The first call for funds from American Jews, in 1918, was for $100,600. The appeal this year is for $5,000,000, and this goal is being approached; has been much easier to-secure than was the first $100,000. !; Palestine is being converted from a neglected and semi desert country into a. land ; of good farms, fine cities and towns, and thriving industries. y Theseare 'developments of first historic rank, and mil lions of people throughout the world believe that prophesy is being fulfilled in this tremendous movement that is proceed ing with ever hastening pace. SAYS DOUGLAS MALLOCH WROTE IT Editor Statesman: ; . - - J . ' The Morning Democrat of Baker, Oregon, in its Issue ot June 16th, 1926. quotes from the Oregon Statesman as follows: - -, "At the COnclnalrwi of hia rfwnflnitA on Hio'itava nf fha riitnnM j , at the dedication of that theatre on Friday erening. Gorernor Pierce y recited some lines In a manner that attracted rery farorable comment. 'These lines entitled 'East .and West, were published in the Oregon 1 Teachers Monthly,' issued from the. Statesman building, a year or two ago, and they were .credited to an Oregon author. There is a dispute, ' however, as to who is the author. The lines with a somewhat differ . e.nt wording are attributed to J." J. Fleming, a minister at Baker, Oregon.' The lines as they appeared in the Oregon Teachers Monthly . and as Governor Pierce recited them, are as folio wb: " .t . - "Men look to, the East for the dawning things, for the light of rising sun, . ' .... . . . . w . nut they look to the west, to, the crimson west, - ' for the things that are done,1 are done. - The eastward sun Is a new-made hope from the dark of the night distilled; AW. -,v But the westward sun is a sunset, sun, the sun . of a hope 'fulfilled! , 1 v ' So out of the East they have always come, the cradle that saw the birth Of all the heartwarm hopes of man and all of ' " , the hopes of earth I K .

THEIR BALANCE SHEET (Portland Journal.) . , They live in Oregon City. For 22 years they have been man and wife. But he told her' one day last week that he was tired of her. Her answer left him speechless for a moment. She confessed that she was tired of him.. It was a blow at his conceit. ' Then It became a question how to get a divorce, which one of them would apply for It and what cause of separation would be ascribed. . ' In their dilemma Ihey sought a mutual friend. They told their story of mutual weariness. Tfley asked his advice about how to get the divorce over most quickly and with least notoriety. -' But he said to the husband: "You are a business man; Here Is a sheet of foolscap paper. Take it Into yonder room, sit down and write off a balance Bheet.' Write your wife's failings on one side. Write her good qualities arfd, the items, of her value to you on the other. Then comeback." ...,. To the wife he suggested that she write her husband's good and bad qualities In parallel columns. The man bent to bis task. He recalled the shy. beautiful girl he had met and loved 25 years ago. He remembered the courtship, her diffident "yes" and his ecstatic happiness when she said it. He visualized the wedding and Its tremors, the honeymoon that followed and then the. years of married life. He saw her watching over the hahv that died. He felt the-touch of her hand in comfort When he grieved. He saw her busy at household tasks. His stirred imagin ation even reconstructed the scene ehe slipped her hand softly Into his He brought his balance sheet back without an Ink mark. It was wt with toars. Rtranzelv enough, her balance had a long list of rorifta and not a in ele item in The friend of the famUy knew when need for hisadvic had ended. They did not notice him closed the door. Referring to the above from the Portland Journal, no doubt written by Frank Irvine: if all the married couples thinking of referring their troubles to the courts were obliged or could be induced to go through the experience of the Oregon City pair, there would be far fewer divorces. . Can Two Live as Cheaply : As One? Here Is Example Young Couple Arrive in Salem With Smiles, 10 Cents, and J Loaf of Bread Following Unfortunate Trip, Partly . on Foot, From South : ; . . I'': v . The old, old problem as to whether two can live as cheaply as one, has, at the moment of go ing to press, not.been solved. The companion adage, however,' rela tive to the young married couple going down the -walks of life hand In hand, has had its fulfillment. Saturday afternoon a tired young couple arrived in Salem, where they plan to make their home. They came from San Fran cisco and arrived here with a half a loaf of bread and 10 cents. And tfcey were walking.; i t - 1 The whole story hinges on a misfortune that overtook them soon after they left the city of the Golden Gate, after, they had started for Oregon on their honey moon and to make their home. Leaving San Francisco and Oakland, the boy and girl rode merrily along life's highway in their second-hand car one of the "smaller" variety. They bad J 400 saved up and were having a won derful time. - .

The handbag con taining the ? 4 00 and the girl's diamond ring was stolen from the car. Except for some "small change 'and the secondhand; car, the. couple was penniless. Taking- count, and lining, the situation up, they sold the car for 25, and started north on foot and except for a few rides received at the hands of tourists, the trip'' to Salem was made in .this way.1 V -Arriving at Ashland, 'finances totalled 20 cents. Half of this was speat for a loaf of bread. "From A M waa r.cofte id.;s!e5t Ashland to Salem the young picked up several rides and in the woods along the highway. Along thte stretch, fruit was ac cepted as the principal farm of sustinence. ' ' They arrived at the home of relatives here on Saturday after noon and plan t oremain here.
