GIRLS TO GIVE DANCE
FOR Drill UNIFORMS

Funds for the purchase of uniforms
for the team will be raised at a
dance, to be given in the Moose Hall.
Court and High streets, Friday even
ing by the Girls Drill Team of the
Artisans lodge. The girls have been
drilling for the occasion and will add
special attractions to the evening.
The Drill Team will visit Eugene
late in March to attend conferences
there of Artisan lodge representatives
and they hope to have their uniforms
by that time. If insufficient funds are
raised at the dance Friday night an
other dance probably will be held in
February.
The girls plan to compete in state
function at Woodburn in May, and
with the uniforms, they claim, believe
they can make such an effective ap-
pearance as to win the honors for
Salem.

A BISHOP IN THE SENATE

Bishop McMurry sees no hope in
the Senate, because he went into the
gallery and found the floor occupied
by Senator who was making a
speech to large audience of six of
his fellow members, four of whom
were asleep. The good bishop ought
to know that listening to speeches is
not the serious work of the Senate.
Probably most of the other members
were attending committee meetings,
where real work was being done. OF
the six in their seats the four who
were sleeping were the most hopeful.
They were at least refreshing them
selves for work when the time came.
The only really foolish man of the lot
was the one who was making the
speech. He might have had it printed
in the record and saved himself all
that work, unless he was practicing it
for home delivery later. AS for the
two who were awake and enduring the
affliction Of the speaker, there is
nothing to be said for them unless
they were watchers of the two par
ties. on duty to see that the other side
did not put something over. The-real
man to be pitied was the substitute
for the vice president who was sit
ting in the chair. They have as vet
found no way to keep a session going
without a victim in the chair.--St.
Louis Globe-Democrat

February and March are the months
when the automobile department of
the Secretary of State runs day and
night, including holidays and Sun
days, to keep apace with the demand
for new plates and licenses. During
the months of January, February and
March, 1920, Secretary of State Sui
livan issued 221, 1862 owners plates,
thereby breaking all previous high
records in this respect. In January,
February and March, 1919, when 16O,-
557 plates were issued to 145,015 for
the same three months of 1918, it was
thought the high-water mark had been
attained.
Up to April 1, 1920, the State Auto
mobile Licensing Department, James
O'Connor in charge, also issued to-
tai of 2,141 dealers plates, $3.50 deal
ers' duplicate plates, 2O,207 Rotor
cycle plates, 1914 chauffeurs' badg-
es, and recorded 2,205 transfers of
plates through changes in the owner
ship of automobiles, trucks and SINH
lar vehicles, breaking all previous
records along these lines by from 20
to IS per cent.
The st. Louis branch of Secretary
of State Sullivan's Automobile LII
censing Department, Peter Schilling
in charge, in January and March of
1920 issued plates for and registered
43,775 car owners; 1854 chauffeurs
and 518 motorcycles. i
The Kansas City branch, the same
two months of 1920, issued plates for
and registered 29,150 car owners 293
motorcycles and 1929 chauffeurs'
badges, and the st. Joseph office, T.
7O8 car owners plates, 342 chauffeurs'
badges and 81 motorcycle plates.

PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS
IN MISSOURI
lBY A. T. Edmonston.l

jefferson City, Mo-, April g.
That prosperity has full possession OF
Missouri and will be much in evidence
through the entire year, regardless of
the high cost of living, is wildly IL
Illustrated by some facts and figures
just given out by Secretary of State
John l.. Sullivan, dealing with the re-
markable increase in issuance of au-
tomobile State plates and licenses
during January, February and March
of 1920, rs compared with the same
months of both 1919 and 1918.
The cash collections of the Auto
mobile Department January, Febru-
airy and March, 1920, totaled $685.
GAG, as compared to 81, 154,390 for
the same first quarter of 1919 when
all previous records in this respect
were broken, and 81 ,074, 1863, the first
quarter of 1918. The 1920 collection
up to April /, exceeded those of 1919,
the same period, by $451 ,256, gain
of nearly 39.1 per cent, and over
those of 1918 by $530,67S, a gain Of
nearly so per cent.
These collections for three years, to-
falling $3,855,004, go into the good
roads fund of Missouri and after be-
ing proportional and allotted to the
ia counties of Missouri and the city
lof St. Louis, go to build and recon-
struct highways, streets and other
similar thoroughfares. Each county
and st. Louis, to share IN these allot-
ments, must spend similar amount
annually on highways and other pub
lie avenues of intercourse. In that APP
propriate manner automobile and
truck owners and licensed chauffeurs
are given back the sums they put out
yearly for platesa nd licenses, it rep
fcsepting bread cast upon water,
which really returns in the beneficial
and substantial form of better high
ways, streets and boulevards.
Vote for the Big Bond Issue.
At the November, 1920, election the
voters of Missouri will be called upon
to approve a State bond issue of $780,
100000 to be used in building and re-
constructing the roads of the State
free of cost to all regular taxpayers
of the State. The annual receipts
from the State Automobile LICENSING
Department are to be used to pay the
interest and create a sinking fund
which will be large enough at the end
Of twenty-five years to redeem the
outstanding bonds It is figured that

