CHILD'S RIGHTS ARE PRESENTED BY MR, HUMBERT Children Leading Citizens of Community, Sunday School Man Says HAYESVILLE IS HOST First Rural Convention Held in City Church Unquali fied Success Are the stars holes In Heaven where the sune shines through? After we get safely up to Heaven. what if we should break through? If God made the earth, where di'l he stand when he made it? Young Rev. H. F. Humbert, retir ing secretary of Oregon. .State Sun day School association, made no at tempt to answer these posers of the proverbial small boy. He merely passed them on as indicative of the awakening mind of childhood in his address on '.'Rights of the Child." at the quarterly convention of Hayesville district Sunday school association at Jason. Lee church last Sunday. y Revamping a well known scripture the speaker asked "What would it profit America if she gain the whole world and lose her boys and girls? or what would America give in ex change forher boys and girls?" From the interest shown to his 5TJ5SL L.LA5KY PRESENTS CECD wm m s PRODUCTION Slates "male: - AND FEMALE NOW SHOWING YE LIBERTY remarks by the audience of between 300 and 400 people that filled the church. Mr. Humbert found much sympathy for his conclusions as to the rights of children and the pro per estimate of their importance In the community. That the leading citizens are the children, not the business men, and that they have the right to consecrated parenthood, to sympathetic understanding and to complete physical, mental, social and religious development, were the points he emphasized as against the attitude of those who turn their children over to the devil to raise and then to raise the devil because tie does it. Humbert's idea of heaven is not j that of a place of lazy repose, out aj place where nobody would get tired and therefore could work night and day in the fulfillment of unfulfilled desires. He expressed the hope that the proposed millage tax for the bet terment of opportunities for child development in the schools of Oregon would be approved, r Armenian Situation IHscuHwed The Armenian situation instead f abating with the ending of the war was shown to be more appalling than ever, in an address by Mrs. E. T. Al len, who recently returned from that stricken country and who gave first hanO facts and incidents. She told how. during a recent siege by in vading Mohammedans, a. mere hand ful of Americans Lad to give asylum to .12.000 Christian Armenian refu gees on less-than an acre of ground for a period of five months during which time 4000 were buried. Men. women and children fought for raw meat from the carcass of a dead man from the body of his own bro ther. Watches had to ge kept o prevent the removing of recently buried corpses from the cemeteries to satisfy the pangs of hunger. Such were some of the facts attested by f ... Alio. .va.aan.ial Vnwlaf-r and she Inferred that conditions of ine present moment can scarcely ue overdrawn. HayeKville IIoMs The gathering featuring the stir ring appeals, the quarterly conven tion of Hayesville district of the Marion County Sunday School association, was attended by dele gates from 14. of the 18 Sunday schools of the Hayesville district as follows: Auburn. 2; Brooks Metho dist. 8; Brooks Evangelical. 2; Clear Lake, 20; Fruitland. 8; Hayesville. 9; Hazel Green. 19: Keizer. It: Middle Grove. 26; Macleay, 9; Men- onlte. 14: Pratum Methodist Episco pal. 32: Pioneer, S; Waconda. 3. The four schools not represented are Bethel. Chemaway North Howell and Rural Congregational. At the opening after brief devo tional exercises the lessons for the quarter were reviewed the first four lessons by Miss Florence Rader. I the second four by Luther Cook and the third four by Mr. Humbert, sub stituting for C. M. Roberts of Jason Lee church, who was absent on ac count of Illness. Following the lesson reviewes and an -address by Rer. Mr. Hum bert, noon luncheon was served fro.n the baskets which were deposited in plenteous numbers by the delegates and others In attendance. In the afternoon the address of Mrs, Allen on the Armenian situa tion was followed by Rev: Mrs. I. . Lee. pastor of North Salem Friends church who discussed with logic the distinction between belief and faith, and who was followed in turn ny Miss Verna Hertzler, a returned missionary from Japan, who gave an interesting account of missionary work in the flowry kingdom. A Worthy Institution An appeal was made in behalf nf the Deaconess hospital (Menonitet by H. F. Wedel. who aptly classed the institution as one of the child ren entitled to the protection of the Sunday school. From Mr. Wedel it was learned that this institution, now but three years old. has served a total of over 2000 patients, and has a record of approximately 00 surgical operations. Its great need now is more room as every single room Is at present doing the duty of a double one and needy people are being turned away for want oi space. The concluding address was made by Rev. Thomas Acheson of Jasou Lee church. Quinaby camp ground was chosen as the meeting place of the next Hayesville district convention LIBERTY BONDS ARE SAFE SAYS RESERVE HEAD John U.

