A group of patriotic citizens of St. Paul, of which William F. Lewis and J. W. Hamilton are active members, has started a movement to organize throughout the United States a Me morial dav association, decide on a fit' ting National emblem for the day, and to have adopted and taught in the puD lie schools a patriotic creed. The principal object of the associa tion is to preserve the memorial tone of the day, which, movers point out, has become largely a holiday and one of sport. Mr. Lewis is secretary of the association, which was founded by Mr. Hamilton, and he is maintaining headquarters at 705 Commerce building, Et. Paul. He is spreading the propa ganda for the formation of the asso ciation, which has gained headway in Bt, Paul and other Minnesota towns and cities. In a circular sent broadcast he writes: "The ranks of the old soldiers are growing thinner, and with their pass ing the tendency is to make Decoration day largely a holiday, and we are los ing the memorial tone which should never be absent from Memorial day. Support Is Asked. "Please unite, therefore, in our ef forts to establish a simple emblem, the wearing of which on Decoration day will show to all observers that we have in mind the memories of the sailor and soldier dead of our Nation from itj foundation, by giving it your sup port and using your influence to make the idea as widespread as possible. "J. W. Hamilton, of St. Paul, found cd this movement in 1911, adopting as the emblem a sprig of evergreen as visibly expressing our memory of the meaning of the day. Thousands of newspapers printed favorable comment on the plan, and a number of state superintendents of education and others have given.it publicity. "The object of the Memorial Dav Association is to unite all the various patriotic associations of the country to give greater effect to Memorial day, with the hope that the association and emblem will become as widespread as tne JNation itself." The Memorial Day Association, of Bt. Paul, was organized by William F. Lewis, Adjutant. Camp Merwin W. Carleton, Army of the Philippines Hugo V. Koch and Charles Dolan, of worm Jdagiey camp, united Spanish War "Veterans, and incorporated April 1, 1912. by the Patriotic Societies of St. Paul. The association included the Grand Army of the Republic, the Army of the Philippines, United Spanish War veterans. German-American Veterans' Association. Sons of Veterans and also the women s auxiliaries of the patri otic organizations, and has for its aim the encouragement of the proper ob servance of the day, as well as all other patriotic days. Emblem Is Adopted. The emblem adopted is a sprig of evergreen tied with a tri-colored red, white and blue ribbon. Some 25,000 of these emblems were tied and furnished to the school children of St. Paul in 1913. In the circular sent out Mr. Lewis calls -upon the fellow patriots of the South to take hold of both ideas and all patriotic societies throughout the JNation are urged to help in perpetu ating a proper observance of the day, Small contributions from patriots and patriotic societies throughout the coun try are relied on to stand the expense oi tne nation-wide organization work. A letter sent out by Mr. Hamilton, originator of the Memorial Day Assoc! ation idea and the proposed creed, also being sent broadcast, writes: "The time is ripe for a National pa triotic creed for the children of the Nation. I wrote out a rough draft when the idea came to me, but let It be understood, please, that a National patriotic body should, through a com mlttee. prepare the creed and have it approved by the President, thus giving official sanction of the Nation s head. In this way no race or creed could pos eibly take exception to its being re peated weekly or dally in our day schools and weekly in the Sunday schools of the country. Benefits Are Forecast. The creed adequately written. Mr. Hamilton points out. might make for a more perfect amalgamation of the varl ous race strains, and he adds: "If the committee would draft parag-ph with special reference to an international point of view so that the children in every nation would re peat a daily recognition that the rights of their country ended where the rights of other nations began, it would surely have a beneficial effect in time. The knowledge that the children of th world were repeating daily a creed breathing good fellowship for all othe children would in itself be an inspira tion." PERSONAL MENTION. "E.

Everything at Temptingly Reduced Prices! Xeedo of SOO.OOO Residents Pat at $120- 000,000 by D. E. Slmonion, With Wages of Oae-talrd. A payroll in the state of $43,000,000 a year would be possible according to figures compiled by D. E. Slmonson, former sales manager for a local man ufacturing company, if the people of the state would only insist on home made goods. Such a payroll, Mr. Simon- son declares, would mean prosperity and a steady increase in demand for labor. The Oregon manufacturers' slogan. Patronize Home Industry. has but shallow meaning with the great maj ority of Oregon families," Mr. Simon- son says. "The Oregon consumer needs enlightenment as to the lasting bene ficial results which would accrue to the state of Oregon if the slogan was put into practice by even a small ma jority of those living in the state." Mr. Slmonson uses the 1915 census. giving Oregon a population of 800,000, as a basis for compiling his figures. On a basis of 200,000 homes, he fig ures that each family. will use an aver age of $30 a month for groceries, amounting in a year to $72,200,000. He counts $40 a year for suits and over coats for each person, making $32,000,- ooo, ana two hats for each person at an average cost of $3 each, which amounts to the sum of $4,800,000. The bill of the state for underwear, nightgowns and pajamas is figured at $4,800,000 a year, and that for shirts and waists $4,000,000. Other items he figures as costing as follows: Collars and neck ties $2,600,000, shoes $6,800,000, and hosiery $1,800,000. All the Items enumerated are being manufactured in Oregon," Mr. Slmon son says. "The figures cited represent grand total of $129,000,000 a year spent for those items, which is esti mated to be 60 per cent labor. If only one-third of the above-mentioned prod ucts which we use every day were made n Oregon, which can be easily pur chased by insisting on Oregon-made goods, the payroll from those necessi ties would amount to approximately $43,000,000 a year." $35.00 Birdseye Maple Colonial Princess Dresser (J- Q rZf reduced to pXstOvJ $26.50 Leather Upholstered Library Chair reduced 80 $45.00 Beautiful Mahogany Napoleon Bed, massive, djIQ OC reduced to ipXi7rJ $70.00 Solid Mahogany Napoleon Bed, extra heavy, tQ Ct OK reduced to -OO.J $85.00 Mahogany Secretary, leaded glass doors, re- (IQQ TCX duced to ... .JpO-t.

