Red Cross Wants War Vets Attention
'The local Red Cross urges all
veterans of the world war to file their
applications for- adjusted compensa
tion immediately. The local office
states that up to the present time
only about 1,300,000 applications have
been filed altho a total of 4,500,000
men and women are eligible.
An important reason for urging
prospective beneficiaries to file appli
cation immediately is that the face
value of the insurance certificate
furnished to the veteran is dependent
upon his age at the time of filing
his application, the amount decreas-
ing as his age increases. Further-
more, if the veteran dies without
filing a claim, his beneficiary, upon
making application, is entitled to
much smaller amount than would be
received if the veteran himself had
filed the request. The local office in
the First National bank building,
The Dalles, is prepared to help all
ex-service men fill out application
blanks.

Moro Library Proven to be Needed
A recent contract entered into by the
management of Moro Theatre will enable
us to present to the theatre guing public
of this vicinity an unrivalled list of
drama and comedy by prominent and
nation known stars.
Moro public library has passed
through the first year of its existence
and in this short time has given
abundant reason for its existence,
there are about four hundred volumes
in the library. Besides these there
is brought in from time to time a
circulating library from Salem, which
adds both quality and variety to the
books offered the public. During the
last twelve months the loan of books
have averagad more than two hundred
per month. Some bookr are natural
ly in more demand than others. Lo
cally, the overwhelming desire seems
to be for the lighter fiction. Mr.
and Mr«. Schade thru their courteous
treatment and lively interest in books
will continue to serve the public as
they have during the year that is
past. Call on them at the drug store
any day of the week except Sunday,
and they will d® their best to accom
modate you out of the stock in hand.
The library is directed by a board
consisting of seven members, elected
in three groups as nearly as possible,
and for a term of three years. The
directors are appointed by the coun
cil, and the budget is likewise now a
part of the budget of the city of
Moro.
The present directors are
D. E. Stephens, Roy F. Dean, J. E.
Coleman, Henry G. Hanson, Mrs.
W. C. Bryant, Mrs. Rv A. Feenstra
and Mrs. E. R. Barzee. Mr. Hanson
is president and Mrs. Barzee aecietary
