rary report shows that the
endance at the library Is

y 2,000 people are being
I by the library.
,2700 books were circulated
i library last year, and the
ft far this year Indicates a
tble gain over the preceding
lonths period. One of the
ig features of the report
t almost 5,000 books were
s children. Twenty per cent
looks loaned by the library,
l-fiction. , !
. facts indicate the gain tM
1 making and with the prop
of a building there is no
but that the public library
would be one of the biggest of the
civic Institutions.
Taking these facts Into considera
tion the committee realized that It
was necessary to reach, some plan
to raise the desired amount of mon
ey for the library construction.
Mr. Frank Norton proposed the
community fair plan, having seen it
tried out in a town in which he was
living in the east. The town, half
the size of RoBeburg, raised over
$11,000 which supplied them with
a very fine building. The commun
ity fair plan was discussed at con
siderable length and It was finally
decided to adopt it for Roseburg.
It will be made one of the big
events of the year. It will partake
of the nature of a carnival, auto
show, bazaar and fair. Some large
building, probably the armory, will
be secured and an exhibit of fancy
work, home cooking, and other such
things will be provided: Local peo
ple will be asked to donate these
things to the fair and they will be
disposed of at the best price obtain
able. An auto show will probably
be held in connection and programs
will be put on every evening. En
tertainments will be provided and
small admission charges will be
made. It is possible that a public
dance will be held once or twice dur
ing the week. Many other features
will be Introduced and every pos
sible means of providing entertain
ment and raising money will .be
adonted. ' ' " '
All organizations and associations
of the city are asked to appoint rep
resentatives and have them present
at a meeting to be held on Thurs
day, June 1, at which time definite
committees will be appointed and
the ball started rolling. Mr. Nor
ton has been appointed as manager
of the fair and he asks the coopera
tion and assistance of every organi
zation which has the interest of the
community at heart.
The library association has a fine
lot, located on South Jackson street.
Just south of the Kohlhagen apart
ment lot and It is here that they
propose to erect their building. It
is hoped that the city will be able
to put up a nice structure and one
that will be a credit to the commun
ity. '

BONUSCOMMISSION
HELD TO BE WRONG
Circuit Judge Maintains That
- Board Must-Loan Up to
75 Per Cent Value..
APPRAISEMENT IS FINAL
Report of the Appraiser Must be Ac
cepted Unless Proof It Obtained
That an Attempt It Being Made"
to'- Defraud the . State.
SALEM. May 19. The overruling
of the demurrer to the petition for a
writ of mandamus In the suit brought
by Capital Post No. 9 of the Ameri
can Legion, to determine whether or
not the veterans state aid commission
has the right .to consider "moral
risks" and to lower the amount to be
loaned below 75 per cent of the ap
praised valuation of property owned
by ex-aervice .men, was the decision
of Judges Bingham and Kelley of the
circuit court, who heard the case
sometime ago, in handing down their
opinion today.
The decision of the Judges In this
matter means that the commission
cannot consider the moral risks in the
case of ex-service men who have ap
plied for a loan. Also that the com
mission must loan to 76 per cent of
the appraised valuation of the prop
erty.
In rendering this decision the
Judges held that all rules which the
commission had made regarding tbe
administration of the loan, were as
binding on the commission as upon
the applicant, and as much so in one
case as In another. In this connection
the rules of the commission are also
binding on the appraisers and tho ap
praisers' report binding on the com
mission, unless It can be positively
shown that there Is an attempt to de
fraud the commission on the part of
the applicant.
Tbe case will bo appealed by rep
resentatives of the attorney general's
offire as soon as the necessary papers
csn be made out and the decision of
the supreme court rendered as soon
as possible.
Rov T. Shields, TlrMiier Small and
Robin Pav represented the plaintiff In
the suit, Edwin Stevens Woodford, a
member of the local post, whose
property was appraised at 1290R ard
whose was entitled to losn of $2170.
but was offered a loan of 11000.
Three other bonus cases were
heard today before the Judges and
taken under advisement. These suits
were brought by the state department
of tiie American Ieglon and were the
cases of F. M. Moore, who seeks to
determine whether or not he can use
the loan for the purchase of business
storks. If be offers residence or farm
property for security, the esse of Ci
cero llogan, who seeks 1o determine
whether he can secure loan on prop
erty owned by his mother and use It
to pay off a mortgage on trie prop
erty; and that or William Fauiman.
who seek to determine whether he
was enlisted or inducted into the ser
vice under the bonus law due to his
being recalled into servire after he
had been granted a furlough of nine
months on bis enlistment which took
place In 1915.

