REGISTRATION DAY
MAY BE HOLIDAY
Governor May So Designate
September Il In State of
Oregon.

A legal holiday on September II, the
date for the registration of men be-
tween the ages of IS and 46 under
the amendment to the selective draft
law, MAY be declared by Governor
Withycombe. He said today he was
considering the a~dvisabihty Of declar-
ing such a holiday.
"This will be one of the great days
in American history" he said, "when
l3,000,0 900 men will register for special
service to their country, and it seems
to me twill be appropriate to de-
clare a general holiday throughout the
state -
His announcement followed a long
conference the governor held this morn
ing with Adjutant General Beebe over
the details of the approaching regis
tration.
The governor also received a tele-
gram from Provost Marshal Crowder
urging that steps be taken to give the
widest publicity to the registration
day to the end that there will be 100
per cent registration of the men coming
within the age limits. The message
outlined the plans which are being made
for extensive publicity through news
papers, churches, commercial %organiza-
tons, Y. NJ. c. A. and other organi-
cations.

Fifty Per Cent Of Road
Work Must Be Stopped

When the order of the United States
Highways council becomes effective
September 10, over 80 per cent of the
road work now under way under the
direction of the state highway depart
ment will be stopped, according to State
Highway Engineer Num-, unless an ex-
tension of time can be obtained from
the council.
The order provides that no highway
work can be done in which fuel oil,
or cement, or asphaltic products, or
rail or water transportation are used
can be done without the approval OF
the United States Highways council.
Under that order, unless an extension
of time can be obtained, the paving
now being done on the lower Columbia
river highway, and in Tillamook eoun-
ty, and also on the remaining portion
of the Rex Tigard road, will have to
be stopped. At the time of the recent
rains the lower Columbia river high
way, neal Astoria, developed such big
mud holes that automobile after auto
mobile was stalled. If the paving is
not completed it is predicted that the
road will be impossible all winter.
The state highway department is
making application for an extension of
time on these jobs.

TRAINING CAMP GIVES
STRENUOUS EXERCISE
Real War Is %Exemplified And
Students Are Now To
Fight To Finish.

Several of the Salem men who took
the students training course at Eugene
are willing to testify that the curse
was not enirely high brow work. There
was a couple of hours each day of
lectures and such but the course pri-
marily was to train soldiers and dis
cover if the men had the real fight
ing ability in them before being rec
commended for an officers training
camp.
According to Fred Mangis, one of the
Salem men who took the course, the
high brow work was about like this:
Arise at 6 O'Clock and for the next II
hours, march and driE and dig and
fight and make camp and then march
again and then "a little drilling thrown
in for good measure. Then just as a
little preliminary exercise to make a
good soldier, hike 20 miles a day,
make camp, do a little guard duty
and then an early return the next day
with a little side hiking thrown in
on the side. After about two weeks
of this a nan hasn't an extra pound
of fat on him.
Then to make a man a real soldier,
a "no man S land" is established with
trenches on each side. The man on
the other side is your bitter enemy
and when the fighting is on and the
dynamite is blowing Lane county soil
over everything in sight, it is the
duty of the embryo soldier to demon
strate his fighting ability by taking
a prisoner or two.
According to the rules of the game,
after the soldier gets his enemy down,
he must hold him there until a referee,
appointed by the wal department, de-
cides the mar is down. However, if
the other fellow should get on top be-
fore the referee arrives, then the de-
cision is for the top man. The under
man is then marched off as a prisoner
and placed in a dugout until exchanged
as a prisoner of wal or until the days
fight is over.
Sometimes the fighting is the great.
er part of the day and into the night
and just as strenuous as in real a
There is real fighting and marching
during the entire time of training and
the men at all times under the strict
of military discipline.

Shipbuildmg Broke All
Records Last Month

Washington, Sept. 4EShipbuildilag
efforts of the United States during
August, broke all records, Chairman
Hurley, of the United States Shipping
Board announced late today.
The production totalled sixty six
ships with an aggregate of 100000
tons.
This figure is 6 $4,000 tons higher than
the previous record month. June pro-
duction was 100000. 1t is $4,000 tons
more than was produced in July.
vi the 100000 delivered, 260, 00G
tons were in forty four steel ships and
$4,000 were of wood.
Chairman Hurley declared that Amer
ica's shipbuilding was proceeding at
the fastest pace since he became chair
man of the board. Especially is this
true in the wood shipbuilding yards,
he said. There is an abundance of
lumber at the yards building wooden
ships and the steel situation at all
yards is satisfactory, he added.

ABOUT THE NEW PENSIONS

Many old soldiers of Dickinson
county are anxious to know when the
new pension increase is to be re-
ceiyed. Information to the Re
hector says that it will be impos-
sible to include the increases in
pensions due July 4 but those Of
August will probably be made at
the new rates.
The law is Republican amend
ment of the age and service act of
May II, 1919, hence it will be nee
essary for soldier, even though he
may be drawing a pension under
some other act, to make application
under the act of 1912 before he will
be entitled to the benefits of the
new rates. At the present time there
are approximately 268,000 pension
ers under the Act Of 1912. and OBJ
yiously il will take considerable
time to adjust all those cases to the
rates provided in the law of June
10th, last No special application
for the increased pension is neces-
sary Adjustments will be made au-
tomatically as rapidly as possible
Pensioners are urged by the bureau
to exercise patience and considera-
ton. No attorney fees will be al
lowed and no action by a congress
man or senator will help. If pen
sion is now drawn under the 1912
law the increase will come as soon
rs the bookkeeping can be adjusted.

PAYING THE PRICE

The nail of the agricultural labor
difficulty, and perhaps of the labor
difficulty in other lines of industry
as. well, is hit forcibly on the head
in the following, from the Franklin
County Farmers Bulletin:
Trying to solve the farm labor
problem is worse than opening a
chestnut burr. We have a long list
of men on file who want positions on
the farm and a lot OF farmers who
say they cannot get farm labor 1t
looks like a simple problem to get
these two classes together, but the
man who thinks so wants to try It.
The diagnosis is simple. The labor
er wants a pleasant place to spend
a summer vacation, to get hotel
board, United States Government
hours and munition wages. Such
farm jobs don't exist The farmer
wants an old-fashioned farm hand
