THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST 6, 1916. CALLS TWO CLASSES DANGEROUS TO GOOD OF THEIR COMMUNITY i . fXan m i M M Knocker and the Man Who, Thinking He Is Aiding, in. Fact Only Talking, J. L. DUFFY GIVES VIEWS Secretary of Ad Club Makes Beport on Convention of Associated Ad Club of -World; Adds Xdes. : "To mjr mind there art two classes of people who are dangerous to a. com munity the. knocker and' the man who la continually kidding himself along and thinking- he la doing- something, when In fact be is doing nothing but talk," said J. I Duffy, secretary of the Portland Ad club, in connection with his report of the annual conven tion at Philadelphia of the Associated Ad Cluba of the World. "A lot of us have been kidding our selves along thinking that "business will get baiter,' but doing nothing to make It better waiting for the other fellow to do it. There are enough of the right kind of men In the Ad club to arouse our citizens to a realization of the urgent needs of our community, and to bring co-operation out of chaos. Farmers Should Be Aided. "We can start a movement to put our farm lands on such a basis that a man can farm the land and make a decent living off of It, and not ibave to pay all his profits in Interest and taxes. There are enough of us to kill Off the knockers and make the truth ful booster again honored In the land. "Let this and similar organisations et themselves to so mould publlo pinion that the men of wealth es pecially be who made Ms "pile" by what the single taxer calls 'the un earned Increment of wealth, the rise In real estate values, who does not employ a good proportion of that wealth In enterprises that help In the Upbuilding of the community shall be come a pariah and an outcast from the society of real men who have red blood in their necks and are not afraid to stand up and say what they think.

We can do It. "We have already made e. splendid start in the matter of our scenic at tractions. The Berger-Jones "pictures sent east under our auspices have had a tremendous advertising value. They have made known to eastern people our great Columbia river highway and have drawn thousands of tourists to our state.

M.? Regular Prices Pathe News what I read In a headline on their ed itorial pages: "Portland Shames New York," The article went on to state how Multnomah county, Oregon, in which Portland is located, Is worthy of emulation by New York county and city in making their Riverside drive improvement. "Multnomah county has Just opened to the public a great boulevard 42 miles long and paved like a city street through the Columbia river gorge In the Cascade mountains," It went on. '"Portland and Multnomah county have spared no expense to take ad vantage of every scenlo opportunity offered by one of the most magnifi cent combinations of mountainsj canyon and river to be found any where In the world. They have thrown out flying buttresses to carry automo biles around sheer cliffs and have pierced mountains through with clois tered tunnels that no bit of nature's masterpiece may be lost to vision." 'The time for talking and waiting for some one else to start things is past. The time for doing ia here right now. If we are ever going to make anything of our city and s.ate. Let's peel our coats right now and get busy. Let's give freely ef our thought, time and efforts and. with the Ad club as a medium, all pull together for the upbuilding of our community. "The convention was an inspiration. It was a liberal education In business practices and methods, an enjoyable and helpful meeting with some of the really, big men of our day; men who are moulding publlo opinion and do ing things. There were things said and done and movements carried for ward at that convention that will leave their Imprint on the future his tory of our land. Those of uj in at tendance could not help but feel that that association of advertising men, working harmoniously together, could exert more Influence than any other group of men. in the country today. "Business men everywhere are real izing the fact that It is only the truth ful advertising that can build a per manent success. Tthe day is fast ap proaching when the newspaper, maga zine, billboard, or street car cards that carry ads of fake fire and bankrupt 6ales. of medicines that will cure can cer or consumption in 10 days, of get-rich-qulclt stock and mining schemes, or tndecent or suggestive movie ads will carry nothing else. The honest merchant will refuse to have his ad in such a paper. German Army Officer Compliments English "With the British Armies In France. (Via London). Aug. 6. (I. N. S.) A German army officer who brourht re inforcements from Verdun to the Brit ish front and Is now a prisoner, said: "Your artillery is better than any that I have seen before, even at Ver dun, and worse than anything I had suffered." All German officers are surprised that an army of amateurs, as they call the British, should produce such scien tific artillery work In so short a time. They also pay tribute to the daring of the field gunners. "They came up," said one speaking of the Mamets wood attack, "like charioteers In a Roman circus at full gallop. Many of their horses were killed but the men, reckless of danger, placed batteries In the open as though In the maneuvers. "The field observing officers are audacious almost to the point of fool hardiness. Before the ground of at tack Is cleared of Germans they walk calmly, sit down on the crest of a knoll commanding the Held of obser atlon and send back messages to a battery a mil or so behind. m Aged War Veteran Haled Into Court First Time in Life Calexico, Cat, July 80. To the Mothers, Wives, Sisters and Friends of the boys of Battery A. I have wanted to write a letter telling you how the boys of Battery A are getting along, and have decided that an open letter to The Journal would be the best way to reach all of you. Now, after our first month of mili tary service, the boys of Battery A, I believe, have made as good a record as any military organization In the serv ice. We wers the first battery of field j artillery mustered into the U. S. serv- j Ice at war strength. We were the first military organization to reach the border, and, despite the heat, we are having less sickness than any or ganization of any strength that I know of. Since we left Portland there has not been a single case of drunkenness, there has been no one in the guard house, and we have received nothing but praise from the regular army offi cers about us. You would hardly know the delicate, pale-face boys that reported to the ar mory on June 19, for now they are all tanned, straight and erect, and I be lieve that the military training that they are receiving is doing them more good than anything else in the world; and it was just what they needed. Cooks Instruct Begaiar. I am sorry to note Chat a very few of the boys have written home, com plaining of the food that they are re ceiving, and I am sure that no one could ask for more or better food than we are getting right now. We have three of the best cooks there are in the country with us, and they are so much of experts in their lino that the regu lar army Is sending men down here to learn from them. One of our men has been detailed as Instructor for the reg ular army bakery; so you will see that they are competent in every way to handle the regular army ration. The following is the menu for today: Breakfast Eggs, oranges, breakfast food, bread and buUer, with coffee or tea. Dinner Roast beef, mashed pota toes and brown gravy, cakes, ice cream and lemonade. Supper Clam chowder, sliced toma toes, cold slaw, apple pie and iced tea. Now, can you sea by that that the men are not suffering for the want of something to eat; in fact, I Chink some times some of them eat too much. The government at the present time is furnishing us with 250 pounds of ice a day, and through the generosity of Mr. Holman and tb people of Calexico we are buying about 460 pounds of ice more a day. which gives the men an ample supply of cool drinking water. TJse Funds for families. I see by the papers that the friends of Battery A are planning to give a card party or some other entertain ment to raise funds for the battery, to be applied to our mess fund. I don't Chdnk this is necessary at all, and I be lieve It would be a great deal better if any such funds would be given to the families of those left behind. We have with us Dr. Birney, of Port land, who is looking after the boys as far as their health Is concerned. He Inspects their tents, their clothes and their bodies every day, and I am Bure there is no one in civil life that gets tibe care that these boys do. The one thing that I think they miss more than anything else is the companionship of women, and I am sure that is more the cause of any complaints than anything else; and I believe that, if they had their friends from Portland here, they would all be satisfied and contented, from this end of tlbe line it looks as If It won't be long until the militia is or dered to move out of here, and I am sure that when that time comes that I will bring the boys back to Portland In a great deal better condition than when they left.

