Greatest emphasis is being laid on $1 membership. Wearing Red Cross 1919 button is an evidence of loyalty and proof of membership. "Strong-arm" solicitation is abso lutely barred. Aim To enroll every man, wo man and child in Umatilla county. AH the people of Oregon will be asked to join the Red Cross or to renew their membership during the Christmas Roll Call, which will be held the week before Christmas December 16-23. Membership in the Red Cross costs $1 a year. There will be no receipts given this year, the proof of membership being the signing of the Red Cross Roll and the wearing of the 1919 button. Red Cross leaders wish every wearer of a Red Cross 1919 button to ask every non-wearer: "Where's your button?" There are more than 248,000 Red Cross members in Oregon. Every one, it is expected, will renew mem bership while it is hoped to add 100,000 new members. Because of the campaign there will be no public sale of Christmas seals this year. Instead, every Red Cross member will be given ten of the seals, while $2,500,000 will be devoted by the American Red Cross for the 1919 tuberculosis work of the National Tuberculosis associa tion, this being about the total of the sale of Christmas seals last year. President Wilson has sounded the the campaign keynote with his "I summon you to the comradeship" message. The campaign slogan is the single word: "Join." OREGON'S SOLDIERS CLEAN Oregon has the cleanest young men, morally, of any state in the Union, according to army statistics furnished the Oregon Social Hygi ene Society from government sourc es. Of Oregon recruits arriving at the several army camps, only fifty-nine hundredths of one percent were found to be afflicted with ven- Say, friend!

ANVIL CHORUS Certain' Republican leaders in Congress have been doing their best to convince the country that President Wilson knew what he was about in asking for the election of a Democratic majority in that body. They have criticised his admira ble message when they and the country know full well they would have praised it to the skies had it come from a Republican president. They have condemned him for going abroad to the peace confer ence when they and the country know full well that such a course was urged by our allies ami was practically unavoidable in view of the world position the United States has assumed. They know and the country knows that were Wilson a Repub lican they would lay not a stone in his path. They have sneered at President Wilson for frankly submitting the railroad problem without a definite program, when they know and the country knows that bad he outlined a policy they would have accused him of trying to assume the role of dictator in peace times and of usurping the congressional prerog ative. In brief, these purblind and bit ter partizans are seeking in every way to hamstring and cripple the Administration merely because it happens to be a Democratic admin istration. The country's good is to them a matter of no concern. Uncle Joe Cannon, whose vision has broadened with age, differs from his fatuous colleagues. He says: "I was pleased with the message. It followed the constitutional plan of giving to the Congress informa tion of the state of the Union, and left the information with orders for it to consider in connection with its legislative duties." This is, a just and rational view. The Morning Oregonian also finds in the message much to admirt which reminds us that this formerly uncompromising Republican organ has been commendably broad-minded throughout the war, in its edit orial expressions.

In the opinion of the Food Ad ministration the guaranteed price for the l!H!t wheat crop will stand, even though the Lever act under which the rice was fixed, should liecome inopt-rative through conclu sion of peace.

MARION HANSELL BUYS THE MOSE TAYLOR FARM One of the largest tleals ever consummated in Weston lnd has just leen completed by Hey Winn and Marion llanscll. well known throughout the countryside as among its most substantial and successful fanners. Mr. Hansoll buys from Mr. Winn the Moses Taylor place, containing C00 acres of choice land which he has been handling under lease.

The first soldier letter received here since the German surrender come from Sergeant Sidney A. Barnes, and is dated Somewhere in France, November 12. He says: "I don't feel much like writing today, but certainly cannot let this day pass without a line or two. Last night was one of the wildest nights recorded in my experience. The French were nearly crazy with joy and the Americans almost as bed. The program started with- bunch of mad frogs parading on the parade ground right after re treat. The band played The Mar sellaise and the Star Spangled Ban ner. After supper all the soldiers went to town to complete the cele bration. The French joined hands and danced around each other and the Yank., by the light of bonfires. Everylmdy had a flag and cheered for Wilson. Clemenceau, Poincaire, Foch.

We've got no idea what part we take in the last act, but all are willing to do their bit until the last bit is done - happy in the knowledge that the fighting is suspended and the Allies are hold ing the top hand. 1 know you will all be perfectly happy, but think how much more so the French must be after four long years of war and suffering." has been used some at Radiator-Freezing Weather is Coming Make arrangements now for winter storage of your ear in OUR BIG FIRE-PROOF GARAGE If there's anything in the automobile service you need, remember we're ready for you.
