the eve pf their departure to visit
western states in an effort to ob
tain uniformity in foot and mouth
Gisease quarantine regulations.
-
members of three committees re
cently appointed to visit those
states off behalf of California In
terests, today issued a statement
In which they expressed the hope
thai they would be successful in
their mission. ( The statement said
In part:
'The economic welfare of all
western states is so closely related
that evil effects of unreasonable
quarantines against California
products will react seriously on
tnese other states.
"We are eager to have every
justifiable precaution taken to
prevent tbe spread of this dis-
ease, but we believe the entire
west will sustain unnecessary in-1
Jury if beneficial commerce in I
commodities that may be moved
without hazard is held up."

ID TABEDGLE
BE ERECTED
People Interested in Demar-
est Meetings Say, it Can
Be Ready Next Sunday
'If the thing Is needed, why
not have it?" That was the unan
imous sentiment at a meeting of
people last night who are inter
ested In the Demarest revival.
It was stated that a tabernacle
holding 5 000 people - might be
tnrown together in five days, and,
work beginning Tuesday morning,
be. ready for the services of next
Sunday..- .t .
They- point out the fact that
Salem has no place large enough
to hold the people who want, to
hear Mrs. Demarest; that this re
markable woman preacher, grand
daughter ot General Booth, -who
gave the world the Salvation army
has captured r and ; gripped : Salem
as the people' here have not been
gripped before. ;.x
"The armory will; hold -2500, to
perhaps 3000 people, jammed to
the limit; but the enthusiasts say
that is not half large enough. They
say ihe could have 5000 at every
meeting, and more if room could
be had for them to crowd In and
hear her in comfort,'

Says Epizootic Never Known
to Have Been Carried in
Human, Food Stuffs ;
- WASHINGTON, . April 19-
Quarantine measures ot the feder
al government to prevent spread of
the foot and mouth disease among
cattle in California and adjoining
states are ample to meet the pres
ent .situation there and to protect
the Interests of all concerned. Sec
retary Wallace declared today.
- It was unfortunate, the secretary
said, that the authorities of cer
tain westers states have thought
it necessary to place drastic re
strictions on the movement from
California of commodities which
never have been known to carry
infestation. Such action, in some
instances, he said, had resulted in
great inconvenience without con
tribnting to the safety of these
states."' - i- jr-it.-"' -
Ko record exists of the disease
being spread by fruits, vegetables
or other human foodstuffs and the
department had not felt It was
necessary 10 xumigaie iruii r cars
and other cars carrying such com
moditles. Such . drastic embargo
would work a severe, hardship and
entail considerable loss it applied
to such fruit movement, he said
Secretary Wallace characterized
the alarm which has seized the
western states as hysteria and
said it was entirely unwarranted

GERMAN WAR
GUNS TO BE
GIVEN STATE
pill Now Before . President
, Would Award Forty. Tons
of Trophies to Oregon
Forty tons or cap tared German
war trophies are available for dis
tribution in Oregon by the passage
of a bill now before the president,
according to information received
by George A. White, adjutant gen
eral. The trophies consist of cannon,
machine guns, helmets and all of
the fighting implements of the
German army. The bill has al
ready passed congress and is
awaiting executive approval, ac
cording to information received by
General White from the chairman
of the legislative committee of the
national guard association of tbe
United States."
Oregon Is required' to pay the
freight on -all cannon shipped but
is put to no other cost, and based
on freight rates the amount .of
tonnage allotted to Oregon, Gen
eral White estimated that 33552
will be required to pay for the
shipping costs.: ;
In Oregon's allotment are a
number of the large caliber cam
ouflage guns used by the Germans,
Including five 150 -mm howitzers
and three 170 mm minnewerfors
as well as a large' assortment of
specimens of German ruthlessness.
The supplies are in storage hear
Washington at the present time.
General White said that the al
lotment of these cannon and troph
ies has been In' abeyance for sev
eral years while congress has been
considering the legislation and
that the plan is to have them dW
tributed among, the. counties, and
that probably one large museum
might be provided at some central J
place for the surplus in Oregon.

"Gold and Vinegar Unusua!
Title of Mrs. Demarest' s
Sermon' '
"What would griev yon; par
ents most, for your children to
say. My father and mother won't
love roe, won't forgive, won't
forget.' Can you do the same
to God?"
"You may call it humility to
say, 'I have been so wicked that
God can't love me." It isn't hu
mility; it is a form of pride, and
it is too humiliating to you to
I come and confess. Nothing
B breaks the heart of tbe Master I
line mis rerusai.
"Christ says to you, 'Give mo
the love of your heart; ' give
yourself. Are you going to
mock Him by giving only the
vinegar and gall of mouth-worship?"
"Gold and Vinegar" was , the
unusual title of the address given
last night byEvangeiist Mrs. Dem
arest. .The 'armory was comfort'
ably filled, with close to 2.000 peo
ple in attendance, even for a Sat
urday night when the stores and
business houses are open. : It was
promise of other meetings that
will overtax the building all the
rest of the series.
There' are two days of supreme
importance in every life the day
of birth and the day of death, the
evangelist said. These days are
worthy of the best gifts that can
be brougnt, and the Christ-gifts
on the day of His birth and His
death were the occasion for the
sermon-title. The wise men ot th
east brought to Him, on the occas
ion of His birth, gifts of gold,
frankincense and myrrh, three
types of gifts that signify almost
tbe whole range of values.
The gold is to the king; the gift
of great cost, the gift of everlast
ing worth. To - the everlasting
king, the gift of gold was signifi
cant and symbolical. It meant the
power that should not fafl." ' '
Frankincense is the gift of wor-
phip, of adoration, of love. These
the wise ' men brought , both in a
physical and spiritual sense. It Is
tbe duty' and the privilege of all
men to bring these heart offerings
to the Master, as did the wise men
of old, and to present them with a
spirit of humility that makes them
of incalculable spiritual value.
'Few people today know how
really to worship"," said t-ho speak
er. ; "It is a lost art to worship in
the spirit and, in the truth. A
mere lip worship takes, lis place.
Because we have withheld ur 014
as the first step of sacrifice, our
worship Is too often a mockery, a
pretense. It is like tbe kisses of

war. ; He must have blood lines,
he 'must have strength," he must
have a spirit that would never

neigh. '
