Several counties have already gone

vesterday. A telegram from George ft

at the meeting. The message follows:
"Sherman county oversubscribed. Will

lettera from hla brother overseas tell
ing him of the wonderful things the
Salvation Army had done lor mm.
Wish you success In your coming drive."
Kara Braaek Described.
rr. Wheeler described each branch of
the Salvation Army work in detail and
wove into that part which referred to
the overseas service a graphic story
of the Americans' part in the war.
"The beat loved workers along the
line." he said, "were the Salvation
Army lassies. They had no plan of go
ing Info the making of doughnuts aa a
business, but one time they had not
received their regular supplies and
there were hungry boys to feed.
"We can get some flour and sugar
and lard at the commissary.' said one.
'Suppose we make aome doughnuta.'
"And so they started that Job, and
when they did it they started the big
gest piece of work the Salvation Army
ever tackled filling two million Amer
ican boys with doughnuta.
"Barrages" of Ooogkouta Fired.
"I've seen them fire 'barrages upon
barrages of doughnuts on those boys,
but they never finished their Job. I've
seen the soldiers line up in the huts
and pass and pass until several thou
sand had received their portion and
then the supply would give out. I've
heard the lassie say, 'I'm sorry, but
that's the last,' and the boy would re
ply, 'Shucks, you're not half aa sorry
as I. Watch me get here earlier to
morrow.' "
Dr. Wheeler called- attention to the
fact that the aerving of soldiers was
not a new line of work for the Salva
tion Army. "It was just a case of doing
an old thing In a new way." he said.
"As one man told me. the Salvation
army has alwaya been popular with
the dom-n-and-outs and homeleaa and
here we were with 2.000.000 boya home
less and they furnished a home for
them. It was simply serving another
clasa of folka but it was the same old
service."
Caateea Is Established.
He first told of the hotel systems in
France and England, then compared
them with the ones operated at home
for the needy. Dr. Wheeler told of
visiting the giant hotel in Baccarat
where the casuals were moving back
and forth from the lines. At this place
the .Salvation Army installed a can
teen, provided the men with beds and
gave them their breakfasts. The same
treatment was given those who visited
the establishments at Paris. Liverpool,
Southhampton, London and other places
where hotels were operated for Ameri
can men only.
"In London alone were II b! Sal
vation Army hotels, most of them near
the big railway stations." he said.
"The on across from Victoria station
would accommodate 600 beds, while
another, Just a block and a half dis
tant, had rooms for 250. In England
the Salvation Army nightly put 16,000
soldiers to bed. I don't know what
vou think about it. but who would
have dreamed that the nickels and
dimes gathered on the street corners
were dolor thia great work?"
I'afortaaate Girls Get Aid.
. He referred again to the 15-cent beds
given stranded men in the cities In the
United Suites when aid is asked of the
organisation. At these, he said, a man
ran get a bath and have his clothes
washed.
"The -work." he continued, "doesn't
stop with the men. There are the homes
for young women, where, in these days
of high prices, girls can get get room
and board for 14 or 15 a week. Then
there are the rescue and maternity
homes.
-The Salvation Army is doing the
greatest work In the world for unfor
tunate womanhood. The girl who runs
away from home to hide her shame can
go to a Salvation Army lassie and ahe
will help her as a mother would."
Dr. Wheeler described the orphan
ages, referring in particular to the farm
In California comprising (40 acrea and
13 eottagea, where fatherless and moth
erless tots are cared for.
War Service Highly Talaed.
From this he passed to Industrial and
relief work in the slums, telling of
outings. Christmas dinners and penny
ice In summer, illustrating his points
with stories from his own experiences.
He also touched on the nursing service
given during the influenxa epidemic
The speaker emphasised the religious
aspect of the work. He pictured the
crowded huts in France where the
lassies often gathered at night to sing
their .old home melodies.
They were certainly appreciated by
the boys." he said. "It waa an In
stance of the ministry of true woman
hood along the battle front. Who will
aver estimate their value!"
The spirit of the men waa lauded.
"I Went over there thinking some men
were religious." Dr. Wheeler asserted.
"But after I had been along the lines
at dawn when the troops were waiting
to go over the top when men were
face to face with the divine I found
they are all alike. AH men pray."
He told of the bravery of the wound
ed, commending the Initiative and the
grit of the Yankeea and describing
famous battles he had seen. He also
pointed out - the comparatively small
sacrifice made by the country. In con
clusion he came back to his original
subject.
"The Salvation Army has not failed
its home. Its country or its God." he
declared. "Surely you don't have to
be aBked to subscribe. Tou will do
it."
Dr. Wheeler was for a number of
years secretary of the International
Association of Evangelists and was
pastor of the Humboldt church in Chi
cago, Pilgrim church at Pueblo. Colo.,
and the Metropolitan tabernacle at
Kansas City.

