Members of the Beaverton Honor Guard were called upon for a patriotic service a little un usual for their organization, but they took up the work with all the ardor that has character ized this chapter from the first, the work is well under way and will be finished before the week is done. The task assigned them is no less an undertaking than to se cure the names of residents of this school district to the Wash ington CountyPatriotic League's loyalty pledges. This not onlyj requires that they call at every house in the district, but that a large amount of explanation be made if many people are not to refuse to sign because of a fail ure to understand the purpose of the pledge. ' This work is meetintr with a very few refusals and Miss Mary Fitzpatrick, leader of the Honor . Guard, expresses the belief that most of these few refusals are due to a failure to understand the purpose of the pledrre. There is nothing in the league pledge that anv loval citizen of America need hesitate to sign; but its wording is not the sim plest and there have come in stances where perf ectlv loval people refused to sim because they did not regard it as neces sary or did not understand its, purpose. The number of aues tions that are asked and the kiw of questions are remarkable and much honor is due the voung ladies for undertaking and com pleting the canvass. fellow who never goes near the annual meeting and then kicks all year because the school isn't run to suit him. Bear this in mind Monday and let's have as near a 100 per cent vote as possible. Cut your bread ration in half keep on using potatoes. There's still a surplus.

RECOGNIZING MERIT. That State Treasurer Thos. B. Kay is never slow to recocmize good service nor hesitates to re ward it when in his power to do so, is well known, but there are few more striking examples of it than his recent action in nam ing the Bank of Beaverton as a State Depository. That the rec ord of the bank fullv justifies it. no one would deny, but there are many banks where the state funds would be absolutely safe. But any person who knows of the long hours, careful effort and effective management which Doy Gray gave to the Third Lib erty Loan will at once approve of Mr. Kay's choice. THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
