ENTERTAIN A SOLDitR NEWSY ITEMS FROM WILLIAM MIK HELL DIES HELP WANTED Al HOME IN LENTS MALE OR EEMALE ON THANKSGIVING DAY DOWN THE LINE Six Hard Worked Business Men In Need of a Uttle Assistance from The Arteta «strict. Every night from 7:00 to 9:00 and during the greater part of the day a few public spirited citizens »pend their time, »hoe-leather and energy, rain or »bine, in visiting the homes in the Arfeta dis trict explaining the iwnefits that will accrue tn the district with the advent of a naw public library, and soliciting funds to purchase the lot nrressary to secure this building. The Portland iJbrary Association found tliey were in a position to turn one of the very few remaining Carnegie Libraries out this wsy, and after full investigation of the needs of the com* munlty chose the Arleta district, and laid down certain specifications which would liave to tie met before the build ing could be secured. These were brief ly to provide a lot in a position suitable to the Asrociation. One was finally O. K’d at 46th avenue and Foster.Road, and tins energetic committee are busy night and day securing subscriptions of *1 and up until tbe required 11800 is se cured. To date they have raised 11200, and would have completed the task if it had not proven to lie such slow work. On account ot having to stop and ex plain tiie matter fully to each party they find they can only make a few visits each day, and most of these must be made in 11 te evening when tbe men folk are at home. The library will serve a district ot about 1600 blocks, with many thousand homes, so it should not be at all ditficult to raise the entire sum. If all who read these lines, if they have not already given, will get in touch with the com mittee at once and send in 92 or 93 or 85 or 910, much time and energy will be saved and it will be a fine test of true public splritedneea. Mr. Leach is tbe Secretary, at the Phoenix Pharmacy, Kern Park, Tabor 465. ST. PAUL S GUILD GIVE SUCCESSFUL TEA. The Guild tea given by tbe ladies of St. Paul's Wednesday afternoon at tbe borne of Mrs. A. Geisler, 92 nd St., was a most successful and pleasureable event. Tbe spacious rooms were filled with guests. The program consisted of a few choice numbers which included an Instrumental solo by Mrs. Leo Katsky, who delighted her friends by responding to a most enthusiastic encore. Mrs. Biakesley, of Woodmere, formerly soloist of Trinity Church in Syracuse. N. Y., sang two numbers, accompanied by Mrs Katsxy. Mrs. Biakesley is a beautiful singer with a winning personality and won the hearts of ail. Mrs. J. 8. White ford, of tbe Bishop’s office, Field Secre tary for the general board of missions, gave a very interesting talk on the work being carried on under tbe church in Alaska. Mrs. Whiteford was Field Secretary of the Social Service Commis sion of the Diocese of Chicago when Bishop Sumner was chairman of that committee. Before coming to Portland site served for some time as secretary of the missionary district of Spokane. Mrs. Powell, Educational Secretary for t)»e State of Oregon, spoke regard ing the study course for the year. Mrs. Boatright displayed some very beautiful lags which at once elicited tbe admiration of all the ladies present. It was learned that they were to be placed on sale at the Bazaar which is to be held on Wednesday of next week at the home of Mrs. J. J. Johnson, of Woodmere station. It is sate to assume that many of the ladies who were present at tbe tea will be unable to resist tbe temptation to become the owner of one of them. At the close of the program Rev. Tkylor, Rector of St. Paulfe, ipcike briefly after which refreshments were served. Mrs. A. Geisler, Mrs. 8. J. Al ien and Mrs. F. P. Alien Were the host esses. They were assisted in serving by Mrs. Robb, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Guy Robinson. A local committee has been appointed for the securing of entertainment in the homes of tbe vicinity for the soldier boys on Thanksgiving. This action is in eonformity with state and national plans to have our soldier boys enter tained In the homes of the country up on Thanksgiving Day rather than to provide them with a dinner at tbe camps, since It Is believed the boys would appreciate the atmosphere of "borne" oven though it is not tboir own. as much as tbev would the roast turkey end other good things usually provided upon this day. Surely there is no borne In tbe country where a Thanksgiving dinner will be prepared but wbat a soldier boy would be welcome. The ladies ot this committees will undoubt edly meet with a generous responee from the people of Lenta. Tbe Lents committee consists of Mrs. Pearl Freeberg, chairman; Mrs. J. Al len Dunbar, representing the Friends Church; Mrs. Geo. Rowley, of the MetluMliet Church ; Mrs. Rather Fank- banaer. of the Evangelical Church and Mrs. McKinley, of the Baptist Church.