A LESSON ROADS Chicago Banker Will Return Home With Inspiration for New Campaign, LAUDS PORTLAND ENERGY ays Fanners of Zlli&ola Are Beginning to team Vain of Sard Surface Roads to Communities. It is with new Inspiration for carry ing forward the good roads campalfrn In Illinois that William O. Edens of Chicago will return to his home when the Knights of Pythias supreme lodge sessions are over; His trip over the Columbia river highway on Wednesday oonvlnced him anew of the courage of the western people tn undertaking such a stupendous task and linking river and forest and mountain into on com prehensive scenic boulevard. Mr. Edens Is chairman of the good roads committee of the Chicago As sociation of Commerce and It was largely through his Influence that a $1,000000 bond issue was carried through for permanent highways In Cook county. For that reason be ex tended his Wednesday trip to Hood River and studied the character of the road work all the way. He went up the Hood River valley for some dis tance over the proposed road around Mount Hood. Zas Story to Tell. "Now I shall have something new to tell the road workers of the middle west," said Mr. Edens yesterday. "I shall tell them of the boundless energy of the people of Portland In building a great highway to bring the most wonderful scenery of the north west Into such close touch with such a wonderful city. "It is hard to convince the farmers of Illinois that permanent road Im provement benefits anyone except the dealer In hard surfacing material and the railroads who profit from the freight haul. It vrta not, in fac un til the farmers began got ting automo biles of their own and especially until the truck farmers began seeing their competitors using motor wagons, that the idea sifted in that the original mud road could be improved upon. Now We are making some progress. Farmers Had Autos. "The most encouraging thins was when we sent a spela! train to help dedicate a .new highway In central Illinois. 15 mlleb from "he county seat, when we saw fully 600 automobiles from the nearby farms and villages, filled with enthusiastic people. "The new Dixie highway is a great thing and has the samo sentiment as the Columbia river highway. The key note was Bounded when J. M. Dickin son, former secretary of war In the Taft cabinet and now receiver of the Rock Island, declared to a party of southerners who had travoled from Florida over the highway that if such a road had been In existence prior to 1K61. there would have been no Civil war." Mr. Edens Is supreme representative from Illinois and was In charge of the official train bearing the supreme of ficers of the lodgo and temple ll wns In Portland once before hack in the eighties when he was traveling or ganizer for the liraketnen's brother hood. He later became a banker and is now engaged In that business.

He had to answer a charge of selling tobacco to a minor and was found guilty. A fine of $2g drove him into convulsions of tears. "I burled my wife June 6, he said, "and I have but $5 between me and the poor bouse. I have a little store out in Lents with a few dollars In the money till. That Is all. The stock you could take away In a wheelbarrow." The despair of the old man reached Judge Langguth. The sentence was remitted. Camp bell's store is at Ninety-ninth street and Fifty-seventh ave nue. He was accused of sell ing cigarette tobacco to a 13 year old boy Recruiting Stops In Washington Orders From Washington to Adjutant General Thompson Cause of Wonder ment on' Part of Rational Guardsmen. Seattle, Wash.. Aug. 5. (P. N. S.) National Guard officers in the state of Washington are wondering today why the federal government had sud denly issued an order not to continue recruiting longer for new militia companies. "Companies of militiamen are being formed over' the entire state. Adju tant General Maurice Thompson re ceived Instructions from the war de partment to cease recruiting. The order was dated July 26. In Seattle an engineer company and Battery A are effected, at Spokane an engineer company and three field artil lery batteries at Tacoma and Walla Walla, three batteries of field artillery, at llensburr a troop of cavalry and an ambulance corps.
