The Leader joins in three rousing
cheers for the Weston committee,
which was headed by J. H. I'rico
as chairman and of which S. A.
Karnes was secretary and C. H. Nel
son treasurer. 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. They are good men and
true and may their respective shad
ows - except, possibly, that of Joe
Hmlgson, who needs no bigger shallow-
never grow less. The I.eader
man thusly rhapsodize because he
was on the Y. M. C. A. committee
and they helped him and his good
colleague, E. M. Smith, out of a
hole.

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.

ELGIN-WESTON ROAD MAY

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. Even though it
fails to become the state highway it
