Packers Are Feeling
A Bit More Cheerful Today

Everything is quiet in the prune
shipping industry in Salem. There
seems to be orders of all kinds sent to
the quartermaster department in
Portland but no positive shipping in.
structions have as yet ben received, al
though they are expected within few
days. Orders may be given to ship a
certain quantity to the allies, but these
cannot be forwarded until positive
shipping instructions are received and
this'is what is holding up matters here
in Salem.
w. B. Aver, state food administrator
hoped to get permission of the govern
ment to store prunes for the allies in.
Portland, as the warehouse had been
provided, but so far, although there
has been promises from the govern
ment officials that prunes could be
stored in Portland, no order has as
yet been received.
Hence there is nothing doing today
in the way of shipping the order to
England, although it is thought with
in day or so positive shipping in
structions will be received. Anyhow,
the packers feel trifle more cheer
full.

SALEM RAISES QUOTA
FOR LIBERTY loan
Honor Of Capital City Saved
By Eleventh Hour Rush
Of Bond Buyers.

BY means Of an eleventh hour rush
and the banks remaining open Satur
day evening, Salem finally succeeded
in raising its quota for the fourth lib
erty loan and with Salem going over
Marion county is now recorded as one
Of the counties of the state that sue.
ceeded in raising its quota.
The exact quota for Salem was 1867
32s and Saturday evening with all fig
ures in, the total subscribed figured ur
something over 1867 400.
+ That the city should subscribe such
an amount Is something to be proud
Of. Is the opinion of those familiar
with financial conditions in the city
The quota is especially large as each
city IS rated on its bank deposits and
with Salem, this brings the quota up to
an excessive figure as the banks have
on deposit considerable state money Of
well as heavy deposits from Polk
county.
The executive committee in charge
Of the loan has issued statement
thanking the people Of Salem for their
loyalty in subscribing and also com.
mending the workers who gave so
Imfsh Of their time in soliciting SUD-
scriptions
Tho statement also says that the
banks in addition to purchasing their
share Of the bonds, have bought suf-
ficient quantity to- supply those who
could not buy during the campaign.
One of the great difficultics solicit
ors experienced with this fourth loan
was the fact that prune conditions are
extremely unsettled and that on ac-
count Of the government holding up
shipment, growers everywhere have
not been able to realize on their crops
and did not have the money TO sub
scribe. Another difficulty in securing
large pledges was the depressing hop
situation.

Oil Drilling at
Peak i'm November
Record Activity i'll Exploration
Work Reported; 2,O38 New
Wells Completed

Development work undertaken for
opening new oil wells in the prnci-
pal fields of the country broke all rec
ords in November The field report
of "The Oil City Derrick" shows that
total of 1,488 rigs had been set up,
but were not in operation, while 1856
wells were in actual process of drill
ing. The largest increase in new work
was in the North Texas field, which
reported 276 moro rigs and wells drill
ing than in October.
New wells actually completed in No
vember numbered 2,038, ninety-one
less than in October, while initial pro
duction from these wells was $4,000,
decrease of 1919 barrels compared
with the preceding month.
The North Texas field, where there
is the greatest amount of new develop
ment work, is attracting attention of
oil men from all sections. "There
seems to be good reason" says "The
Derrick" "for supposing that it will
be among the large fields when pipe
line transportation has been furnished.
1t Is the one division that showed an
increase in completions, production
and new work. The gain in new wells
was fifteen, and in new production A.
525 barrels. The Bu1kburnett pool re-
ports number of good ones, as does
the Ranger field. The work in the
latter is hampered by lack of storage
and the output of the new ventures
can only be guessed att
Several important compilations we're
made in the Wyoming district, where
a producer that opens new field was

behalf. Moreover. it was said that the
new bureau, which has a capital of
$5,000,000, which is owned by the gov
ernments is sending its agents to in
terror Siberian points for the purpose
of informing itself of local conditions
and requirements. and in turn it will
impart information to the American
importer and exporter.
According to the first list made pub
lie by the new bureau, the following
CoiIlllOultleS are needed III Siberia:
Clothing, such as shoes, stockings.
underwear, suits. shawls, textiles, such
as assorted calico, fiannels (preferablv
gray and white), cotton cloth, and
woollens, hardware, such as nails. locks,
hinges and bolts; tools, kitchen uten-
sils, cutlery, pins and needles, buttons,
thread, blacksmith's supplies; agricul-
tural machines and implements, such
as harrows, ploughs. seeders, hay rakes,
reapers, binders, scythes, and sickles;
medical supplies. surgical supplies, Of
nee supplies, such as typewriters, pens.
carbon paper. and stationery.
1t is understood that licenses will
be granted on application for the ex.
port of any of the foregoing articles
to Russia.
The following list of Russian com
modities suitable for shipment to The
United States was compiled: platinum
tin and tin concentrates, camel,s hair
sugar beet seed, hairy vetch seed
bristles, horse hair, antimony meta etai