STANDARD OIL COMPART (Calif arala) Jlfllli an w a si av iol aaC I x i 93 fiecau cf confusion and discon tent in the public mind because the market prices of liberty bonds and vit-torv nates are temporarily below par. John r. Calkins, governor of the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco, has written Governor Ol con asking tnr.t ne impress upon the people of Oregon the thorough safety of the bonds. "Please emphasis the fart." says Mr. Calkins, "that despite the pres ent market depression these gov t-iiimeui sCTiiruip? are me oesi in the world to hold and buy now. and the poorest to sell at Ibis time." Mr. Calkins declares that the so called "bond sharks" all over the country are spending thousands of dollars in buying Kovernment se curities from people or limited means and experience in investment matters. In both instances Mr. Cal kins asserts. the securities are oougnt because the buyers realize their present worth and future poa- siDiiuies. .Mr. Calkins writes: There is a great deal of confu sion and discontent In the nubile mind, involving considerable losses to individual investors in liberty bonds and victory notes, because the market prices are temporarily be low par. It Is fitting therefore that ine leaders of th people and men of far vision In public affairs should present the facts of the situation to the people, that they may protect themselves and have their faith in our national government aulckened "Present market prices of these government securities are not true indication of their real valui. nri do not Justify the implication of uninformed minds that the govern ment has failed to live up to Its bar bain with the investors. Liberty bonds and victory notes are below par chiefly because manv who dhh. otically lent their money to the gov ernment during the enthusiasm of war nave withdrawn their loans and thus forced their holdinra nn .. market in excess or the .demand, with consequent depreciation of prices. "The public at I a rite nrnhahW does not understand whv this de predation exists, and should be as uredtbat the causes hold no men ace To. the actual Intrinsic vain f these securities. "Liberty bonds and victory'- notes were issued in such stupendous amounts and within such a compara tively brief period that their ab sorption by permanent Investors necessarily required time, with tem oorary prejudice to their interven ing sale value. Like oUer fceenri ties. they are subject to nir.rket con ditions the inexorable Taw of sun- Ply and demand. Market (notations hvea declined chiefly because of failure of the investor nubile to save in proportion to the Hiormoui expenditure of capital during anl siiu-v me war. and particular!- for 'he reason that large numbers of noiaers nave been unable, through various causes, to rettain Uieir won and notes since ttu; rcnuiinn of hostilities. They consequent !v 'urced their holdings upon tl... mar ket more rapidly than others could save runds to Invest. "The fact that large numbers of liberty bonds and vietorv long nt; to these patriotic Americans .ie ot'ing roid daily at a los r,,k it imperative that they be convinced cf the fact (hat the- covernment hn stipulated interest on their iri,.. and will likewise pay the full face or par value of these bonds and notes when they mature. The se curity behind, these obligations is the honor and goo faith, the wealth and the taxing power of the United States of America. What the fu ture of these bonds and notes is may be surmised Trom the following summary of- our Civil war bonds which also fell In value the first few years after issue: "United States 6 per cent 20-year $100 bond3 of 1861 sold in 1866 for more than $106; In 1877 they sold for $110 gold. "United States $100 bonds o! 1862. carrying f per cent interest, and maturing in from live to 20 years, brought the equivalent of about $88 gold when issued; in 1871 they sold for approximately $102 gold. , " "United States $100 bonds of March 3. 