ANNUAL DISPLAY WANTED Management of Armory Exposition J Is Praised for : Great Success of Event Immeasurable Ben jj eflt Reaped, Say All. Another Manufacturers' and Land Products Show in 1915, when thousands of visitors from the East will be buying- their tickets by way. of Oregon, Is foreshadowed in the expressions of satisfaction with the show Just closed on the part of the members of the exv- ecutive board which engineered It so successful!. Every member of the board, when Interviewed yesterday, expressed his gratification over the success of the enterprise and his belief in the lasting benefit It would have In the state. Nearly all. without hesitation, ex pressed a belief that a similar show next year will be of Immeasurable value to Portland and to Oregon. Here are some of the laudatory statements: Ralinar Company IMeased. K. W. Hild, general manager of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, who subscribed J "0 to the r-xr.osltion guarantee fund, c -fifth of the total amount subscribed ... am con- . fident that the officials and employes of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company think that the Manu facturers' and Land Products Show has been a remarkable success. The expo sition has given the people of Port land a chance to study the manufac turing situation. A groat many of our employes visited the show on Trans portation day with the "Made-in-Ore gon" League of the company and with other organizations. They returned to the office with statements which were gratifying in every respect. Annual Show Advocated. P. Feldman I think there will be no doubt that If this system of exhibiting home-manufactured products is fol lowed out that an equally successful show can be had every year. This will be a benefit not only to the manufac turers, but to the land products people of Oregon. W. H. McMonles I believe the ex hibit will enable us to give a more ex tensive exposition another year. It lias been the greatest advertisement that we have ever had for Oregon goods and products. H. J. Ottenheimer I consider the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show at the Armory one of the best I have seen In years. It brought a great many here to see what we can do, and from my own experiences I know that It has made business bet ter in Portland during the three weeks the show lasted. It ought to become rn.ll annual affair. Wonderful Success JVoted. A. J. Klngsley I sincerely believe that the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show has been one of the most successful ever held in the Amer ican Northwest. The show has been appreciated and . should be repeated from year to year. John S. Beall The Manufacturers' and Land Products Show has been a great success and should be repeated annually. It is the one institution that serves to educate the people as to what Is made in Oregon and what can be grown here and in the Northwest. I sincerely believe that every exhlbitoV lias received lasting results from the exposition. E. L. Thompson The exposition has been such a great success that there Is little doubt but what it will be an annual affair. The patronage given It by the people of Portland has been greatly appreciated, and I feel sure ths exposition, its attractions and its edu cational value have met with approval. Management Is Praised. - Julius Meier The exposition has been a great success and Colonel Dunne and his associates, who have worked so hard to make the exhibition the success It was, are deserving of praise. It is an exposition that should be re peated every year. T. S. Mann The Manufacturers' and -atnd Products Show presented a won derful opportunity to bring the prod ucts of Oregon factories before the people of Oregon and the Northwest. The show has been exceedingly success ful and I trust it will be made an an nual event. W. J. Hofmann The show has been a great success and should be made an annual event. Too much credit cannot be given the management for the ex hlbition given Portland and the peo. pie of the Northwest. It has been by the efforts of such men as A. J. Kings- ley, who has given so much of his per sonal attention to the exposition, that it has been such a wonderful success. The exhibits were of a high order and the show served as a great educational Institution to show the thousands of visitors what Is made in Oregon and what the soil produces. Not Single Complaint Heard. A. C. Black The show has demon strated what the Portland people can xlo with the proper organization. With the wonderful attendance we had dur ing the three weeks, I believe an affair of this kind should be put on every year. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Buckley and his assistants for the efficient manner in which they con ducted the show. During the exposi tion I did not hear one word of critl cism. A. P. Bateham The Manufacturers and Land Products Show brought to Portland the cream of the land prod ucts and the exhibits were displayed in ' a most beautiful manner. The show has added a great stimulous to the producer as well as to the consumer and will result in great educational benefit. J. Fred Larson The exposition has demonstrated the need of a public au ditorium. The exhibition was a big success and has been educational in . showing what the soil of Oregon and the Northwest produces and what is manufactured here. Great Benefits Derived. Francis Sealy I think the show was the most successful thing of the kind we have had In Portland for many years, and sincerely trust that it will be repeated next year. 1 W. E. Coman The show was an ex cellent one for the first, and the in terest taken indicates that it will re sult In great good. I believe in an other year a much more comprehensive show could be given and it should be made an annual affair. E. D. Tlmms To my mind the Manu facturers' and Land Products Show has been a howling success, and I feel more FEDERAL POSITIONS OPEN Civil Service Examinations An nounced by Commission.

'V?!i!' r-..,.-- v;'i: Si?:, i:;:;,:- JOBLESS TO SEEK FARM Inmates of Men's Resort to Start Life Anew on 60-Acre Tracts. "Back to the farm" has become the slogan of tne Men's Resort at Fourth and Burnslde streets, for this chari table organization has received a do nation of a 60-acre farm to which many of the city's unemployed will be sent this Winter. Rev. Levi Johnson, who is in charge of the resort, already has started a campaign to secure funds to fit out the farm and -make it available for use within a short while. Members of the First Presbyterian Church have given most of the first thousand dollars to the fund and the management of the 'money raised has been placed in the hands of this church. With regard to the new plan, Mr. Johnson, who came from Milton, Or., three years ago to take charge of the resort, said yesterday: The problem of the unemployed is a problem of maladjustment. The men never have feuSd the work or the place exactly suitea to their preferences and their powers. Nothing short of a complete readjustment of the man will make him once more a useful member of society. The farm, is the best solution."

