CRT THE RED CROSS MOOD IS f kURGED bybigshow manager Whole Hatful of Money for Willamette Chapter is Purpofe of "Country Fair" Which Is Dated for March 22 and 23 Startling F eatures Preparing I t s H to' yon: Kpt the Red Cross f'Bummare around in your attic, -our woodsihed. basement or other iTorake place ami bring out that yet discarded piece or furnl- turf. "lO ---' , I coins, croiiniig. PJiw-, or uuj tliinir of that nature that you do not floed. ' " if you have nothing of this sort, brine a "kitten, cat. dog. puppy, tricken. hen with chickens, canary birds rabbits, pips. cows, calves, torses, colts, esss, fruits, canned or otherwise, vegetables.- or anything that you can epare in the livestock or food line. Get them together and he prepare-to bring them to Salem on or be fore March 22 to place them on sale jot the benefit of Willamette chap ter of the American Red Cross. For 'Willamette chapter is going to pull off genuine "Country Fair" at the armory, on March 22 and 23, and 'treat preparations are tinder way to Bake of it the biggest success that ?Sat ever happened. ;4 There Is a Reason. Thirls not going to be any half tray country fair proposition. It is roinf to be full fledged In every re ipect. from the old-fashioned or down to date country store, .with the Browbial Reuben sitting out out In front, whittling and "chewin his tni." and all of the signs, displays, tc.i that are characteristic of the country store yon read about in the j Whitcomh Riley, Josh Billings. Mark Twain and Rill Nye stories. There will he everything Imaginable on sale and the store will be in fhare of a typical Yankee or Mis gonri cross-roads storekeeper. There is a reason for this new $nd novel departure. Willamette chapter needs the money and it pro Ke to raise nothing less than $10. 900 in this manner. It will not be Mtisfied with less than $15;000 and can get along pretty well with $20, 00. So. don't he a laggard, slacker or iaitter, but begin right now to lf into the "Red Cross mood." as Mrs. J. A. Carson says, and be pre - ired to do your part, either In pro ving the stock of "merchandise" for the store or be on hand with your parse open to patronize the patriotic Dterprise generously. Tes. and the country store is not o!ng to be the only feature of pleas ure, surprise and profit. Not by a jutfid.,. There Is going to be a Dig "Country Fair; in. every way the nam suggests or Implies. Among the Uz features of amusement (also profitrwill be the auction sale, con duced in the old-fashioned way and t7 a dyed-in-the-wool auctioneer who knows how to conduct the af fair la a manner that will at the am time, please and satisfy yon. j : It's Wide Open. There will be booths of all kinds, wherein will be on' display and for sale everything Imaginable k from a fanary bird or mess of kittens or tripe to a team of draft horses, har ness, wagon and all. There will be tbe games of chance, conducted in an innocent and highly amusing way, do!l baby rarksi cane racltf, fortune tellers, side shows, and there will be fcarkers, sharpters, surethlng guys and such galore. 1 The country store will be organ M and pulled off under the direc aon of Mrs. Irwin Griffith. The eating emporium, for every well ondnrted country fair has its ".hot dnf," ham-and," etc.. feature and the one which will be put on by Mrs. Thomaa Burrows upon this occasion will be of the first class order. Reg filar noonday meals will be served at tWs restaurant, on both Friday and Saturday. March 22 and 23, and a dinner will be served in cafeteria itTle on Friday. eyenlnr. Everything ill take place at the armory and it will be pulled off in the latest ap proved styled Aside from the two features Just mentioned, the t whole country fair Management and arrangement falls pon the capable shoulders of Mrs. J. ' A. Carson, and anyone who thinks that be Is going to fall in this or anything else that she un dertakes has 'another guess coming. For there Is no such work as "fall" ia Mrs. Carson's vocabulary and she ;ays she can't afford to learn ' any : aew words at this day and stage, of tb game- especially the war game. Team Work Urged. However satisfied Mrs. Carson Is that the country fair Is going to be a jnecess, it Is going to take a whole t of work to pull it off and this V hag to be "team work" with a - "T." There has got to be lots of &TL TneMtvA- i-a.lt am f r)A 5t of everybody identified or inter ested In any way In the Red Cross work, or Interested In its success, nleh, la a large measure, means the cceg of the war lor America and r allied countries, must needs "get a the Red Cro mood and gtt out na hustle and boost for all he or Je Is worth. 5 ' A small 4.. . . a . a tam uuti in thf- -east nulled off a ik . 7 1Kir and lblic auction for If b-Tfrfu of the Tied Cross recently . r Triangle Presents MARGERY WILSON In 'Flames of Chance' Id From th T.Aitt.'

