OF TOURIST ASSOCIATION LAUDED "The most --fective work performed by any single organization in New York City to advance the liberty loans, was by the Far Western Travel Associ ation," said C. R. Richards, special repri-sentuive of the organization who made a trip to Oregon City while in Oregon a few days representing Geo. W. Furey, president of the Asso ciation. "Our association is the largtst of its kind in America," continues Mr. Rich ards, ''and has. more to U with crystal lizing the western spirit than anything else. Born in the great 3tate of New York .the association locks to the west for its inspiration. It was thru this so ciety that the national parks of Ameri ca received a great stimulus according to Stephen T. Mather, national park director. The late Franklin K. Lane, secretary, of the interior and a whole hearted western - man, said a short time before his death 'this organiza tion did the most effective work dur ing the war drives :n selling the Amer ican spirit to the people of New York.' ,: "Our work deals with salesmanship and is centered upon the far -vest ince the close of the war we have re Fumed our activities. One of the reai- ly big things wr stage once a year is a national park banquet in New York We have as many as 1.S00 people seat ed at out time with some of the rrnst prominent men of the nation on t.k; speaking program. The whole theme centers around the interests of Amer ica's resources lying wett of the Rock mountains with the- purpose in view of directing the tourists of America to ap preciate its national parks and the Northwest. This in face of the fat that thousands of Americans each year wpend millions of dollars in touring Europe in search of romance, adveu ture, pleasure when the same enviorn ments exist in our own country. "The west has been called the play ground of America. Our purpose iff to make this a reality and prove to the traveling public that it is not neces sary to go out of the country for either pleasure or business. Ihis part of the country has more to offer than the eat-t and, it is the next place to be develop, ed " t ''Your 102.1 Exposition is an oppor tunity for the we.--t No question about its success because the people of. America will come, now that the high ways are paved, ant? learn for the first time how great and beautiful this Northwest is. The people will come from Europe and European govern ments will exhibit if the rightful invi tation is extended. "I cannot conceive of a belter way to increase your population than to invite the people to a great peace demonstration. From an education ; hoint of view it will be worth more than the capital you put in. From co-oreraUve opportunity it will teach your businessmen how to work to gether. From a social side it will at tract the finest America produces an leave a stream of gold in your state From an industrial standpoint it v.'i set your state ahead 30 years over its normal growth. "Oregon has everything to gain Enough new business will be attracted to the state to pay the whole cost of the exposition before tie gates open. Then the after effect will be felt i'or years and years to come This has been the history of other expositions It will prove the same :c 192o. San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis, all cities where expositions have been held, speak with pride of their achieve ment and attribute their present suc cess to the advertising received thru their expositions. If it is good for other cities to inaugurate national ad vertismg campaigns, it certainly must he good for the Northwest "I have just recently been in New York. The east is eager to l-.ave some reasonable excuse to travel. New Yoik will be represented That great state will send mere busines-i to Oregon in 1625 than you can possibly estimate. He sure and make your program of na tional interest in 3 525 and the world will come to your door. i The Irish Settlement It may be too soon to say that the age long contro versy between England and Ireland, which has em bittered a great empire and sown the seeds of dissension throughout the world, is yet settled. But the hopefull reports from across the water indicate the probability J tit 1 r 11 1 IC ?i 2 mat me oasis or peace, nas oeen luunu. n so, n is one of the great achievements of the century. The