PASADENA. CaL, June 21. A warn
ing was uttered here Thursday by Pro
fessor John V. Cobb, director of the
college of fisheries at the University
of Washington, Seattle, with respect to
the fishing industry of the North Pa
cific In an address before the Western
Society of Naturalists at the convention
of the American Association fore the
Advancement of Science he Bald: ''
"The paramount need of the Pacific
coast fisheries, and in fact of all other
fisheries as well, is an accurate statis
tical base. At present the statistical
rinta. nilrrd and rjnblished are fre
quently inaccurate in some instances i
misleading, and in others incomplete
because made at too long intervals.
Those published by the United States
bureau of fisheries are of the latter
type, and they would amply answer the
purpose if the bureau Haa tunas ana
personnel sufficient to permit its man
Ing a complete statistical investigation
every year. Instead of at Intervals of
four or five years aa at present. Had
we at our command such full and ac
curate statistical data, we could easily
determine whether our fisheries were
Increasing, and apply the proper reme
dies, instead of groping in the dark as
at present.
"A word of caution should be uttered
here. A few of our fisheries are at
present in a declining condition, and the
danger is that if the investigation fall
Into the wrong hands and a very ambl
tioua scheme is followed, the patient
may die before the doctors have satis
fied themselves that he la really sick.
A complete life history of every com
mercial species would be an excellent
thing to have, but knowing so well the
difficulty experienced In securing ade
quate funds from the federal and state
governments for carrying on scientific
work, we had better be satisfied at
first with restricting our endeavors to
obtaining the essential and vital facts
upon which to base our measures for
conserving and perpetuating the fish
eries, rather than dissipate our ener
gies and funds in striving; after the
unattainable, or for something that
would take years to complete
"The migrations of aquatic animal
life and the problems connected there
with, which are of transcendent Ira
portance to our fisheries, and upon
which European investigators have
been working for some time with most
gratifying auccess ao far as the species
indigenous to their waters are con
cerned, form an almost virgin field on
the Pacific Our great runs of salmon,
cod, halibut, herring, sardines, tuna,
etc, furnish excellent material upon
which to work, and I look for much to
be done along these lines in the very
near future.
"A new survey of the known fishing
banks of this coast, together with
search for new banks, should be taken
up at the earliest possible moment.
Among deep-sea fishermen and navi
gators there have been current for
many years rumors of shoals and banks
lying off our coast which do not ap
pear on the official charts, and some of
these are circumstantial enough to
justify a thorough investigation being
made to establish their truth or falsity.
In the North Pacific we have at
present the most extensive known cod
and halibut banks In the world, and 1
believe that the area of such would bt
found to be vastly greater upon a more
thorough survey.
It Is especially Important for us ts
have charts showing the areas of bot
tom which are comparatively level and
free from rocks and other obstructions.
so that the otter trawl, which will soon
supersede the primitive hand and long-
line apparatus in our deep-sea fisheries,
may be operated successfully. Several
such areas have already been discovered
and charted, notably one off, the Oregon
coast, on which are to be found im
mense numbers of the delicious deep
sea sole.
"An important thing Is to determine
the rate of progress of salmon when on
their way to the spawning ground.
Were this known for each species it
would be a comparatively easy matter
to assure a clear passage for a school
of fish from the mouth of a river to
the spawning beds in the upper reaches
by the use of a progressive closed season."

BEAVERTON, Or, June 31. (Spe

special courses under the Smith-Hughes
law In the Beaverton high school this
coming season. Representatives of the
federal board of vocational education
have been in Beaverton during the past
week, looked over the plant here and
express approval at Its completeness.
They have made their recommendations
for changes and additions in order to
comply with Smith-Hushes require

to local conditions and will permit this
district to add two teachers to their
present teaching force at no additional
expense. Beaverton built a new high
school building two years ago and has
facilities for from 300 to 500 pupils,
while the average attendance has been
only about, one-tenth that number.

Kidney and Bladder Ailments
Banished by k ew Doses.
Corn Silk! The same "silk you see
protruding from the husk of corn, pro
duces a fine medicine for kidney and
bladder irregularities, when compound
ed with other simple drugs as in Balm-
wort Tablets.
Balmwort Tablets contain a powerful
extract of corn silk, which quickly re
lieves the inflammation and congestion
that causes such distress as pains in
back and hips, rheumatic twinges, nerv
ousness, severe headaches, accompanied
by frequent desire to eliminate, fol
lowed by scalding, burning sensation.
The patient is compelled to arise fre
quently to relieve painful pressure, even
though a scanty flow follows. The eyes
appear "bloodshot," the sleep is rest
less, and sometimes fever, followed by
chills, cause great unrest. It is unwise
to neglect such symptoms, when a few
doses of Balmwort Tablets can be tak
en for relief. Alice Trobough, 662T
