BENEFIT GIVEN BY YOUNG
FOLKS SUCCESSFUL EVENT
(Contributed)
The "Win the War" benefit given
by the W. R. C. was a complete suc
cess, $110.00 having been realized.
Never has there been a prettier pro
gram staged.
Little Beatrice Price received a
great ovation as she appeared in her
handsome little gowns, which added
great attraction to her beautiful
dancing.
Little Bertelle McBain was hear
tily encored in her flag song and the
little girl looked beautiful in her
white frock. She was encored sev
eral times and appeared last in a
French song. The display of the
lAllied flags was grand and the ef
fect of the waving flags was ideal
istic. May Forbes was unusually sweet
in her little song to "Dickie," also
her esthetic dancing. Little May is
a pupil of Mrs. W. S. Bennett and
her teacher wrote the song for her
and the little bird. Mrs. Bennett al
ways composes the words for the pa
triotic songs the little children sing.
Little William Meisner and Francis
Marie Roberts led the chorus of
Billy Miller and Hazel Jean Wood
ward, Harold Lent and Evelyn
Huerth and Harold Allen and Janice
Hedges. Too much cannot be said of
the two little ones, William Meisner
and Francis Marie Roberta, for their
parts could not have been done bet
ter.
Betty Forbes was beautiful in her
Scotch kilts and never has the High
land Fling been danced so beauti-
fully. Great credit must be given to
the piper, Mr. Drey, from Portland.
Last, but not least, comes our Sex
tette of little girls including May
Tobin, Janice Hedges, Evelyn Huerth,
Helen Woodward, Quevene Alldredge
and Maxine Robey, who did them
selves proud and responded to many
encores.
Now come our boy scouts of whom
we are all proud. Their voices blend
beautifully together, namely Cyril
Justin, Ronald Kellogg and Marvin
Hickman, with Rufus Mallory as the
wounded soldier and Ruth Robinson
as Red Cross Nurse in tableau.
The High School Girls' Quartet ac
usual Were greatly apprecited and re
called many times.
We wish to mention also that Billy
Miller did fine in his French song.
Nellie and Adelle Baron were very
sweet in their little song .
Many beautiful bouquets were
passed over the footlights to the
little folks.
Don't Let It Linger
A cough that follows la grippe or
any other cough that "hangs on"
from winter to spring wears down
the sufferer, leaving him or her in a
weakened state unable to ward off
sickness and disease. Jos. Gillard,
148 Fillmore St., Nashville, Tenn.,
writes: "I was suffering with a dry,
hacking cough and a pain in my
chest, but since taking Foley's Honey
and Tar I have been relieved." It
soothes, heals and cures coughs, colds
and croup. Good for whooping cough.

Meet With Commission
A large delegation from the east
ern part of the county, along with
the county court, went to Portland
Tuesday to confer with the state
highway commission in the interests
of securing the Mount Hood loop
road to go through Estacada and
eastern Clackamas county. Commis
sioner Rufus Hoi man, of Multnomah
county, chairman of the Mount Hood
Loop association, has already asked
the commission to designate the
route as asked by the delegation from
Estacada. It is claimed that it is
the most scenic route possible for
the loop to go, which will run along
the Clackamas river most of the way,
and . will join the north and south
highway at Clackamas station.
Horse Trader Arrested
Charged with issuing bad checks
on the Sellwood bank, M. E. Edwards
was arrested Monday afternoon by
Deputy Hughes here, on complaint of
Sellwood parties. Edwards is a
horse trader, and issued chocks on
the bank at Sellwood without suffic
ient funds to cover them. He was
taken in charge by the Sellwood of
ficers later. ' . i

Highway Engineers Here
State highway engineers were ir
this city Tuesday for the purpose of
chocking up the proposed highway
route between this city and Oswego,
as proposed by County Surveyor
Johnson. The route proposed by Mr.
Johnson is for the highway to run on
a direct route from Oswego toward
the south, and passing the Christie
Orphans' home on the west, and con
necting with the present highway be
low Bolton. This will eliminate sev
eral grade crossings and grades, ac
cording to the surveyor.
Story mid Finnucane Cleared
George Story and William Finnu
cane, arrested some time ago by Fish
Warden Cornell for illegal fishing,
were found not guilty by a jury in
the justice court Thursday afternoon.
They were represented by Attorney
George Brownell. The jury was out
about half an hour, and the trial of
the two young men took up about an
hour and a half. The court room was
crowded with local fishermen and cit
izens who were interested in the case.
Judge Stipp presided.
Files for Probate
Papers were filed Monday by E. D.
Dickson for the administration of the
estate of the late James H. Dickson,

