13 nrTn? - wvRvrva OW.OXTAIf, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1920 MULTNOMAH WAITS flPEHG OF POLLS City and County Election Preparations Complete. VOTE EARLY, IS PLEA Pinal Rash Before Closing Hoars Hard on "Workmen; Manf Forced to Line Cp. Appointment of election boards has been completed and all arangements have been made for tomorrow's elec tion in Multnomah county, according to County C!rK Beveridge. The county cleric and a staff o-t deputies worked until 10 o'clock Sat urday night arranging the final de tails for the election and taking care of vacancies in the election staff, due to. declinations of judges and clerks. There has been difficulty this year in getting a staff of judges and clerks and, in cases, it has been found neces sary to employ persons living in one precinct, at the polling place of an other precinct. Some objection has been raised to this, Mr. Beveridge said, but it had been found necessary in order that the election might be taken care of. Work Keeps Many Away. The difficulty this election is partly attributed to the fact that the ballot is unusually long arwi that the work Will consequently be heavy. '. The polls in the various voting pre cincts will be open at 8 o'clock in the morning tomorrow and will close at 8 o'clock at night. Voters are urged to cast their bal lots as early as possible in order to do away as much as possible with the final rush' just before closing time. There are always a certain number of workmen who must vote after working hours. This, together with the fact that many of the voting places are small, resulted in lines of fters waiting to cast their ballots as the clOFing hour drew near even at the recent primary election. At tomor row's election there will be even greater congestion unless more vot ers go to the polls at an early hour. Congestion will mean delay for both day and night boards a9 well as in convenience for the voters. Sojourner Can't Tote. The Oregon law requires that an elector, to be eligible to vote, must have been a resident of the state for eix months preceding the election. Some sojourners from other states are under the impression that they will be able to vote the national ticket in epite of having recently oome here. This is not the case, as a six months' residence is clearly pro Tided for by the law. Eligible electors who have not reg istered may vote by "being sworn in." In the city of Portland they are required to have six freeholders swear to their eligibility to vote. In the country precincts they are re quired to have only two. Precincts Are Changed. An elector registered in Multnomah county may vote in a precinct other than the one in which he Is regis tered by presenting a certificate of registration from the county clerk. An elector who seeks to vote out aide the county in which be Is regis tered may do so by presenting a cer tificate of registration from the clerk of his home county. He is then per mitted to vote on national, state and district nominees and measures; but not on county or city nominees or measures. In writing in candidates' names County Clerk Beveridge said that ini tials should also be used. The law requires that it must be clear to the judges what the voter meant and, in cases, there might be some question if initials were not used. The elec tion board in each instance must pass on these cases and if a voter's mean ing is doubtful the vote is not counted. X Has Right Place. In every election many voters do not put their Xs in the right place. On national and state candidates and . all measures the X goes between the number and the name of the candi date or the number and the "yes" or "no," as the case may be. Thus, 86 X Alderson, V. C, or on Zoning 600 X Yes. On the city nominees, however, the voter's mark goes in the squares following the names, in order to give the opportunity for voting first, sec ond or third choice. On city candidates voters should be careful to vote only one choice for any one candidate. The new "absent voter" provision means that .County Clerk Beveridge will have a busy election day. This act was created by a legislative act providing that ballots may be ob tained by college students, traveling salesmen, army men and government and state employes legitimately away from home. These ballots are mailed back to the county clerk and must be delivered tomorrow by the county clerk to the various election boards in each absent voter's precinct. 150 Vote by Mall. Already 150 of these have been re ceived by the county clerk and these must be delivered in person by him to election boards scattered all over the county. Mr. Beveridge said it would be necessary for him to secure a machine and map out a route in or der to deliver the ballots as provided by law on election day. Mr. Beveridge estimates that it will be two days before the counting of the vote will be complete! in the county. He estimates that the count ing can only be done at the rate of about 12 ballots an hour and that there will be an average of about 200 ballots cast in each precinct. He estimates that the vote will be from 75 to 80 per cent of the regis tered vote, a high percentage. RECEIPTS IE $21 rED CROSS SHOP SHoWs GAtX IX FTJXDS. IMPORTED LITTLE THEATER : PROVES DELIGHT TO CHILDREN ATTENDING STANDLEY SCHOOL Puppets Are Operated by Little Boys and Girls Choice of 100 Selections of Scenery Is Offered Electric Lights Are Operated by Little Switches. tr, 7 LAV ST M. -i;V I u II 1 I 14 1 f f6 IS f 0 FA.IRT TALES of the good old fashioned kind from the books which children love and others. sometimes more fascinating, from the imaginative brains of the children themselves, will be shown this winter on the stage of what Is probably the smallest "little theater" in thU city. Children will change the scenery in this diminutive theater, turn on the lights and set the tiny actors in mo tion. Thirtyon little boys and girls from 3 to 7 years, enjoyed the first thrills of being "behind the scenes" Friday morning at the Standley school of work and play on Vista avenue. They had for their theater an imported model stage, which has just arrived after an eight months' trip from Spain. Here they presented two little plays as part of a special Hall oween programme. The tiny stage is complete in every detail from the beautiful frieze above the drop curtain to the footlights. which change by turning on the switch to any color of the rainbow. 100 Settings in Selection.' The children have their choice of nearly 100 settings for scenery and endless combinations can result from the little "drops" which depict all sorts of weather and indoor and out door scenes In any chosen country in the world. The settings and the little actors with their system of clever manipulation were all ordered, by William Standley, the director of the school, from abroad. Mr. Standley himself installed the elaborate system' of lighting with which the stage is equipped. Eight switches, which the children can eas ily operate, bring on the vari-colored lights. One of the things the children love best about the theater is the actors, made of cardboard figures set upon sticks. The sticks are operated from the wings by the children and it is amazing what actions the tiny figures can accomplish. As Mr. Standley reads aloud some story, the children select the characters and make them go through the proper motions. Other Children Get Cnance. The privilege of enjoying this the ater will not bo confined to the pu pils of this school, for the stage will be carried by Mr. Standley to hospi tals and childrens" homes all over the city,, especially at the holiday season. The little children In these homes will be able to play with the theater and make the actors express their ideas just as do the little boys and girls in the Standley school.