PUBLIC SERVICE A PATRIOTIC SERVICE Mrs. Lillian Perry, of Arleta, chaper oned a party consisting of her three sons sod their young lady friends on a motor trip to St. Helens on Sunday last They spent the day visiting with friends, enjoying a fine chicken dinner and home again in the evening. Tbe young ladies of tbe party were Misses Alice Powers, Ona Hollingwortb and Allie Catille. Geo. Merry (has returned to Madras, Ore., to resume his work on some build ing projects which be has under con struction. Tbe idea put forth by tbe San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce, that voters have a right to demand tbe services of tbe bigbest type of citizenship in public office as a patriotic duty, is gaining ground. Western states that will in 1918 elect legislative, county and state officials are awakening to the necessity of com mandeering the beet men regardlees ot party for unselfish service to the state. The small type of political operator who goes into office to make wbat he can out of it for himself in cash, or to use his position for profit or personal advancement at this crisis is not in de mand. Great military necessities are staring tbe nation in the face, with rapidly mounting war taxee, with enormous re* sponsibilitiee for food regulations, con trol of transportation and manufactur ing. The day ot small-minded self-seeker and political profiteer baa passed, and as the greatest men in the > nation are serving on boards and commissions to increase national efficiency, big men must serve the state. A political efficiency commission should be organized in each county in the state, and proceed to search with a big-meehed dragnet for men of the largest ealibre, and tbe cleanest records for unselfishness. The people have the right to de mand tbe services of such men in city, county and stat« governments, that ex ploitation of tbe people in this great crisis of the nation’s life be reduced to a minimum. Mrs. Robt. Burch, of Millard Avenue, is quite ill. She was taken to tbe Sell wood hospital suffering with gall stones. Her many friends sincerely hope for her speedy recovery. Grandma Jones, mother of Mrs. Fletcher, of Millard Ave., is somewhat indisposed of late. She is 82 years of age and has been remarkably spry and active and it is hoped she will soon be among her friends again. Mr. L. C. Jordan is quite miserable again, which his friends greatly regret. Meedames Wines, Ford, Doran, Evans, Fletcher, Miller, Barnard. Harman, Bowman and Coatee met at the home of Mrs. Geo. Merry on Friday and sewed for the soldiers. A great deal was accomplished during the afternoon. The following articles were turned over to State Headquarters by Mrs. Geo. Merry, president of Arleta W. C. T. U.: Twelve tea towels, 13 lbs. colored rags, 7 lbs. white rags, 20 lbs, shoes, 6 hot water bottle bags, 3 holders, 4 dos. handkerchiefs, 28 wash rags, 16 needle books, 14 napkins, 6 tray cloths, 86 quilt blocks, 1 knitted scarf, 1 sweater, 1 pr, wristlets. Thread, 25 eta.; tape 25 eta.; muslin, 9100; braid, 75 eta.; and flannel, 75 eta. was reported donated by individuals. This is a splendid report and adds greatly to the credit of the union. Mr. 8. D. Sigouir ia assuming the management of the meat market in the Maier building at Laurelwood. It will be opened for business on Monday next. Dr. J. K. Brown, for 40 years a mis sionary to Turkey, will speak in the Congregational church at Laurel wood this evening.

There ia a curious irony in thanks giving festivities while a nation ia at war; in almost every home there will be at least one empty chair but it is perhaps just this situation which will draw more cloeely together the ties of family affection. Commenting on this condition, a writer in the November is sue of Good Housekeeping says; "Let us try, first of all, to collect a big fami ly. Find someone who would other wise have to sit down to some lonely table. Economise we must in every way conceivable. It is possible, how ever, to plan and execute our menu with such cunning art that the econo mies will never be suspected.” Here is a suggestion: Uxbridge Vegetable Soub, Toast Strips Roast Turkey, Giblet Stuffing, Fried Apple Garnish Baked Squash, Creamed Turnip, Onton Latticed Potatoes, Spaghetti, Creole Sauce Home-made Picallilli, Cranberry Sauce Rings of Brown Bread Cold Slaw, Russian Dressing, Crisps General Taylor’s Pudding Concordia Sauce Old-faahioned Pumpkin Pie, Apple Tart, Cheese Candied Orange Peel Coffee Every item in the foregoing may be prepared inexpensively and after show ing how, tbe author even soggests economical carving. To quote; “When serving, carve slices and serve witboot the bones. Wbat is left on the platter may be used in soup." In connection with thia article, a menage, published in tbe same issue from Herbert Hoover, is oi genuine in terest. "The Thanksgiving dinner this year should be festive, but not ornate. The day should be one of real Thanks giving even for tbe mother who prepares and serves the dinner herself. Thanks giving would not be Thanksgiving with out a chicken or turkey or without cranberries in some form. Potatoes and other vegetables there should bo. Corn meal bread is suggested as a reminder of our country’s^need to save wheat. Mince pie is omitted because that means unnecessary use of meat. Pumpkin pie istypfealiy American, reminiscent of the first Thanksgiving day, and it has but ons crust, thus economizing in wheat-flour.”
