Polk County Loses
Chance for Finishing

With work on the Rickreall-

this winter. The other portions
of the new road, it is explained,
will probably be closed during the
winter months, traffic being de-
toured over the old road.
Klein was not in a position to
state whether or not the highway
department would proceed with
the Improvement of the West Side
highway through Polk county next
spring in the event of favorable
court decision on the pending
suit, or not. 1t is known, however,
that strong pressure is being
brought to bear on the commission
by other sections Of the state for
diversion of the funds which have
been set aside for the improve
ment of the Polk county highway
and unless a better spirit Of CO.
operation is shown by Polk coun-
tv interests than has been the case
in the past 1t is altogether pos
stble that the commission may
change its plans with respect to

that congress now in session enact

we demand immediate action of

FiUe Couples Jnited
In First Days Session
OF Court OF LoUe

Hammonton, N. j., Aug. IL
(By Associated Press. )-There
has come into being here one OF
the strangest courts in all the
wor1d-the court of loye-where
men and women in search of mates
may come, pour out the longing
Of the heart and be succored.
Before the court are the qualifi
cations and the yearnings Of some
thousand bachelors and HOO
spinsters, but the first days work
resulted in only tive matings.
These, however, were shining
examples of what may come.
A man, SO years old, was maveo
with gold star mother AZ years
old; an undertaken was selected
as husband for a nurse; a coast
guard was picked to become the
protector and life companion of a
fair divorcee; widow was slated
to become the helpmate of paint
er, and Kentucky belle-a
daughter of the mountains-was
up by Thomas Bancroft
Delker, founder of the court.
The court of love is constituted
much the same as any court, haY-
ing a presiding judge, or cupid,
in this case a woman, and a jury
Of seven, including the chief OF
police, a former soldier, a telegra-
pher and four women. 1t is stated
that Delker and Lewis Conley,
Harmonious leading cigar store
organized the Lovers
Union, which in turn,
produced the love court.
The five women whose cases
we're disposed Of at the first sit
ling were notified that in case
hey were dissatisfied with the
findings of the court they had two
weeks within which to file appli-
cations for new hearings.

ships was blocading the Cuban
port. When the enemy came out
Of the port in an effort to escape
1t was Quartermaster Johnson

OPENING DAY OF

With reports of more deer in
the hills than for many seasons

With the opening of the season
Sunday morning. First day par
ties made up of Salem hunters

Even the "old timers" who, as
rule, postpone their expeditions
until later in the fall are making
preparations to be in the hills
with the first streak of sunlight
Sunday morning and are already
beginning to move out of the city.
They point to the rain soaked
condition of the forests, the early
maturity of the wild crops upon
which the deer feed and the prev
alent cool weather, which lightens
the problem of bringing the fresh
meat out in good condition, as
sufficient reason for their determ
lnation to go while the going is
good.
Whether prompted by a desire
to reap a full harvest of the game |
reported so plentiful, or by more
generous motives the fact remains
that an unusually large number