antagonism between Britain and Ireland may have played a part in starting the late war. Kaiser Will iam believed that England had her hands full, in the Emerald isle. He thought that the danger of an open Irish rebellion would seem so great to the British statesmen that they would keep their hands off the continent of Europe, and let Germany and Austria settle affairs with France and Russia without English interference. And he believed, in case England did go to the help of France and Belgium, that Ireland would revolt, and start a back fire that would keep England fully occupied. The Kaiser missed his guess, 'but this feeling was one big factor that encouraged him! to throw down the gage of battle. i Our people have believed heartily in Irish home rule, and they could see no reason why the people of. Ireland should not have self government like Canada and Australia. The granting of practical freedom under the terms of agreement, is in accord with the principles that the United States enunciated in I 776. If this had j been done many years ago, an infinite amount of suf- fering and misunderstanding would have been avoid- i ed. ' j If this cause of conflict has been removed, a great I obstacle to the stabilization of European conditions I will have been removed. England could hardly reduce her taxes while she had to fight a revolution) in Ireland. And until she does reduce her taxes, she can not do her share in promoting recovery from the effects of war. ' by lorelce 7j THEIR MODEST BUT MEANINGFUL zSS?t CHRISTMAS Mr. Mansford was a "rising youns lawyer," comparatively. Of course, you couldn't expect him to be very young with five roistering children to his credit; nor, the same same, to be very rising. But he was pushing straight ahead, that is until the OPERATION, and5 doctor bills, and hospital bills, .and nurse bills, and apothecary bils, etc., etc. To be sure, he was not caught unprepared for a "rainy day," but 'twere a pity to let the first rainy day wash out his whole bank account.' Totally irreleant to all this, Decem ber the twenty-fifth was "marching," so to speak, and five youthful Mans ford s, like other normal children, were 'counting the weeks that are hurrying by." No wonder the Parents Mansford worried. "Shop Early" meant nothing to them; Agitate Early was more io the point. . "No sooner done than said" admited rooms fairly and ledge until the screamed ''Be joyful!' hand in everything," figuratively and literally eating scraps, spilling paste, and pulling things down, thus prolonging the delightful tasks of jubi lating. Sis invented, concocted whatever you call it a play in which Hard-up, the villian, attempted to strangle Lady Bountiful; but the timely cry of Kew pie brought Santa Claus to the rescue. By waving his magic wand he meta morphosed Hard-up into his better self simply Adversity. Since 'sweet are the uses of Adversity," that un popular villian instantly became the hero, captured the love of Lady Boun tiful, shared her throne, and in unison they bestowed upon their loyal sub jects, who bowed before them, sweet graces of character. Bud was Hard-up, Mother was Lady Bountiful, Baby was Kewpie, Tim was Santa, Sis and Muf- Insti- tutional management should be studied by the matron as well as dietetics, sanitation and hygiene. Most matrons receive today little hotter than housekeeper wages, about Baby "had a I ten dollars a week and keep," but the work will be better paid when stan dards are raised and training demanded. .foi'SssSS,S5''S" Mother Mansford to Father Mansford.

Members of the Post met at the Hard ing drug store and marched in a body to the Brady chapel, and was largely represented. The American flag was carried by David MCArthur. of New Era, who has been flagbearer for Meade Post for over 30 years. The floral tributes were in large numbers and were beautiful.

Christmas From present indica tions Christmas will be generally ob served , in Oregon City, because we hear nothing but Christmas trees, Christmas parties, Christmas excur sions, Christmas presents, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! There will be a magnificent Christmas tree at the M. E. churcn. The Episcopal church is being tastefully decorated for the oc casion, as is usual with th3 church. The ball to be given fey L.

