Just what way the Salvution Army ;
can work more effectively in helping 1
to eliminate, or to take care ot cer- :
tain social happenings and conditions,
and how the country may use tho Ar
my's trained organization and institu
tional facilities, will be determined by
a Salvation Army Advisory Hoard
formed here in I'rlnevlllo March 1,
1920.
These men see In the Sulvation Ar
my Home Service Program for 1920,
an opportunity to obtain social ser
vice, more closely approximating that
given by the Army for many years in
the larger cities.
The board was organized at a meet
ing held In Juy H. Upton's offices.
After the plan had been explained by
Elmer S. Turner, field representative
for the Salvation Army, and thor
oughly discussed by those present,
Jay H. Upton waB chosen chairman of
the board and Robert Douglas vice
chairman. A. W. Battles was chosen
secretary.
Other members of the board are
Judge N. U. Wallace, Geo. P. Keanies,
Mayor li. K. Stewart, J. E. Myers,
Mrs. Wilda iielknap, W. I'. Hursuoy,
C. W. Elklns, Hugh Lakin, Harold
liuldwin, Geo. Euiston, Mrs. C. S. Ed
wards. Other members will be selected by
the board from tho surrounding coun
try. ,
The first duty of the board will be
to make a study of social conditions
in Pr'neville and Crook county on the
following subjects; Poverty, unem
ployment, juvenile delinquencies and
illigitiniacy and muke a report to the
State Army Headquarters, in this
way the Army will know how they
can best help. The findings of the
hoard will he strictly confidential
and used only to guide the' Salvation
Army officers in determining their
action in this county.
It is not anticipated that social con
ditions will be found worse in this
county than in any of the others, but
the board believes the study will be
of great value in revealing opportun
ities for work by the Army hi fields
not now covered by any existing char
itable or religious organization.
The board will constitute the l'nk
through which Crook County may
call upon tlie Salvation Army for as
sistance, for its girls who may be in
trouble, poverty, etc., at any time,
while the Army In turn through its
report on the local situation will be
able to make Its work ore efficient.
Alfalfa Land
$45 per Acre
120 Acres, all under cultivation, fenc
ed with woven wire fence, 80 acres In
cultivation, close to good school, half

be hud at easy depth on this ranch.
$1800 cash, balance easy terms. This
is the lust bargain to be had under
ths Ochoco Project, as the land Is ad
vancing fust and many tracts are sell
ing for $20 per acre more than is ask
ed for this pluce.
R. L. Schee
Prineville,
Oregon
Every county In Oregon will soon
have such a board. Every county In
tho U. S. will have such a board, just
as rapidly as they can ho formed. All
this is being done by the Salvation
Army for tho betterment of humanity.
