6IRDMEN FLYING FOR
At the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon today, Or. D. V. Poling,
army Y. M. C. A. worker stationed
at the Oregon Agricultural college,
was the speaker, and In the course
of his address ha said:
'The reconatruotlon days are here.
The bout rou Its of the war should
bo tuken advantage of. The days of
elfish consideration are gone. It
Is no longer every man for himself,
but every man for every other man.
The outstanding facta of this war
warrant the belief that we are on
the verge of a great day of commun
ity development. The nation's re
sources are to be laid undor tribute
for the good of the white people. The
supreme sacrifice of our American
soldiery will go for naught unless
the nation at large I willing to Inarn
the losaon of this conflict and ap
propriate them to It own develop
ment. Grants Pass la not Joaophlne
county, Portland Is not Oregon, each
Isolated soot Ion must be reached
with whatever blessing the nation
Itself enjoys. The back to the farm'
cry will not be realised unttl every
remote section of the land baa felt
tho Impetus of the nation's recon
struction plan. The country boy and
the girl In the out-of-the way places
of the eountry are entitled to all
that the city boy and girl enjoy, only
as this is so will the development
of the whole people be realized.
"One of the roady means of com'
munlty development Is that of com
m unity singing and community reo
reatlon. Mun and women are only
children grown, and the play Instinct
Is in every normal man. Nothing
will so develop this and afford It an
opportunity tor expression like com
munlty aong. A singing community
Is a harmonious community and a
harmonious community Is a winning
community. Life becomes wortk
while.
"A movement Is now on foot
which 'promises to become nation
wide In which the gospel of commun
ity song Is to be carried to the re
motest bounds of the country. The
value of thta aa a community asset
cannot be overestimated. General
Pershing haa said that aong waa one
of the big factors In the success of
the American soldier. What is true
aa a war time measure Is trite tor
our peace times. Iot's sing."
Then Dr. Poling proposed that the
business men and ladles present
push their chairs back from the table
and sing aa he led them. In "Old
Mack Joe, Lll 'Lla Jane,"
"Where the Morning Glories Grow"
and the latest army song hit "Then
You'll Know You're Home." Ai I
song leader Dr. 'Poling is a wonder.

that the delegate ahe send must

The world war through which we
have so recently passed la the great
est event in the world's history since
the beginning of the Christian era.
The part which Oregon has played
In this world war will be remember
ed long after we and our children
are dead. Our heritage ot this war
will bo our record ot patriotic
achievement', and thta record will be
made In two ways: It will be the
record of our boys who were in the
service and the record of those of us
who stayed at home and tried to do
our part by supporting our govern
ment and the boys.
Oregon's military . record stands
head and shoulders above that of
any other state. Oregon was first
In the enlistment and had a larger
percentage of Its population undor
arms than any other state In the
Union. The records of the old Third

never die and of which every Oregon
citizen may well be proud. - The re

1TED4I TO
ENFORCE DRY LAW
Washington, Apr. 21. The de
partment of Justice is sot averse .to
accepting the functions of enforcing
the war-time prohibition measure
when it goes Into effect, July 1, it
was learned today. Consequently, it
is expected a proposal that the en
forcement be entrusted to this
agency will be submitted to Presi
dent Wilson on bis return from Eu
rope. .
Discussion ot where the power to
enforce prohibition' may be lodged
was prompted here by the recent an
nouncement of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper that his bureau
had not the force to police the na
tion adequately with respect to pro
hibition violations after July 1.
Attorney General Palmer has not
stated officially that he will welcome
the additional duties of enforcing
prohibition, but it Is said that his
advisers in the department of Jus
tice have told him that enough secret
service agents are available to take
on this function.
Nothing substantial stands Imme
diately in the way ot production by
brewers of beer containing 2 per
cent of alcohol, since the revenue
bureau has decided to issue revenue
stamps required for regular beer to
these brewers. Formally, tbe bureau
still bold that beer containing more
than one-half of 1 per cent of al
cohol is intoxicating and cannot be
produced under the president's order.

Washington, Apr. 21. Through
out the United States tbe Victory
Liberty loan campaign opened today,
the last, and. probably the most spec
tacular of the five money drives
made by the government as the prin
cipal means of financing the war.
Several hundred thouaand citizens
have enrolled as volunteer speakers,
or solicitors for this issue of Victory
notes, sod for many months the
treasury, through the 12 Liberty
loan district organizations has been
perfecting selling plans.
From public platform, theatre
stage, movie screen, and street cor
ner box, citizens will receive the ap
peal to buy notes to provide ' the
funds which virtually have already
been spent for war purposes since
the signing of the armistice. From
door to door volunteer canvassers
will go in an effort to make 'the num
ber of subscribers to this loan exceed
even the 20,000,000 of the Fourth
loan, '
Among the spectacular publicity
features arranged by the treasury to
call sharp attention ot the American
people to the loan, are aerial demon
strations, war exhibit trains, posters,
exhibition of captured German sub
marines, and military exhibitions.
Three special trains will tour the
country, carrying squadrons of air
planes, manned by celebrated Ameri
can, French and British aces, to
make circus flights over cities. Four
teen captured German Fokker planes
will be used In these demonstrations
together with the best type ot Amer
ican planes.
To each community oversubscrib
ing its quota a community honor
flag will be awarded by the treasury
aa an official acknowledgment ot
the achievement. . Similarly an In
dustrial honor flag -will be given to
each business firm, church lodge or
other organization with 12 br more
members, whose members subscribe
according to a prescribed proportion.
More than 250,000 ot these-flags
have been placed in the hands ot
distributing agencies.
(Medals made from captured Ger
man cannon are to be given to each
member of a Victory loan commit
tee. The medal is about the size ot
a half dollar and bears a design ot
the United States treasury building.

SNOW AT CRATER LAKE
Klamath Falls, Ore., Apr. 21.
There is nine feet of snow at Crater
Lake now according to H. E. Mom
yet, assistant superintendent ot Cra
ter Lake park, who keeps the re
cords there during the winter
months. This Is the normal amount
of snow for this time of year, he
stated. There Is twice as much now
aa at this time last year.
The Crater like highway Is open
and in fair condition between Med
tord and Prospect; closed on account
ot snow between Prospect and the
park boundary. It probably will be "
open by July 1. On account of the
heavy snowfall it is doubtful If autos
