:CH00L MOVES ON RAILS
Iluikifn: Follows Logzrrs Around
and Has 14 Pupils.
EUGENE. Or.. March 27 (Special.)
F. F Cooper, rural school supervisor
of Lane county, who has returned
from a trip of inspection of schools
up the Mohawk valley, reports that
the portable school on a railroad car
above Wendling is in a flourishing
condition and that there are 14 pupils
in attendance.
This school building is moved about
on the logging railroad of the Booth
Kelly Lumber company above Wen
dling. Children of the loggers and
other employes, of the company are
the pupils and Mrs. Delphia Taylor,
whose husband is one of the loggers,
is the teacher.
As the camps are moved the school
house is taken along and shunted off
on a sidetrack where it remains as
long as the loggers are working in
that vicinity. It has already been
moved a number of times since it was
built a year or so ago. While the
room is necessarily narrow, being
built to fit a set of railroad trucks,
it is well furnished, well lighted and
has all the conveniences of the aver
age rural school.

"l demonstrated by Billy McGregor,
, of Good Samaritan hospital, who pro-
...pels h: own vehicle to and from
school every day in record time.
-.1 Although a' hospital patient for
-many months as the result of two
' . accidents. Billy is as lively as any
" ' red-haired American boy of 12 years
ought to be, and is planning soon to
select a late model artificial leg
1 with which to break speed records.
. Being in the hospital Implies no
' . i great hardship, according to Billy,
'"although he intends to take no fur
.v'j ther chances of coming back. The
first time was some years ago when
he played on the railroad tracks and
?got run over; the second was brought
.?
about by burns, when he pulled a
kettle off the stove at home, and
which necessitated skin patching.
Since his hospital treatment re
quires only a few minutes every day,
Billy has time to look out for his
associates in the . children's ward,
and acts as an assistant to the nurses.
One of his functions is performed
at meal-time, when he helps to feed
some of the children that are too
young to act for themselves.
On occasions Billy goes up to the
roof garden for recreation, or else
goes out into the hospital park, where
he is often seen conversing with the
gardener, whittling, or engaged in
other amusements.
To keep up with his studies Billy
goes to the Couch school, where he
is in the fourth grade. The school
WORKERS DESERT LEGION
Bnehner Sawmill Incident Cause of
Dissatisfaction.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. March 27.
(Special.) The readjustment of
laborers' wages in the Coos Bay mills,
resulting from a demand made by-
members of the Loyal Legion of Log
gers and Lumbermen at the Buehner
sawmill the fore part of March, was
adopted after a delay of nearly 20
days and the minimum for common
labor is now 15.30 per day. When the
demand was made of Henry Buehner,
manager of the Buehner sawmill, he
replied that the men were not effi
cient and the employes appealed the
question to Henry Buehner, owner of
the business.
Since the Buehner incident a num
ber of Loyal Legion men from that
mill have joined the Timberworkers'
union. The timberworkers have an
organizer in the field and intend se
curing enough desertions from the
Loyal Legion camp to weaken the organization.
MARK DOOMED, IS BELIEF
German Money 3Iay Be Worthless
for Buying Foreign Products.
BREMEN. Germany. President
rntmir of the Bremen cotton ex
change says he believes the time is
not far distant when it will be utter
ly impossible for Germans to buy com
modities abroad with German marks.
In a conference with Berlin govern
ment officials here he said: "Until re
cently we have been able to buy
American cotton with American dol
lars that we picked up in nearby neu
tral countries at the best possible rate
of exchange. We must not cease buy
ing cotton so long as the means re
mains at our disposal, for the German
cotton industry is at present operat
ing to the extent of 30 per cent of its
capacity. Of every two bales of cot-
ton we import, only one must be used
to clothe our people, the other must,
be converted into finished product
the sale of which abroad will provide I
us with means to pay for both hales."

The Greatest Problem in the Home
The Problem of Clean Clothes Solved by the
Eden Washing Machines
ASKED TO NAME THE GREATEST PROBLEM in the home, the
housewife will doubtless say the problem of clean clothes,
and upon the adequate solution of this problem greatly de
pends the health, the appearance and even the respectability of
her family.
To keep her family supplied with the necessary amount of fresh,
healthful garments and linens means one of two things that she
either has to spend at least one day out of every seven over the
wash tub, or she has to employ someone to do it for her. But
there is a third and a better way it is
THE EDEN WAY
With this ideal mechanical laundress always at attention in the
home, ready to serve day and night whether on regular duty or
in an emergency when illness in the family makes the linens run
low, or guests diminish the supply of best tablecloths and doilies
all labor and worry and embarrassment are banished by the EDEN
service. The soiled things are thrown into the EDEN washer
i i 1 1 .i
as easily ana as quicwy as mey
would have been thrown into the
clothes hamper, the lever is turned,
and, without putting her hands into
water, the clothes are washed fault
lessly while the woman is seeing to
other things.
