RABBIT sWIMs AND FIGHrs'
San Francisco Park PoIieeman's Re. port Leaves Old Theory Com.
 pietely High and Dry.
Recreation in Hospitals.

One by one the old theories are re- tradition, backed by generations of Ob- servation, that rabbit can neither swim nor fight. But along comes Ser. geant McGee of the San Francisco park police with bombshell and when the noise and smoke has cleared away the germ of a new theory Is left, even though hitherto unknown fact has not been established.
 According to McGee, quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle, plain, everyday cottontail has suddenly ap- peared on the island in Stow lake and driven everything else away. Never before has rabbit been seen on the island. which is separated from the mainland at its nearest point by fifty yards of water.
 Albert ChacQuette, guardian of the lake and Its waterfowl, was the first person to discover the presence of the rabbit on the island" said Sergeant McGee in his report. From the main land shore he saw 1t in furious combat with big setting brant. The battle ended in the bird being driven into the water and swimming, with loud, squawks of dismay and protest, to the mainland. Every breeding mudhen, goose and duck was similarly assalled and expelled, Chacquette says, leaving the rabbit in undisputed possession of tho island.
 'Chacquette," McGee's report con- t.nues, "has theory that the rabbits new-foVd pugnacity may be due to its browsing too freely on the leaves of the juniper bushes that grow thickly on the island. Ills idea is that the leaves fermented in the animals stom- ach, creating gin, which, as anyone knows who has tried it, might make rabbit feel brave enough to tickle tigers nose and give him courage to attempt the swimming of the Golden Gate"
 Anyway, the rabbits on the island and nobody has admitted helping him to get there. Also, the waterfowl that usually breed there at this time of year are gone. There may be no con. nection, but there's mystery in 1t all that nobody seems to be able to ex- plain.

There is bitter feeling throughout France owing to the exorbitant prices demanded by some of the inhabitants of the war zone for the exhumation of the bodies of soldiers who have fallen on the battlefelds of northern France and their transportation to the nearest railway station.

BEARDLESS BOYCE
 AS SANTA CLAUS |S
 SMELLING OUT CASH

Cheerily disbursing huge sums of sxtra money to l2 of Ari3ona's IS counties. State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce yesterday rushed the Christmas sea- son and assumed the role of Santa Clans. sans hoary beard, but with em- bonpoint true to type. During the af- ternoon he shelled out a total of S113,152.97 to be divided with every county excepting Yuma and s5s,775.SO of special school money to be divided among them all.
 The money represents one-fourth of the governments receipts for forest reserve grazing permits and other forms of forest reserve income, one fourth of the whole income reverting | tothe state and one fourth of the re- ccipts from school sections within the reserve reverting to the state schools.
 Yuma has no forest reserve and consequently is left out when the pie is cut, but as the school money goes direct to the state superintendent of schools for proportional distribution in all the counties, Yuma gets mo- dicum of satisfaction. The extra school money helps the taxpayers as a whole but does not add one cent to any school fund, as the appropriation

BOSTON GIRLS ASK FUR MEN NOT; WISH
 MERELY DRY FACTS

Wanted at once-Some kind and
 obiiging person, male sex pre-
 ferred, to tell two dainty Puritan
 maids in Boston just what a won
 derful country Arizona is.
 Quite evidently gripped by spas modic impulse to answer the calling lure of the west, two Massachusetts maid ems have added their names to the all ready long list of those deluded dam sells who fancy they would like to make their home in the ''wonderful' country of Arizona. To do them credit, the maidens are much too coy to mention corresponding with. mere men, but they openly avow their desire to have some one give them some information about Arizona, etc, etc.
 The letter from the Bostonian maids came to the postmaster at Phoenix, Arizona all such maidens write to the Phoenix postmaster as the first move in their westward transmigration. And also very naturally, their interest in Arizona was aroused by reading story in the Boston Sunday Globe about a tenderfoot in Arizona. So they de- cided they'd like to come out here and make their home.
 Lest the intention be misunderstood, it should be noted that in their letter all the Puritan maids request is that some one please write them and give some information about the country, and as to whether or not they could get work here. Beyond that, the variety | of information is not mentioned. And why two girls who merely want ,o come to Arizona and work should send their pictures along is more than any one can guess, especially as they do not mention what sort of work they prefer
 At any rate, two maidens will greatly appreciate it if some one will write and give them the information they are so anxious to get. The address? Oh, yes, | the letter should be sent to Miss Beatrice Wright or Miss Maude Burk- ett, 16 Taylor street, South Braintree Mass.