186 4. carrying r, per cent interest and maturing in from 10 to 40 years, brought an equivalent when issued of only $49 gold- In 186 they sold at $81. and in 1878 for $108 gold. Those best Informed In- our fi nancial history and in Investment matters are firm in their conviction that liberty bonds and victory notes will be worth considerably more than the original purchasers paid lor them before their maturitr. The secretary of the treasnrv Is author ity for the statement that the po- - - , , , aftlon or the treasury toUay and he future ot the market for the out standing issues are ery bright. it has been suggested that the government shauld have provide'! some means of maintaining these securities at par. The besi economic and fininclal minds of the country. however, were and still are of the opinion that any such action would be poor economics and unjustifi able. While companions are not al- wavs suitable, tet in tnis instance one has only to study the financial pages of the newspapers to realize that liberty bonds and victory notes are more than holding their own in the competition ot the open mar ket with not only the securities or our great American industrial or ganizations but also with the "bonds issued by other governments. "One of the great banks of San Francisco. In a recent review 6f fi nancial conditions, pointed out that rich estates are steadily buying lib erty bonds at existinc low market prices, especially of the first issue. because of their practically tax-ex emption feature. "Again. It is wonh while to con sider that so-called 'bond sharks' the country over are spending thou sands of dollars for advertising and for office expenses in their campaign to gather to themselves our govern ment's war loan Issues which are held by th people of limited means and experience in investment mat ters. Obviously. In both instances these securities are bought because buyers realize their present worth and future possibilities. "In a word, all buyers seem will ing to trtde what they have, be It merchandise. real estate, or fake stocks, for liberty bonds or victory notes. This fart alone should In duce the thoughtful American to re tain his bonds. . "Won't you. therefore, as gover nor of the great state of Oregon, call the people's attention to this mat ter in such way as you deem moat appropriate? Kindly make clear to them their true interest and equity In the premises, pointing out as you so well can that this is not the time to let go of the government securi ties they hold, but rather a ripe op portunity to invest further In liberty bonds and victory notes; also to practice thrift and systematically invest their surplus earnings in war savings stamps and treasury savings certificates. "All of these securities possess the merit of absolute safety, and at the same time yield highly substan tial interest returns. Please empha size the fact that despite the present market depression these government securities are the best In the world to hold and buy now. and the poor est to sell at this time. Parting with them now at a sacrifice would be the height of folly and as a busi ness proposition could be excused only on the ground of Ignorance Thoughtful people are buying liber ty bonds and victory notes from the thoughtless people who do not ap preciate their real value.

March 29 (Special to The Statesman t The Silverton Community club whloh was organized a few months ago is talking up an endeavoring to better many conditions in Silverton for the benefit of Silverton people. At a recent meeting t!ie club de cided to try to do something toward giving Silverton residents better train service to and from Portland. The Idea is to have an early train to Portland and a late return. As it is now the las! train in. the even ing arrives from Portland at Silver ton at 6:50 making It nece-wry to leave Portland before the business day is completed. The club will take the matter up with the railroad of ricials. Another matter discussed at the meeting was that or Hargain dar. A committee of three memlwrs Noils Ames. N Zosel and J. R. Robimon. was appointed to interview the Sil verton business men. WHV LILLIAN U N D E R W O O D AMAZES AS WELL AS HEART ENS MADGE. Up to the moment that Lillian Un derwood faced Katherine Sonnot and me in her wonderful brown-toned library, asked our assurance that we would not betray her confidence, and then told us that she had "a little special knowledge" of the secret forces at work against America, I bad thought that I knew Lillian as well as one woman could possibly know another. She bad been my most intimate friend. I had come to ber with all my troubles, and on two or three occasions bad been privileged to comfort her brave spirit In Its hours of suffering. Out It was a new Lillian that Katb erlne and I saw In action after we had told ber of the anonymous news paper clipping that bad been sent to me. and which she had decided had come from Grace Draper's hands. It wasn't that