îh e presidency and both branches of
congress are in the hands of the Repu­
blicans. The electorate has overthrown
the Democratic administration and all
its acts and policies.
The league of
nations has been rejected, and Wilson-
ism utterly repudiated.
Great Democratic strongholds like
New York City, Boston, the Louisiana
“ sugar belt” have turned their backs
upon the Bourbons. Apparently, Hard­
ing and Coolidge have received the
greatest popular vote and majority ev­
er recorded for presidential candidates.
Locally, the only rift in the Demo­
cratic clouds is the handsome vote giv­
en Chamberlain, who ran far* ahead
of his party. The*following are some
of the local precinct results:

Illicit Liquor Deal
Involves Several
John Kraft, who was forced at the
point of a gun, to take two men and a
load of moonshine to Portland last
week, afterward identified one of the
men as Harry Robbins of Portland and
states that the other is known as Chris
Hostetler.
Kraft, who lives on the Larson road,
says these-two men were driving a car
which went into the ditch near the
Kraft farm last Thursday morning
about 5 o ’ clock.
They came to his
house and asked help. He went with
them to the car, but could not get it
out of the ditch. It is said Kraft took
his gun with him but the men were so
polite that when he returned to his
house before starting for Portland, he
left the gun. But once the “ dressed
chickens” (as they duboed the cargo
of moonshine) were transferre* to
Kraft’s car, one of the men poked a
gun against Krafts ribs and ordered a
little more speed.
After unloading the “ dressed chick­
ens” at Portland, the men offered
Kraft a drink and told him they would
bring him a gallon when the# returned
for their car. Kraft did not notify the
officers until Thursday night.
It is intimated that there are several
others of the Hubbard Elliott Prairie
section involved more or less directly
in this matter.

41 votes and Cox 29, with a few scat­
tering votes for the socialist and other
candidates.

decisive vote except the Portland
Dock Bill, which carried 119 to 68.
Single tax went Yes 22, No, 190. The

Observer
Justice of the Peace Owens of Killen,
a few miles east of Hubbard, was tak­
en to jail Monday charged with violat­
ing U • federal prohibition act. It is
j said that several gallons of moonshine
ani prune mash were found at the
Owen’ s place.
Frank Robins, one of the men who
forced John Kraft to carry them and
their booze to Portland, is said to have
obtained his liquor from Owens.
Owens is the father of four small
children whom he has cared for since
his wife’s death. It is reported that
his main worry, however, is the effect
his arrest will have upon his re-election
as justice of the peace.
The federal officers found a still up­
on the place and it is believed that
Robins took it there and that he made
the mash.
Red Cross first aid activities
in the Northwest division this
year have been chiefly devoted
to “water first aid” instruction
_and organization. Several units
of swimmers have*been organ­
ized and trained in communities
on the sound and western rivers,
and rescues have already result­
ed from the Red Cross'work.
OXASTER RELIEF PROVES
BEST MATSORAL INSURANCE
When the man on the street is ask­
ed" for his annual Red Cross dues of
$1 during Roll Call week, November
11 to 25, he will know that half of
that dollar stays in his own communi­
ty. If he has done an average amount
of Red Cross reading he will know
that a small slice out of the other 50
cents is appropriated to “disaster re­
lief.”
But unless he is one of the excep­
tionally few be will not know what
“disaster relief” has meant to the
world during the life of the American
Red Cross, nor will he realize what
small slicos of dollars will do if there
are enough of them.
In the Northwestern Division, time
after time the relief organization has
met its crisis and has stood the test.
Twice in Oregon in December of 1919
—at Mosier when fire left families
destitute and again when the Marsh­
field chapter cared for survivors and
recovered bodies of the dead from the
wrecked schooner “ Chanslor” — the
test was met. In 1920 came the land­
slide at Juneau, Alaska, and the hotel
fire at Klamath Falls, Oregon. More
people learned that “disaster^ relief”
means things in the lives of men.
In the 38 years since its incorpora­
tion up to June of lj>l§, the American
Red Cross had participated in 180 dis­
aster relief «expeditions. It directed
the expenditure of approximately $12,-
500,000. Before the organization had
attained its present large membership
funds often were raised through pop­
ular subscription for such large dis­
asters as the Mississippi floods a,ad
cyclones of 1882 and 1883, the Texas
famine, the Armenian massacres of
1893 and 1894, the Martinique volcano
eruption and many others.
A list of all the Red Cross relief
work in times of fire, flood and famine
would take pages. Long before the
organization under the stress of war
and war’s results had grown into the
lives of millions, disaster relief was
one of its foremost activities. The
Congressional Charter under which
the Red Cross has operated since 1905
sets forth as one of the chief purposes
of the organization: “ to continue and
carry on a system of * * * relief
and to apply the same in mitigating
the sufferings caused by pestilence,
famine, fifes, floods and other great
national calamities.”
And now, with its wonderful organ­
ization of chapters, branches and aux­
iliaries reaching to the farthermost
parts of the nation, its members in­
structed and ready for action when
the occasion arises, Red Cross “ dis­
aster relief” has become accident in­
surance for the world.
A copy of the Oregonian for January
11, 1894, which came to the desk of the
Observer has an article on hops, by G.
A. Muecke, tHfen a grower and dealer
of hops on a large scale. He discusses
the cost of production and states that
growers estimated the cost of produc­
ing a pound of hops at 8 to 13§ cents.
But he adds that no one really knew
the actual cost.
Mr. Muecke said
Sonoma county (California) hops were
best and the Butteville district hops
next in rank—in quality.

