FRONT IN FRANCE

Fathers and mothers with service.
star emblems pinned to their breasts
and coat lapels predominated in the
crowd which assembled at the Liberty
Temple last night to hear the story
brought back from France by Major
William R. Logus, who has been with
the Oregon troops over there for the
past several months. The Major
spoke under the auspices of the local
lodge of Elks, of which he is a past
exalted ruler, and the tttalk was a
recital of personal narratives, told in
answer to the hundreds of requests
from relatives of soldiers. While in
France Major Logus was a captahrof
a company in which many Oregon
City boys are enlisted, and it has
been since his return to this country
a few weeks ago that he received his
promotion to a majorshjp.
The main stress of the speaker's
talk was laid upon the necessity of
the home folk's support of the Liberty
Loan, the war savings stamp drive
and the various auxiliary units, such
as the Y. M. C. A., the Red Cross, the
Salvation Army, the Knights of
Columbus, and others. He urged that
everyone do their utmost to keep
these organizations in the field, and
recounted personal experiences tend
ing to show the value of the work to
the American soldier. He said that
the boys over there took a keen in
terest in the way the folks at home
put over, the various drives, and after
the second Liberty Loan he said that
a member of the 162nd regiment
could be spotted anywhere by the
swell of his chest, when the report
reached t rahce that Portland, and
Oregon, were the first over the top
Mail day in France, with all its
atendant joys or heart-aches, was
graphically described by the speaker,
and the people urged to keep up a
steady stream of optimistic, newsy
leters, lor their boys at the front,
No other agency, said Major Logus,
is quite so influential m keeping up
the splendid morale of the fighters
as a good letter from the folks at
home. He told, in answer to num
erous requests, of the meals served
the boys, and laid special stress on
the fact that they were being well
cared for. The food, he said, was of
excellent quality, and plentiful. He
said that he didn t know what sub
stitute flour in bread tasted like until
he landed back in this country. He
also touched on the morals of the boys
abroad, and said that a mother or a
father here had no need to worry over
the thought that their sons might
become corrupted in the land of wine.
Drunkeness is not tolerated under
General Pershing, he said, and the
discipline so strict, and the soldier'g
life so regular, that very little op
portunity of straying from a straight
and narrow way was presented .He
set at full rest the fears held by
many of his listners that their sons
or brothers or sweet-hearts might be
forming evil habits while serving in
the army.
One of the most enjoyable parts of
the major's story, was wherehe men
tioned the names of several well
known Oregon City boys, whom he
had talked with just previous to leav
ing France. He told of how they
were looking, what they did for
amusement, and how tney were get
ting along in general. After the
speaking, hundreds of people crowded
adound to shake hands with the
speaker and to express their apprecia
tion' of his talk. Questions by the
dozen were hurled at him by anxious
relatives, and for all he had an en
couraging word. One delightfully
bashful young lady was heard to say
she would like to kiss the speaker,
and she was led unresistingly for
ward for the ceremony, which was
gone through with to the accompani
ment of hearty applause from the on
lookers. Major Logus leaves tonight
for Camp Lewis, where he has been
assigned to duty as brigadier-adjutant.
He was the guest of honor, after
the speaking last night, at the Elks
Temple, where his fellow lodgemen
entertained him in royal manner.

COUNTY WAR FUND
PLAN PROGRESSING
LOYALTY LEAGUE TO PUT OVER
SALVATION ARMY DRIVE.
IN NEW SCHEME
The American Loyalty League Is
completing arrangments for the Salva
tion Army war fund drive, which will
be held here under their auspices dur
ing the month. The county quota is
$1540, and the campaign will be
handled through the channels of the
League's "war fund." This fund is
made up of contributions from the res
idents of the county, and is for the
purpose of providing money for the
various authorized; charitable drives
scheduled for the coming few months.
It is expected that several thousand
dollars will be secured, and. placed In a
bank, subject to check of the league,
and payable to the drives as they
come. This will save a great loss of
time, and expense, in campaigning, as
the fundus will be secured in one drive,
and the necessity of working at high
pressure to get "over the top" will be
eliminated.
During the coming week there are a
number or organization meetings sched
uled for over the county. Friday night
there will be a meeting of the Willam
ette chapter ,and the same evening F.
J. Tooze will, speak at Shubel and R.
G. Scott will address the chapter meet
ing at Rock Creek. On Saturday there
will be a meeting at Mount Pleasant,
with Walter Dimlck as the speaker,
and Jones Mill with J. B. Calavan on
the program.