she was more brilliant or more resourceful; indeed, these qualities are always so conspicuous In Lillian Underwood that It would be hard to pick out any occasion In which she excels In them. But there was a grim sternness In her manner I had never seen there before. It was evident even to my untrained mind that there were chambers In Lillian's brain and heart to which even I. beloved friend as I knew myself to be. bad never been admitted. I alsolsaw that she at tached even more Importance to the supposed presence ot Grace Draper la New York than she assumed 10 oo. And the experiences of the hours fol lowing her request that I make some excuse to stay at her home for a few days will never leave my memory, so filled with unexpected developments were they. "I Need Your Help.- "And now for business!" Lillian said after she'd telephoned Dicky a most elaborate fiction concerning some advertising Jingles that had been ordered, and which were to have a historical setting about which she wished to consnlt with me. necessi tating my remaining tn her home. We haven't any time to waste. Just a minute." She slipped on a bat and coat which were lying on a table, rang the bell and summoned her faithful colored cook Betty, and stepped out Into the hall, drawing on a pair oi gloves as she did so. and leaving tne door oartlr ajar. Katnerine ana i gave an Involuntary glance oi sur- nrlse at each other, aand men we both looked away again. I think the same resoldtlon came to Katberlne as to me. that no matter what Lillian il ns into in the expedition sne nao promised us. in which ahe hoped to discover Grace Draper, we wouldn't hetrav any excitement or curiosity. ntt" Lillian s tone neio ine am kindly vet Incisive Inflection he always used" toward the woman "can vou do an errand lor me ngui away?" Shoh'a you bohn. Miss Lillian. nitr returned. Til shake mah foot an be wlf yoh before yoh has time to wink.' "All right. Betty. I want you to go over to that place what has those delicious cheeses and get some for ladies and I will nmhahlv he rone when you return but If I should get back before they do. and yon find this door locaeo don't disturb me. for I have some very hard work on hand this after noon." "You won't hear nutfln out of me. Mis' Lillian." "I'm sure of that Betty." Lillian returned smiling, and returning, waited until she was out of hearing. "Put on your hats and coats, girls." she said softly, and we obey ed her. Down my back at least there .nnninr little thrills of excited anticipation of something raysterloutJ And the anticipation was realized a few minutes later when, after we heard a street door close upon Betty, and Lillian had left us again for a moment, she returned, locked the massive door ot the library, and pulled the heavy curtains over it. 'I have carried Marlon Into ber grandrootber'a room." she explained, "and put her upon a couch there. The nurse who is taking care of old Mrs. Norton thinks we're going out. and will take care ot Marion when she wakes np. And now. girls" she took a deep breath "I am going to disclose to you a grave secret that rou must keep Inviolate as long a you live. The reason I do this Is be cause I know you. Madge and you. Katherine. are honor ltslf. And" she looked at us keenly "I need your help In something far mot Im portant than merely finding out If ('race Draper's in town, your mowths closed and your face like poker Mayers, no matter hat happens Com on." It moved inward, disclosing a narrow aperture, through which we silently squeezed one at a time. Lillian com ing last and pushing the wainscoting back into place again. She scruti nized It with the aid of the eletrtc torch, and then pushed a buttoa. evi dently aa electric call bell. et In the side of the rloaet door, for we round ourselves In another cloet similar to Lillian's. Without waiting for an answer to her summons she took anolner key. unlocked the closet door, and ush ered ns Into a large rtm wnicn looked like a theatrical costumers establishment. Gowns and coats and suits f every kind, from shabby out fits which the humblest laandrrs might scorn, to costly equipments which the most fashionable woman might not be abamed to ear. I hope my face was a lmpsl as Katherine's to wbom tbe wkol bizarre proceeding might have beeo the most ordinary happening. And then, even as Lillian was locking the closet door behind her. a stealthy knock sounded opon another door, evidently tbe outer one of the room In which we stood.
