Local Soldiers May , Attend Ceremonial The local post of t"ie American Le gion is attempting to get in touch -with all holders of the "Medal of Honor" fromthe recent war. Ad invitation has been extended to all of these men to attend the ceremonies attendant upon the burial of the unknown Amer ican who was a member of the A. E. F. and lost his life in one of the im portant overseas engagements. The ceremonial, whic i is to com memorate the sacrifices of all of the men who participated in Uie world conflict, will be attended by all of the prominent figures of the nation. The government has made arrangements to pay the expenses of all medal or honor men, and provide them betel accommodations at the national capl- Men in Clackamas county who are ''holders of this distinction have been asked to communicate with Julius Spagle, secretary of Willamette Fans post This method of ascertaining the medal holders throughout the coun try lias been taken in order to obviate Ihe necessity of checking over the names of all" of the men in the na tional service. Local High School To Enter in Debate Popularizing Products During the war the United States government felt the need of securing more meat to ship to Europe. It was seen that the abundant supply of fish along our vast coast line might well serve as a substitute for a lot of the meat previously used. Consequently the administration used a great deal of publicity matter about fish foods, and it did succeed in persuading the people to eat a much larger proportion of fish products. When the . war stopped, the government ceased that form of propaganda.. As a result there has been a decline in the use of fish". This is an illustration of what will happen when any useful product is advertised, and what happens when the advertising stops. The American Farm Bureau federation is going to direct .during the next three months a campaign to in crease the consumption of milk. It can be safely pre dicted that this effort will greatly enlarge the demand for the product of the cow. If the government can sell more fish to the people as a result of the patriotic motive, a provision dealer can sell more canned and fresh fish to his home town by showing them that fish products are wholesome, nutri tious, and relatively inexpensive. t If the farm bureau can promote the use of ,milk by advertising, any mer chant in Oregon City can increase the sale of any article in his line by advertising it and giving good reasons why the public should use it. Frequently it does not take much argument to sell goods by advertising. If you have ,some good product, t and if you tell the public about it, "just bringing it to their 1 attention reminds them that they would like something, along that line, when without the reminder they would buy something else. But of course if you remind them of the line of merchandise, and give good reasons why it pays to use it, then the propaganda will secure doubly effective results. A Work-a-Day Pipe Not mine to stretch poetic wings And soar 'mid ethereal things With head lost in the sky! Nay, but wjth heart and harp atuue To catch the rich and rythmic rune In lowly life wait I. Of course, not saying but I could Scale Mount Olympus if I would, And on the heights be found. What do such frenzied flights avail? Tis pleasant in the'frendly dale With feet firm on the ground. Tis fine to cook a wholesome meat. A glowing thrill of joy I feel . To see my family eat 'it. 'Tis sweet to tuck my Babes in bed And cuddle each small, towsled head For bliss you cannot beat it! Aspasia, with her lusrious lyre. May draw from heaven her mystic fire But earth can also give it. And those whose tuneful nights and days , Find poesy in common ways Not only Sing but LIVE it. OPEN DOORS IN BUSINESS A La Carte The Oregon City high school will enroll in the state debating league, which is being organized for this year's forensic contests by the ex tension division of the University of Onegon No announcement- of the schedule or the subject has been made as yet, but the students are already considering trying out for the local team. t A new cup has been offered this year by Professor E. E. DeCou of the university, one of the founders of the league, and the school to win three times becomes permanent possessor. Last year there were eighty high schools in competition for the Uni versity of Oregon cup offered by Pro fessor DeCou. Salem high school which already had won the cup twice, took first place and now has perma nent possession. The schools are divided into twelve districts and district debates will take . place in March and the chain pionships will follow. Last year the finals were held at the university at the time of junior week-end.

