TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PJORTLAXD, XOVEMBEK 3, 1918. IT OREGON SITE GUARD SIX THOUSID MEN Five Complete Home Defense Regiments Are Organized. PATRIOTIC SERVICE PLEDGE Colonels of Five Regiment! Meet in Portland to Discuss Ways of Securing State Recognition. Blx thousand men, from every walls of life, comprise the strength of the Oregon Volunteer Guard, now organ ized in five complete home defense reg iments throughout the state, pledged to patriotio call and service until the close of the war and the final chapter pt the reconstruction period. It was for the purpose of discussing Ways and means of securing state rec ognition, and of affording even wider service to Oregon, that colonels of the tlve home-defense regiments met in conference with Adjutant - General eebe on Thursday of last week, in conformity with Governor Withy combe's expressed desire to see the Ore Eon Volunteer Guard speedily placed in a position of maximum efficiency. De tails of the plan have not been made public but it is understood the confer ence progressed satisfactorily. Five Regiments Represented. Called by Captain R. C Dolbin. ad jutant of the First Regiment, Multno mah Guard, and general chairman for the state organization, the regimental j commanders who conferred with Adjutant-General Beebe are as follows: First Regiment, Multnomah Guard, headquarters at Portland. Colonel L. P. Campbell; Second Regiment, headquar ters at Albany, Colonel Willard L. Harks; Third Regiment, headquarters at Bandon, Colonel Walter S. Wells; Fourth Regiment, headquarters at The Xalles, Colonel H. R. Fancher; Fifth Jtegiment, headquarters at Baker. Colo nel H. J. Horton. The Oregon Volunteer Guard, as a home-defense organization without parallel in the United States, was formed at the home-guard conference held in Portland last May under the auspices of the State Council of De fense. Its growth is held by competent observers to be 'phenomenal, its roll calls are answered by many of the most prominent business and professional men of Oregon, and its record of service already is lengthy. Sixty Full Companies Mastered. The five regiments muster 60 full companies, with various detached units, auch as machine gun, transport and supply companies, totaling an enlist ment of approximately 6000 men. The Sixth Regiment, of Lane County, which is soon to be organized under the su pervision of Colonel John Leader, mili tary commandant at the University of Oregon, will enlist 37 additional com panies now, in existence and swell the muster roll to at least 8000 guards men. Minimum strength of the guard com panies is fixed at 65 men. with a maxi mum of 108. The muster rolls of all five regiments now show a majority of all 60 companies to be at maximum strength, with waiting lists watching tor the first vacancies that will permit other citizens to don the home-defense uniform and serve America and Oregon. Practically all of the companies are fully uniformed, largely at the expense of their respective counties, while many are fully supplied with arms and mili tary equipment. Headquarters Here in Portland. Headquarters of the Oregon Volun teer Guard are maintained in Portland at room 311 Corbett building, where de tails of the state organization are in the care of Captain R. C. Dolbin, gen eral chairman for the state. Captain Dolbin was unanimously elected to the chairmanship when a vacancy was cre ated by the transfer of Colonel Hib bard, former commander of the First Be a Belle of the Ball Let Stuart's Calcium Wafers Drive Away Pimples and Skin Erup- tions and Give you a Com- plexion .That Is a Marvel of Beauty.

