Impressed with a plan to provide a
home garden for every family. Miss
Alice Joyce, assistant state club leader
for Oregon, is organising agricultural
club work in schools and Juvenile de
partments of the public libraries.
Miss Joyce is working under the di
rection of the extension department of
the Oregon Agricultural college and la
assisted by Parent-Teacher associations.
Khe Is provided with a great reserve
of enthusiasm for her work and a stock
of bulletins from the college that aid in
working out her plans.
Promotes Tbrlft Habit
"We must feed ourselves by having a
garden for every family," Miss Joyce
declared. "The home garden promotes
the habit of thrift, helps save money
to buy a home ; it Interests the entire
family and helps to make better home
neighborhoods. We can't grow boys and
girls where we can't grow plants.
"The pupils of the Portland schools
are- entering Into club activities with
great enthusiasm. The government of
the United States, realizing the Import
ance of home food production, offers as
sistance through Its club work. The
projects best fitted for city conditions in
connection with the public schools are
poultry, rabbits, home vegetable garden
ing and canning clubs.
"In the unity of purpose the cause Is
strengthened. Through the training of
officers, leaders are established. In
terest is stimulated and weaker stu
dents learn from the stronger.

Women Police on
Duty Day and Night
That Mrs. Esther Finkel will con
tinue to draw her widow's pension of
$17.60 per month was decided by Coun
ty Judge Taxwell after a thorough in
vestigation of the charges mace by
Mrs. Anna Miller that Mrs. Finkel
had sufficient resources aparz irom
th mnian and therefore not entit.cd
to it.. ........
The hearing was had In tha pension
bureau Thursday afternoon and a num
ber of witnesses Including Mrs. Miller,
vi ere sworn. "
At the conclusion . of her testimony,
Mrs. MUler ' said that If the decision
of the matter were left to her she
would not deprive Mrs. Finkel of her
pension. She admitted that she had
been angry with her because of a dis
pute regarding a raise In the rent of
her house. She displayed a willing
ness at the hearing to withdraw her
remarks, made at the time, but was
not called upon to do so.
Is EBgagement Ring
It was shown by the testimony that
the diamond ring worn by Mrs. Fin
kle's daughter and commented on by
Mrs. Miller is an engagement ring.
Other charges that the widow's son,
S. Stern, is the owner of a prosperous
business with a stock worth $10,000,
was admitted by Mrs. Miller to be a
statement made without sufficient Information.
Mr. Stern said that his stock Is
worth much less than that sum. He
a Ives his mother what money she
heeds from time to time for necessary
household expenses. He boards at
home, he said. With the money he
gives her she pays the expenses of the
home and provides for another son
who Is a patient at the tuberculosis
hospital at Salem.
The daughter also stays at home. She
earns $8 per week, her mother testi
fled. This sum, the mother said. Is
turned over to her each week but ex
pended for the girl for clothes and
medical attendance.
Mrs. Finkel has two small sons, 10
and 8 years of age, half brothers of
the others.

Moulton. counsel for Frame, said Sat

W. Olcott, candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, takes a wal
lop at the "hidden forces" which he
says are using Bede as mouthpiece In
connection with their opposition to Ol
I cott's candidacy.
Bede is editor of the Cottage Grove
Sentinel and an avowed supporter of
Gus Moser for governor, but he has
been writing letters to Olcott. endeavor
ing to draw Olcott into some position
wnicn might detract from tils candidacy
in nis latest letter, Bede wants to
know if Olcott has had anything to do
wun tne Non-Partisan league. Replying
Olcott described Bede as "an old-time,
stand-pat, dyed-in-the-wool party Doll
tlcian," whose letters are not sent In
sincerity, but merely as part of the
game of the higher up "hidden forces
which are resorting to all sorts of tac
tics to defeat Olcott. Mr. Olcott's letter
says :
Candor Characterizes Beply
"I have your open letter of the eighth,
copies or wnicn i note from the news
papers have been addressed to Walter
M. Pierce, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor, and to ex-Gov
ernor Oswald West, . askinir whether
have been flirting with the Non-Parti
san league and whether I am expecting
lis support ior governor.
"There is no particular reason whv
snouia continue to answer your 'onen
iciiers. xou Deing an old-time, stand
pat, dyed-in-the-wool party politician,
your letters are without doubt addressed
to me not in a spirit of sincere Inquiry
to learn my stand or views on any
public question, but rather out of animus
in the hope that I may be brought Into
some statement that will prejudice my
candidacy before the people. Indeed,
your open letters are not. I think, even
the creation of your own brain, but
rather inspired by the hidden forces
that oppose my candidacy and which use
you as a cloak behind which to hide
their faces.
"Nevertheless, waiving all the fore
going, here is your answer :
"I have not, at any time, discussed the
Non-Partisan league or its program, by
word or letter, with any representative
of the league. I have not been solicited
to support the league, nor have I so
licited Its support.