Well, if Willam ette ehapter does net realize $20,000 out of this country fair it will be too bad; if it does not get $15,000 it will be a shame, and if it does not secure not lens than $10,000 it will be little short of a disgrace. Hustle 1.4 Xeresnry. It Pimply means that every Red Cross auxiliary to Willamette chap ter has got to get on its working duds and get a hustle on: this ap plies to every auxiliary but more es pecially those auxiliaries which have not as yet arrived at the "self sustaining" stage, for the chapter simply must have the money to kec up its splendid record of great achievement and this 'is a most ex cellent opportunity to secure it. The country auxiliaries have always come to the front In every movement of this nature and the chapter offi cers have not the slightest doubt that they can be depended upon in this emergency and necessity, and It will be up to the city, town and community auxiliaries to keep pace with the outside organizations. . So, from now'on, everybody must think "Country Fair" and act and breattTe "Country Fair" and help to make Willamette, chapter's coming Red Cross "Cop ntry Fair" the big gest and best success of anything that, has ever been attempted here or any place else, which, by the way, is saying a whole lot, for they cer tainly do things right whenever they "get aroused" in this neck of the woods. Get busy now, call up Mrs. Carson at headquarters for particu lars, and assignment to duty and, whatever you do, get the Red Cross mood. ; OUCH! LUMBAGO!

MONTANA JUDGE RESIGNS BEFORE IMPEACHMENT C. L Crum Admits He Was Careless in Criticizing Government DISLOYALTY IS DENIED Legislative Board to Decide Whether Impeachment Shall Proceed HELENA. Mont.. March 11. Governor Stewart today telegraphed the board of managers, of the Mon tana house of representatives on the Crum impeachment case, and the senate committee in charge of the case, to meet here Thursday to con sider whether the impeachment shall proceed. Judge Charles L. Crum of Forsyth whose appearance before the bar of the upper chamber was ordered by the Montana house last month, to day filed his resignation as judge of the fifteenth judicial district- with the governor. Judge Crum is said to b'e -critically ill. Disloyal acts and utterances were charged by the house. In his letter of resignation. Judge Crum says in part : "This action on my part is not a confession that I have been guilty of any crime. In fact, I have vio lated no law and have not been guilty of any- malfeasance or mis feasance In office. "My action simply means that there is a limit to human endurance and tha't I have reached that limit. "I also feel that a trial of my case would simply provide an opportun ity for certain' peoole to pose before the, house and tin the press as super patriots. It would Inflame the pub lic mind, and cost the state of Mon tana many thousands of dollars. It would do this at a time when the Mate needs every available dollar and when the people, instead ,.of fighting amre bmselves, present a so'id fr- to tv common enemy. "It m9v be possible that I have made some careless and reckless statements or criticisms of the pol icy adopted and followed by th present administration, but I hare never meant or Intended at any time to be in the least disloyal to the American government."

Feb. 28. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press. Russia can be saved "only if. In spite of foul unchristian rulers, the power could be taken, by a 'mystical con centrated military character." ac cording to Mme. Olga Novlkoff. for many years one of the foremost Rus sian political wgrlters. Mme. Novikoff, who makes hr home in England, has written an ai ticle for the Pall Mall Gazette un der the heading V "Mystic Russia." lw which she asserts that "anybody who has studied Russia the real 'Holy Russia. not those who have given themselves np to the evil spirit must admit that the religious mystical element is the basis of Rus sian life. "If we only remembered our re ligious duty' with more; faith and courage," says Mme. Novlkoff. "all the evil influences, like those which are now reigning In unhappy Rus sia, would never had taken place." Russia's great question, she de clares, is, "to find some means of deserving the divine help that we need so sorely against the aggres sion of the present so-called ration-' alisru. Our confidence in this dlvin help can onU- be mystical, at true Christian religious naturally is. And I am happy to say Kthat tbe moral atmosphere of Russia till now al ways was so. af fecting, even people who, though brought up in ratiallstle countries, became extremely ardent, tnembers of the Orthodox church. "On the othrr hand, whn that principle is forgotten, evil may be spread with tragic rapidity. Take, for instance, what harm has been done In a few months, when the church, the religions sentiment In the! schools and In the army and tavy has been abolished! The irreat majority or tne country, in becoming unholy, forgetting to be guided, by the mystic elements, has thus be come quite transformed for the worse.