 FEAST UPON DESERT

Turkey dinner on the desert, pro vided the rain clouds leave soon, is the Thanksgiving program for the residents of the Young Woman's Christian asso- citation boarding home. In addition to the boarding home girls, there will be room for ten or twelve other girls and so any girl who has no other plans for the day is invited to join the Y. w. c. A. group.
 Reservation should be made at once by phoning the Y. W. c. A. office, 127 North Central avenue. A big truck and trailer will leave the boarding home Thanksgiving morning at 10 o'clock and the day will be spent near Echo canyon. A jolly crowd. gool eats, and a day out of doors make up a program which has 2 strong appeal for girls away from home.

for school work during the coming year merely provides that s75a,0O0 shall be available. According to Boyce, the governments return of s5S,- 775.S0 for school purposes helps the state just that much in producing the s750,000.
 No Strings on Funds
 The sum of s11S,15227 Boyce says, is divided proportionately among the 1S counties, excluding Yuma, and placed at the disposition of the various boards of county supervisors to use for school or road purposes. No string is placed upon then funds, Boyce re- ferring the supervisors to paragraph 4655 of the Arizona Civil Code, Re- vised Statutes of 1913.
 The division is based on the number of acres of reserve within every county, every acre in all the reserves drawing proportionate amounts. Maricopa county gets $4,970.67 for the total acreage lying within the Maricopa county lines of the Crook Prescott and Tonto reserves. Mohave county with only 31 1000 acres of forest reserve, gets only $61.94.
 Coconino county gets the grand prize, $41,4S3.51, for approximately 100000 acres. Apache county. gets | S4,65S.62; Cochise county draws $, ,033.65.
 The other counties follow: ,Gila s10,9S2.29; Graham $2.2S04S; Greenlet SS.133.69; Navajo s2.S16.93: Pima s4,- 015.00; Pinal s1,s61.23; Santa Cruz s4,eS96S and Yavapai 21,5s5-2S. The total forest reserve acreage ir the state is 11,795.541. The revenue therefrom is computed for the fisca' year ending June 90, 1919. It recently was made available for payment by the state auditor and the payment wa: delayed only long enough to enable tho auditors office to compute then va. rious amounts due the individua

EAPFIoUS CRITICS PRAISE
1.-THE UNPARD0NABLE SIN

"The objectionable SIM" which is
being presented at the Liberty theatcr
for three day engagement, is NOV
ing picture attraction which Salem peo-
pie who have followed the development
of the screen as a medium for the pres
entation of really big dramatic ideas
cannot afford to miss. There have been
many unqualified expressions Of opln-
ion to the effect that "The Unpardon-
able Sin is the greatest photoplay ev-
er produced, and there is no denial OF
the statement that it ranks with such
attractions as "The Birth Of Ma

ing successes in the realm of moving

CONTEST FOR MAYOR
CROWS MORE heated
Commercial CIub Refuses Tc
Make Recommendation
As Saepested.

The political pot in Salem, caused by
the resignation Of Mayor @. 3. Abin
continues to boil merrily.
The suggestion that the Commercial
club recommend two or three names
to the city council as suitable for
mayor, in case the council did not
choose from its own membership, did
not meet with the approval Of the
directors Of the club
While deeply interested in the wei
fare Of the city, the directors felt
that the club was not exactly a politi-
cal organization, and that it would be
a little out Of its line to tell or sag-
gest to the council just what it should
and should not do. Hence, there win
be no candidate recommended by the
Commercial club.
]. Greenbaum and W. |. Staly have
been suggested as representative men
to sit in the mayors chair, in case
the council did not deem it best to
select from its own membership and
thus create another vacancy.
Otto j. Wilson, alderman from the
third ward, is receiving the support
of a number of business and profes-
sional men. Their endorsement is
based on his years of experience in
the council and familiarity with the
eity's affairs. Should no other name
outside of the city council be sug-
gested at the meeting Monday even
ing, it is probable that the contest
will be narrowed down to w. A. West
and Otto j. Wilson.
Before leaving on his vacation, G.
M. Roberts, alderman from the fifth
ward, handed in his resignation to be
accepted at the Monday night meeting.
The council will elect his successor
and among those favorably mentioned
are: Chas. Warner of the Tile works;
Louis Fletcher Of Fletcher 6 Byrd
and Lee Unruh of the Commercial
Printing Co.
In the seventh ward, as successor
to Ralph Thompson, who resigned, the
following have received favorable men.
tion; Elmer Daue, N. d. Elliott, Amos
Vass, A. +. Marcus and Geo. Il. Hal,

The petition to be presented Monday
evening, asking the council to elect
Otto j. Wilson as mayor, is as follows:
In view of the resignation of Mayor
G. +. Albin, we, the undersigned citi-
zens and business men respectfully
petition your honorable body to elect
