The churches included comprise the various denominations of Advent Christian, Baptists, Brethren, Christian, Congregation al, Disciples, Evangelical, Friends, Holiness, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Zion, Presbyterian, Reformed, and United Brethren some thirty denominations. The effort is an attempt on the part of the principal Protes tant denominations to unite in a common program of activity, without attempting to solve the problems arising from divergent doctrines and policy, a union to fight jointly against sin and to Christianize civilization. No attempt is to be made to abolish denommationahsm, but co-operation will eliminate rivalry. It isj a carefully thought-out, business-like plan, to eliminate waste and duplicate effort, to unify Protestant forces in the common cause of humanity's betterment. Of the $336,777,572 sought this year, $175,448,349 is to be paid this year, the balance being paid in from two to five years, and it is confidently asserted that the program adopted will enable! the churches to solve the problems thrust forward by the world' war and help the establishment of "a brotherhood of men and mv tions, based upon the Fatherhood of God."

All the time the lively little couple were at work upon their new home it was easy to find Johnnie. But it was hard to get hire to do any errands, because he didn't want to stir from the doorvard, he was so in terested In what was going on. Farmer Green, too. seemed pleased. And though be didn't spend much time watching Mr. and Mrs. Rusty (he said that he had to work, the same as they), he remarked to John THE DENIM DEMENTIA The overalls movement that is sweeping the country is a popular protest against the high cost of living. It offers an easy way to visualize resentment against high prices for food and raiment. Because it is a fad and spectacular, it is popular. 1 In so far a3 it involves an extra expenditure for clothing, it is absurd, ihe way to save money on clothing is to wear old clothes, not buy more clothing simply because it costs little. True thrift does not have to advertise itself in overalls or any other uniiorm. If the price of clothing remains high because of the law of supply and demand, cessation of purchases will soon make a glut in the market and force it down. Unusual buvinir of overalls sim ply enriches the denim manufacturers, and raises the price of overalls to those who really need them. T.- 1L.. i, . . . . , iii a way, uie overalls craze is inconsistent. As long as workers demand double their former wages, and producers ask two or three prices for products, they must expect to pay as consumers, more for what they themselves purchase. The high price of clothes begins with the wool growers, who get double for their wool, and continues all along the line. The textile workers and mill men, the wholesalers, the tailors, and the clerks, and not least, the landlord, all ask more and the con sumer foots the bill. The tailor and the merchant hold the sack, for when prices do fall, the other producers will have cashed in and the holders of the finished product face loss. If profiteering exists, it is incidental. When production ex ceeds consumption and reserves are replenished, prices will drop and a gradual readjustment to normal follow. The country is rimply suffering from the usua lills that follow in the wake of war. , JOHNNIE GREEN'S IDEA sters to neat nearby, where he could It happened that just before Rusty; have fun watching them. Wren and his wife came to Pleasant Not finding an old tin can that Valley to look fur a home Johnnie suited him, J Johnnie took a shiny Green had an idea. maple syrup can, which his father He found the Idea In the weekly said he might have.

(The story In the weekly paper said that the wrens' doorway should be as : small as that, so that no ruffianly ! English sparrows could enter the i house and disturb the little people that were to dwell there.) j Johnnie Green punched a few nail holes in the sides of the syrup can, be cause he thought that if he lived in such a place, he would want plenty of fresh air. Then he nailed a board to the can. And next he nailed the board to a cherry tree close to the House. Aaer that Johnnie had nothing more to do but wait. And he had not waited two days before Rusty Wren discovered the bright tin can that was to be his summer home.

Aa a direct result of the senate's refusal to ratify the peace treaty and join the League of Nations, the Turk is to remain in Europe, and continue his semi-barbaric rule of oppression and as slayer of Christian people. The inter-Allied supreme council has replied to President Wilson's protest declaring that without America's assistance, and with America refusing to share in the responsibility of maintain ing peace, the Allies have found it impossible to adopt his sug igestion that the Turk be driven from Europe. The fact that America has refused the proferred mandate over Turkey and that none of the great powers are in position to assume it, that without America's participation, the necessary military forces and other machinery necessary to the administra tion of a state, are lacking to the league, gives the Allied premiers their excuse. Thus one by one, the great changes in Europe made possible p""fil' 'e "ack.

For these results, the United States senate is morally responsible. hands. I was thinking about the let ter I had read from Karl Shepard and wishing that I had not torn it up. Although every word in Karl's let ter stood engraved on the tables offact; J feel ter than I did any time my memory, yet, womanaUke. I was almost afraid that I was misinter preting some of it. I could not deny to myself the fact that Karl Shepard loved me, or at least his interest had been aroused to such an extent by his knowledge of the liaison between John and Eliza beth ivroreland, that he called the emotion thus engendered love. Then, as alaways, my vagrant mind meandered about on a new trail. I wondered just what was the emotion that Karl Shepard designated in his own mind aa love. He had never attempted to caress me. He' had never, but once, even kissed my hand, and that was the time at the club just after my severe illness,' when John became so un reasonably Jealous. No Caroming Cuilcnco Even when Karl snatched me back from the storm darkened waters of the Atlantic his voice held no caress ing cadence. Indeed, that was the only time he Wd spoken brusquely to me during our acquaintance. And yet, to me, that short quick sentence: "Don't be a fool," held perhaps the greatest love token he had ever given me, necause the words were so full of the terror from which he had saved me. And blended with the hor. ror In his voice was another note a at Atlantic City "ves, Mrs. Gorgon, I think vou do," observed my nurse quietly.

Concerning the public spirited offer of A. N. Bush to build houses in West Salem at cost to help solve Salem's housing prob lem, the Eugene Guard remarks: "Down in Salem, where the lack of housing facilities is very acute, A. N. Bush, head of the pioneer banking house of Ladd & Bush, announces that ho is prepared to build one hundred five room bungalows and dispose of them to those in need of homes on very easy teams and at a low rate of interest. The sole object of this move, it is riven nut. is tn re lieve uie scarcity or homes which is seriously hindering the growth of tho city, and it is an idea characteristic of Mr. Rush a wealthy citizen, whose fortune has been devoted to the upbuild ing of the community in many substantial ways. Always it has been the backing of his banking institution that has brought fruit industries, packing plants, paper mills and a variety of other in dustries to Salem, and stood back of them once they we're located there until their success was assured. That this broad policy of community building is sound in a business sense is shown by the fact that the institution adopting it has grown larger and stronger as the city has expanded commercially and industrially.
