OUR CITY'S NEEDS
A Suggestion for the Church Broth
erhoods to Think Over
In common with all towns and cit
ies'; Oregon City has many needs. And
foremost among them are needed the
things which count for righteousness,
and clean and happy living. We think
with shame and regret of the many
places which count for anything but
right living, and we talk of trying to
eliminate these by creation of a just
public sentiment, which will lead to a
prohibition legislation. But have we
considered soberly the fact that we
must have something to take the
Dlace of these saloons and other plac
es of questionable resort? Were they
this day to be removed, what would
we have to offer to homeless men and
to men who are accustomed to spend
their evenings on the street?
This question has been asked many
times, but no answer that has resulted
in anything definite or lasting has
been given. And the pity of it is that
there are many churches here, organ-
zations for helping mankind to a high
er and truer life, and they have not
done what they might have done, if
united ettort had been made.
Manv vears ago a woman, who has
since died, had this matter deeply at
heart. She thought oi her son, her
only child, who, with an inherited
taste for strong drink, would fall an
easy prey to the many evil resorts
which were even then on our streets.
By urging and planning, and work
ing, she started what afterward be
came our Y. M. C. A., which after a
precarious existence, gave up the ef
fort. There were many reasons for this
failure, partly the unfortunate lo
cation; but mostly because it did not
have the moral and tinancial support
of the majority of our citizens. Many
tried hard and long, but it was of no
use.
Now what can we do about this ?
We have asked the question long
enough. Why could not this be the
work of the Brotherhoods of our
churches ? There are four, which more
or less hold their monthly meetings
with banquets and speeches. Why
could this plan for for a mens' resort
not be taken up by these four organ
izations and made the plan for their
effort and influence ? No more worthy
or needed cause could be presented
and labored for. In these Brother
hoods are many men who are not
members of the churches, yet who
have the good of the city at heart,
and are willing to spend and to speak
for righteousness. A concentrated act
ion of all these, with the enthusiasm
which numbers and a good cause al
ways arouse, could and would result
in a place where men could spend a
pleasant evening, without evil influences.
It would need to be a place where
a working man could go in his work
ing clothes, a roomy place where
books, papers magazines, games and
cheerful company could give an en
joyable evening.
Uur churches would ana ao give a
hearty welcome to all who come to
our services. But they are open for
regular meetings only two or three
evenings in a week, and there are the
other evenings where only saloons,
picture shows and the like are regu
larly open.
This is only a suggestion, and pos
sibly not a practicable one in the eyes
of the "brethern". But looked at from
a woman's point, it seems feasible.
Surely, something of this kind needs
to be done, and it ought not to be de
layed. MRS. D .C. LATOURETTE.

PRACTICAL LINES
Juvenile Fairs . Splendid Means to
Educate the Children
A great deal has been said in re
gard to the ways in which to advance
the education of the children along
practical lines, and to cultivate the
individuality that lies dormant in all
children only waiting for well direct
ed guidance to develop the latent
talents into a power for good. .
In the effort to teach this broader
view of education, training schools
in domestic science, art, manual work
and agriculture have been establish-.
ed, which is a movement in the right
direction and in time will be far
reaching in every day life.
In order to bring the children in
to closer touch with the movement
the iuvenile fairs have been estab
lished. Clackamas county has been
divided into five districts. The Ore
gon City, West' Oregon City, Wil
lamette, Canemah, Mount Pleasant,
Twilight, Leland, uarus, Beaver
Creek, Maple Lane, Henrici, Clair
mont. Jones Mill, Holcomb, Park
Place, East Clackamas, Jennings
Lodge, Gladstone, Hazel Dale, and
Eldorado. Last year the first juve
nile fair was held in the Commercial
Club rooms. The exhibits displayed
were very good, but' the fair had
not been established long enough to
make it a real live success, though
the interest shown was encouraging.
Prizes were offered for all articles
made, and produce grown by the
boys and girls between the ages of
fourteen and twenty, and are placed
in three clases: those between the
ages of fourteen and twenty class
A; ten to fourteen in class B, and
all under ten in class C. Some of
the reasons for the prizes being of
fered are, first: giving the child
ren an interest in, and motive for
doing work on the farm, which in
cludes agriculture, care of animals,
manual arts and household arts, in
spiring them to do the various things
through their interest and industry.
2nd: Establishing" a high standard
for the various things that are.,
grown or made for the fair, which
will gradually improve the things
produced throughout, the district.
3rd: To show what the children
can do toward improving the farms
and bettering conditions of homes
and neighborhoods.
4th: To encourage the children to
do something for themselves, thus
developing individuality.
5th: An educational training that
will tend to meet the problem of the
high cost of living.
The prize list will be sent out to
the different schools as soon as
completed. Committees have been
appointed to take charge of the ex
hibits and arrange for the programs
and music. This article will be con
tinued in next week's issue, giving
a detailed account of the . arrange
ments and plans for the second ju
venile fair of Clackamas county.

the price deMtsoii;
AsTiandsome a car as the most exacting buyer could
desire. . From cooler to tail-light impressive, every line
indicating flectness and power, eloquent of comfort and
pleasure, built with faithful regard to genuine quality, cor
rect, invulnerable in every mechanical detail, the' best in
its class that American skill can produce and money can buy.
That is the Overland. ,
They don't build only 5,000 of them; nor even 10,000.
If they producedf no more than that number of cars, they
too, would have to ask at least $1300 for the beautiful car
we offer at $985 F. O 13. Toledo.
They build 40,000 cars this season. They contract
for the raw material for this enormous production at one
time, pay for it in cash, and thereby secure the best the
jinarkets afford, at the lowest prices."
The price includes everything needed for comfort
able touring; acetylene ertgine starter, gas tank, gas and oil
lamps, genuine mohair top and top covering, clear vision,
rain-vision windshield, Warner speedometer, horn, robe
raiJ, foot-rest, tire carriers in the rear of the car, etc.
The Overland motor is the best of its type. Some
motors this is an important point have three main bear
ings, some only two. Overland motors have five large
main bearings; that's one of the reasons why they work
without trouble. The whole motor is built for power and
endurance. . .
The Overland model 69 rear axle is of a new and
improved type, three-quarter floating; this axle system has
all the advantages of the full-floating axle, but none of the
shortcomings of the semi-floating axle usually found in
cars of moderate price. ,
The brakes are of new design, overlarge, gradual
but powerful in application. They will hold the car
anywhere.
In Overland cars the transmission is combined with
the rear axle and the drive is in a straight line. Both these
features make for saving of engine power and smooth and
quiet running. ,
Come and take a look at it. Compare it with others.
Take a ride in the big, fully equipped Overland; it involves
no obligation on your part. Then draw your own conclu-i
sions. I hat s all.
