Ill, ST. JOHNS EVIEW VOLUME 14 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1918. NUMBER 46 Subscribers, Please Note Subscribers to the Review will please note that under the new ruling inaugurated by the government in order to conserve tne supply of newspaper as much as possible, all subscript tions three months in arrears must be discontinued. While the Review management would prefer to await the convenience of the subscriber, yet it cannot refuse to do the bidding of the new ruling. Therefore, all sub scribers knowing themselves to bo arrears for subscription to this paper for a period of three months or longer are earnestly requested to call in and have their date advanced. The label on the paper gives the month and tho year, tho latter figure being the year. Hence if the label reuds "January 18," it means that the paper is paid to January, lUia. it the label is in distinct in any case, kindly nd viso us. We do not want to lose a single name from our sub scription list, but after the fifteenth day of next month all subscriptions which do not show a ante closer than July 15. 1918, will of necessity be discontinu ed. In order that all thoso in ar rears may remember this fact, notices to this effect will be mailed to each individual the first of noxt week. The great mnjority of those now three months in arrears are good pay ing subscribers and have, us a rule, paid up when tho year had expired, and to theso especially we dislike to notify that they must either settle up or have their names removed from the list. But there is no other way, and such being the case we earnestly trust that none will take nlfonse at receiving such peremptory notice. Newspaper publishers are also prohibited from sending or giving out any free papors. Such i the gov crnmont ruling, and to such wc must abide. Noto tho label on your paper, and save us the dis agreeable task of sending you a "reminder." Controversy Terminates Following months of contro versy between those concerned in the Multnomah County drain ago district No. 1, having for its object tho building of two dams in Columbia Slough and tho reclamation of close to 8000 acres of overilow land, and property owners of tho Penin sula district, who objected to the slough being closed, claiming it was required as a water route for vessels serving tho indus trial district, the Port of Port land Commission has decided to enter into a contract with the district, through which the dams aro to bo removed when the Port elects, In addition to closing tho contract, which is to bo signed by tho president and secretary of the Commis sion, there was adopted a re solution sotting forth that, as the Port is authorized by law to maintain a channel in the slough, the members, are in favor of keeping that portion of the Slough open between the Willamette River ' and Union avenue, so plants there may be reached by river vessels and by towboats with barges. The controversy regarding the clos ing of the Slough has been be fore the Council, United States Engineers and the Port of Port land for months. A public hear ing was conducted recently by Colonel Zinn, Corps of Engin eers, U. S. A., the War Depart ment having ordered a report made of the matter. Oregon ian. Old Johnson had boon dining out on Christmas Eve with some friends. When he left to go home he found that there was a very thick fog. He per severed, however, until at last he found that he was lost. Stumbling along a narrow path way.says the Weekly Telegraph, he presently found himself de scending a flight of steps. That, he felt sure was not right; and so, as he could hear footsteps ascending, he paused. "Pardon me," he said to the dim figure that presently loomed through the fog, "but can you tell me where these steps will lead meV" "Certainly, sir," replied the stranger politely. "Directly into the riven 1 have just come out!" o There is nothing a soldier en joys so much as pictures of home and the home ioiks. bena them a few home. snap shots. Cumn Says So, Will Open Up Here The Union Building & Loan Association, with head offices at 284 Oak street, Portland, recent ly completed arrangements for the opening of a branch office in St. Johns. The business in this locatily will bo in charge of Mr. A. W. Davis, well known local real estate man. Among tho local business men who will be connected with tho local branch are: A. A. Muck, Dr. S. A. Mulkey, Dr. E. R. Seely, A. W. Davis, J. Rebman, John Noce, T. A. Glover; G. P. Bartlett, and D. C. Lewis. R. J. Kirk wood, vice-president and general manager of the association, has spent considerable time in St. Johns recently, arranging forj the opening ot the local oiiicc. In speaking of tho work that the association expects to take up in this community, Mr. Kirk wood said: "The housing situa. tion