mountains by the first wagon train
80 years ago and celebrating the
completion of the Blue mountain link
cf the new Old Oregon Trail across
Oregon.
On the contrary, ladies especially
are being urged to lend a pioneer
atmosphere to the affair by wearing
old fashioned clothing and the men
are asked to attire themselves in a
manner similar to the pioneers of
former days. The pageant is entire

to prevent lawlessness at the pageant
preparations are being mnde to han
dle those who might need surveil

U UhTIW
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June C
With the belief that the problem of
caring for orphans of the World wnr
in five years will bft second only to
that of' disabled veterans, members
of the American Legion are prepar
ing to provide relief for the children
of their former comrades who arc lef1
in destitute circumstunces in the
years to come.
Under the direction of George A
Withers, of Clay Center, Kansas,
chairman of the legion's national war
orphans' committee, a survey of the
condition of -war orphans and facili
ties already established for ttiem will
be conducted by legicn members in
every state. An attempt will be
made to estimate the number of or
phans who will need relief at the
end of a period of five years-;
Although there is no manner of
arriving at the exact total of chil
dren who will require assistance, the
Irtrion has examined statistics of- the
Civil war and it has been estimated
that there will be from 85,000 to
40,000 war orphans in this country in
about 12 years.
The lesion's plan for relief in
cludes four nrovisions. The most de
sirable method pf caring for the
children, acording to Mr. Withers, is
to keep them in their homes, n pos
sible, and to assist their mothers by
obtaining mothers' pensiens and oth
er relief measures-
Second in order of advantageous
nlans. is the niacins- of children in
the right kind of homes, where they
will receive kind treatment from fos
ter parents and will profit from con
genial surroundings, the legion con
tends. To provide fcr those who arc not
included in - the first two plans, the
legion is investigating the establish
ment of state hemes. Irr Michigan,
Illinois and Pennsylvania, homes for
World war orphans arc already in
operation under auspices of the le
gion, and Kansas legionnaires will
soon establish an institution cf that
nature.
Children in states which do not
maintain homes would be cared for
in regional or. nntional homes, ac
cording to the fourth provision of
the plan. These homes wculd rreivc
children from sparsely populated
states, where the number of war or
phans would not warrant the crea
tion of speial initutions.
Cases of dependent orphans would
he investigated by the nearest post
of the American legion, which would
art an .unofficial . iruardian for the
children, according to the legion's
plan- The rorty and Mght, nng
nated as the playground auxiliary
organization to the legion, plans to
pend j:i4,000 to relieve war orphans.

ONE CIVIL CASE
COMPLETED IN
CIRCUIT COURT
The first caso before the circuit
court, J. C. Oorbin vs. IWtong Sinff,
was completed last evening when tho
jury returned a verdict giving th
plaintiff immediate possession of th
car, fixing the value cf the car at
$200 and holding no damages against
the defendant. Tho case of j. M
Stublileficid vs. J. -A. RTes hears, a
civil case, was started this morning
Mr. Corbiu sued tho defendant for
the recovery of a car and damages,
on a contract alleged signed to Cor
hin. miirovo society in order that from
letter homes we mav .bring forth
better servants of the state, mora
efficient cannon fodder for ita armed
ferces; rather wo seek to make bet
ter homes in order that we may avoid
the necessity for conflict and tur
moil in, our world. The home is tha
apex, and the aim, tho end rather
than the menus, of our whole- social
system. So far as thin world knows
or can vision, thcro is no attainment
more desirable than the happy and
contented home.
"The common man of yesterday
was a serf, a peasant bound to tasks
whose significance he did not know
and for whoso results he had small
caro- The common man of today is
a citi.en, a voter, a sovereign, truly
a participant in determining the
ends and destiny of the state. It is
the purpose of tho better homes
a.mrvetnent to make possible a like
