THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF
THRIFT STAMPS SOLD BY CHILDREN
J. A. Churchill, etate superintend
ent of i.bllc instruction! now has
more than SOO school children of
Oregon enrolled in his Junior Rain
bow regiment, to be composed of
the ftrst 1000 school children who
sell at least $50 worth! of thrift
stamps each. The names J the sev
enth hundred to report were com
piled at the superintendent's office
. yesterday.
Stamp sales by Oregon school chil
dren, by the time the regiment is
filled out, will total in r excess of
130.000 in' sales by members of the
regiment, and net counting the sales
of less thatv ?50 by other children.
The regiment alone would represent
$30,000 if each pupil" had sold no
more than $50 worth of stamps. But
many have multiplied that amount
many times over, one boy selling
$727 worth," hence it is probable
that the fegiment of 1000 children
will represent sales of nearly
$100,000.

The home service section of the
Red Cross, in its mission of rendering
every possible aid to worthy famines
and dependents of the soldiers, while
the Red Cross it standing behind the
"boys" on the battlefields and in the
cantonments, has brought happiness
and relief into many families in Sa
lem already and its work is going on
quietly and without Ostentation and
with inci-eased vigor every day. One
instance, just as an example of the
results of Its work. Is cited where the
family of two brave boys wh'o have
gone to the front has just been
plungd into sorrow and Is on the
verge of want by reason of the sud.

These hoys one 16 and ttte other

probability.' are Ignorant of the dis
tressful circumstances which their
loved ones at home, have been
plunged. The father has spent all
of his saving in his fruitless search
for regained health. The home serv
ice section of the Red Cross, having
been apprised of the circumstances
having taken the matter op with the
proper authorities with the prospect
of securing a monthly allotment of
not less than 180 for the mother and
little brothers and sister of the two
bovs, who, doubtless forgot to pro
vide Insurance or other relief for
their loved ones In the belief that
they were not In want.
'Positions Are Procured- .
Another family, which has but re

consequence, unconsciously forfeited
their monthly allowance of 25 which
they were receiving fro mthe government.-

cumstances,. Through the medium of
the home serf Ice section.' which pro
cured positions for twp members
of the family, besides generous alot
tnents from the government, this
family is not only relieved of want
but is placed in comfort and unon a
substantial , basis. There are huhfl.
reds of instances Jn which the home
service has advanced money to the
families and dependents of soldiers,
both hi shane of loans and outright
gifts,, according as the necessities re
quire, and an entire Issue of the
paper could be devoted to instances
of Individual ministrations which the
general public Is altogether oblivious
of. ...
The home service section Is carry

These Pecretarios are given a spec

Wheat Hoarding in
Nebraska Investigated
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 28. Circu
lation of the report that Louis Fell
vock wealthy farmer of Beatrice,
Neb., had allowed several thousand
bushels of wheat to go to ruin oz
one of his farms, has led to the re
ceipt of other complaints of grain
hoarding in Nebraska, according .to
a statement made today by a mem
ber of ihe state council, of defense.
A thorough Investigation will he
made, it is said. '
What action, If any. will be taken
in Fellwock's case, will probably be
decided 'Saturday, when he will be
called before the council for the sec
and time to explain why he ia said
to have permitted grain to go to
wtste. '0 -
"I do not believe that Fellwock
wants the kaiser to win the war or
that he maliciously allowed ttie
wheat to go' to rnln, but somethfn
ought to be done to teach him and
all . others who hoard wheat that
such action will not be permitted in
these tryin times." one member of
the council declared.

II Is learned that the issue is now

is imperative as a defensive , meas