Local Bank Honors
Novel Draft
Askansas ranks 46th in educations1
matter, but it has at least one com­
munity that wants to rank first. Bear­
den, Arkinsas, is that place. It has
809 boys and girls in the district—but
due to a series of misfortune, it has no
school house.
The people are poor with little tax­
able property, but the prosperity and
developement during the war brought
hope of better things. A bond issue to
the limit was voted, bonds were sold,
and a site bought and paid for by vol­
untary contribution. The building was
erected but a storm completely wrecked
it, and the district is without a build­
ing. In the meantime labor and ma­
terial have gone up, the district funds
are spent, the bonds and interest must
be paid—and no building, no teachers,
no school for 809 children of the dis­
trict,*;
Fo^'these reasons the Bearden school
board has requested every bank in
America to honor its draft for $1.00
for immediate aid, in order that the
“ boys and girls of Bearden may not be
deprived of the school advantages
necessary to make good citizens.” The
president of the Farmers & Merchant
Bank of Bearden, Arkansas, certifies
that the above statements are true, and
adds that it is unthinkable that 800 boys
and girls in one community in the Unit-
States should be without school.
Thousands of banks, throughout the
nation, among them the Aurora State
Bank, have honored the Bearden school
boasds draft for $1,00. To show their
appreciation of the aid, the Bearden
high school's commercial department
will be dedicated to the banks and
bankers of America.
Though Oregon stands near the head
of the list of states in educational rank
none of our communities can surpass
the little Arkansas town in its sacri­
ficing loyalty to educational ideals or in
its efforts to do its full duty to the boys
and girls who will soon be its best
citizens.
Robt. Shimmin has gone to Camp
Lewis for the winter to act as instruct­

Loveall of this city. Young Loveall
joined the Marines at their recruiting
station in Portland on February 6th of
this year, Before sailing on the trans­
port for far-off Guapi, he had served
at the big Marine Corps Post at Mare
Island, Calif. Guam, where the first
shot of the Word War was fired by an
American, is known to the Marines as
“ The land-without a worry” . A squad
of Marines accompanying a prize crew
under a command of Commander W.A.
Hall, U, S, Navy, fired at a motor-
launch of the German ship Carnorran,
interned at Guam, on the morning of
April 6th, 1917, This shot was fired a
short time after the United States had
declared a state of war, and Corporal
Cordery will go down into history as
having fired that historic shot.