"Our force of women workers is ready to keep on indefinitely so long as the need for the shop exists," said Miss Whitney. "They ask that the home owners of Portland dio not forget that the shop is running. We can use and shall be glad to send for house hold furniture, pictures, books, waste paper, old clothing, shoes, bags of rags and anything that has a sales value. A number of Portland women are knitting for us, making stockings and sweaters which are invariably sold the day we receive them in the store.

That is why we once again issue our appeal to the general public to call - up the shop. Main 6689, so we may send the truck." Report Showing Earnings Is Fea ture of Local Chapter's Annual Meet. Twenty-one' thousand dollars was cleared by the American Red Cross shop last year from old clothes, bun dles o- newspapers, books, magazines and all sorts of odds and ends donated by Portland people. The report showing these earnings was the feature of the recent annual meeting of the Portland chapter. "When the Red Cross shop was first started, we were thrilled at the thought of gross earnings of $1000 a month," said Miss Helen Whitney, secretary of the shop, who for a long time has been its guiding spirit.

The Oregon State Graduate Nurses' association has for the first time has been passed on by the association on the basis of "a current report from Good Samaritan and St. Vincent hospitals, submitted by authorized representatives, and in harmony with the reports from Emanuel and Mult nomah county hospitals and the Port land Nurses' Registry and is agree able to nurses from other alumnae." In the mental, obstetrical and con tagious cases, it is stipulated by the ruling of the association that "there shall be no additional charges ex cept that the necessary travel ex penses shall be met by the employer." The association is making these regulations to conform with other cities throughout the United States. Previously, Portland has .had no of ficial standards. After January, 1921, hours of duty for nurses will be 12 hours. This fixed a standard for payment of nurses and regulated hours of serv ice. Nurses will hereafter charge $7.50 a day for medical and surgical cases and $8.50 for mental, obstetrical and contagious cases. This is an in crease of $1 a day over previous prices.

While on a tour of eastern Oregon in September of this year we made a personal investigation of Mal heur lake, which Mr. Finley seems so anxious should be ceded to the federal government. This lake or marsh, properly defined covers approximate ly 47,000 acres and belongs to the state aof Oregon under the swamp land act. The waters have been gradually re ceding for years, untU probably 15,000 to 20,000 acres have been reclaimed and are now sufficiently above water line to permit of successful farming. Numerous settlers are now living on these reclaimed lands, improving, cul tivating and actually raising enor mous crops of hay, grain and other agricultural products. We saw oats from five to six feet high that would yield 100 to 125 bushels an acre grow ing on these reclaimed lands, and barley from four to five feet high that would yield from 60 to 90 bushels an acre. The soil Is extremely rich and pro ductive. The oft-repeated statement that these lands are so permeated with alkali as to render them unpro ductive and valueless is so apparently false as to cast a reflection on the honosty and good faith of those back of this brd reserve bill. Prom our personal investigationand knowledge oi the facts, so gained, we feel we would . be doing our duty as citizens of this state did we not at least endeavor to advise the voting public. Our sincere and earnest con viction is that the passage of this bill would be a colossal crime against the people of this etate, present and fu ture, and especially against the com mon school fund, which can be mate rially increased by a sale of these lands, to say nothing of the benefits that will accrue to the local county by reason of sale and settlement.
