Mrs. Martha Rhodes, one of the Portland subscribers
of the Observer writes si word of appreciation of the value
of the Observer as a local paper, and states incidentally
that she is 81 years of age, an invalid, but working for
the Red Cross all she is able. Such is the irrepressible
spirit of loyal American womanhood that excites the ad
miration of every true American. American women, young
and old, are meeting the problems of the war with a
fortitude and a courage and willingness to serve their
country in every emergency, that cannot be surpassed.
Work done for the great Red Cross organization is a work
of universal mercy that will bring relief, comfort, and
peace of mind to multitudes of gallant American soldiers.
May the choicest of blessings rest upon Martha Rhodes
and millions of her loyal sisters!
The committee on education, of the Portland school
board, has recommended that the teaching of German be
discontinued in the Portland schools. Many students have
dropped the study of their own accord, and there is very
little demand for the course in German. The class of one
high school teacher of German became so small that she
asked for a year’s leave. The committee’s plan seems the
best way to “Americanize” the Kaiser’s tongue.
The mounte bank antics of Mayor Harley, of Astoria,
at Washington, are almost as interesting at his pugilistic
encounters in Astoria. He (or some one else interested in
“knocking” the Oregon congressional delegation in gener
al and Senator McNary in particular) is spending a nice
sum in flooding Oregon newspapers offices with his “ham
mer” literature, all couched in the choicest idioms of prize
ring and the gambling-house.
