Add to the evidence of quality the fact that Oregon’s hens produce on the average about 50 per cent more eggs than in any otner part of the country and it can be readily understood why the eggs produced in thia state last year were valued at $.,.R,X00,000—more than the value placed on all the vegetables, fruit or dairy products produced in the commonwealth.

Perhaps it is because of stormy weather that the Red Cross rollcall lags, but it is a better guess that a few people are unmindful of past services and others are unaware that the work begun by the Red Cross during the war is not yet completed. Work of the home service branch as a matter of fact is still exacting, and rehabilitation of sick and wounded service men, in which the organization ia active, will not be finished until the last soldier has been cared for. Due allowance can be made for abatement of enthusi asm with the nominal end of the war, but the number thus far en rolled in Portland js farther than it ought to be below reasonable ex pectations. There W more work for the Red Cross to do, and Portland has a reputation to sustain.

In order to assist in relieving the conditions above named the Herald is going to endeavor to do its share in relieving the sit- nation. This is our proposition: To every authorized church asso ciation or Sunday school, or benevolent society that brings the Herald one year's paid in advance subscription the publisher of this newspaper will contribute one'half of the amount to a “Christmas Fund" to be used in any manner directed by said church, Sunday school or other benevolent association. Now, dear p«-ople, get busy, and w what you can do to make the kiddirs happy tills A. I). 1920, The Herald would suggest that each church or other organi- zation meet immediately and appoint a live committee to further thia project to the best of their ability. V ol . XVIII.
