Tho coming winter throws no such dark shadow before as was feared a few weeks ago, and tho statement is beginning to be heard here and there THAT OOODS CANNOT BE DELIVERED AS PROMPTLY AS THEY ARE WANTED BECAUSE THE FACTORIES ARE TOO BUSY. The world abroad, both that part of it which is in arms and tht which is at peaco,, is turning toward America for a large portion of it-a supplies, and the phrase, "Ruy it in America," has come to have a potency that has hitherto been lacking. The improvement in conditions, however, is not wholly due to the war. Great and growing as our exports are, they form but a small por tion of all of tho total business that is going on and which is constantly increasing A KNOWLEDGE THAT PRODUCTS CAN BE SOLD, THE CERTAINTY THAT MONEY CAN BE HAD TO FINANCE BUSINESS AND ENTERPRISES THESE AND FACTS LIKE THESE HAVE BROUGHT FRESH CONFIDENCE INTO OUR DOMESTIC MARKETS AT THE 8AME TIME THAT FOREIGN BUYERS HAVE ENTERED THEM.

SULLIVAN IS HEAD OF BODY Country Districts aa Well aa City Will be Asked to Help County Judge Anderson Will Co-operate Some of tho threo millions of starving people In far off Helglum will be savod through the efforts of the big-hearted residents of Clackamas county, for a fully organized movement was started Monday night at the Commercial club to raise at least $1000 In this section nnd to use tho money to purchase a carload of flour to be shipped as Clack amas county's part of tho shipload of non-perlshnblo supplies that Is to be sent from Oregon and Washington next January. This inonoy was pur chase 200 bnrrols of flour, which will bo marked as Clackamas county's gift. The general committee named by T. W. Sullivan, president of the Com mercial club, held a two hours' session and discussed tho needs of the Ilel glans and the best method of pro ceedure. Permanent organization was effected by the oloctlon of Mr. Sulli van as chairman; W. P. Hawley, vice chairman; E. Kenneth Stanton, secre tary and J. E. Hedges, treasurer. The city was divided Into districts nnd plans were lnid for soliciting funds, with which to purchase flour, and re ports were received. Mr. Hawley has already contributed $100 personally, tho Hawley Pulp & Paper Co. has giv en another $100 and the employes of that concern hnve subscribed more than $100, and will probably give still more. Not only will the people of Oregon City be asked to give freely, but tho residents of the country districts will be requested to contribute. Last week a mooting was held at the sehoolhouse at Stone and $55 was raised In an evening. Judge Ander son, of tho county court, will cooper ate with the committee In securing funds from the farmers and people liv ing In the smaller towns. While most of the contributions will be in money, nothing will be refused, and any mer chandise received by the committee, other than flour, will be sold and the proceeds expended for that staple. Free transportation of merchandise for the relief of the Belgians will be pro vided up to January 1 by the railroads and steamer lines. The efforts of Mr. Hawley will bo seconded by other large manufacturing concerns here and it Is expected that $1000 will be raised easily, and the committee does not propose to stop at that amount If It la possible to obtain more. Every dollar of the money raised In Oregon and Washington for supplies to load the ship will be used In the purchase of supplies, and not a cent will be expended for Incidentals.

T TR COUNTY TAKES DEFINITE STEPS . TO PROTECT ROADS FROM HEAVY AUTOMOBILES SPEED LIMIT IS 8 MILES AN Movement Fostered by Live Wires Has Successful Termination Three ' Tons Is Heaviest Load Allowed In order to protect the roads be tween Oregon City and Portland, the county court has Issued the following regulations which will be posted along the highways: "The weight of loads hauled over roads in Clackamas county are hereby limited as follows: Vehicles having tires not more than two Inches In width, one ton; vehicles having tires not more than three Inches in width, two tons; no motor truck or other ve hicle shall carry a load exceeding three tons In weight or be driven at a speed to exceed eight miles an hour."

Tho resignation, which was accepted, came as a complete aurpriao to tho vestry men. Rev Robinson will go to New York city where be will taks a post gradu ate course In sociology In Columbia college preparatory to work among the poor. The course will cover a per- lod of two years. The resignation will go Into effort January 17. No attempt will be mada by the vestry to aocure a pastor lo succeed Rev. Robinson until after tha arrival of Bishop Sumner from Chi cago early In the month. Rev. Robinson baa taken a promi nent part In the diocese and In charity work In Oregon City.

Rev. Robinson came to Oregon City from Philadelphia. While In the east he took an active Interest In work among the unfortunate and waa known for his tireless energy In work for the poor. ' Rev. Robinson's letter of reglsnatlon follows: "Please accept this as my formal resignation of the rectorship of St Paul's parish to take effect the even ing of tha second Sunday after Epi phany, January 17th, 1915. "After long and prayerful consider ation, I feel that my future ministry, however few or many years God may continue my earthy commission, will be more useful If I go to school again. This Is, I know, a bold or at least a radical step. "In this age of rapid transition even a few years leave one. In spite of close" reading, with inefficient or at best In different methods of using the glori ous, ancient, yet ever new truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our own seminaries, so lovingly nd admirably equipped for the com forting application of the gospel to the Individual repentant sinner, are as some feel, teaching their students . to speak to the masses of struggling people in an unknown tongue. I be lieve I am but one of many priests of the church who feel a woeful lack of training In the application of the old theology chiefly to tha needs of tha poor in our generation because wo are lamentably Ignorant of those needs. "I go therefore to learn them. I am leaving you to join one of onr most representative universities, Colum bia, In America's city of greatest wealth and great poverty. I expect for a year or two, God willing, to take post 'graduate work, and at the same time among the slums and the down trodden, to observe and help make In whatever little way God may allow me, the message of the gospel a living rawer among those whom Jesus camv. to seek and comfort. , "1 assure you. my dear brothers of the vestry, It is the stern call of duty impels me to do this. To leave the people I have learned to love and who have been ever kind to me, to leave the many friends not connected with the parish, to leave your beautiful city so abundantly blessed by nature, to go ' to the artificial surroundings Imposed upon our poorer brethren by today's cruel Industrial system, is hard, but the call of duty Is Inspiring. "The haunts of ignorant and sinful men and women are to tho Christian priest who goes among them to help them, more alluring than the flowing of rivers and the slrrging of birds. "Four years this coming festival sea-" son of the Nativity of Him who was born poor for the poor. I came among you. I go away carylng with me a heart full of loving memories, and I hope eternal friendships. I feel sure your prayers will follow me In this my new venture for Christ and His brethren. Particularly do I regret leaving you at just this time when our new bishop begins here his final work for God. I should like the privilege of serving under him whom you will soon learn to love and who, through the grace of Christ, will do great things for the people of the Pacific northwest and especially for the Dio cese of Oregon. "I beg urgently that you will accept this as a final resignation. "With all blessing, affectionately your pastor, "CHARLES WELLINGTON ROBINSON." STOP THE CHILD'S COLDS THEY OFTEN RESULT SERIOUSLY.