TO BE
AT
LOYALTY LEAGUE DAY WILL
BE THURSDAY WITH GOOD
PROGRAM ON
PARADE WILL BE FEATURE
Walter A. Pierce, Democratic Candi
date for Governor, Will Also
Make an Address
The American Loyalty league,
through the executive committee of
the chapter, has just arranged for a
special day at the Clackamas county
fair, which will be held at Canby from
the 17th to the 20th, of this month.
The fair board is working in hearty co
operation with the league, and are pro
viding some excellent features for the
day. Thursday, the 19th, has been se
lected, by the board for the Loyalty
league activities, andj they have ar
ranged for the two gubernatorial can
didates, Governor James Withycombe
and Walter A. Pierce, to address the
huge crowds' that are expected.
The speakers will talk along patri
otic lines, aud will make special treat
ment of the American Loyalty league
and Its activities, and the necessity of
such work as it has been doing. The
importance of back-line support of the
war program by those who stay at
home is. being impressed more and
more on the people, and in the league
they have an organization formed for
the purpose of taking care of the local
situations. In the county there is an
intense Interest manifest in the work,
and there have been established over
sixty chapters in as many school dis
tricts of the county.
At the special day at the fair, it Is ex
pected that a good per centage of the
eleven thousand members in Clacka
mas county will be In attendance, and
a premium will be awarded to the local
chapter having the most members in
the line of parade, which will be one
of the features of the day's activities.
The prize will be a large American
flag, suitable to decorate the winning
chapter's hall.
The publicity department of the
county chapter is working hard to se
cure a large attendance on Thursday
at the fair, and all local chapters are
urged to have as many members as
possible in the parade. A special ef
fort should be made by the organiza
tions to make a good showing, as the
premium offered is well worth the ef
fort. Besides the special Loyalty Day
events, the regular fair program will
be given, and this year the exhibits
and demonstrations are said to be ex
ceptionally good. The fair board has
been working overtime lately getting
things lined up for the annual affair,
and all indications are that the 1918
show will far outclass any previous ef
forts. The horticulture and agriculture
exhibits are in good shape, and a great
display of livestock will be on hand for
the fair visitor.

SILOS TO CONSERVE FEED
ARE PROVING SUCCESSFUL
Now that the high coBt of feed is
making most farmers squirm, one's
thoughts naturally turn toward home
grown feeds and a silo. Over in the
Logan country, on N. H. Smith's place,
there is a silo which has cost under $70,
for the materials. It is 12 feet by 24
feet and while it is not yet finished, it
will hold all the corn this year. It Is
built of studding set In concrete, with
six inch boards half an inch thick nail
ed on the inside in two layers with
roofing paper between. Though Mr.
Smith did not get his idea from the
Oregon Agricultural college bulletin on
silos, it is very much like the one
which the college is recommending. It
will pay anyone interested in silos to
go and see it. There are bulletins at
the County Agents office giving full
directions for the construction of this
and other silos.

the manufacture of the flour and its
distribution throughout the entire
country. Baker's bread will also con

ACTION ON WORK
APPOINT ELECTION OFFICERS
Templeton Points Out Police Delinquencies-Council
Will Take
in Ship Launching
Preliminary action on improvement
work for the Singer Hill the main
thoroughfare connecting the lower
portion of the city with the hill sec
tion was taken at the regular ses
sion of the city council last night.
Councilman Templeton brought the
matter up and urged that it be hard
surfaced immediately, but it was re
ferred to the street commissioner
with instructions to prepare estimates
as to the costs, and to present them
at a speccial meeting, to be held next
Monday night. The idea is to pave
the hill from the intersection of
Seventh and Center streets to the
foot, at Tenth street, which would
connect the hard-surfaced streets of
the main part of town with the newly
laid Richmondite, which now extends
on upper Seventh from Center to
John Q. Adams street.
The session last night was a short
one, in honor of Major William R.
Logus, who made a public address at
the Liberty Temple afterward. The
matter of appointing judges and
clerks for the special election of Sep
tember 24th was taken up, and the
following selected: First Ward,
Judges, Ed Johnson, John Bittner and
Mrs. Rosina Evans; Clerks, Mrs. Joe
Beaulieu and Mrs. William Howell,
Jr. Second Ward Judges,W. C.
Green, Sol Walker and C. W. Kelley;
Clerks, Mrs. Nan Chapman and Mrs.
David Caufield. Third Ward Judges,
Mr. McClelland, E. P. Elliott and
Mrs. John Green; Clerks, Mrs. N. M.
Alldredge and Mrs. Quinn. The spec
ial election is for the purpose of hav
ing the people vote on special charter
amendments.
Councilman Templeton brought up
several minor matters, which were
referred to the respective departments
of the municilality for action. He
urged that the police force take a
firmer stand in the matter of allowing
cut-outs on motorcycles and auto
mobiles to be used on the streets, and .
also asked that they insist on proper
lights on machines after night. He
mentioned the discomfort caused
pedestrains by the low hanging awn
ings in the city, and asked that action
be taken to have them raised to a
point where an ordinaryly tall man
could pass underneath without crack
ing his cere-bellum.
Councilman Bridges, on behalf of
the Foundation Shipyards in Portland,
tendered an invitation to the city offi
