Local civic organizations are being asked to give a part of their next meeting to this cause. At these meet ings speakers will express the sig nificance of the occasion. One of the leading features of Apple day activity will be the distribution of apples to the Portland newsboys under the direction of Dorr E. Keasey. ' The Muts' committee will have charge of the distribution of apples to men, women and children of the more un fortunate class who might be lame, blind or otherwise disabled, to those who are confined in public and chari table institutions. It is their aim to reach also poorer families who are pro vided for by public support, but not confined in such institutions. Efforts are being made to induce in dividuals, organizations, firms and cor porations to postscript their circulars and letters with the slogan, "Eat Ap ples Buy" the Box." The State of Washington is changing its dates and reorganizing so as to ob serve October 20 jointly as the Na tional Apple day, and is appealing to us governor to issue a proclamation setting forth that day as the one to be observed in which especially to en courage the distribution and consump tion of this fruit. The committee will take up with Governor West the matter of such a proclamation in the State of Oregon. WAR CORRESPONDENCE OUT Portland rublic Library Has Writ ings Preeeeding Conflict.

''Scrip" is good anywhere, any time you can save it for years. Where Is "Scrip" Given? "Scrip" will be given by the leading merchants, by YOUR merchants. Watch for the complete list to be published by the American Scrip Com pany, 516 Pittock building, Portland. These mer chants will give "Scrip" with every purchase of 10 cents or more.

A three-dollar purchase means three miles and so on. No matter what the amount, where you buy or when, every purchase counts. How Is "Scrip" Used?

The addi- MAZAMAS HOLD BANQUETS Officers Elected and Plans Made Tor Mount Sliasta Climb. A unique and' elaborate affSir of the week was the banquet given by the BT LEONE CASS BAER. WHEN Minnia Lighter first decided to attune one of her wee pink ears to the loud and Insistent call of the footlights she spent a dozen days pick ing out a name. She wanted something neat but not gaudy, one that would re flect credit on the family and still stick pleasantly in the memory of thea ter patrons. Up and down the alphabet strayed Minnia and finally decided that all the most expressive names had been taken. Even the Smiths and Browns had been picked over. So she looked up and down the family tree and there was perfectly good name, Townshend, be longing to her paternal grand-mother, the mother of Judge J. T. Lighter, who belongs also to Minnia, being her fa ther. Home Is in Cottage. Minnia Townshend she became pro fessionally, although her calling cards have read Mrs. Howard Russell for more years than it is good form in thea trical circles to be married to the same man. But Howard and Minnia always were unorthodox and they are still foolishly happy, interested in each other's work, own a wee white cottage with roses round the door in Vancouver, B. C, and' come home once a year to visit Minnia's pa and ma and then dash over into Montreal to see Howard's folks, before they start the Fall season of work. Living in British Columbia for a half dozen years explains why Townshend became Townsend, its present form. Minnia drops her aitches. But she has not dropped her patriotism and if she didn't have the sweetest disposition in the world she would ba tn hot water continually with her outspoken love and admiration for her ain countrie." Talking of Minnia's nice ways of see ing only good in others, it is related that when the wickedest murderer in all Canada was shot, the authorities sent for Minnia to come and look at him in the morgue and write an obit uary. And Minnia said, "Well, he had nice teeth." She Does Not Gossip. She is a specimen of an almost de funct species, a woman who doesn't goESip. who is kindly and amiably dis posed toward all the world.

Our eyes are ruined by the strain mod ern conditions put upon them, a strain opposed to Nature and destructive to perfect sight unless relieved by proper care. Few people know what to do when their eyes begin to go wrong: there fore, they do nothing at all until fail ing sight or actual agony forces them to act. Often, then, they are forced to resort to glasses -or temporary relief. A soothing, cleansing, healing, help ful lotion for eyes in trouble or those that wear glasses can be made from the following prescription: Optona 5 Kraina, (one Tablet) Water 3 ounces. Mix at home and use from two to four times a day. This prescription is in daily use by thousands. It sharpens the vision, allays irritation, relieves in tlamation and gives a smooth, well lubricated feeling to the eyes. It has enabled many to discard glasses they did not really need. It has restored many to perfect eye comfort. Its use is followed by a soothing sense of re lief from strain and overuse. Any drug gist can fill this prescription. Any physician familiar with the formula will tell you it is perfectly harmless. Adv. The entire St. Helens Hall will be torn down "TV- .
