AT ML PLEASANT
The dinner and entertainment given
at the Mount Pleasant school house
Saturday evening by the Parent
Teacher association was a decided
success, both socially and financially.
The dinner was served at 6: SO o'clock,
and the long tables were beautifully
decorated with Jonquils and lauristlna
blossoms, and with the happy faces
seated there and Old Glory artistically
arranged, on the walla made an im
pressive sight.
There were a large number going
from this city to Mount Pleasant on
that evening, well remembering Just
what "spreads" the women of that sec
tion serve. Although the menu was
, somewhat "hooverixed" owing to war
times, the following was most appe
aling: Salad with "hooverized"
dressing; chicken, riced potatoes,
baked beans, war bread, war pudding,
war cake, coffee and tea. There were
135 who were seated at the table dur
ing the evening.
The dinner was followed by the en
tertainment The program consisted
,ot vocal and instrumental selections.
Among those on the program were
Jack Loder, Ralph Guynea, Gordon
Hannaford and Howard Mass, who
form a quartet and sang patriotic se
lections; Mr. McL&ln, of Portland, ac
companied by his daughter. Miss Mil
dred McLaln. There were also selec
tions given on the Victrola, which the
Parent-Teachers association has Just
purchased for the school. Among the
selections given were "When Irish
Eyes Are Smiling," a record presented
on the evening of the entertainment by
Mrs. W. B. Stafford, and sung by John
McCoraack.
The proceeds of the entertainment,
.which amounted to $35. completed the
payment on the Victrola.

affair was composed of Mrs. E. Frey,
Mrs. A. C. Warner. Mrs. VanWey. Mrs.
C Nae-gli. Mrs. O. G. Thomas. Miss

Mr. Warwick Lcamiiiir to Be a King Maker
OREGON CITY, March 27 t Editor
of the Enterprise.) I was very much
surprised to see the communication
In your paper signed by C. L. St.
Clair. The one from Mr. Anderson I
do not wonder at knowing- the In
fluence back of it. A short time ago
I was Informed that certain corpora
tion Influences were going to Ret me.
They have evidently started their
nefarious Hun Work through some
of their paid hirelings. I have throe
nephews in the army and five more to
go; none of them have been slackers,
nor were New Year's presents given
or men hired at $30 per month to try
try to keep them out of the service.
In 1S4S my people were in the
Revolution that attempted to estab
lish a republic in Prussia. They
served time for taking part In the
revolution. Carl Schurtx and many
others who served our country and
were honored by it. were exiled at
th same time for taking part in that
revolution.
On account of existing conditions
In Prussia my father came to this
country in 1863, and within five years
and three months from the time of
his arrival he became a full fledge!
citUen by choice, not by compulsion.
I was born In this country, and
am raising a family of as true Am
erican etttxens, and more, so than
some who are like the scuttle flsh
and spew out filth to hide their dirty
work.
This Is my country and any In
Jury or Insult to the American flag
Is an Insult to me and should be to
every loyal rltlien. Men should show
their loyalty by tholr pocket book as
well as thsir mouth. I am paying 6
percent and 7 per cent Interest on
money but have taken several times
what would be my quota In Govern
ment bonds and Thrift Stamps, and
have never failed to five more than
my portion to any call that has come,
and have always volunteered and
given my time when opportunity was
Riven to assist In evt-ry cause for the
government.
In 1915 I saw the possibilities ' of
a war and Introduced in the Legis
lature and used all my power and
Influence to pass a bill that would
prevent any alien who refused to be
come a cltlten of this country from
owning land. No man. should be. per
mitted to own a foot of soil In this
country unions h la willing to as
sume the duties and responsibilities
of a citizen.
I am of German descent and every
American Is the descendant of some
foreign country. Thousands of Ger
mans and other nationalities came to
this country to get away from the
despotic governments of Europe, be
came cltisens by choice, and are j-.wt
as loyal to their adopted country as
those born here.
It Is very unfortunate that we have
a few, but only a few, who are willing
to act as the tools of corporate greed
to try to destroy men and families
who stand for Justice and a square
deal for the laborer and the common
people. My loyalty to my country has
never been questioned, and this at
tempt 4s made solely by the hire
lings of the corporations who said
they would get me.
Respectfully,