It will be submitted to the full com mittee on naval armaments. PRICES TO BE PROBED WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. Investiga tion of retail prices of food, fuel, shoes and clothing In all parts of the coun try was ordered today by Attorney General Daugherty. The Flood in Washington Territory - -The rains have been very disastrous upon some of our Washington Terri tory neighbors. Monticillo, which stood back upon the hank of the Cowlitz river, has been almost entirely swept away, and its people forced to take shelter upon higher ground, and it is fortunate that no lives were lost. It is stated that the water was the highest here ever known for twenty years. Lewis river arose to an unprecedented height, and has cut a new channel some ten miles below the present one, and it is thought the channel may be changed.. West Linn High Five Beaten In Portland The basketball quint of Jefferson high defeated west Linn Friday night on the Jefferson floor, 44 to 3. Fouls and one field basket gave the losing aggregation its count. The high school tossers early took the lead and held it. Watson, Muller and Clark starred for the winners, and Reed, Simpson and Hammerly did stellar work for the losing team. So began her systematic propaganda. - "In China," she announced one night at supper, "the children are starving for the lack of such simple food as we are rich in." The children looked at her open-mouthed and nobody complained at plain mush and milk that evening. Another night, she told them of the pitiful conditions in Russia; and an other, of war-stricken Europe; and an other ,Of sorrow and suffering near at home; of orphans; of children home- les, of children poor and neglected; of children rich and so hampered by cus tom and formality that they couldn't have any freedom or fun; of unloved children; of blind children; of lonely of of slave children; of benighted chil dren in savage countries; of crippled chldren; of bind chldren; of lonely old people, helpless and pitiful; of people with painful or incurable diseases. It was in the midst of one such re cital that, noticing tears in the eyes of Muffet, and Tim swallowing hard on his baked potato, and Father Mansford blowing his nose audibly in the next room, she decided that it was the psyh olpgical moment for the clouds to rift SHti tbe silver lining to peer through. ViTZt it wonderful," sbe radiated, beaming on them, "that we have our home sweet, warm, and comfortable and safety;' and peace; and food; and clothing and health; and schools; and lots of play; and friends; and one another; and dear, dear Father. . ." Here all eyes turned tenderly toward the open door of his bed-room. "An' everything!" added Muffet, turning' to hug the Baby, her custo mary mode of letting off overcharged emotion. Toots threw his fat arms around her and got jelly in her hair, which was as nothing to the long-suffering she gladly endured for his sake. "Seems's if we ought to give away a lota stuff." said Bud, thoughtfully, "What's the use of us bein' loaded all up when other folks are so bad off?" "Whoopee!" jubilated Tim, suddenly conscious of his plutocracy,, and, wav ing his spoon, splashed potato-soup on Muffet's school middy. "Oh, Tim, I jsh't you were a baby. Jelly ain't near as bad's grease spots.-' Poor Mufet had long ago discovered that, being sandwiched in between a younger and an older brother was not life de luxe. "I think," suggested Sis, who had conceived a bright thought, "that we ought not to expect a whole lot for ourselves for Christmas. Why not try to do something for folks that have got troubles?" , "Fine idea," exclaimed Mother, to whom this apparently gave a new in spiration. "Let's put our brains to it and study hard and see what we can make out of this Christmas!" "O Boy!" rhapsodized Bud, "I'll bet it. will be a hummy-dinger!" When Mother talked like that, something was bound to happen. Father Mansford chuckled in his bed in the next room. A busy, thoughtful, interesting house hold was the Mansfords for the next few weeks. Round-tables and secret conferences were held at meals, in bed, doing dishes, and neck-and-ear wash ings, and every kind of. 'a time. The result was what Tim proclaimed "SOME Christmas." Everybody contributed acording to his ability. Each put in big effort, thought, sacrifice, love and happiness, and isn't that the real secret of a merry Christmas, after all? They did without the usual expen sive tree, and trappings, and costly gifts. Instead the children made the house gorgeous, or garish, according to your view-point with gay paper do-dads, cut, folded, strung, pasted. shabby rain-coat and kimona, bowed before the throne and, blessed by Ad versity and Lady Bountiful, arose radi ant creatures with paper-spangled white dresses. Father, on the couch iu the living room for the first time since the operation, was the appreciative audience. He contributed his share