Sales Expert Speaks at Large Gathering at Luncheon On Tuesday THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY Taken from the Oregon City Enter prise October 16, 1891. The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. U. Andrews of this city was brightened recently by the advent of a baby boy. Mrs. M. M. Charman and her mother, Mrs. Dillard. who hpve .been visiting in Seattle, have returned to Oregon City. Mrs. A. E. K'ing, of Ilwaeo, is visit ing her mother. Mrs. Arthur Warner, of Mount Pleasant. A capacity attendance marked the Live Wire luncheon Tuesday noon when George M. Wessells, salesj anJ service expert from, the Joe Angeles board of education spoke to the mem bers of the commercial club and to merchants and their clerks who were present by invitation of the Wires. Problems of salesmanship, wrong methods, tactful approaches, and the hackneyed phrases used by salesper sons generally were all analyzed by the speaker, who had charts to illus trate his talk. The result of many months practical research in a vari ety of retail establishments was pre sented in a graphic manner, the law of averages being used in many in stances to show the similarity of methods used in selling goods. The regular business meeting of the Live Wires preceded the sales talk. Willard P. Hawley, Jr., chairman cf the municipal band committee report ed that the matter was being taken up with the business men's associa- j tion for permission to solicit funds. ! Two resolutions, bearing on tb; road bond issue problem, were pre sented and adopted. The matter ct the action of the Pomona grange in holding their proposed recall of the bond issue in abeyance was explained by Chris Schuebel, who sugge&ted that the various granges of the county be communicated with and told the sta tus of the Live Wires in the move ment. Following the adoption of the resolutions, Main Trunk Jones ap pointed M. D. Latourette, O. D. Eby, and Mr. Schuebel to act as a com mittee to carry out their provisions. Following are the resolutions adopt ed: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, in order tc carry out the intent of the $1,700,000.00 Clack amas County Road Ecnd issue to a successful termination it will bo ne cessary to reorganize the road dis tricts in Clackamas county to ten districts, THEREFORE EE IT RESOLVE O that, we, the Live Wires of the Ore gon City Commercial Club request the Clackamas County co&rt to .establish snch large road districts as per the boundaries described in the elevsa big districts heretofore ordered; ex cepting Road District No. 1 and that to remain as. it is at the present time or to the satisfaction of the res idents therein. FURTHER RESOLVED, that thesi; resolutions be spread on the minutes of the meeting and copies thereof be given to the press and to the Coun ty Court, and that a committee be appointed to interview the County Court for the purpose of the resolu tions. RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the voters of Clacka mas county passed the $1,700,000.00 Road Bond act, and WHEREAS, certain persons have taken it unto themselves to work the Grange to foster a movement to at tempt to defeat the measure by plac ing the recall on the ballot at an elec tion to be held at some future date, and WHEREAS, a portion of the bond money has been expended in building a bridge at Oregon City, building the Mt. Hood Loop, building a concrete road trom Mulmo to Molalla river, building a road on Barlow-Monitor project, building "a concrete road in West Linn, etc., and WHEREAS, it has ben stated by the prime movers of tliis recall that the Live Wires and Oregon City people are back of it, THEREFORE I'.E IT RESOLVED, that the Live Wires of the Oregoa City Commercial Club go on record as being against any such 'movement and that we are opposed to any deal wherein the bond issue might be come estranged from :ts original pur pose, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that we are in favor of carrying out the pro gram so that the farmers can realize on the original intent of the bond ?ssue at the earliest possible time, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that wt thmk it not fair and equitable fo Oregon City to get its bridge and three hard surfaced roads to Port land and a hard surfaced road south, the Mt. Hood Loop to be completed, and all the dreams of the sctnic en thusiasts to be completed and the farmer left stuck in the mud. and be it KUHTHJSK KliSUJVKL), that a committee be appointed to commuu icate with each of the granges The Home Demonstration Agent. In the three thousand counties of the United State there are more than a thousand County Agents helping farmers with their problems. There are about half as many Home Demon stration Agents to help farmers wives as well as all other homekeepers of the county. This work is a Ibrm of social service and of teaching it requires a training in Home Economics, which may be gained in a our-year course at an Agricultural College. It also requires ability to teach, a pleasing personality, the knack of getting on well with peo ple, and good common senseu The Home Demonstration Agent or- granizes women's clubs, or lectures at one, helps with programs, and fosters all public movements which make for community and woman and home bet terent. She also helps individuals and visits them in their homes if need ed. She may be a county worker, or sfle may serve the state through its Agri cultural College. Her pay corresponds to that of a high school teacher, or ranges from $1200 to $1600, depend ing" upon her ability and the county served. This is a vocation with a future, as women's clubs, farm oragnizatien and the Agricultural Department are work ing to have a Home '. Demonstration Agent in every county in the United States ,and many commercial farms are calling for Home Demonstrators to demonstrate some article of their manufacture. Savory Soups of Clackamas County with the end in view of having them withdraw the petitions now in circulation for the recall, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED that these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the meeting and that copies be given to the press tnd to Harvey G. .Starkweather. Cruelty Charged; Man Pays $15 Fine Pleading guilty to a charge of cruel ty to animals, James Driemer, . of Canemah was fined $15 and costs. Driemer was arrested by Constable Fortune upon a complaint of a neigh bor, charging him with a minor of fense. He pled guilty to the charge. I was chagrined the other day, in studying up a recipe with a fancy name in which were mentioned "onion puree" and "white sauce." to find it was my old friend Potato Soup mas querading under an aristocratic tiV.bt But by any other name it will smell as appetizing There is nothing more ac ceptable on a chill autumn evening. It Is made