"Thia move, on the part of the man-, ufacturera will mean a niatiirial over production uf their . products.

Help Oregon Soldiers "I am confident the peopla of the atate wil Igive ready respond to thia appeal and I urge that for the next ninety daya every man, woman and child in the aUle do hie or her part by purchasing Oregon made product, Insist that you aecure theae producta, realizing aa you do ao that jrou are assisting In giving employment to the men who righteously deserve it.

The state has appropriated half of the $200,000 upon the promise of the students and alumni to raise the other half. The work is progressing splen didly, backed by interested people, and the amount ia nearing realization. The students of the university have pledg ed themselves to raise $20 each, but the Linn county studenta have decided to give a dance instead of making a personal canvaa in the city. Miss Irene Barrett and Robert Hoot ticher are in chargo of the dance and promise an enjoyable time. The Uni versity of Oregon orchestra will furn ish the music and several features will be staged. The already pretty decorations of the American Legion will be added to by the committee and Oregon colors and punanta will pre dominate.

ALBANY FIREMEN ATTEND SMOMER Royal Time Given Local Fire Fighters by Chief Gra ham's Men " Fire Chief Clark Price and several members of the local fire department went to Corvallis last evening to at tend a tuornament and smoker given by the Corvallis fire department yes- terdoy. Chief Price is highly pleased with the treatment and entertainment afforded him and his men and has a kinds of praise for Chief Thomas Graham, the Corvallis firemen the people in general of the neighbor infr city. During the afternoon demonstra tions and races were held. Albany did not go prepared to enter serious competition, but two of the men enter ed contests on the spur of the mo ment. Russell Bussard went in against four of Corvallis' best men in tho equipment race and won hands down. This race consists of making ' a run, grabbing helmet and donning coat, running again and grabbing belt I and wrenches and then running with ' r.r-.zcl and coupling - up a hose and I yelling for "water.", j In the 100 yard dash Austin Hall , iirpped ai'.l fell nt the start but re covered and got the tape in time to I fu.iih third. He was in heavy shoes i rmi leggings. At the smoker in the evening the Albany visitors were given fine treat ment Chief Graham, in a speech assured Albany that" in case of need at any time that the Corvallis firemen stood ready to respond with their men and equipment and looked for the same treatment from Albany.. Chief Price assured him that this could be counted on. v Corvallis, together with Benton county court, the business men and farmers residing within a radius of five or 10 miles from the city are pfenning on purchasing a light, fast and powerful automobile pumper and chemical machine which will be cap bale of protecting property within a wide area. This is the first move in the state, as far as known, where cit.. arid county have combined to purchase fire equipment jointly and the move ment is receiving commendation. There arc many big fireo from time to time outside of a city's radius in which this cooperation would be high ly effective. .. , Corvallis is planning on holding a state firemen's tournament in the near future. Albany intends to brush up a little on the firemen's stunts dnd in vite Corvallis over for a little contest some time In the spring. ENSUS OPENS TODAY WITH THOUSANDS OF WORKERS BUSY mportant Facts to be Gather ed Quickly by Enumerat ors; Answers are Import ant and Must be Correct. . ALL FIELDS- COVERED Figures on all Industries and Vital Statistics to be Taken Linn County Workers Ready for Task. . Tens of Thousands of persons begin work today in every section of the United State and in the insular possessions, counting t'oe -population of every hamlet, vil lage and city. .The great task . this year is under the dirietion of Samuel L. Rodgers, from whose . offices in Washington are oper ated the vast machinery necessary , necessary to a proper enumera tion of the population. , Probably no previous census has at tracted so much attention. The great est effort ever exerted by commercial organizations in a. I parts of the coun try is being made to see thatno one. escapes the census t'iis. The rival ry between states, cities and conra-m-ities for supremacy is keener than ever before, with the result that near ly every community has organUed committees of business men and wo men to see that every woman and child, of what ever color or nation ality, in eacn community, is reguicr ed. Accusacy Important Previous history has shown that aB frnsus, takers are, iot careful; that sometimes inclement weather Inter feres with the work of the enumera tors, and that for any one of a dozen reasons the total population of a city or town is emproperly compiled. It is to make sure that Oregon is cred- . ited with every resident that manyof ' the communities of the state have formed eommities to assist the en umerators in their work. This most important, work which is undertaken every ten years by the Government, means much to the var ious communities. It also U essen tial that every industry and business establishment be properly I'stei The enumerators rlways are con fronted with r.i?n- rff ci!t!:3. Many persons, especially those of foreign birih, are apprehensive that the infor mation required by the Government will in some manner involve them in difficulties, or will increase tones, or sihrrwise bring about unpleasant cir cumstances. The committees in Ore gon have been asked to explain to such people that the information given cen sus takers in the various districts is absolutely confidential and cannot be used for any other than census pur poses.