ROBBERS BREAK INTO POST
OFFICE AT GLADSTONE
Stealing a Chevrolet auto from
Wm. Wilson Taggert at McMinnville
early Sunday morning, driving tit a
high rate of speed through Portland
and , arriving in Gladstone and rob.
bing the postoffice at that place, was
the feat of two robbers Sunday.
After robbing the postoffice at
Gladstone, the robbers then drove to
Oswego and robbed the Rosen thader
store at that place, taking several
articles of clothing and a couple of
pairs of shoes. Evidently the men
changed their clothes at the store, as
Sheriff Wilson found their old dis-
carded clothing in the building.
After attempting to make a quick
get-away from Oswego, the two men
evidently hit a large rock with the
automobile, as the machine was found
by the sheriff near Oswego, with the
hood and radiator wrecked, and the
front wheels hanging over a high
embankment.
A clue, which Sheriff Wilson is
now working on in the hopes of trac
ing down the men was furnished by
the conductor on the early morning
electric train out of Oswego, who
claims that the two men got on at
that place for Portland, and that they
were attired in new clothing. He
claimed that they acted suspiciously,
and were, in somewhat of a hurry to
get on the train. One of the men
had on a new pair of tan shoes, and
was noticeable for his big hands
and wrists, were exceedingly large.
The other man was of smaller stature
and also was dressed in new shoes
and tan trousers.
After an investigation Monday
morning of the postoffice at Glad
stone and the store at Oswego, Sher
iff Wilson claims that the robbers
entered both buildings in the same
manner breaking the window above
the lock, and turning the lock around.
Nothing but a few pennies were tak
en from the postoffice, and the safe
was not molested. The owner of the
auto has been notified of the recovery
of his machine.
All France at War.
"If you want to see a whole nation
in arms, go to France," says a hearty,
Bood-looklwr United States soldier
boy Just back from the war front, and
now in a hospital. "It's not just in
the cities. It's In the little country
towns. I've seen old women at work
In the fields, women so feeble that they
had to walk with a cane when they
weren't working. I've seen an old
French mother wheeling fertilizer up
to the top of the hill. She had to do
the work because her men folks were
In the trenches. After every trip up
hill she came tottering down, and you
might have thought she couldn't wheel
another load. She did, though. I tell
you, the spirit of those French people
Is the wonder of this war."
Wher He Stopped.
"Mr. Bllgglns speaks four or five
languages," remarked Miss Cayenne.
"Valuable accomplishment."
"It would be If he could think up
somcthlngworth saying In any one of
them."
A new way to banish moles has
been discovered by Mrs. H. S. Wilson,
of this county, who lives at Glad
stone. She has a fine garden on her
property, and during the past few
weeks has been bothered ' consider
ably with moles digging up the
ground. Her scheme is to pour
about a tablespoonful of gasoline
down the entrance of the mole hole,
and then packing the dirt securely
around the hole. After trying this
method for about a week, there has
been no evidence since of moles oper
ating on the property. Mrs. Wilson
is bqthered with what is called the
"Tomato Flee" and is desirous of
finding out some remedy toward elim
inating he pest. She has tried sev
eral remedies, but to 'no avail.

GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
French City of Montdldier Was of Im
portance In First Millennium of
the Christian Era.
The National Geographic society Is
sues the following war geography bul
letin on Montdldier, a few miles east
of Amiens:
"This little town, whose history
dates back to the first millennium of
the Christian era, had a population
of less than 5,000 at the beginning of
the war, but it was rich In historic
associations. It is said to have de
rived its name from the fact that
DIdler or Deslderlus, the last of Wie
Lombard kings, was Imprisoned here
In 774 by Charlemagne. It will be re
membered that Charlemagne, having
put aside his first wife, Deslderlus'
daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope
Adrian I with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
the Alps, captured the erstwhile fa
ther-in-law's capital city, Tlclnum,
and took the vanquished ruler back
to France, where he died In captivity.
"Montdldier is attractively situated
on an eminence on tile banks of the
river Don. It is the capital of an ar
rondlssement In the department of
the Somme, and Is 62 miles north of
Paris by rail, and 23 miles southeast
of Amiens. Its chief industries be
fore the war were tanneries and the
manufacture of zlnc-whlte.
"When the tides of war finally re
cede It Is probable that the three build
ings in which the citizens of Mont
dldier took the greatest pride will be
crumbling ruins. These are the church
of St. Pierre, which was built before
Columbus set sail on his voyage of
discovery, and which contains a tomb
and font of the eleventh century; the
church of St. Sepulchre, a fifteenth
century edifice, and the Palais de Jus
tice, formerly the city castle. In the
last named building visitors before the
war were shown six unusually hand
some Brussels tapestries of the sev
enteenth century. These were un
doubtedly removed before the Ger
mans entered the city.
"Montdldler's most fumous son was
Parmentler, the scientist, who gave
Impetus to the culture of the potato
In France. A statue erected here com
memorates his gift to the nation.
"For a number of years this little
city was governed by Its own lords,
then passed under the dominion of the
counts of Crepy and Valols. In the
twelfth century It became a posses
sion of the French crown and received
a charter of liberties. In. 1630 it of
fered a gallant and successful resist
ance to the Spanish Invaders."
Avoid Grouch and Live Long.
Writing for the Minneapolis Jour
nal, A. J. R. notes the demise of a Se
attle citizen one hundred and three
years old, and suggests that one of the
reasons why he lived so long was
that he never grouched at the break
fast table or elsewhere. Discussing
this, A. J. R. writes
"The enjoyment of breakfast and
of the sunrlsiS always comes so eas
ily to me that I sometimes wall In
charity for persons who, have been
led to believe, start the generous day
wrong by raising hades at the break
fast table. I will freely wager 75
cents that the Seattle centena
rian who lived to be one hun
dred and three never Insurged at
breakfast, never complained of the
food, nor sneered at his wife's cook
ing." The aged Seattler ascribed his lon
gevity to his own temper; he had not
been angry since he wns twenty, and
had driven a yoke of oxen most of his
life. Also, loved everybody, and every
body loved him. .
Activity on the part of the Coop
erative Home Building association of
Oregon City, which has for its ob
ject furnishing homes to workers at
cost, is on the up grade, and already
over $17,000 has been subscribed by
the business men of the city for the
project. The plan is to build a home
for any worker here, according to his
own plans, and in turn sell him the
home at cost, payments to be made
on the principal like rent. Already
requests have been made to the as
sociation by workers for one of the
homes.

PIONEER OF THIS COUNTY
PASSES AWAY TUESDAY
Alonzo Mosier died at the family
home in this city Tuesday moming

time. Deceased was bora September
28, 1838, in Andrew county, Indiana

ents, Joseph and Isabel Mosier in
1852, the family settling near Silver-
ton. He married Miss Harriett M.
Channes, also a daughter of early
pioneers, in Marion county October
10, 1855. Later, the Mosiers came to

