BERLIN, Dec. 11. (Special Wire
less.) "Help save Upper Silesia from
the Poles" is the slogan of the nation
wide agitation to raise funds and en
thusiasm to swing the plebiscite the
fatherland's way. Germany is enter
ing the last round of the finish fight
for Upper Silesia with grim earnest
ness and powerful propaganda.
In accordance with a signal from
the authorities, the whole German
press, except the red communist or
gans, is rooting for and featuring this
propaganda day after day. The en
tire country is liberally placarded
with Upper Silesian propaganda post
ers despite the shortage and the high
cost of paper. The waste baskets of
foreign correspondents are filling
with unsolicited "news service mat
ter." Berlin and other cities are under
going an intensive appeal for funds
raised by tag days. Band concerts and
popular demonstrations in front of
Ihe French embassy have been fea
tures of the campaign.
Big Propaganda Poshed.
The magnitude of the home propa
ganda may be gauged by the big
benefit performance, promenade, con
cert and dance in Reinhardt's big
circus playhouse recently. Operatic,
theatrical and moving picture stars
took part, and despite the high prices,
ranging from 60 marks for the top
gallery to 500 marks for the boxes,
and an Upper Silesian surtax of 40
marks on each bottle of champagne,
the playhouse, seating 40,000, was sold
out. Nearly 500,000 marks was raised
for the plebiscite funds.
All theaters and moving picture
houses are making an extra charge on
tickets for the Upper Silesian fund,
while department stores and all big
businesses have been mobilized into
syndicates for the collection of con
tributions to the fund.
Organized workers in the state
shipbuilding yards have voted to work
one hour overtime and contribute the
extra wages to the campaign fund.
These are a few typical instances of
the tremendous outburst of campaign
activity throughout Germany. Mil
lions are needed for carrying through
the elaborate and thoroughly worked
out offensive drive at the Upper
Silesian polls.
Entente, However, Firm.
However, the entente's irrevocable
insistence in the recent note, sug
gesting that non-resident Upper Sile-
sions should cast their votes in spec
ified places outside that province, has
taken considerable wind out of Ger
many's biggest propaganda sail.
The plan of battle on which Ger
many counted with high hopes ap
proximated certainty of its ability
to turn the trick of saving Upper Si
lesia, was to give all persons born in
Upper Silesia women of voting age
as well as men now residents in oth
er parts of -Germany an opportunity
to visit the place of their birth for
a "home week" outing absolutely free
of charge at plebiscite time.,!
Interscholastic Debate Starts.
PRINEVILLE, Or., Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) Students of the high school are
working hard "on the inter-scholastic
debate of the upper Columbia district,
consisting of Bend, Redmond, Prine
ville. Madras, The Dalles and Hood
River. The question being debated
here is "Resolved, that Oregon should
adopt a system of unemployment in
surance." Affirmative is Lester
Coshow and Clarence Mertchlng;
negative Elsie Grant and Hazen Cram.
Those winning out in the final de
bates in- this district will go to
Eugene' some 'time in the spring to

cial.) O. H. Fry was elected mayor of
Oakville; G. D. Wright, treasurer, and
S. T. McDonald, J. F. Libby and
Charles Harvey, councilmen at the

ECONOMY AND MERIT
Combined In Hood's Sarsaparilla, the
Blood Medicine.
In spite of the increased costs and
great scarcity of important roots,
herbs, etc., the standard of quality
and the quantity of Hood's Sarsapa
rilla have been faithfully maintained
and are today the same as when this
medicine was first perfected and of
fered to the public
A bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla will
average to last three or four weeks,
while others last but a week or two,
and some even less time.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is effective as a
blood purifying and tonic medicine
and also after the Flu, Grip, fevers
and other debilitating, blood-poisoning
diseases. It purifies the blood,
creates an appetite, and makes food
taste good. Adv.
