“ TMs Is to be the last Liberty
Ixian!”
These words we send to you, still
thrilling with the joy that was ours
when they came to us; not for the
promise of work curtailed; not for the
lifting of a financial burden from
weighted shoulders, but for their re-
Bounding cry of victory, heralding a
thanksgiving call to all the nations of
the earth.
Six months ago we urged you to
dedicate your services and your money
to the use of the government that vic
tory might be ours. The magnificent
response from the women of Oregon,
and other states, by their consecrated
loyalty and generous support played no
small part in bringing joy to the world
on the eleventh of last November. Our
money, lavishly loaned and used, was
the dynamic force that prostrated the
German barbarians, and stopped the
slaughter of our splendid manhood.
The magnitude of our preparations
struck terror to the enemy, for it im
plied the obligation America had taken
upon herself, and her grim determina
tion to see it through to a glorious
finish.
MRS. TRUMBULL SPEAKS
“ NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE” ?
TO AURORA CLUB WOMEN A Donald correspondent to the Salem
Child Welfare Day at last week’ s
meeting of the Aurora Woman’ s club
was an interesting event, at which
Mrs. Clara Atkinson was hostess, as
sisted by Mrs. W. P. Wurster and Mrs,
Percy Ottaway.
The chief feature of the afternoon
was an address by Mrs. Millie Trum
bull of Portland. There was also an
instrumental solo by Mrs, J, S. Van-
deleur, and a chorous by the High
School Girl’s Glee Club. The national
anthem and the national hymn were
sung.
Mrs. Trumbills address covered the
whole range of child welfare. She de
dared parents are resDonsible for most
juvenile shortcomings.because of faulty
discipline. She would keep children
childlike as long as possible. She would
have girls wearing their hair in “ pig
tails” down their backs instead of pil
ing it mountain high upon their heads
to attract the boys,
She advocates
stern dicipliue, almost to adhesion to
the principle of the old adage, “ Spare
the rod and spoil the child” . Follow
ing the address the inefficiency of school
boards was warmly discussed and mere,
men “ got theirs” ,
Mrs. Sarah Evans of Portland was
also a guest of the club—at the dinner
that followed the afternoon program.
Mrs. Evans was president of the Ore
gon Federation of Women’s Clubs for
10 years, and is one of the prominent
women of the state.
The dinner guests of the club were
Mrs. Trumbull and Mrs, Evans of Port
land; Mrs. Robinson and Mrs Green of
Canby; Mrs, Gribble and Mrs. Yergen
of Donald; and Mrs. Vandeleur, Mrs.
Foster, and Misses-Kuebler, Kelly and
Smith of Aurora.
Journal declares there is a “ nigger in
the woodpile” in the matter of the
designation of roads to be paved. The
Journal article says. “ A large gath
ering of people met in the DeSart hall
on Monday evening to talk over the in
terest of Donald and vicinity in regard
to the paved road from Champoeg to
Donald arid Aurora. A resolution was
passed to have the road pass through
the Main street of Donald, 38 voting
for it and 12 against, and Champoeg
was for the direct route, but it looks
as though there “ was a nigger in the
woodpile” as the very next day it was
decided to turn north at the school
house corner and run north one half
mile. Why they should go the farth-
erst way around against the majority’s
wishes is the question. Seems there is
some wire pulling somewhere.”
BERRY MEETING TOMORROW
Senator Lachmund and L. G. Bulgin,
of the Pheasant Northwest Products
Co., will speak upon the berry business
at the Odd Fellows Hall in this city to
morrow (Friday) afternoon at 2 o ’clock.
Farmers are especially urged to hear
their discussion. They will make plain
the terms upon which their company
enters into contracts for one year or as
many as the grower desires. They will
discuss the whole question of berry
culture—outlay, expenses, profits,mark
ets, everything. It will be a rare
chance to acquire information that
every farmer should have—information
concerning an industry that will bring
profits, big profits, to ,every grower
that gets in on the ground floor.

BOLSHEVISM— ITS CURE
President Wilson has asked for food
to stop the wave of Bolshevism roll
ing westward out of Russia. No in
telligent person doubts the value of
food as a first aid, but at bottom
the security of our institutions rests
upon the working interest the people
take in those institutions.
Citizens having no interest in a
government, no economic interest in
the success of that government, are
apt to be the first victims of vicious
propaganda or unbalanced political
theorists. On the other hand men and
women who have invested in their
government either by way of conduct
ing private enterprise under its pro
tection or through direct purchase of
government securities have something
at stake and desire to maintain stable
institutions. Such persons are not
necessarily reactionists.
They may
be quite progressive and anxious for
reform where reform is needed.
Consequently the effective barrier
to Bolshevism in America today is
thrift and investment. The philosophy
must reach into the workshops of the
nation. It is reaching into those work
shops and into the schoolhouses of
the nation in the form of the Thrift
Stamp and the War Savings Stamp,
interest paying engagements of tfte
United States government which can
be bought for as low as 25 cents.
When everybody in America is buy
ing Thrift and War Savings Stamps
as a habit, one won’t hear much about
the I. W. W. in America.
It is the financial and patriotic duty
of every American who loves real
liberty to get the Thrift Stamp habit
