High Temperatures Favor Crops.

Washington. - High temperatures and abundant sunshine were declared by the weather bureau in it's weekly weather and crop review to have been generally favorable for crop growth, cultivation and harvesting throughout the country.
 Exceptions to the generally favora- ble conditions were noted by the bu- reau in the extreme Northwest, where it was too wet, in the district from the lake region eastward where the nights were rather cool and in many regions from the Ohio and Mississippi valleys westward, where there was no need of additional rain.
 Spring wheat generally made good progress with beneficial rains in North Dakota. Rain, however. was needed in Minnesota and some parts of South Dakota.
 The crop deteriorated or made only poor progress in Iowa for the same reason, and in most Rocky mountain and far northwestern districts, where not irrigated, the same damage was reported.
 Rain was needed, according to re- ports, in many parts of the corn belt, including western and northern DOT tions of Iowa, central Illinois, north central and western Nebraska, and the greater part of Indiana. Rain helped the crop in eastern Kansas, eastern Nebraska and Missouri.

one of those fortunate men whose life voca-
ton seems to choose them in advance
without hesitation or debate Even before
the beginning of his college career he
served an apprenticeship as reporter on
Jacksonville newspaper. From the very
first he paid his own way through Yale
by letters on athletics and other news
paper work; and by his junior year he was
also putting sister through college. The
early chapters devoted to those college
years are of special interest because they
cover In part the period before athletics
had come to play such a significant p
in undergraduate life; the years when the
famous Bob Cook stroke had made the
Yale crew an almost sure winner over
Harvard; the years that witnessed the
genesis of what is known as the yale
spirit in athletics. Mr.. Paine thanks to
his splendid physical height and weight
enjoyed the rare distinction of rowing as
a freshman on the university crew; and
seldom, If ever, has any college man pre-

TIE ERE is a book that must stir the

wholly outlived the nomad instincts
and adventurous longings of boyhood. when
the Soldier of Fortune was the true demi-
god, and mutinies and scuttled ships and
buried treasure We're the only themes for

the melancholy fact -thatthe modern world
had outgrown the picturesque lawlessness
of earlier centuries, and that piracy, block
ade running and the fostering of revolu-

the story of a man who in the presac
fourth quarter of the nineteenth century
lived life of adventure as gorgeous in its
bizarre variety, it's imminent peril its
wealth of exotic color as ever fell to the
lot of those old time rovers of the Spanish

1t would be unfair, however, to over

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF SALEM OPEN
DOORS MONDAY

Next Monday morning the boys
and girls Of Salem will begin the
school year OF 1929, some with
a light heart and glad to get back
and some with the memory OF the
hiking, fishing, camping, or other
forms OF pleasurable vacation at
fractions continually ceming to
their minds.
According to officials of the
public schools there is expected
to be the largest enrolment next
Monday morning than there has
ever been before, both in the grade
schools and high school. In some
of the schools it has been neces-
sary to equip rooms for classes
that had been used for some other
purpose. 1t is thought without a
great deal of trouble that all can
be housed. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the need for additional
school buildings which was fell
SO strongly last year will be great
or this year with the increased en-
rollment.
One feature of the opening OF
school which is always boresome IS
the purchasing of books. y Is un-
derstood that the book stores have
received complete list OF the
books needed for the children in
the grades from the superintend-
ent of the Salem schools, George
Hug. and that any children know
ing the grade which they will be
in next year can secure the texts.
In buying the books early they
would be saving themselves a
great deal of trouble and time as
well as relieving the congestion In
the stores which is bad enough at
best.

NEITHER FRAUD
NOR FORGERY IN
EXPOSITION BILL


There Is no question of fraud or
forgery in the complaint filed in
the injunction proceeding against
the exposition measure, G. r.
Peck, Portland attorney, pointed
out in his arguments before the
supreme court this morning in de-
Tense OF the initiative measures
whose validity is under attack.
The case Is before the supreme
court on its merits after being dis
missed in the circuit court when
the plaintiffs refused to make
their complaint more definite and
certain, according TO a ruling of
Judge Kelly in sustaining de-
murrer filed by the attorney gem
erals office.
The complaint alleges that the
county clerks who certified TO the
validity OF the signatures on the
petition failed to properly check
the signatures against their regis
tration lists and that as conse-
quence many OF those whose names
are on the petition are not legal
voters.
According to Peck the petition
ers in this case have done every
thing within their power to COM
ply with the law. Unlike other
initiative petitions whose validity
has been attacked and which have
been found to be illegal as = re-
suit of fraud on the part OF GER
tain notaries public, all OF the
names on the exposition measure
petitions were certified to BY
county clerks. So far as the petit
TONERS know, Peck, declared, the
signatures are all regular and the
county clerks have certified 70
their status as legal voters and
the petitioners have right TO as
sumo that these Qualifications are
correct.
Frank s. Grant, Portland city
attorney, and Joe Benjamin, as
sistant to the attorney general, are
appearing with Peck In defense Of
the petitions, with S. S. Johnson
and Robert Maeveaugh represents
ing the plaintiffs.
