RED CROSS ACTIVITIES
HERE AND ELSEWHERE
The ladies of tlie Red Cross
wish to return thanks to the Elks
for the splendid donation in the
form of receipts from the enter
tainment and dance Monday
evening.
Mrs. Uohn, chairman of the
Chapter, has appointed Mrs.
Sam E. Van Vactor chairman of
the committee in charge of the
membership drive.
Old linen and muslin are still
in heavy demand.
Don't forget the Bazaar tomor
row. Saturday, nor the big count
ry dance in the pavilion the same
evening.
An appeal comes from the Red
Cross headquarters in Paris for
pumps with which to get water
from the wells in the devastated
districts of France, as an aid in
getting polluted wells cleansed
and supplying safe drinking wa
ter to the people who are begin
ning to return to their homes.
The need is said to be very
urgent.
The Red Cross has opened a
children's hospital and dispen
sary at Evian, France, where
American doctors daily examine
and treat an average of 250 chil
dren. Many of these children
are arriving from behind the
German lines and are in a pitia
ble condition. Contagious di
seases are prevalent. During
the 'first week 2,400 children
were examined, 1,900 of whom
were between the ages of 3 and
13 years.
A drive is now under way for
15,000,000 Red Cross members
by Christmas and it will win.
Most of the effort will be for
memberships at $1.00 a year or
2.00 which includes the Red
Cross magazine. There are 5,
000,000 members at present and
the drive contemplates that each
present member shall secure
two' new members besides re
newing his own membership by
paying another year's dues in
advance. Life memberships
have been advanced to $100.
Thrift Stamps on Sale.
Charlie Notson, the young son
of Mayor Notson, was the first
applicant at the postoffice Mon
day to purchase the new "thrift
stamps" which were placed on
sale that morning and the young
man invested 50 cents in the
new government securities secur
ing two stamps. Charlie's cap
ital for this investment was sec
cured through the sale of an old
and decrepit gun which he pos
essed but being to young to
shoulder the firearm and go to
France he decided to turn his
armament into cash and get be
hind his Uncle Samuel as a fin
ancial backer of the war.
The stamps are on sale at the
postoffice and all investors who
have accumulated 4 00 worth
during the month of January can,
by adding 12 cents secure a war
stamp worth $5 00. The war
stamps are redeemable in 5 years
and furnish a good investment
for small savings.

The County Court has decided
to push the improvement ot the
j Willow creek road into the tini-
her with all possible speed in
order to make it possible to get
fuel out, of the mountains in case
of further congestion of traffic
on the railroads. The railroad
situation is said to be even more
serious than is generally suppos
ed and a complete tie up of gen
eral transportation is not impos
sible. Heppner lias pleny of
fuel a her door however and the
action of the county court in im
proving the road so that wood
may be brought, out in quantity
will meet with general approval.
