General Steiner
Reports LaggardS
Among Workers

General Steiner reports there are a
few laggards among the workers Sc
leeted to put over the fourth loan. Eff
forts are being made to finally cover
the territory again and secure some
estimate as to how the city stands in
regard to its quota Of 81 OBS, 500. There
was but half of this amount subserlb-
ed when reports were handed in last
Saturday.
General Steiner also wishes the pub
lie to understand there are no large
subscriptions being held up to be turn
ed in at the last moment The public
win be given the total subscriptions
Just as fast as the auditing committee
can compile them. While returns have
been coming in fairly well today, the
fact is that Salem is as yet long way
off from its quota.

eral captains put in their time hunting

headquarters Tuesday but as some Of

According to the new method OF
handling cards, all workers are to re-
port directly to captains and the work

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President Of de Amsriean Society Jor Thrift

cabinet maker; milk wagon driver
who lost his legs is now draft5man.
Thousands of other instances that
touch the heart as do these could be
cited.
Ordinarily we look on thrift as 4
matter-of-fact proposition in which
we are the gamers financially, mental
", morally and physically But in
this gentle task of restoring mangled
men to conditions of usefulness we
find thrift as tender and mercisrl as
a mothers caress.
Apart from all humanitarian
aspects the restoration of human ma
terial has IN important economic sig
nficance.
AS the Hon. Horace NJ. Tnwner, in
reporting en- the bill recently before
Congress, said in his report:
No greater service can be render
ed the Nation than 10 make every
citizen self-supporIing unit of socie-
ty. The waste involved in the COM

of the direct outlay, and second, be-
cause the dependent is contributing
| nothing to the productive capacity Of
the country"
But of far create Importance than
all is the feature which Congressman
Towner pointed out in this sentence:
"The soldiers themselves are happy
because thev are working, rs are their
comrades at the front. helping to win
the war"
According to Canadian statistics
one per cent. Of the soldiers are re-
turned for vocational training. This
means that America will doubtless re-
store 10000 of her MANNED boys.
Although the men are taught lines
of work at which they can earn good
wages, often more than they ever
made before, IT If not the plan Of the
Government to LET his fact Interfere

OF DEFENSE
OFFICERS TO SPEAK
At COMNERICA CLUB
Businessmen Expect To Hear
Reason For Recent Store
Closing Order.

Tonight at the Commercial club
there will be meeting to be address
ed by W. F. Woodard, chairman Of the
state council of defense, and John K.
Kulock, secretary of the state council
council of defense. While the call has
been made to discuss matters in re-
gard to the general defense, it is well
known that there is one subject at
present in which the business men of
the city are especially interested. This
is the order of the state council or de-
tense relative to the closing of all
stores on Sundays and a o'elock
closing on week days.
The order isued by Mr.. Woodard
and Mr. Kulloek in regard to these
closing hours has met with most em-
phatic protest in Salem. There is a
feeling that the two officers are not
familiar with local conditions and that
no special war advantage would be
gained by attempting to put in force
such hours.
There is also the opinion that such
hours may be all right for Portland
but Salem can manage its own affairs
in respect to Sunday and 6 O'Clock
closing.
Anyhow while it is ostensibly an
nounced that general affairs will be dis
cussed this evening, it is well known
that the two state Officers will bt
called upon to explain lot of things
and win also be eandidly told that Sa
lem does not want any change in 1T
business hours as long as there is ne
vital war problem involved.

6Capital Journal Special Service.)
Monmouth, Ore, Oct. 2.-The annual
faculty reception to the new students