in i'ortianu has become so acute that it has become ncccs sary for this association to take special steps looking toward the erection of now houses. Few people in Portland fully realize the crisis that confronts the city at this time. Whilo in Port land last week. Mr. A. Merritt Taylor, representing the housing uuroau of tho Emergency Fleet Corporation, made tho positive statement that, unless Portland can erect between 1500 and 2000 homes in tho very near fu ture, tho Emergency Fleet Cor poration will grant no more jhip contracts to this district. Ho put it up smiarcly to the city officials and tho Portland Chamber of Commerce, ami these officials, after deliberation. pledged Mr. Taylor thnt tho necessary number of homes would bo mi t. At a mnss meeting, held in the Lincoln High School Monday night, for the purpose of laying plnns for this work, it became immediate ly apparent that neither the City of Portland nor tho Cham ber of Commcrco could under take this work singly and nlono that t renuired tho fun co operation of every citizon of Portland in order to bring about the renuired results. It aecmcd to bo the jroneral oninion Of the meeting thnt in order to save time and utilize tho forces that aro now available for this work, the most practical method of procedure will be to work through building and loan as sociations and other organiza tions of liko nature, which al ready have the machinery and organization necessary to carry on work ot this Kind." Sneaking further on this sub ject, Mr. Kirkwood said: "I heartily endorso the sentiments expressed by Mayor Baker, when ho stated at the meet ng. that the city would not lay down tho oars permitting the erec tion of a lot of shacks which could be of but temporary ser vice. The plan contemplates tho erection of permanent homes which will bo a credit and an asset to tho community. A building and loan associa tion would not find in n shack settlement such as it is under stood is being built at Seattle, satisfactory security for the money advanced in a building campaign. But tho homes that will be erected in Portland will constitute a safe investment, both for the man purchasing the home, and for the building and loan association that advances the money for the building." Every citizen of Portland can and should participate in this work by placing in the hands of this builiing and loan association any funds they can spare, whether large or small, and any funds so deposited will form a safe and profitable investment, as the loans to bo made will be in strict conformity with state regulations, which insures a safe margin of protection lor the investor, and at the same timo a reusonable return on the money invested. Any attempt at profiteering, by any perpon connected with the present hous ing campaign will be sternly dealt with. By dealing through this as sociation, persons may secure wholesale prices on building materials of all kinds, which will help materially in making the erection of homes at this time a safe investment. The citizens of St. Johns are urged to take a hand in this campaign, as doubtlessly the majority of homes to be built will be built on the peninsula. They should get in touch with Mr. Davis at once, in order to acquaint themselves with the details of the plan, and the part they can play in carrying it out to a successful conclusion. We guarantee all A. D. S. I Remedies. Currin Says So. Was a Fine Success The big Ladies' Auxiliary dance has passed into history, but the memories of one of the finest ocasions since the open ing of the Community House, at tho Grant Smith-Porter Ship Company's Yard, will linger long with tho many hundred people who thronged the hall. Financially the Auxiliary netted over 57UU; socially, tho even-. ing was one which gave rich evidence of tho painstaking. arrangements of tho competent committee in charge, and justi fied tho hones of the auxiliary and their friends for an evening filled witli pleasure. The orchestra, under the guidance of Leader F. E. Lewis, dispensed music which called forth mnny expressions of com mendation, and the musicians responded generously to the re pented calls for encores. Ono of the novel features of the even ing wus a "moonlight dance," in which tho participants waltz ed under tho softened light thrown from tho movinir nicturo room at the end of the hall. The effect was enchanced by pleas- ing vocal selections rendered by Arthur S. Himclwright during the dances. Great credit is due to Mrs. Elmer Hanson, chair man of the dance committee, Mrs. Charles Goodman anu the following ladies who acted as a committee: Musdnmes A. M. Himes, W. J. Quinn, A. S. Himclwright, Hargraves. Prico and R. Van Ordum and tho Misses Edith Pitts, Lavorno Miller. Phyllids Andortton, Alico Doty and Maymo Barry. L00SEH - iV.'

