Church in connection with preparations for the great drive for $105,000,000 to be raised throughout Methodist Episcopal Churches in May, were not as well attended as they should have been. The District Superintend ent, the Rev. T. B. Ford, D. I)., Oregon City, the Rev. J. Brown of Gresham and the Rev. Earl B. Cotton of Pleasant Home arrived that morning to take charge of the proceedings. Strong and able addresses were made by the differ ent speakers. Dr. Ford giving a very comprehensive and clear account of what this movement is and which it purposes to do. This Centenary Campaign is pro bably one if not.the greatest un dertaking by any religious body as far as raising of finances is concerned. It will begin May 18th immedi ately after the conclusion of the Liberty Loan, and will last ten days. This sum is to be raised thro cash donations and pledges extended over a period of five years. It will be divided between the home and foreign fields and for reconstruction work in the war zone of Europe. The Ladies’ Aid served splendid repasts at noon and evening. W el| K now n C ounty R esident Passes A w ay James W. Roots, for many years a resident of Boring, and one of the most widely known re sidents of Clackamas county, died at noon Friday, in Los Angeles, where he had been taken for the benefit of his failing health. He left Oregon City Tuesday of last week, and had been at the south ern city a few days only when death came. Mr. Roots was 69 years of age. He was heavily interested in pro perty in Eastern Clackamas. His wife was with him at Los Angeles when the end came. The body will be brought to Oregon City for interment, and services will be held upon its arrival under the direction of the local lodge of Elks, of which deceased was a member. A SU G G ESTIO N How would it be to get up a banquet for a get-together and heart to heart discussions between our business men, farmers and citizens generally, on how to promote the interests of this com munity? In many towns the business men meet once a week at a noon luncheon for this pur pose, and much good is accom plished by these informal talks gatherings, but probably the evening hour would be more con venient here. The Revs. T. B. Ford, D. D. and Earl B. Cotton left Saturday morning for Pleasant Home where the latter is located, after being in attendance at the Meth odist conferences on Friday in the local church. $1.50 P e r Y e a r W E D STIRRING Two weeks have been added to the period of the Victory Liberty Loan slogan contest. Instead of closing March 22 the final day will be April 5. This extension of time was made at the request of the South ern California Liberty IiOan com mittee, which will make a special campaign to arouse interest dur ing the last three weeks in the hope that good enough slogans may be created to give Southern California the distinction o f winning all three of the cash prizes of $3«. $20 and $10. The only limit in the contest is the number of words that can he used in any slogan. Twelve is the limit but the shorter the better declares the Slogan Editor, who adds, “ We want a stirring battle cry that will express the spirit of the country in floating this loan.” Here are a few of the thousands that have been submitted: “ Victory R ofu I h Bind V ictory." “ Don’t Quit Because the Kai«er Did." “ Are You Grateful? L oan." “ W hat is Victory W orth to You?" “ Prosperity for P o sterity .” “ You Ordered Victory. pHy the P rice." “ This Loan is the LsHt. L et’s finish it F a s t.” " I f You Don’t Like our Victory IiOHn, Try Germ any’s ." C hange of Tim e S unday The change of time for the next six months takes place Sun day when all clocks are to be put one hour ahead. An effort was made to repeal the law, but there were so many in favor of it. that the law was left unmolested as the saving in commercial and manufacturing establish m e n t s throughout the country last year was enormous. Too late for insertion as the forms were filled up, a report was received of a dastardly out rage by young hoodlums last night, whereby a little girl’s par ty to her Sunday School class was broken up and the refreshments stolen. We must postpone com ment till nent week. .
