MR. HOOVER'S COMING "Snrinfffield is fortunate in the Drospect of hearing Her bert Hoover deliver next week in person his message of appeal for the starvation-threatened children of Europe, ihe audi torium will doubtless be crowded by those who wish to hear Cfla'f; and see this vigorous and remarkable man. "But for Mr. Hoover's couraee. resourcefulness, genius for organization and sheer audacity when menaced again and again by the red tape of European officialdom, the-population of the world would today be smaller by millions. Nor does any American love him less because of the terse message, sim ilar to that attributed to Col. Whittlesey. of the 'Lost Battal- ion, which he sent two German emissaries on their way to beg food indulgences of him after the war. He was not unmindful of German sufferings, but he could not forget that this same precious pair in other days had thwarted and balked his ef forts to feed the starving people of Belgium.' Germany might send other envoys, but as for these two he told them, in plain English tranlatable into plain German, where they could go. "fThis American engineer, whose great accomplishment lay in building almost overnight a vast machine of mercy com posed of jnen and women devoted to their work and to him, has stirred the imagination of the world perhaps more than any military commander of the war. Sometimes m the past this nation has concerned itself as to what should become of I its ex-Presidents. As for defeated' candidates for presidential nominations, these have very frequently sunk from public sight. But Mr. Hoover, reluctantly entering the contest for the Republican nomination as the representative of a cause rather than as one politically ambitious, is today more and not less of a figure than before the Chicago convention. There are 'great tasks to which he may be called. But first is the task to which he calls the people of this rich country: The saving from starvation of the children of Europe who shall be the friends of our own children and of this nation in the days to come." - . . , ' The above is copied from the Springfield, Mass., Republi can of last Tuesday, partly to show in what esteem our former Salem boy, Herbert Hoover, is held in this country J And partly to express the wish that Salem's $7000 share " of this relief fund may be oversubscribed this week 'And Marion county's share, too; sand Oregon's share Partly as a testimonial to our own Herbert Hoover .j But more for the cause he represents. . ; t "For he would hot wish that anyjbf: the honor should be given to him, unless it would help in' securing the funds for the, starving children whose lives he pleads for at the hands of the American people, the only people who can save those lives., - ;!,;,- ' U h jf There is to be a hearing at Portland today, in an attempt to raise the telephone rates all over Oregon.., The movement boght to fail..

His partner, also a young man, d;sa?eed heartily and. no doubt, offered many excellent arguments to support. his position. Mr. Harding iusisted. An im passe being created, the future president bought out his partner for a cash, consideration and agreed to pay him 3Gs. a week regular salary. In these days it i difficult to onreciate the RiRiiilicance or such an act. The joys and miser ies cf telephoning were hidden rom the human jnlnd at that me. Yet the youthful Harding - . . - m a wa?I snowing someming oi me character that was eventually to olace him in the presidential I,ook as if the war debt would be extended over a period of 40 or 60 years, so far as America 1 concerned.

There is more thrift iu the country today than at auy time in the last ten years, according to the judgment of the experts. And faith, we need it.

The best crop any state or na tion can raise is a crop of Just plain, wholesome boys and girls. What would be the use of work- ng hard to develop a fine coun try unless there were t-ouie good dependable boys and giris to leave It to? ' But boys and girls are more difficult to raise than record- break ins cows or fine horses. Sometimes we get so interested in building up a fine farm or a 'jreat city that we forget to bring up the kind of children that can be trusted with these wonderful ;nvestments and enterprises. ' We cannot leave the boys and girls to grow up any more than a far mer can turn his cattle loose in the neighborhood and expect to havp Tina stnfk in tlin fnrt The youth must, be given high! !deaisand trained to honest and dependable men and women.

Germany will have an army o! 100,000 men under the treaty, but it will be made up almost entirely of men who have been officers.

The' courts bold that a lot of dealers will have to pay 22 cent3 a pound for sugar. They were glad to order and contract for it at that, price and now must meet their obligation, although they can buy the sweet stuff in the open market for less than 9 cents. Sc many people made all manner of profit from sugar, however, that it is hard to spill tears over the prospect of some one facing a loss. It is all in the day's work. , . 3 t At The Electric Sign "SHOES" 1 1 X v Slippers Are AlwaysWelcomeGifts Wy Are Showing Many Styles 1 All Prices Are Reduced To Meet Present Day Conditions 2 Shoe? and Hosiery too, Will Meet Their Approval Lo Coinptou la a gogetler.
