On every battlefield our soldiers will not go further than the btretoh er bearers of the Red Cross, will not risk their itves more splendid ly for our liberty than the stretch er bearers do for mercy. Our ally will not love us gay and vivacious - and veracious, too, except in cases where a good lie looks better than a poor truth. Goethals, the American idol, seems to have at least one foot of clay, while the other he uses to kick better the wooden ship builders. for the strength we give his fight ing arm than the healing we lay upon his wounds. Our boys will fight more heroically, confident that if they fall the Red Cross will car ry them back cf the trenches and do all that skill and love and devo tion can do to save their lives.

The other three members were Joe Hodgson. J. M. Banister and G. W. Winn. They went about their work with a smile of confidence and were smilingly received.

Much as they have been provok ed, we would prefer to see the Al lies win the war without resorting to aerial bombardment of fled Cross Notes TEE SYMBOL OF MERCY If there were no Red Cross America's part in the world con flict would only be ruthless war fare. . We would be sending forth fore- yun es solely to lay waste, destroy and kill. For our soldiers and sailors, we would give no evidence of the con cern felt at home for their welfare. In our selfish clinging to conven ience, comfort and luxury we would give no sign of the "Spirit of '76" or the splendid quality of sacrifice that - strengthened the fingers of our women in the civil war as they tore their delicate garments into bandages. Our dollars would be slackers and the soldier boy to whom you wid home will be keeping from want cities, mother, wife or children. Wherever war makes need, the Red Cross serves. The service of the Red Cross demonstrates above all that we do not brutally fight to beat down and break a foe, but for liberty, not so swayed by lust of battle that we cast from the hand of love the symbol of mercy the Red Cross. Thus, even as America fights, America's heart thrills in response to the Red Cross appeal and Ameri can pocketbooks open wide. Thus, even as Oregon gives her men to the army and navy, fihe gives her money to the Red Cross that our defenders may be defended. Throughout the state the emer gency appeal of the Red Cross has set in motion an army of volunteer workers who are getting enthusias tic, patriotic, generous response. Oregon's dollars are not slackers, Transports of joy will have noth ing on our troop ships if they get to France without being submarined. The Oregon State Grange wants to abolish the State Senate, but some of us would prefer to dispense with the Crange. Mountain precinct may change its view as to the merits of the state road bond measure if it should hap pen to be on the route of the Ore gon trunk highway. The Library room where mem bers of the lied Cross meet will lie German open every Tuesday and Friday af ternoon from now on. The women members arc requested to come and sew whenever practicable. Four sewing machines are now in use and two or three more are very much needed. More chairs will also be very acceptable. The Weston Auxiliary of the Red Cross now numbers 96. Have you joined? Membership is ox?n to ev cry man, woman and child. Now is the time for everybody to do his bit. This service is di rectly requested by President Wil son. Your son or brother may re turn from the war safe as a result of the work you do now. ,VeV.Ve.v.nv.v.v.v.v.VeV.v.vv.vv.

ELGIN-WESTON ROAD MAY BE STATE HIGHWAY The commercial club meeting Tuesday was devoted entirely to road discussion. Remarks were made by S. A . Barnes from wheih it appeared that there is considerable prospect that the proposed road crossing the Blues from Elgin to ' Weston will be se lected as the route of the Oregon highway. Other routes under con sideration are said to involve con struction costs almost prohibitive. It is also said that the Elgin Weston route is the only one that will receive support from the fed eral government.