NO GRUMBLING AT PRIVATION
Britishers Willing to Subsist on Short
Rations if That Will Help Win
the War for Liberty.
It really Isn't necessary to tell the
British people not to waste food. There
is nothing eatable left on the average
plate when the meal is finished. Meals
are one interminable round of fish
and eggs, fish and eggs. Eggs are found
disguised under all manner of names,
but always there are eggs, not seven
times a week, but almost 21 times a
week, writes Chester M. Wright, mem
ber of the American Federation of
Labor mission to England.
Meat is rationed by a card system.
So Is sugar, of which you may have
six ounces a week and no more. One
of the best hotels in London is sen
mg butter or margarine only once
dally. Many hotels have none for
days at a time.
Desserts are a thing of the past,
recorded in history but not among
the things extant. Milk Is rationed.
Tea soon will be. Bread' is rationed,
Hotels will serve you with one brown
roll per meal. The average man would
be amazed at the British menu today,
but the British do not grumble. They
go on short rations knowing that it
must be done, and accept it as part
of the war that must be carried vlc-
torywards.
Even if it were possible to break
the food restrictions the average Brit
isher has not the slightest desire to
get more to eat than his neighbors.
Especially among the British workers
is there an obvious grim satisfaction
when members of the American labor
mission and speakers tell how ships
are being rushed to completion In 20
states, and how self-denial by the Brit
ish people in matters of food and luxu
ries make each ton of maximum value
and effect in prosecuting the war to a
finish.
The British workers realize that
more than half their food comes from
the United States.
"The less food the more troops," Is
the slogan which appeals especially to
the Clyde ship builders, one of whom
said: "If ships from the United
States are laden as far as possible with
soldiers and ammunition, then every
bolt we drive is as good as a rifle shot
against the Germans."
War of the Roses.
The war of the roses that never ends
is a war to vanquish beauty with
greater beauty. For long ages, since
history began, this has been going on.
Japan and India, Serbia and Persia
cheered on contestants a dozen centu
ries before Damascus gave to the Cru
saders the damask rose for occidental
culture. "Decisions" have only tem
porary significance. For example, as
Paris gave Venus the award of beauty,
his namesake city gives southern Cali
fornia the gold medal, the prize of
honor at the Bagatelle competition.
But California must meet world com
petition In years to come and must
maintain her form or get out of the
running. Rose culture is a progressive
art.
As for the Germans, we believe they
were not represented at Bagatelle.
That does not matter much. In this,
as in their science, the Teutons are
rather imitators than orlglnafors. True
their Duchess de Mecklenburg, their
Cornelia Koch, their Felenberg and
particularly their Princess de Sagan,
with Its rich maroon and crimson love
liness, have attracted English atten
tion. But these are all modifications
of French types, as the Kronprlnzes
sin Victoria Is a modification of the
Bourbon rose. Brooklyn Eagle.
Somebody Must Have Told Him.

his questionnaire that his allowance
to his wife was $100 a month.

BALANCE IS DUE ON HOME
CLAIMED BY CONTRACTOR
A. J. Brugger filed suit Saturday
against W. L. and Olive Brugger to
collect a balance alleged due him
from the defendants for building a
house for them. He alleges in his
complaint that he entered into an
agreement with them to build
home on their property for the sum
of $4,225.00. the defendants to have
the privilege of changing the origin-
al plans of the residence, and pay
for the extra cost of said changes
He claims that the defendants made
many changes in the original plans,
and that he was unable to complete
the house in the stipulated time on
account of the changes. His bill
came to $5,422.85, and he alleges
that only $4,267.50 has been paid on
same, leaving a balance of $1155.35,
which he asks the court to allow him
from the defendants and six per cent
interest from November 26, 1918, and
also attorney's fees in the case.
REPUBLICANS ATTEMPT TO
DISCREDIT LEAGUE NATIONS
On the eve of an extraordinary ses
sion of Congress, Republican reac
tionaries in the Senate, headed by
Senators Lodge, Penrose and Brande-
gee, are continuing their efforts to
discredit, if not to defeat, the league
of nations in the hope of embarassing
President Wilson. Their attempas
will disclose their animus and their
designs, but it is not believed that
they will succeed in mustering enough
following to prevent ratification of
the treaty of peace and acceptance
of the covenant.
The extent to which these partisan
enemies of the president are willing
to carry their hostility is illustrated
by the compact outlined in an inform
al statement from the officer of Sen
ator McCormick, of Illinois. This
contemplates the abandonment of the
fight made by "Progressives" against
the selection of Senator Penrose as
chairman of the finance committee in
return for important concessions to
their group.
Recounting the term of this agree
ment between the cats and th mice
for the supposed advantage of the
latter the Washington Post an
nounces that Senator Penrose "will
go before the Senate as the choice of
a majority of the Republican caucus
and no attempt will be made to pre
vent his election.
What prompted this arrangement
is explained in another paragraph of
the Post's article.
"The reason for the subsidence of
the Penrose fight," continues the
Post's account, "is that more impor
tant issues have arisen to submerge
the opposition to his attaining the
chairmanship. Foremost among these
is the control of the Foreign Rela
tions committee. All of the Republi
can senators regard the personnel of
this committee as of the highest Jm
portance, and those senators who are
leading the fight against the League
of Nations are particularly desirous
that the committee shall be arranged
to suit them."
Senator Borah quickly disclaimed
partnership in this cabal.
"If any such agreement has been
concluded I was not consulted," he
declared in a statement to the repre
sentative of a New York newspaper.
"I have not become a party to if. The
situation regarding Penrose, from
my viewpoint, is just what it has
been heretofore."
Notwithstanding, this denial on the
part of Senator Borah, two facts are
pretty thoroughly thoroughly estab
lished. The first is that the attack
which "Progressives" began on Sena
tor Penrose is no longer action but
merely attitude. The other . fact is
that there will be an endeavor among
the reactionaries L o d g e, Penrose,
Brandegee et al. to constitute the
Republican membership of the For
eign Relations committee so as to fill
it with enemies of the league of na
tions. Precedents and publicity
may make the success of this under
taking very difficult if not impossible,
uui it is plainly on iub program
this moment.
Senator Brandegee seems to have
been delegated to prepare the public
mind for some such enterprise as 'the
"gentlemen's agreement" between the
"standpatters" and the "Progres
sives" proposes. In a public state
ment Senator Brandegee gives a hint
of the course to be taken by him and
his associate "robins."
"Unless the Senate is free to con
sider the Root amendments" (to the
covenant of the league., "and others
unembarassed by executive pressure
or by popular clamor," he declared,
"the people of the United States will
be deprived of the protection of their
own constitutional safeguards and
may become committed without ade
quate understanding to a serious in
ternational experiment from the re
sults of which they have little to
gain."
This utterance gives what appears
to be a clue to the intentions of Sen
ators Lodge, Penrose, Brandegee and
the other "robins" who are for the
time being steadfast to their first
pledges of opposition to a league of
nations. It is taken to mean that
these leaders will .attempt to amend
the covenant and, failing that, then
to commit the Senate to a resolution
putting their own gloss on its langu
age or expressing dissent from some
of its provisions.
Amendment of the league would be
almost tantamount to its rejection,
and it is beyond belief that a major
ity of the Senate can be induced to
take that action. ' Two other maneu-
cers remain. Une of these is to offer
a resolution designed to "save excep
tions," make reservations or impose
limitations. That scheme might
serve as a relief to partisan feelings,
but it could have no force or effect
in the operation of the league. A
third path is open to the remnants of
the "robins," but it is unlikely that
more than a handful of them will be
willing to tread that. This is to vote
against ratification of the treaty and
acceptance of the covenant.
The terms of the treaty with Ger
many are hailed everywhere as strong