PAINLESS PARKER, DENTIST Portland, Or., 326 Washington St. (Entrance near Sunset Theater) Regiment, to service In the United States Army. Captain Dolbin, who had served as acting adjutant for the volunteer guard regiments of Oregon, was chosen for his thorough familiarity with the work, which bears the same relation to the organization as that of the Adjutant-General of Oregon does to the Ore gon National Guard. One of the originators of the Mult nomah Guard, Captain Dolbin was act ive In the formation of the Elks' Bat talion, the first unit, which merged with the Oregon First Reserve to create the First Regiment, later resulting in the recruiting of the remaining regi ments of the Oregon Volunteer Guard, Arms to Be Purchased. At a recent conference with Governor Withycombe, assurance was given Cap tain Dolbin that orders would be Issued to Adjutant-General Beebe for the purchase of arms and equipment needed by the several companies of the various regiments which are now unsupplied. Prior service in the Multnomah Guard and other home-defense regiments in dicates, in the opinion of commanding officers, the ideal method of prepara tion for universal military training, as hundreds of men of the selective draft have been drilled as guardsmen while awaiting their call to the colors. It Is of utmost significance, declare the offi cers, that a majority of these guards men have been promoted to non-com missioned grafles, while others have at tained commissions shortly after their arrival at the Army training camps. Field Is Broad One. The purpose for which the Oregon Volunteer Guard has been created, its sponsors state, is to furnish unlimited assistance to the civil authorities in maintaining law and order, without eating a burden for the taxpayers. Yet the field is even broader, for the regiments have promptly responded to all calls of patriotism, evincing the de sire to serve the Nation in all matters during the stress of wartime. Thus, in the last liberty loan cam paign, in the Red Cross drive ana in a score of associated war activities, the Oregon Volunteer Guard has rendered notable assistance and has been warm ly complimented by Governor Withy combe and other state officials for the promptness and efficiency of response. The officers and men or the regiment nave rendered valuable aid in tracing German propaganda and bringing the instigators to justice, and in putting do-.vn disloyalty wherever it became manifest. Scores of instances of un selfish service, sacrifice of personal convenience and private affairs, with out a cent of expense to the state, are on record. Portland Regiment's Record Typical. Typical of these is the record of the Multnomah Guard, First Regiment. which has policed the waterfront and safeguarded Portland's war industries, has rallied to fight brush fires which threatened Portland and Multnomah County homes, joined in all patriotio work, and in scores of ways has man! tested its loyalty and high standard of efficiency. At Dufur a company of the Fourth Regiment, under the command of Cap tain Stockdale. has furnished details for the guarding of three bulky grain elevators every night since August 24, the men traveling an average of 45 miles to their posts of duty after days spent at their own affairs. The Second Regiment, at Albany, re cently traced a draft evader to his cabin in the hills. 30 miles distant. where he had hidden In fancied se curity, and haled him forth to answer to the proper authorities. The Clackamas Battalion of the First Regiment, commanded by Major J. Hidy, had details constantly at work in- the timber during- the recent forest fires. - "We are not asking to be paid for any of our services," declared Captain Dolbin. state chairman, following the conference. "Many of the individual communities already have equipped their companies. We are asking for state recognition, and for equipment of all units with arms. In return we are pledged to render our services freely during the period of the war, and for such subsequent period as may be nec essary to the welfare of Oregon and America." - WIDER CHANNEL IS ASKED Commissioner Points Out Sinking by Collision in Channel.

IX Shortage of Labor Results In Rc pealed Calls for Technical Help With Field Experience. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, Nov. 2. (Special.) That Oregon is rendering a valuable srvlce to the Government through the contribution of chromite, manganese, quicksilver and plalnum for war pur pose is the statement of Dean E. IC So per, of the School of Mines at the Col lege. "The production of these metals has undergone a great stimulus, with the result that the state has never before produced them in such qantitles as to day. There still remains excellent op portunities for discovery of new de posits of manganese, chromite, and quicksilver. Most of the platinum comes associated with gold-bearing gravels. and is produced as a by-product from placer gold mining. Nearly all of the Important base metal mines are producing to capacity. Recent legislation provides for govern ment regulation of the selling price of tnetala Legislation is also pending, pro viding for government aid to prospec tors in order to stimulate search for and discovery of new properties. A remedy for the existing gold situation Is also to be hoped for, and will probably appear in the near future. "There is a great shortage In labor throughout the mining districts of the United States- Technical help is also scarce, and many mines are advertising for engineers and assayors. During the last year, the school of mines at Oregon Agricultural College has had calls for mining engineers, geologists, and assay ers from mines throughout the West and In some cass companies have offered to take students who have had no more than two years at college. Sophomore mining students from some of the eastern sections are now being eagerly employed by many min ing companies to hold positions for which there was formerly keen compe tition among mining graduates."

The government requests that retail selling be placed on a cash basis. It is the plain, patriotic duty of everyone to comply with these requests. Thrift is the natural sequence of cash trading Paying cash benefits you and the community in which you live. Since 1896, the now nationally popular Green Stamps given as a discount for cash, have induced millions to trade in this profitable, sensible, business-like way. Today, these stamps are a symbol of Thrift in millions of homes, in thousands of cities and towns throughout the nation. In encouraging this beneficial method of buying, 1C Green Stamps place within easy reach of everyone a most practical system for co-operating with the law of the land Sensible Conservation and Practical Thrift. The popular Z&C Green Stamps and Thrift are synonymous. Twenty years ago these tokens blazed the trail followed today by millions.