lump sum to give Missouri several

more permanent good can be accomp-
lished than to only spend $4,000, 900
each year. Ih addition to the $780,

after the bondtselling amendment has
been adopted, the Federal funds APP

CONGRESSIONAL JOY RIDE

Some hundred or more members Of
Congress are preparing for a pro-
longed joy ride. Starting sometime
in July, travelling in a Government
transport, they plan to visit Hawaii,
the Philippines, China and Japan, for
the purpose of studying Oriental
problems" Just what "Oriental prob
lens" require frst-hand study on the
part of the stalwart statesmen Of
Congress is not quite clear, neverthe-
less a few weeks spent riding the
ocean waves with few pleasant eve
nings on the moonlit beaches of Ha-
waii and the Orient will be far more
pleasant than if they were spent in
Washington wrestling with the vexing
problems of reconstruction which Con-
gress was elected to solve. Besides,
many of these problems are like the
two-edged sword, they cut two ways,
and for political reasons may better
be left unsolved until International cleo
lion is over.
Each Congressman will be required
to pay SLIPS per sday toward the ex-
penses Of the joy ride--the Federal
treasury footing the remainder Of the
bill, which. Of course, Is quite in line
with the Republican party's wideiy
proclaimed policy " economy.

REPUBLICAN POLITICS
AND POLITICIANS
(By A. 7. Edmonston.)

jefferson City, Mo-, April 90 Sc
dalia will be well represented on both
the Republican and Democratic Off
cial tickets to be submitted to the vot-
ers of Missouri on primary day, Aug
ust 3. Four candidates, John L. Sui
livan, Senator Mark A. McGruder, C.
M. Harrison and Attorney Harvey d.
Dow, two aspiring for party honors
on each ticket, hail from there. An
other coincidence is that two of OPP
posite faith and belief want to be
nominated for Attorney General by
their respective parties and run
against each other at the November
election, and the other two seek their
party nominations for Secretary of
State to measure swords against one
another when the big event of next
fall comes off. Dow is as dry as the
Sahara desert.
With the four Sedalians in the race
for the primary contest it is more po-
litical publicity than this city has had
since the advent Of the present state
wide primary system, although in the
past citizens of that burg with the
ambition Of being elected to a State
office, have vived with one another
for a nomination on the Republican
ticket. State Senator McGruder start
cd the political bee buzzing in Sedalia
three months ago by filing for the
Democratic nomination for Attorney
General, intending to land the honor
through the record he had made as
Democratic floor leader in the last
Senate. Thursday, Attorney Dow,
who is president Of the Republican
Clubs Of Missouri, formally announced
his candidacy for the Republican NOM
nation, the same berth. Both are
from Sedalia and Dow is member of
the Republican State Committee from
the Seventh Congressional District.
II the pair land the respective glories
they are seeking, hot contest will fol-
low for the glory at the general cleo
ton Of carrying Sedalia, their home
city, and Pettis county which is ex.
ceedingly close when the honors ar.
even. AS to the result over the State,
if both should be nominated for Attor-
Iney-Gencral, Senator McGruder will
readily defeat Attorney Dow, regard
less of how popular the latter may be
in Pettis county of which he was once
Prosecuting Attorney.

THE LOST VOICE

Seated one day in the office,
Distracted and i'll at ease,
/ wildly jiggled the phone hook
And Central said Number, Please"
/ know not what number gave her,
IT'S vanished beyond recall;
| know / was fiabbcrgasted
That she answered the phone at all.
1t filed me with sheer amazement,
1t filled me with fierce delight,
For when she repeated the number
She actually got it right.
| glued the phone to my ear drum,
And my heart beat high and fast
As said to myself Eureka,
] shall get that call at last"
| waited and waited and waited,
Once more seized the hook,
Between the thumb and finger
And shook, and shook, and shook,
But ! listened and listened vainly,
The sun had waned and set
And the stars were out, but Central
Had made no answer yet.
II may be she'll answer some time,
But / wonder now and then
If only when I'm in heaven
Shall hear that voice again.

costly luxuries, especially with the
prevailing high cost of gasoline and
accessories, and the ever-increasing
price of the cars themselves, regard
less of how plentiful they are every

Der now in use, compared to similar