PORTLAND. May 19. Today is
rrlmary day in Oregon. Both par
ties go to the polls to nominate rep
resentatives for governor, the na
tional house of representatives, the
state legislature, the Judiciary, both
for the supreme and circuit benches
and various county offices.
The keenest, fights are' expected
In he balloting for governor and
three national representatives. Stiff
opposition is expected to be shown
with the republican party to present
incumbents, particularly the three
congressman to be nominated.
In Oregon this yesr it is generally
conceded that the governor and na
tional representatives nominated by
the republicans will be elected, there
being little strong democratic oppo
sition in any of these four fields.
Ben W. Olcott, republican, the
present governor, is uL for renom
ination by his party with his record
as his platform. Olcott. secretary of
state In the cabinet of the late Gov
ernor Withycombe, and successor to
Withycombe aa governor, has the
advantage of scattered opposition at
the primaries. All bis opponents are
strong men, representing definitely
Important sections of the state, but
with Olcott appealing to the state at
large rather than to any one particu
lar section.
Charles Hall, of Marshfield. state
senator with a large following in
southern Oregon, is generally con
ceded to be Olcott's strongest oppo
nent, although I. L. Patterson, of
Eoia, in Polk county, and Louis E.
Bean, of Eugene, are both acclaimed
as leaders of strong Willamette .val
ley factions. Patterson was senator
from Benton and Polk counties and
Bean was representative from Lane
countv and speaker of the house in
the last legislature. Oeorge A.
White, state adjutant general, is in
the race snd is eipected to poll a
large soldier vote. On- the demo
cratic side are aligned Walter M.
Pierce, of I. a C.ranle. Will E. Purdy
of Salem, Harvey Starkweather, nn
f the leading dnmnrrats of Portland,
and Webb Holmc-S of Tillamook..

GENOA, May 1st. The Genoa eco
nomic conference adjourned at 1:15
o'clock this afternoon.
Lloyd Georoe In the valedictory said
that the conference had gathered
"fine crop, namely: ,
The meeting to be held at The
Hague.
The nen-aggreuion pact.
Th report of the finance, trans
port and economic commission.
in (peaking of these report the
British premier ststed that they alone
justified the holding of the confer
ence.
He warned Russia that Europe was
gradually filling the gap left by Rus
sia' decline, but that It wa sad to
tee the million of Russian in de
spair and starving.

Lioyd George, he expect a buyer to

Washington government that Russia
must rid herself of sovietigm, as the
firm essential step toward economic
restoration.
It was made plain that while .(he
I'nited States does pot desire to im
pede in any way an inquiry by Inter
national experts as to whr.t Is the
matter In Russia and is prepared to
join in any plan purely for ihe pur
pose of making such an inquiry,
Washington officials are -certain the
result would be only to show that the
chief economic barrier to fiussian re
storation is sovictism.
No Security for Loan.
Obviously, it was pointed out today,
the United States government will not
consider any question of a loan to a
government based on principles that
avowedly would deny any recognized
form of security for the loan. It is
useless for the Busslan delegation at
Genoa or any one else to believe that
even recognition in the diplomatic
pay, and when a man ask a second rfJh Bovjrt gc,vernmf.nt ,,5

said that It wa unwise te argue for
repudiation of debt when one want
te borrow more money.

eloquence could net convert the Rus

that the Russians would continue

If public funds are not to be available
for such loan, American private

The Washington government was

possibly be in order to form a basis

The outstanding fact thus to be d

Neiv Orleans Woman, Who
Is Mother of Twenty One,
Criticizes Birth Control

NEW ORLEANS. l,a.. May 19.
Toiling through tho drudgery of her
work-a-day world In a little grocery
store down In Port street here Is
.Mrs. Jacob Caranek, "champion
mother."
HrusMng aside her dark, wavy
hair, which Is beginning to silver
around the temples. Mrs. Caranek, In
Severn language, criticized the idea
of birth control.
"Mothers." she said, her dark
eyes fiasbmg, "have a duty to per
form In bringing children into the
world. Motherhood Is the mission of
women and when my time comes to
go to the Great Beyond I shall feel
that I have accomplished tho mission
that wa allotted me."
The "champion mother h!,s given
birth to 21 children In ss many
years. She is 47 years old, weighs
!"" pounds and is a picture of per
fect health. Ten of her children are
living.
"I never have time to worry about
iv aches and pains," asserts Mrs.
Cart nek. "God has been good to me,
because J have striven to do Ills
work fn properly raising my child
ren, I have very much to be proud
of and I feel that my cood health is
due to (he performance of God's
service.
"These worn"!! who are advocating
birth control kt)n little of mother
hood. Most of them fondle pewwiie
dogs Instead of children. They have
a mania for publicity and are not
content to sit in retirement and bear
children, as was Intended.
"There seems to be io mnch ul-tra-modemttv
among women now
aday. It is disgusting to bear child
lens social matron'" !H M bow we
should raise our offspring. It seems
that some women, in order to push
themselves into the limelight, are
willing to say almost anything that
1 crosswise with naiure, God gave
women Hie mother Instinct, and
women who bear children know bet
ter how to raise them than these
childless women who spoclaiiio In
is

writing book about how growing
children should tie brought up.
"I have had no trou'ne in raising
my brood, and I'm proud of every
one of them. Eleven are dead, but
It is God's will that they were taken
from me. And so I shall not complain
about that.'
The "champion mother" was horn
in the little village of petravice,
Ciecho-.Slovakla, and ciitue to New
Orleans when a mere girl. At the
age of IS she was married jo Jacob
Caranek, also a native of Cz'-cho-SlovakiK,
and 11 years her senior.
"Jacob and mysnif," she relates,
"have made our life a partnership.
We both have worked with a mission
that of raising our children so that
they will be asiefa in humanity end
bfcome productive of something that
will make the world better than tt
would have been without them.
Knowing that we have succeeded In
doing that, even lhouh deep sor
row has been ours at times, Jacob
and 1 feel that nothing else matter."