Management Says "Were It Not for Election and' Some Bad Weather Surplus Would Bo Shown. Exhibits to Go to Spokane. Without havintr made a single de mand as yet upon the guarantee fund that was pledged by business concerns of the city, and with excellent prob abilities of not having to make any such demand, the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show closed yesterday with a record that has not been equaled by any show of like nature ever held in Portland. I cannot say definitely until arter we have bad a chance to check up on the final details whether or not the how has absolutely paid for ltseir. said Manager Buckley yesterday, "but t will come so close to it that the dif ference will be trifling, and there is a good prospect that it may close with small margin in Its lavor. "Had it not been for the handicap of a couple of evenings of bad weather and three days of election excitement to cut down the attendance, the Manu facturers' and Land Products Show would have had at least $1000 to its redit." The Land Products Show held two ears ago was obliged to call upon the guarantee fund to a considerable extent and much of the money from the fund was called in before the close of the show. The present show has paid for itself from day to day. and up to the hour of closing not a penny's demand had been -made upon the guarantee fund, while practically all of the principal bills have-been paid. The show was financed by collecting Lyment on the exhibit concessions argely in advance, which gave a fund sufficient for most of the current ex penses. The gate receipts filled out the fund and enabled the show to carry itself Every bill was paid as presented, and when the show Is wound up there will be little left on the books to be attended, to. The offices will be moved tomorrow to 408 Commercial Club building, where they will be open until the business of the show is wound up. Attendance at the show, in spite of the election and some bad weather, was fairly steady. Manager Buckley estimates that, ex clusive of passes, the average number of persons passing through the gates each day for the 20 days of the show was 4500. This represents a total of 90,000 paving admissions who entered daily by the pass gates. Many of the concessions will go to Spokane at once for the National Ap ple Show. Among the principal ex hibits entered here which will leave today for Spokane are the exhibits of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, the Union Meat Company and the Oregon Agricultural College. meetings throughout the week.

She Stopped Her Son From Drinking St. Loots Woman Stopped Her Son From Drlnklnsr With a Simple Home Recipo That She Gave Secretly. She Tells What She Gave. A well-known resident of St. Louis, whose son had used liquor to excess for years, broke him of the habit, by using a simple home recipe which she gave secretly. In reply to the ques tion as to what she used she made the following statement: "I used a simple prescription which I mixed at home and it is as follows: To 3 oz. of water add 20 grains of muriate of ammonia. a small box of Varlex Compound and 10 grains of pepsin. I gave a teaspoon- ful three times a. day in his coffee. Any druggist can1 mix it for you, or supply these ingredients at very little cost. This recipe can be given secretly in coffee, tea or milk, or in the food, as it has no taste, color nor smell and Is perfectly harmless. I believe any mother or wife can do as I have and rid their dear ones of this awful habit." Adv, M. mm Mnamfc, fJmmmnm, v Washington. D. C. October 29. 1914. The war relief work in the United States should be concentrated and co-ordinated under one head, which can be accomplished by co-operation with the American Red Cross. This permanent organization, with its foreign affiliations, can and does forward funds and supplies donated by individuals, committees or associations to whatever country or for whatever purpose the donors desire. Only by utilization of such a co ordinating agency can confusion, overlapping, unnecessary expenditure be prevented and effective -aid accomplished. There will be no per manent record of the assistance given the countries of Europe involved in this war by the people of the United States, except by means of the records of the American Red Cross. These records, after the receipt and expenditure of funds have been audited by the War Department, are printed as official documents by Congress and placed in historical archives of the country. It is for this reason that the officers of the Red Cross urge all committees to co-operate with it. The Red Cross Station at Lipman. Wolfe & Co. will be ready to aid in this work of co-ordination, receiving funds and supplies as donors desire, and utilizing the American Red Cross as agency for their transmittal. Under the pressure of the actual necessity of co-ordination to meet the emergency, Lipman. Wolfe & Co. are representing in Oregon the American Red Cross, and have established The RED CROSS CLEARING-HOUSE This Clearing-House will act for all relief organizations that request its services. In the City of Portland it will call for any relief supplies, no matter how small. Or they can be sent to the store by messenger or from all points by parcel post. It will undertake the speedy dispatch of all contributed supplies to the authorities in charge of their forwarding. It will interfere with the work of no one in any relief activity, but will assist by responding promptly to every call for aid in such work. Its Purpose Is to Relieve Suffering in Every War-Stricken Country The American heart is big. At this moment the United States of America is the only great power left in the pursuits of undisturbed peace. It is the only country that can carry any adequate measure of relief to the thousands of women and children left without homes and without food in stricken lands. In Belgium alone the American Minister at Brussels reports millions of people will die unless prompt aid reaches them. The SUPPLIES NEEDED In response to our cables these replies have been received indicating the nature of supplies needed at once : . CABLE NO. 1 "Red Cross flannels, shirts, pajamas, socks, vests, pants, cardigans, mufflers, night shirts, blankets, dressing gonrns, tonels. all kinds medical and surgical goods." CABLE NO. 2 "Thousand thanks; what is needed is gauze bandages, adhesive plas ter, oil silk, absorbent cotton, aspirin, cocaine, laudanum, ether, quinine." "Enclosed please find my check for the American Red Cross war relief fund. I shall go a month without smoking so as to make this contribution." So wrote one man. "I shall go without candy, that supplies may be sent to the suffering." wrote a little girl. The same spirit extends all over the land, from Oregon east through Chicago, which is doing wonderful work, down through Boston to the end of Maine. Women are knitting and sewing. Children are knitting and sewing. Men are making sacrifices. The circle of activity is growing so large that now . WILL YOU HELP? Every contribution of supplies or money, no matter how small, is welcome. It is surprising how much good 1 0 cents will do. From all over the state we are receiving letters and telegrams asking for informa tion regarding supplies and money contributions. Donations are pour ing in.