The committee. together with the other ladies of the auxiliary, have been working hard for tho past week in their efforts to make the occasion memorable. and their enthusiasm met a gon erous response. The money rais ed will be devoted to relieving distress among the shipworkers and their families, and will por mit an extension of the fine work which has been accom plished by tho organization. In addition to the tickets sold, many contributions were receiv ed from the various lumber com panies and a $20 contribution by Charles Bechtod, General Manager of the National Hos pital Association. The ladies of the committee wish to thank the above con tributors and also Manager Pitts of the community house, who cooperated untiringly with the auxiliary in their efforts to promote the success of the dance. Mrs. Julia M. Parker, a for mer well known resident of St. Johns, but who had been in California for some time, in or dering her Review changed to Wichita, Kansas, where she now is, takes occasion to say: "I do sot want to miss a copy of the Review. I feel a person ai interest in all the St. Johns boys who are in any way con nected with the war. I know they will give a good account of themselves and do their part in winning the war." Pathe Records at Currins. Advertising is Essential A healthy industrial condition is essential to win the war. Unabated sales and continued advertising are imperative in maintaining good industrial health. The successful conduct of business, and the intensive prosecution of the war presents a problem of adjustment rather than oi coninct. iiiese are views of W.O. Rutherford, vice president of the B. F Goodrich Rubber Company. "Advertis ing and advertising effort sales, and sales of effort, are just as much a part of our economic fabric as tho growing of wheat or potatoes or the manufacture of articles of daily use." said Rutherford. "What happened in England is peculiarly instructive. Aug ust, 1914, saw the worst trade panic England over saw. Ad vertising in tho London dailies dropped to less than half the July figures. The public stopped buying and began to hoard money. I'oople wore their shoos to shreds. It was expected thnt there would be unemployment on the widest scale, and a huge fund was col lected to feed the poor. This fund was never needed. What did England do? She called togeth er her advertising men and made it plain that the industries had to bo kept alive. This gospel brought advertising back to its pre-war level. "'That which koeps our busi ness going today" said Se'f ridge, London's biggest merchant, "id the 70,500,000 a week of national payroll. It comet! our out UP, TURTLE of tho banks on Friduy, goo over the retailer's counter on Saturday, and back into the banks on Monday. "If adver tisers wouldn't advortiso, poo pie wouldn't spend, and this would moan that this groat sum would bo impeded, businoas would slacken, and national pro sperity would suffer." There are so mnny dialects spoken nt tho fighting front, says an English paper, that con fusion sometimos results. A sergeant major, in training some newly arrived recruits in judging distance, said: "You see that sapling over thoro on the hillside?" "No, sir." said the man addressod, aftor look ing long and carefully in tho direction indicated. "I don't see any sapling." There's only one, and that's right in front of you." the man twed and reported as before. again "Look here," said the sergeant major "do you know what a sapling is?" "Oh ves," replied the re cruit, "a young pig."

Do Your Full Share Although tho sheer weight of America's millions of troops will bo sufficient to crush the Hun back of the Rhino and batter down upon the Kaiser's ears the remnants of the world crown he thought to wear, it has not been numbers, but tpyical American mobility, which has saved tho day for the entente thus far. Wilhelm and tho German General Staff, admit ting the gigantic resources of the United States, made the error of calculating In years in stead of weeks the time neces sary for the shaping of those resources for war purposes. Tho day that wo entered tho war, scores of our fleet destroyers ?pcd east across the Atlantic, l'o a ship, they teported upon arrival at British naval bases, "Ready for action." When con tinued losses by submarines seemed likely to make good the German threat to starve Eng land, Schwab turned a hundred shipyards looso on a shiphuild ing program such as the wildest optimist had not dreamed possi ble. American railroad men built 2000 miles of track in France; hundreds of huge ware houses were erected; moun tains of food, munitions and other supplies were landed. When the German masses, re leased from all Eastern fronts, began their ominous drive through Picardy, American troops, months in advancu even of the hurry up American pro gram, began to pour through tho chanivel gateways, and the Hun was Irohl, then driven back. Thus American ability to con centrate quickly its war efforts on anv given point on the enemy line has foiled every Hun at tempt whether by sea or land. A really great demonstration of this Amercan faculty will be given in the Fourth Liberty Loan. Confronted with tho nec essity of raising a war loan of twice tho sizo of any of itj epoch-making predecessors, wo are called upon to finish the task in three weeks. Only by tho full and united ollort of every man. woman and child in the United States can this great task bo completed in the time set. It is as certain that it will he completed successfully as that the grim courage of Ameri can on French battlefields will continue to batter back the Hun. Bo miro you do YOUR mIihio.

A farmer who was much troubled by trespassers during thu nutting season consulted a iiotanist. According to Harpers Magazine, tho scientist furnish ed him with tho technical name of tho hazelnut, und the farmer placed the following notice at conspicuous points about his promises: Trospassors, take warning: All persons entering this wood do so at their own risk, for, although common snakes arc not often found, the Corlyus avellana abounds every where about here, and never givos warning of its presence." The place was unmolosted that year, and the farmer gathered his crop in peace. Hoar evory kind of record at its best. The Brunswick Talk ing Machine plays all records at thoir host.
