Oregon Club Women Advised
to Help Liberty Loan.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Point Out
That Government Needs Their
Aid.
OREGON clubwomen must stand by
the woman's committee and buy lib
erty bonds. If a ' woman ' has some
money she cannot use It to better ad
vantage. Hear what Dr. Anna Howard Shaw
says:
'The woman's committee is asked by
the various departments to urge the
state divisions to do certain bits of
work whenever the Government wants
drive. Now, the liberty loan drive
is before us, and we should devote
every energy to that. Do this by the
spoken word, by newspaper advertis
ing, by circulars, by every method you
know. You can do much by a house-to-house
visitation and by personal
olicitation.
"We are fighting to teach all the
nations of the world the lesson we our
selves have not fully learned, but
toward which we are aspiring. We
cannot build up one nation into a great
democratic force while there lives in
any part of the world a great auto
cratic power built upon the militarism
which seeks only for the destruction of
other nations. It cannot be done.
Army of Womrn Vital,
"The first thing women want to get
intotheir heads is this: that the army
of men is not one thing, and the army
of women another; that the army of
men are not patriots and the army of
women assistants to patriots. The army
of women is an integral part of the
army of the Government to carry on
the war, and is of as vital Importance
to the success of the war, as is the
Army in the field.
"We women are to do our part. We
are to take our share in this work. Be
fore you can get a billion dollars sold
in bonds, you have got to sell one
dollar's worth in bonds, and before you
jan sell a billion bonds you have got to
sell one bond. Now you and I can sell
one bond, and they will never get their
billions uutil we sell our ones. And it
ought to be the consecrated Idea of
every woman to buy a bond, if we have
got to sell something that we have got.
or haven't got, or to borrow something
we never expect to pay, and start out
in that way. Remember, when we get
the bond we have got something that
moth and rust cannot corrupt nor de
stroy, something that will last, some
thing that is ours.
Liberty Bond Is Tie.
"Now if you are able to buy one bond
and there is somebody who is not able
to buy any, don't buy two for yourself,
buy one for another. I am going to tell
you what I did .when the first bond
drive came. I had something I could
sell for a thousand dollars. I sold it. I
thought I would get a thousand-dollar
bond. Then I began to think of my
family. You know an old maid has
bigger family than anyone ese. I said.
Now I am not the only patriot in the
family. I have got a lot of youngsters
who cannot afford to buy bonds, but I
should be very mean to get a thousand
dollar bond for myself, and not have
the other members of my family get
any. And so I divided up. Every niece
and every grand-niece got a bond
and they are tied up to the Government
bv that little bit of a bond.
"I am glad the Government had to
call on the women in its financial flight.
They thought women had never known
anything about that, and never could
know-anything about it. Now they rec-
ognize that they cannot carry on
great big financial scheme without
getting the backing of the women. And
the women must prove to the Govern
ment that it was a great deal wiser
than it thought It was in calling on the
women."
War Pictures Will Be Shown

THE OREGON TRAIL,
Westward they cama through storms and
calm
With cheerful hearts and song.
O'er mountains rugged, crags and heights.
With hope they were niada strong,
'Twas courage led through valleys deep
Where rivers murmuring flow
Ever upon the trail the word
Was "Onward wa shall go."
To make the wilderness to smile
With fruit and golden grain
Tbat tbey might find content and peace
After the toll and pain.
They sought for homes 'mid this great West
For them no tears nor wall :
Oh, may they all find greater Joys
At the ending of the trail.

with a paper on the lives of Scarlatti

(Scarlatti), interpreting them in an
interesting manner. Miss Johns' vocal

del mlo dolce ardor" (Gluck). They
were much appreciated. Miss Brakel'a

pora), "Andantino" (Martini), "Sicili
enne et Rigaudon" (Francoeur). They
were Kreisler's own arrangements and.

touched them with his own brilliancy
and genius. Miss Brakel played them
well.