of potatoes and onions sliced and cooked thoroughly together, flavor ed generously with salt, pepper butter and perhaps a pinch of any spce you choose. October answers, that old test, con taining one of the letters of the word "Oyster," therefore oyster soup is per mssable now. I prefer to cook .lie oysters for five minutes, though some say prepare your milk first and merely heat the oysters through, else you will make them less delicately flavored. It is undeniable that cooking does extract the flavor from the oyster but it im proves the soup which is insipid other wise. After cooking a few minutes add butter generously, salt, pepper, milk and a few cracker crumbs loi thickening. Celery, chopped and stewed twenty minutes, then made into a cream soup is delicious. Any 'vegetable with a strong .distinctive flavor may be thus made into cream soup. When using tomatoes, neutralize them first with baking soda. A peppery tomato soiuj without cream is a good appetixe:. Grated cheese to flavor may be ad I ed to a very thin white sauce, allowed to sit hot, covered until the cheese melts and served as soup. To extract the essence from meat for soups put the meat on to cook iz. cold watetand simmer slowly and long. Cold water may be adde from time to time. Bean soup, in which the beans a:e so thoroughly cooked as to be dissolv ed, is a. hearty food appropriate for cold weather. Do not forget the old stand-by veg etable soup, made of a dash of all kinds of vegetables and containing alW sorts of valuable mineral salts. It shoud appear in every heme at least once a week and be a favorite with the children. It is the best possible dish for the hot school -lunch. Which Is your favorite laboring sav ing device is like your favorite child, if any difficult to determne. Our tea-wagon is one which,.it seems to us, we could hardly keep house without, yet we got along many years tea-cart-less and had no idea what we were missing'. Ours is made for service, a simple three shelves on wheels, and service it surely gets. When it is time to set the table, it Is wheeled before the cupboard and loaded with all the dishes needed on the table. These are wheeled to tha dining room and transferred, and an other trip to the kitchen brings in all the side wishes, the salad, and the hot food After the meal the table can us ually be cleared with one loading of the tea-wagon. If there is dessert it is placed on the tea wagon within easy reach and the dishes from the first course removed to this useful c-arry-all. In dishwashing time .the ea-wagon Is placed beside the drainpan and the clean dishes are put on the tea-wagon the cupboard or wheeled into the whence they can easily be rolled to pantry, out of the dust, and left -ready for the next meal. In fruit c-ar.nipg sea son, or any time of extra stress when more table room is needed, the tea wagon serv es as a supplementary table and can be easily wheeled into any position where itVill be most conveni ent. For Sunday night suppers and little cosy times when someone comes and you want to serve refreshments, the tea cart can be dressed up ;n clean Unen and made to hold every thing which is needful for a'imffet-lanch- eon," or lap lunch, or as we prefer to call it, a meal "a la carte. If father and mother, or daughter and her com pany want to slip off for a little meal by themselves ,the tea'-cart may be set nnd wheeled into the library, or any secluded nook. We hink such meals very jolly. It there is a baby in the home, the tea-wagon, with a soft blanket spread on top, can be rolled into a warm cor ner to serve as table for the operation of baby's bath. A home-made tea-wagon can be con structed by using the wheels of an old baby cab with a box with shelves mounted on it. Countless steps may be saved by letting the tea-wagons "save your heels." To move, things whole sals, "a la carte," is much easier than the old way of carrying them on the installment plan. THE WOMN CITIZEN - ,s$vs!k-..$--e3s-s-$ss The City's Water Supply The. history of water supply Teads like' a tale of romance. 'At first the cave man lived near the stream, then he carried water a little ways. Later men dug 'wells. When cities grew im portant they had some sort of system, otter a reservoir from which pipes, generally of wood, distributed tho watei. The old Roman Aqueducts are famous. Hardly a village in America today but what has its, convergent water system. We have spent enoiwnous sums in providing these, but water is one of our first necessities. We must have it pure for health s sake and abundant for cleanliness, for fire protection, for sprinkling streets and flushing sew ers and streets, for sprinkling parks and lawns, and for manufacturing pur poses. The expense of all this is gen erally paid by bonding the city and maintenance is paid either in taxes or DISTRICT CONVENTION OF I.O.O.F. LODGE IS HELDAT ESTACADA Wedding Concludes Ceremony of Local Odd Fellows at Annual Meeting ESTACADA, Or., Oct. 17. A iaje wedding concluded the Clackamas county district Odd Fellows' conven tion here Saturday. The bridegroom was Red Ludlow, a prominent. Cl3 Fellow of Estacada, and the brid Miss Dorothy Granum, a Rebekah of Portland. Rev. J. H. Thorpe of Port land was the officiating clergyman.

The Odd Fellows held their meetings in the park pavilion. water rent, The meter system pre-; the morning' session being taken up vents the waste of water which pre vailed under the flat rate. Some of the great cities have mar velous water systems.. The tunnel which brings water from the ftshokan Reservoir one hundred miles, to New York, is next to the Panama Canal, the world's greatest enginering feat. Many cities in hill regions bring water from reservoirs in the hills. Some cities get their water from riv ers or lakes If the supply is impurj it is filtered then pumped into reser voirs and distributed. Many cities get water from deep wells hundreds of feet deep .It is pumped into a "stand pipe." a reservoir propped up on mas onry as high as the highest budding Fjom here its weight forces it all over the city and affords fire protection, as the spray of water will reach to the height of the water in the stand pipe. Water mains, great pipes, lead from the reservoir into main streets, smaller pipes lead from this to side streets, and still smaller ones into the houses. Enormous pumps keep the city finK full, and help furnish water pressure. MRS. SOLOMON SAYS: Bath-room, and kitchen hcoks are liable to become rusty and leave iron rust spots on articles hung on theni To prevent this buy white enamal hooks at the hardware store or enamel those you have by dipping tnem into enamel paict. 1 If yon are in a hurry to remove the fat from soup and do not want to re-duct- it by pouring in cofd water to make fat harden on top, you can strain i it all off by pouring the soup throus'i a cloth.
