Wilson Passes Through Aurora Monday Night President Wilson passed through Aurora Monday night about midnigh*. The following special to the Observer came from' the Mt, Clemens News Bureau representative, on the presiden tial train, énroute from Portland to San Francisco:— Aooard President Wilson’s Special Train—From the Capital at Washing ton to the far Pacific coast the Presi dent of the United States has jour neyed on the most unusual expedition ever „undertaken by a chief executive of the nation. To discuss national questions, many presidents have toured the land; but Mr. Wilson is laying before America a question which affects the whole world—-the question of whether or not we are to join in the League of Na tions; whether we are to forget our former isolation and share with the other peoples of the earth the respon sibilities of maintaining civilization and preventing, as he says we can do, future warfare. Most Americans encountered on the tour have forgotten politics. Repub lican Governors and Mayors have in troduced the President to his audi ence; the Major part of the local com mittees which have met him have been Republicans. They have all said: “We are nothing but Americans, Mr. President.” Mr. Wilson’s arguments for the league, briefly summarized, are those: There can be no peace, either now or in the future,' without it. There can only be a regrouping of nations and a new "Balance of Power,” which is certain to lead to war. There can be no war in the future, with the leag&e in existence, because no single nation would defy the united rest of mankind, and if it did, it could be brought to terms by an economic boycott, and without the use of arms. There cairbe ho reduction in th% cost of living until the league is es tablished, for nations will not go ahead with peace time production "un til they know that peace is definitely Airplane Work Tiring. Workers in the “dope” room of aero plane factories are found to be affected ienernlly with a mild form of anemia, but it is not sufficiently pronounced to be alarming.

The reason for this is hat the Englishman puts trees in his shoes, which are polished with/^fie Rather thus smoothed out. The soft ening polish, if applied while the shoe is on the foot, as is usual in America, creases the leather into the shape of he foot and the shoe loses its smooth effect. Trees, which add to the long rife of shoes, are inexpensive and should be put in the shoes every night. If you polish your own.shoes, try pol ishing them when on trees. You will be pleased with the result. Dealers practically all agree that the Oregon hop crop will not go above 35,- 000 bales. It is 20 per cent lighter than it w^s estimated six weeks 'ago.