Such annoying symptons as heat
flashes, nervousnsss, backache, head
ache, irritability and "the blues," may
be speedily overcome and the system
restored to normal conditions by this
famous root and herb remedy Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

but equitable. The United States,
though neither claiming nor receiv
ing indemnities, obtains the greater
share in the victory the credit and
prestige which comes to this country
as the original proponent and final
orchitect of the league of nations.
Defeat of the treaty would undo
the just peace concluded at Paris.
Rejection of the league would with
draw the guarantees against future
wars. Only Germany and her allies
could profit by nullifying the work
of the conference. The Republican
party couldf scarcely gain from such
an outcome. The whole world would
be the loser.
There is little time for the Repub
licans to adjust their differences and
formulate thelir strategy before Con
gress convenes. If they continue
their fractional bickerings it must be
in the open after the session begins.
There will be little hope of compro
mise after that. New causes of dis
sension will be presented in the leg
islation which will come before them.
They must enact some or all of the

A large gathering of farmers met
last Wednesday at Oak Lawn, in the
southern part" of Clackamas county
for an all day meeting. A progVam
was given by the pupils of the school
there, after which the meeting was
taken over by the Farm Bureau com
mittee.
The first talk was on silos and en
silage, by R. G. Scott, county agent.
This was followed by a paper on hog
raising by John Linehart. Miss Ma
rie Anthony, home demonstration
agent for the county, spoke on the
care and use of dairy products. The
subject, "Farm Machinery," was
handled by W. H. Livingstone. Mrs.
Hastie gave a good address on the
school teachers' relation to the farm.
The subject at the meeting, which
brought out the most discussion, was
that of "Feeding the Dairy Cow" for
the Most Profit." Mr. N. H. Smith
handled the subject in a very capable
manner, and showed from his own
figures of cost and production that
there is more money in dairying to
day from good cows, than there was
in 1915 in spite of the present high
cost of feed.
After the meeting a picnic lunch
was served, and there was a splen
did display of talent by the young
folks in music and recitations.
One of the most interesting feat
ures of the day was the testing of
milk by the Babcock Teser by Miss
bnedecker, county club leader.
