"Flag of the free heart's hope and
home!
By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's .soil beneath our feet.
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."

A MORAL CLEAJN lit
Another chapter has been written in the history oi
the Oak Grove dance pavilion as, a result of booze partici
pation in the luxurious "hop" entertainment at the place
on iSaturday night last. One poor drunk was put in jail
drunker than other drunks and though not now drunk
he still lingers behind the bars in the cool basement of the
county's bastile awaiting trial for drunk and disorderly
while drunk.
in the meantime, the proprietors of this resort a
man and a woman are also awaiting trial on a charge
of running dance without license from the county court.,
defying these officials and claiming immunity from coun
ty jurisdiction through a state corporation permit. An
other arrest for drunk and disorderly was made here re
cently. These individuals propose to run this place without
respect to the moral or decency rights of the community
and its high time it was determined whether they or the
county is in authority.
The 'moral law abiding element of Clackamas county
should and it is expected will commend and support the
sheriff, the court and prosecution in trying to purge the
county of this moral leper. Of itself it will not change its
spots.

A COMMENDABLE SPIRIT
A teacher who picks the smallest
community she can get, such an an
omaly is Miss Margaret V. Thomas,
now la student of the University of
Oregon summer session. Miss Thomas
never tries for a big school; she sel
ects the smaller places from choice,
realizing an oppprtunity to do a great
deal besides simply teach the school
subjects. .
Miss Thomas's outfit includes terop
ticon slides and a carbide generator,
and an occasional motion-picture film
is shown. '
"We produce the 'movies' ' in the
darkened schoolhotise", Miss Thomas
explains, "and a victrola plays between
the pictures while we ventilate the
room. The children are eager to help.
They are happy to ;be allowed to run
the victrola or even open the win
dows."
Not only does Miss Thomas take the
slides to those people who are far
from cities and towns of any size, but
after making them interested in doing
things on a community scale she or
ganizes children and adults into
groups and manages basket socials,
picnics, plays, all with the intention of
helping them raise the funds which
enable them to bring in slides more
often. -
"They are so responsive," she said.
"If you love them and do things for
them, they will love you almost to
death. And those children are not 'fed
up', on. -city movies; they get a good
deal out of the university films.
"The people in the small settlements
are pioneers ; their children are the
children of nioneers, and are the fin
est in the country. - They deserve the
! best the state has to offer,"
i
Miss Thomas has used the industrial
films Imost, also the geoghaphic and
historical. Her whole aim is to stim
' ulate community life in the smallest
1 places and to add to the sum total of
happiness. She taught last year, at
Heceta, a lonely spot on the Oregon
cost, and next year she will be near
Reedsport.

HELP SAVE THE DAIRIES
ONE WAY TO LESSEE CitOlE
Strenuous effort is put forth by the dairying interests
of the country to prohibit the shipment of skim milk com
pounds through interstate commerce on the basis that they
are "adulterated and deleterous articles of food. Con
gress has been asked to pass such bill.
Labels on the containers proclaim it unfit for infant
foods, but of real value in bakery products.
The matter resolves itself into a contest for and
against the dairies which are now becoming fewer every
year as a result of many causes substitutes for dairy
products, high cost of feed and shortage of help on farms
and dairies.
The dairy industry should be encouraged and one and
the most effective way is by discouraging substitutes anfi
the so called skim milk compounds consisting of skim
milk and cocoanut oil is one of them. Write your con

There can be no doubt that the species of crime men

general wish-washy attitude of the courts, of times abetted

they defy the law are beginning to sit up and take notice.

It has been proved that as much as 20 of the
power delivered to the driving wheels may be
lost through friction, due to the use of an incor
rect oil. '
This friction may be of two kinds the friction
of metal on metal, due to the failure of the oil
to preserve a lubricating film between the bear
ing surfaces, or the. friction of oil on oil the
internal, molecular friction of the lubricant.
Too heavy an oil, or an oil lacking in "oiliness"
the quality that makes it cling to the bearings
while at the same time offering a minimum of
internal or fluid friction constitutes a direct
drain on the available horsepower of your
"motor.
The right body at all operating temperatures
Made from carefully selected crudes and scientifically
refined by our patented high-vacuum process, Zerolene
has great "oiliness." It clings to bearing surfaces, while
offering in itself a minimum of frictional resistance to
the engine power.
Zerolene maintains the right lubricating body under all
conditions. As the engine gets hot, bearing clearances
decrease. Analysis of Zerolene shows that the variations
in its body, at the various engine temperatures, follow in
close relation the decrease in bearing clearances.
Because of their "oiliness," stability and purity, Zero-
lene oils give perfect lubrication and help to develop the
maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage of the car.

Toronto Man's Remarkable PredTo
tion of Wireless Telephony Made
Many Years Ago.
A remarkable imaginative predic
tion of wireless telephony was made
by Grant Balfour (J. M. Grant) of To
ronto In a trlologue which appeared
in an English magazine in 1889, and
was afterward reproduced in a pam
phlet entitled "Bahrak-Kohl," two
Hebrew- words,' meaning the voice of
the lightning. The characters of this
little treatise were represented as in
the neighborhood of the Jordan.

dle," says the narrative, "a small in
strument resembling a trumpet for the
deaf. Coming down to Mohammed, he
asked him1 to turn his right side to
ward the southland, to put the broad
end of the instrument to his right ear.
The prophet then inquired where his
home was. -
" 'My home,' replied Mohammed, 'Is
in the extreme south of Arabia, 1,400
miles away.'
" 'Listen now,' said the prophet ;
'dos't thou hear the sound of waves?'
"I do," replied the sheik, 'Where
may they be?'
" 'These waves,' answered the proph
et, 'are ttie waves of the Indian
ocean breaking upon the Arabian
shore.' " '
Further describing the instrument,
the prophet said: "The thing before
thee- is but a rude pattern in part of
the coming needed device of man. No
such device is required by a prophet
of the Lord to entrust the lightning
with a message. The prophet speaks,
nay, he needs but to will, and it Is
done." Toronto Globe.
HAS BIG LEAD IN VOLCANOES
United States Can "Boast" of More
Than a Quarter of Those
Known to Be Active.
Uncle Sam owns more than a quar
ter of the active volcanoes of the,
world, the report that two more have
been born in Alaska making the grand
total 106.
There are 64 smoking peaks in
Alaska and the Aleutian islands and
many more in western United States,
Hawaii and the Philippines. It is
likely, however, if many of the .so
called vents of the Mount Katmai
region of Alaska would be classed as
volcanoes this country could boast of
the majority of the old earth's skin
troubles an unenviable record.
There are 417 active volcanoes on
the globe that have been located to
date.
There are numerous peaks in the
Philippine islands not sufficiently well
known to establish whether they are
volcanoes or smoke pots or vents. In
Alaska there are hundreds of vents
from which cpnstantiy issue steam and"
smoke, but which are not called vol
canoes. - An occasional volcano bursts forth
from the sea near the Aleutian inlands,
bat finally succumbs tg the flood of sea

Makes Comforts Clean and
Keeps Them Fluffy
The big problem in- laundering- "omforts is not the washing of
them, but the drying of them.
It is no easy matter to force the thick, dripping mass through
a wringer, and drying the comfort by hand is even a harder
task.
But the Laun-DryEtte makes this work easy. It washes the
comfort for you, and then dries it And the beauty of the
Laun-Dry-Ett Way is that the comfort is not flattened out by a
wringer but comes out of the Laund-Dry-Ette clean and fluffy,
and dry for the line.
The LAUN-DRY-ETTE rKl5""
does your hardest task for you. It not only washes the heavy
pieces, but dries them, too.
