Bess Keefer and Lucy used to be
very good friends-(before wash

Last Wednesday on Fouf-and-a-
half street. the two met.
The next thing on the program,
both were locked up for disorderly
conduct.
Bess. so Lucy said. accused her OF
having "cooties' on her. or you

in q war dictionary. as It is against
the rules of polite society to men

And OF course Lucy resented II.
and said something equally bad
about Bess.
In two minutes they were Tight

Three sturdy cops separated them.

Crosby and another man were stand
ing in front of LUIS house having a
battle of cuss words.
Lulu asked them to take the bad
language out on the lot and leave 1t
there.
The other man had sense enough to
move on. Crosby got sore and made
an improper remark about Lou.
He went inside and threatened to
smack her. She picked up Mr.. Web
ster's book and hit him in the head
with it.
But not until Crosby had her by the
throat did she reach for the English
language and jar his brains with it.
And just because he was impolite,

Much Ado About Nothing.
One evening last week Jerry Phil
lips was cleaning his revolver.
He was in his room on Fourth
street all by himself.
Some one rang the door bell and
asked to see him.
The man from whom Jerry rented
the room went upstairs to call him.
And when he opened the door he
saw the pistol pointed in his direc-
ton and not knowing what Jerry was
doing he hollered and ran downstairs.
Jerry looked up to see what was
the matter, with the gun still in his
hands, and this time a woman
screamed at him and she. too, ran
out.
A cop came In a few minutes later
and demanded to know who was being
killed or who was going to be killed
Jerry sassed the cop. feeling all the
while that the visit of the policeman
was entirely uncalled for.
He was nabbed-because the cop
couldn't exact an explanation from
him.
1t all turned out that Jerry meant
no harm and that he was entirely
within his rights to clean his gun
in his own room.
If the man and the woman had
used their gray matter a little Jerry
would not have had to come to court
for nothing. The case was dismissed.

Premier Orlando before the Italian
chamber of deputies yesterday, accord
ing to Rome cables here today.
The dispatch did not indicate Italy s
reply but it was officially assumed
here that it was promptly rejected.
No indication is contained in the
cable as to the means employed in ad
vancing the offer, Orlando s statement
as cabled, saying merely "the Ger
mans even have offered an honorable
peace"
The peace move was launched ere,
GENTLY" probably as step in antici'
patton of the Austrian drive. These are
the same tactics employed by the Ger.
mans before their last assault on Italy
designed to break the morale of the
italian troops.
That the Teutons would pursue such
a course was forecast some time ago by
the Italians.
At that time it was stated that Ger

IRRIGATION FOR 1918

For the purpose of trying to make
the irrigation service more satisfac-
tory the city will be divided into two
districts so that each district will get
the full service OF the plant upon the
day it irrigates.
The plan is to have the houses which
bear even numbers ON the streets irri-
gate only on Monday, Wednesday, FRI
day and Sunday, and the houses which
bear odd numbers on the streets irri-
gate only on Tuesday, Thursday, Sat-
urday and Sunday. This plan win per-
nit every house to irrigate four days
out of each week.
The purpose of the Water company
in furnishing water for irrigation is
not to furnish ali the water person
can run through the hose in the six
irrigation hours every day, but to furn
ish enough water to keep the lawn in
condition. To use more than enough is
a waste. We will pump the usual
amount Of water and hope to furnish
il more satisfactorily,-Salem Water,

BIG BARGAIN day IN
. SALEM IS PLEASING
TO ALL CONCERNED
Businessmen and Shopper
We're Alike Well Satisfied
with Results Attained

Thts consensus of opinion among busi.
ness men is that Bargain Day last Sat
urday was an unqualified success. That
not only did the special bargains offer
ed bring hundreds 0f people to Salem,
but that the bargains offered were such
as to justify the expectations of those
coming to Salem for that purpose only.
And not only are the merchants who
backed bargain day entirely satisfied
but there is feeling that it would be
of advantage to the merchants and com
munity if the special Bargain Days
were Offered at closer intervals and not
as an annual affair.
The special advantage of the leading
merchants combining on one day when
all. will offer specials is evident from
the number of OUT of town people com
ing to the city and the response of city
buyers
ANYHOW, now that Bargain Day is
past, the energetic merchants who had
the foresight to offer bargains are pleas
ed with the idea and have expressed
! themselves as in favor of the bargain
| day idea at proper intervals.
We did 25 per cent more business on
bargain day this year than last.

as the clovers of Ontario and other
eastern provinces. The opportunity
was made by Great Britain's short
age Of dairy products, Denmark,
Sweden and Holland having been
supplying Germany, and Russia be-
ing shut off from the world markets.
]. A. Ruddick, a Canadian authority,
said: "If we made 100000 pounds
of butter it would be more to ex-
port" The demand has caused
cheese exports from Canada to in
crease greatly. From May 10 Oc-
tober, 1914, 101 100000 pounds went
out of the country; in the same
period of 1916, 139,000,000 pounds,
an increase of 88,000,0O0 pounds. /
The demand for cheese for the SOL
diers has caused the per capita con-
sumption to mount from 21s pounds
for Canada to 135 pounds for
Britain. Cheese suddenly has grown
important as food . This is in part
because it is one of the cheapest
foods on the market. A vast amount
is now being manufactured in the
United States. In Canada it is put
ting millions of extra dollars into the
jeans of the farmers.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS
RTadknf Amrridas SanisDr fer ThriTf

Of only SO cents. The District of
Columbia ranked second with $40
and Missouri third with a per capita
of S3.Sl. /
Generally speaking, the New Eng
land states have made rather poor
showings, strange as it may seem.
As a group, the West is outstrip-
ping all other parts of the country.
OF the first ten states on the list
eight are Of the West. as follows:
Nebraska, Missonri, Kansas, Oregon,
Montana, Washington, Z Iowa and
Colorado. s0utside the District of
Columbia, the first Eastern state on
the list is Delaware, which ranks
fifteenth. New York is thirtieth,
Eastern Pennsylvania twenty-first,
and Western Pennsylvania thirty
fifth. Among the surprises is Mich-
igan, which ranks forty-seventh in a
list of fifty-one states or parts
thereof.
The thrift stamp represents a
unique type of thrift. The sales are
to a great extent made to children
and persons of moderate means. Be
cause of its special appeal to the in
experienced saver it has a great edu-
cationaI value. There should be the
sharpest rivalry between the various
states in this matter, not only because
of the help such conditions will yield
to the government but because of the
uplifting influence these small saw
ings will have on the citizens.