Mrs. Riley was born December 28, 1895. and married on April 10, 1914. She went to Magill. Nev, to make her home, but returned to Oregon several months ago on account of 111 health. She was a member of the Royal Neigh bors of America and of the Re bekahs of Kewberg. Seneca Kouts, who took an active part in the opposition to the gag-rule and alleged ballot-stuffing tactics by which the Elmer L. Amidon, John L. Day and Albin L. Clark combination Thursday night forced through the election of Mr. Day as permanent chair man of the new Multnomah County Re publican Central Committee, made a statement yesterday urging a concert ed movement by Republicans "to re move this disgrace from the name of our party and the county central com mittee. In this statement he said: "To the many members of the Repub lican party gathered at the meeting of the county central committee In the Central Library Thursday -night, the conduct and methods adopted by the Day-Amid on-C lark combination to elect Mr. Day chairman are revolting. Objections Are Overrated. "When the credentials committee was appointed, the different delegates handed in their credentials. Among the list were three proxies which David Mosessohn, one of the members of the credentials committee and a lawyer of standing, immediately told them did not entitle the holder thereof to a vote in the meeting, as it is a well-established principle of law that an elective officer cannot delegate his voting power in an assemblage to another. The majority of the credentials committee, however. overruled Mr. Mosessohn s objections, stating that there were only three proxies, and that it would be best to allow them to vote in the Interest ot harmony. "After an Investigation of the creden tials the committee reported that there were 218 members present entitled to vote, including the three proxies. When tne vote was counted lor temporary chairman it was ascertained that there were 224 ballots in the box. and further there were seven persons who had handed in credentials who did not vote, Amidon Was "Bur." "At the time the vote was being taken. Mr. Amidon was very busy in the room obtaining proxies, among which was one for himself. Mr. Cameron, the retiring chairman, would immediately refer these to 1. LemarcK Krause. a member of the credentials committee, which, however, had been discharged, and upon Krause's ap proval would rule that the proxy was entitled to a vote. There were, How ever, only about five or six of these. which would about make up lor tne number of vorsoni who did not vote after handing In their credentials. This indicates to any fair-minded per son that there must have been 11 bal lots placed In the box wrongfully. "After the temporary organization was effected. Albin L Clark, who, per haps through his familiarity with bal lots, Mr. Day had placed upon the com mittee for election of secretary, im mediately moved that the temporary organization be made permanent. Al though when Mr. Day put th question there were a number of men -immediately on the floor for the purpose of debating it. he refused to recognize them and called for ayes and noes, al lowing not only the delegates present, but the audience to vote, and although the response was equally pronounced on both sides, ha declared the motion carried and himself elected permanent chairman of the committee. Republicans Urfced to Act. "I have had numerous telephone calls from, and interviews with, members of the committee today, who prior to that time were supporters of Mr. Day, and they have assured me that they are opposed, to such high-handed methods of gag rule, and that at the next meeting of the committee they will en deavor to see that the proceedings are conducted in such a manner that the Republican party will not be placed in disrepute and disgraced, and they have promised their support in an n deavor to set aside and vacate the un- lawful proceedings by which Mr. Day declared himself elected permanent chairman. "I hope some of the Republican real- era of this communication will get to gether end see that a movement is launched to remove this diseraca from the name of our party and the county central committee.

Neal, head of the 65 Neal institutes in the United States and the originator of a treatment for the drink habit, is at the Benson Hotel on his way from Des Moines to San Fran cisco. Dr. Neal is welcoming the advent of Idaho, Colorado, Oregon and Washing ton into the "dry" columns. He says he is strongly in favor of prohibition that will prohibit. Although he says be does not believe in the drink habit and has been an enemy of intoxicating liquor for many years, he asserts that more patronage comes to his institutes established in dry territory than to' those in wet sections. "The reason for this," he said, "is that instead of being merely tipplers, those who desire to drink in dry terri tory are compelled to drink from the Jug or the bottles." George W. Derr, manager of the Portland Neal Institute. which has been established at Broadway and Col lege street for five years, will continue to have charge of the Northwest terri tory. Dr. Neal says.

POWDER WE AS IN SHOES' HAS GUNS Foots Ease to Be Added to Equip, ment of Hospital Corps at Fort wayne. Under the above beading the Detroit Fr? Prttt, among other things says: "The theory is that soldiers whose feet are in good condition can walk further and faster than soldiers who have corns and bunions incased in rawhide. The Government's foot powder order is regarded as the last word in the scientific outfitting of the defenders of the flag." The English, French and Allied Troops constantly make use of Allen's Foot Ease. It takes the friction from the shoe and rests the feet. Foot Powder, shaken into the shoes of soldiers, has long been in use in the German army, and Uncle Sam's adoption of this form of treating and easing the feet, emphasizes the testi mony of the millions of people the world over, who are shaking Allen's Foot Ease, the antiseptic) powder, into their shoes, and using it in the foot bath, as the only practical and lasting treatment to ease and prevent sore feet.
