The vogue for laee has brought Gifted Gus Lands In Portland Jail "Gifted Gus'" Levy, whose brltf and colorful career In Ashland amused the native more than any thing which has happened for months, landed In a Portland jail af ter a couple of days in the Orego.i metropolis. Levy came here from San Francisco to take a job tickling the Ivories at the Vlnlng theatre, but divided his time between telling what a good man he was, how much the glf s loved him and how many Mason degrees he had successfully sailed through. Everybody with whom he came In contact had the'r life made a little brighter by the laughter which his mountain of conceit engen dered. Finally he offended the Ash land spirit of some local booster and lost two front teeth. He demanded police protection and wanted an of ficer detailed to accompany him wherever he willed to roam over our fair city. This proving Impractical, he decided that other climes looked fairer and left for Portland. The rest of tho story may be gleaned from the following narrative from the Portland Oregonlan: "When Tom Sweenes, city detect ive, yesterdny asked G. H. Levy, peri patetic musician from San Francisco, why he did not join the army when he found no work to do, Levy Is said to have given utterance to this: 'I'm too clever to Join the army.' That was enough. Levy Is now In jail. Levy appeared first at police head quarters the day before yesterday and asked if there were any Masons In the station.- Motorcycle Morris gave Levy the price of a meal. Yes terday Levy went to the station again and asked for more Masons. At de tective headquarters a number of Masons declared him to be an Impos tor."

It is both a patri otic and humano service that is ren dered by every citizen who becomes a member of the American Red Cross." Ex-President Roosevelt says: "I hope that all tho patriotic and hu mane men, women and children of the Un'ted States who are able to do so will give it (the Red Cross) their support by becoming members of our national organization." Why Your Country Needs You as a Member of the ISed Cross. Do you know that as an American you have the right to become a mem ber of the Red Cross? That by the payment of small annual dues, and a little unnc'fish service, you can sup port your government In Its humanlr tarlan work? Membership Imposes no obligation of personal service either in time of war or peace. Com paratively few persons can serve the Red Cross in tho field, but everyone can serve at home by becoming a member, by getting his friends to join and by spreading a knowledge of the work, and by partlc'patlng In the work of the local chapter. Your help Is needed now, to sup port Its field and base hospitals, Its doctors and nurses, and to provide the necessities of military and civil Ian relief. Your local lied Cross Is now mak ing sheets, pt'low cases, pajamas, nightshirts, bandages, etc. It Is all simple work, but quantities are need ed. We really need you. Your join ing tho Red Cross does not obligate you to anything. If you cannot spare time to work, show your patriotism by becoming a member, as your dol lar will help In purchasing supplies.
