What Has Your
Red Cross Money
Done?
Has Sheriff Wilson
Made Good?
*
In the tii*Ht place, it has enabled the American people, through the Ued
CroHH, to help care for Its army and navy.
Secondly, It has enabled America to hearten her A llies’ fighting force« and
to keep up, among the civilian populations, the spirit to win the war. That,
alone, lias made the American Ued Cross one of the largest factors since our
entry into tin* war.
Canteens which provided food and hot drinks—more than a million meals
to soldiers in December; warehouses, crammed with materials, situated all
along the French line, all along the Italian lines, at seaports and at places
where our soldiers are going to fight; institutions for the care of consump
tives, institutions for the re-education of maimed men—these are a few
of the concrete accomplishments abroad.
At home the millions of woolen sweaters, mufflers, socks and other
comforts for the men in ramps; • the work of sanitation around cantonments
and the help and advice given dependents of soldiers and sailors—these
■*
are things that will “make you, your children and
your children’s children,
in whatever part of the world they may be, proud of being Americans.”
Will you do your share to keep this Hand of Mercy at its work?

The Portland Evening Tele
gram evidently thinks so for in
its issue of May 1st, it devotes
two columns of space telling how
Sheriff Wi l s on of Clackamas
County converted a former well
known dive keeper, and made a
useful citizen out of him. It tells
of two other specific cases where
kindness to fallen ones in the
sheriffs k e e p i n g , has started
them out on the right road. It
points to his administration as
that of the ideal official.
Sheriff Billy Wilson has etern
ally chased the bootlegger, never
forgetting however, that the law
breaker is a human b e i n g .
“Sheriff W i l s o n ’s Humanity
Scores Big” says the Telegram.
He has driven notorious dives
out of Clackams County —once
and for all. The Friar’s Club is
no more, Erickson’s Tavern is
done for, and The Bell Hotel is a
thing of the past.
He has operated his office with
one less deputy than his pre
decessors, and his tax depart
ment has collected more money
at less expense than any other
county in Oregon.
He has worked night and day
as chairman of the County Local
Board, and has done his work
well without one c e n t of ex
pense to Uncle Sam, who asked
him to take the job.
If you want this sort of a man
for t h e sheriff o f Clackamas
County, cast your vote for,

Sheriff
Ray Eschleman In Hospital
Ray Eschleman of Estacada,
who is employed in lumber work
near Divide, Oregon met with an
accident Saturday, which result
ed in his being taken to the Good
Samaritan Hospital in Portland,
where he is suffering f r om a
badly bruised thigh, dislocated
hip and possibly internal injuries.
The accident was caused by the
snapping of a steel cable, which
wrapped about his body.
Word received from Willie Still
of Eagle Creek, who is stationed
in Texas, stating that he was
to be tranferred shortly to th e
Hawaiian Islands.
What might have been a ser
ious accident to E. N. Foster of
Eagle Creek Monday, resulted in
only slight injuries wh e n he
stepped and slipped from a mov
ing automobile and his hand was
caught under the back wheel of
the machine. Mr. Foster w as
taken to Estacada where his in
juries were dressed by a physi
cian.
A group of Upper Eagle Creek
girls spent the after-noon with
Naomi Paddison l ast Saturday
when Naomi’s 15th birthday was
celebrated.
FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
—TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED
Since the day of the caveman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri
can Tobacco Co.—that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea—simple
like all great inventions—was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to-
baccoand LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like a pipe.