to the Christmas eve entertainment by read ing, as was their annual Christmas eve custom, Dickens' Christmas Carol. Never before did it, no his dear voice, seem half so sweet. The whole family was melted to tenderness and smiles. Christmas day itself was a fulfill ment of their most rosy dreams. There were presents for everybody, home made ones, very Inexpensive but ap-1 propriate. A knitted muffler, a fudge apron made from a worn silk shirt, a "beauty-bag" ditto, manual-training- made picture frame, a on the wheels of an' old yarn ball, a rag doll with real hair and fluffy dress, a cloth picture book, a set of card-board doll furniture in a wooden shoe-box doll house, a car penter bench on which were assembled all the household tools for tbe use of budding carpentera. Everything new, whose use could be delayed that long, was made to serve the Christmas display. Sample break fast food packages, tooth powder, toilet soap, stockings, nighties. Even the package of raisins and the cans of corn and salmon looked festive in that company. Besides this there were fat, sugared dough-nuts, candy, wal nuts, well-polished apples, and fancy shaped cookies. As for the suffering world, don't think they forgot their good resolu tions. A basket, chock-full, pressed down (Yessir, Baby did that very act) and running-over was packed and exu berantly escorted to the Associated Charities. It contained some of every thing the Mansfords enjoyed even to toys. In the Mansford home, December the twenty-fifth was really, though, I hardly think the young Mansfords. would have admitted it a modest Christmas. But meaningful, O my, it certainly was That! WOMAM-I-TORIALS Master of Business Formerly a busienss education was considered a second rate affair to be taken by those lacking the ambition to take a regular college course, but times are changing.

It will confer the degree of Master of business. Funeral of Pioneer Is Held at Molalla Welfare1 In a Nutshell. Statistics show us that ninety per cent of the school children of all countries suffer from some form of preventable dental disease. In the most intelligent school districts it is as tounding to discover how few children own a tooth-brush or ever clean their Many friends attended the funeral services of the late Levi Robbins, prominent pioneer of Molalla, held at the family residence at that place Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. A. T. Shoemake, of Molalla, an old time friend of the Robbins family, officiated, and several favorite selec tions of Mr. Robbins were sung' by a community choir under the direction of George V. Adams. At the cemeterv where interment took place in the family plot, tbe choir sang two selec tions, among these being "It Is Well With My Soul." Old time friends of the deceased were pallbearers. The floral tributes were beautiful, many having been sent from various parts of Clackamas county and from Portland. Levi Robbins was born in Deeator county, Indiana, February 28, 1S35, and came to Oregon in 1S52. At the age of 17 years he crossed the plains with his parents, Jacob and Sarah Robbins, he being one of teiv-caildren.. The family was six months crossing the plains, and after arriving in Ore gon settled at Salem Prairie, four miles from the present site of Salem. In 1S62 he settled at Molalla, where he has since resided, engaging in bus iness, together with farming. He has lived on the old home plsce at Mo lalla, wbere he died, for the past 59 years. There was no resident in that section of the county who was held in higher esteem than Mr. Robbins, and his home has always been one of the most hospitable in that section of the county where many friends have gathered from time to time. Mr. Robbins, in younger days was the owner of the Robbins store, of Molalla, now owned by his sons, the firm name being Robbin Brothers, store.

Pneumonia Claims Aged Man as Victim OPEN DOORS IN BUSINESS MATRON Institutional life is increasing. We now have great demand for the social homekeeper. Homes for the aged, the orphaned, the delinquent, the blind, leaf, feeble-minded, epileptics, soldiers, sailors, their widows and children, cripples reformatories, schools, club houses and college fraternities and school teachers: all these demand a motherly overseer or matron. "The duties in the various institutions vary, but they include housekeeping, or the superintending of it, as well as more or less social mothering. This sort of work appeals to the big heart ed woman of vigor who is home lov ing and wishes to serve those who need home comfort. We do not find many trained ma trons today but we will in the future find more who are trained for it. The matron should be a dietician, and edu cated in all phases of domestic science, and she should have tact in dealing with people, ba agreeable and kindly to these and know how to conduct her home wisely for the best interest and welfare of its inmates.
