In this city the American Legion in addition to ren dering enthusiastic aid in placing ser vice men at work, has been actively engaged in combating the radicals, Portland, Or., reports the situation as good, with 8S1 men finding work out of 891 applying, while in Salem it is reported that there are practically no service men unemployed.

However, during November but 29,275 Ben have found employment, as against 41,548 in October. "It is very evident," says General Haan, "from the large number of reg istrations which have come in during the last four weeks, that there is a pressing necessity for continued activ ity in the bureaus which assist dis- charged service men in obtaining jobs. I hope every employer will do every thing possible to provide all our sol diers and sailors with a Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year. -9 BOY RAISED DOLLARS FOR CHARITY MAN SOLD BILLIONS FOR COUNTRY NOW ASKS MILLIONS FOR CHURCH WATCH Y0UR EYES NOW The . snow . is . ex? tremely hard , on your eyea, .Have them looked after at the first sign of trouble.

"Liberals" of the United States were in a four day conference here today to deter mine their action in the coming pres idential campaign. Whether a third political oartv. pledged to policies of liberalism is forced or an alliance with one of the existing organizations effected will be decided. Amalgamation of the natione party, non-partisan league, and farm ers national council with the commit tee of forty eight, forming a body of more tnan a million voters at the out set, was seen as a possibility.
