The federal office in Portland is
trying to induce those suitable

County Agent Blown outlined
a plan for enlisting the business

towns in an emergency working
reserve for harvest. Mayor

a phi't or voluntary enlistment

10,000 votes May 17. During
t lie last year perhaps 15.000 to
20.000 voters have located in
Multnomah county, having found
employment in the shipyards.
Many of these men are entirely
unfamiliar with the Oregon sys
tem and with state politics.
These men have had experience
in industrial plants and will only
need to be shown Senator Hus
toi 's record on social legislation
to see the wisdom of voting for
him in the primaries.
Senator Huston began his work
in Oregon in Washington county,
and his friends living at Hills
boro and Forest drove say that
liu will carry Washington county
with not less than 75 per cent of
the Republican vote. And speak
ing about politics. Senator Hus
ton is making his campaign first
as an American citizen and sec
ond as a Republican who favors
supporting the Administration
during the war, and otherwise
stands for Republican policies.
Voters who have not registered
should lose no time in register
ing, and those who have regis
tered but who have moved from
their home precinct should be
careful to have their registration
changed before April 12.
OLD LANDMARK IS PRESERVED
Historic fjeneral Schuyler Mansion at
Albany, N. Y., Associated With
Revolutionary Times.
By the dedicutiuri of the (icnend
Schuyler mansion at Alln.ny, X. T
another Interesting landmark of revo
lutionary days was iicniiiiiientl.v pre
served from the devastating hand of
modern Improvement, notes a corre
spondent. The house is lafi years old,
having been built in 170-T. Its recent
dedication by Governor Whitman,
marked the out hundred and fortieth
anniversary of tiie surrender of llur
oyne at Saratoga. General Schuyler
took un active part in tin; campaign
iguinst the Invading Uritisli finny from
:he North, and, ut Saratoga, lie suf
fered a serious loss in Hie tniruing of
the British of his country litaiie and
mills. Notwithstanding this, he acted
the part of the chivalrous conqueror n
few days later, when he entertained
General Burgoyne and his staff, in
cluding the Ilessinn general, Unroll
Rledesel, and his wife, tit his Albany
home, when, ns prisoners of war, they
stopped there on the way to Boston.
Willi the single exception of the fa
mous Washington headquarters at
Newburg, purchased by the state In
1849, the Schuyler mansion Is more
closely associated with revolutionary
times than any other of the historic
memorials purchased from time to time
by the state for preservation.

Pressed Into Service Because of
Demand for Experts.
Thomas Machln, the engineer
charged by a committee appointed in
1776 by the colony of Massachusetts
with the task of making the first sur
vey for the Cape Cod canal, was
"drafted" as an army engineer by
George Washington before lie could
make a fair start on the survey, says
the Engineering News-Uecord. George
Washington's letter to the chairman
of the committee which appointed Mr.
Machin read :
"The great demand we have for en
gineers hi this department has obliged
me to order Mr. Machin hither to as

"Who Was Beau Brummei"
Do You Know?
He was for many years the favorite of King George IV, ot England and the .
best dresser of his time. "The Beau" was not a dandy as we know the term
in fact Lord Byron said of him that there "was nothing remarkable about
his dress except a certain exquisite propriety."
He naturally led the men's fashions and no more celebrated character ever
lived ever had so much influence on men's dress as did Beau Brummei.
The Beau Brummei Shirt
is, like its namesake, noted for its exquisite propriety its perfection in style,
pattern, fit and splendid workmanship.
It is typical of the master of dress for whom it was named and you will say so
as soon as you see one of these fine, really beautiful garments
When you put one on your back when you see how splendidly it adds to your
dress; how it refines your appearance with a quiet elegance then you, will be
a convert to this better shirt.
Come in and let us show you the line we believe it will be much to your inter
estyes, to your great advantage.
