CALENDAR FOR OREGONIAMS
An Oregon Product Featuring Rose
FestivalHas Many TJnlque
Features.
The most sensible business calendar
ever distributed here is now being sent
out by Oregon Life Insurance Company.
The makeup of the calendar is unique
and unlike others. Every Oregon bank
holiday is named on the day of its
occurrence. The Portland Rose Fes
tival is featured prominently and given
publicity.
Every sheet, besides giving the days
of the current month in clear, bold
figures, also shows the days of the
month previous as well as of the month
to come.
Manager Samuel takes a pardonable
pride in the fact that the calendar
is "made in Oregon." Aside from the
raw material, considerably more than
70 per cent of its production cost, is
ror uregon laoor; ana, rurtnermore, no
better printing can be done anywhere.
The Oregon Life calendar is an ex
ponent of Keep Oregon Money in
Oregon." Every page Is brimful of it.
It is a fine advertisement for all
Oregon Industries.

MILITIA'S PLEA MADE
NAVAL FORCE SEEDED FOR DE
FENSE, SAYS OFFICER.
Lieutenant Smith Says Oregon and
Government Require Trained Men
and Fund Ia Vital.
"If the Legislature declines to make
an appropriation for the Oregon Naval
Militia and thereby abolishes it, the
Legislature will be doing an injustice
to the United States Government as
well as to the State of Oregon."
This was the declaration yesterday
of Lieutenant R. R. Smith, in charge
of the Navy recruiting station here.
and Inspector-Instructor of the Oregon
Naval Militia. Lieutenant Smith
thinks it would be short-sightedness
on the part of the Legislature to do
away with the $12,000 annual appropriation.
The unfortunate part of the affair.
if the Legislature really takes this
action, is that the United States Gov
ernment has Just taken over the Naval
Militia, which, in the entire country,
has about 8000 members.
"The Government now will arm.
equip, uniform, pay and educate the
men for service in war or in the mer
chant marine.
"It is our purpose to try to have
the Oregon Naval Militia on the old
battleship Oregon when she leads the
procession through the Panama Canal
next year, bearing President Wilson
and his staff. Eventually It is our pur
pose to try to get the Oregon right
here in Portland harbor for a train
ing ship.
"The strategic location of Oregon is
so important that the state cannot af
ford to drop her defensive preparations
at home.
"Inasmuch as the Government is
spending most of the money, and is
spending it right here in Portland,
it would seem to me unwise for the
state to stop the Government's expendi
ture by withdrawing its own support."
J. Fred Larson, chairman of the State
Naval. Board, which administers the
afafirs of the Naval Militia, last night
declared himself entirely in accord
with Lieutenant Smith.

END OF WORLD FEARED
WAR CALLED MURDER AND PEACE
ONLY NATIONAL DOPE.
Dr. Nina E. Wood Pleads for Tcrmlna
tlon of Strife and Asks Aid of
Neutrals for Cause.
A horrible calamity, that will result
in the eventual destruction of the
world, is certain unless universal peace
is soon attained. Dr. Nina Evallne
Wood, head of the Volunteer Peace So
ciety, predicted at the peace rally at
tne Central Library yesterday.
"When a man kills another death is
prescribed by law as the penalty for
his crime," said Dr. Wood. ' "War is
murder of the first degree and each of
the nations now locked in the death
grip are guilty of the crime. If tne
rest of us, supposedly neutral, allow
the bloodshed to continue without mak
ing efforts to check it. we share the
guilt of the combatants. The death
penalty in a higher scope overhangs
the world and this will not be com
muted unless the barbarism of warfare
is stopped permanently. This end can
be attained only by all neutral nations
standing shoulder to shoulder in their
fight for universal peace."
Resolutions pleading for the cause
of peace have been drawn and will be
sent by the society- to all world powers,
together with the suggestion that
white nag, symbol of lasting peace, be
adopted by all nations as their official
standard to replace those now in use.
"We are preparing to ask the Govern
ment of the United States to adopt this
white nag first and. as peace is at
tained, to urge it upon the other na
tions as an emblem of their sincerity
in the movement for peace, thus
eventually making it the universal
flag." -
The meeting yesterday was the sec
ond of a scries at the Central Library,
one planned for each Sunday afternoon.
The principal speaker at next Sunday's
rally will be Hewitt Baker, president of
the State Christian Endeavor Society.
Other persons, among them Dr. Frank
L. Loveland, Dr. C. H. Chapman, Mrs.
Millie Trumbull and Dr. Isaac Swett,
will speak at subsequent meetings.

I HI
wish to speak, three vital tasks which
face the modern man today in his daily
living: First, the modern man must
show in his Christian religion, his Chris
tian living, that goodness is central to
life and that it is a practical and usable
thing; secondly, the task of the modern
man today is to save men's souls; third
ly, the modern man has still a greater
task in the remaking of the world.
"We . have cheapened the idea of
Christian morality today until the
world Is doubting the value of the gol
den rule. I never was more stunned
in my life than when David K. For
gan, of Chicago, one of the country's
greatest financiers, arose in midweek
prayer meeting a few years ajro and
bodldly announced that in the world of
credits, where he labored, the name of
Christian meant nothing.
"We live in a world of machines and
machines make cities. We're living
in a box to-day surrounded by four
walls of brick and mortar and on a
floor- of cement. Can the finer ele
ments of man's nature, can his joy in
beauty, his love of purity long exist in
such a condition, such a state, without
the aid of the modern man and his re
ligion? It is the question of the age.
The modern man has a stupendous task
before him. We have allowed the vice
and slimo of the world to feed upon
thonsands. The time has come, nay,
long has been here, that the rescue of
men's souls must be made. I'm not
thinking of that Judgment beyond. It
is the task before us right now and
here which we must face. It's an awful
world in which we are living. You men
and women of success must realize it.
"The law of universal love must be
worked out. A new Christianity is
being born. Christ is not going to
quit the earth, but instead a new
church is rising out of the conserva
tism of the past. God will have
spiritualized humanity."
