SALVATION ARMY GETS
CO. ADVISORY BOARD
FIELD REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
' ARMY ORGANIZES COUNTY
A PRACTICAL WAY TO SAVE
Dozen Representative Citizens Vnite
to Help Worthy Organization
in Welfare Work
Chas. E. Wildish, field representa
tive of the' Salvation Army, spent a
few days in Heppner last week in the
interest of that most worthy organi
zation. - . .
Mr. Wildish was sent out from
Chicago a short time ago to assist in
organizing advisory boards in every
county in Oregon, with a view to ex
tending the philanthropic work the
Army has been carrying on through
out the world for many years.
The present organization campaign
has for its object the broadening of
the work of the Army, the object be
ing to extend its humanitarian work
into every nook and corner of the
United States.
The Army is neither a sectarian
nor a political organization and its
object includes no taint of personal
aggrandizement nor financial reward
for its officers and . wor'kers.
The work of the Army covers the
widest possible field in an endeavor
to help those who most need help.
The advisory board of each county
is requested to investigate and make
confidential reports on a wide range
of subjects including poverty as re
lated to the old and Infirm, infants
and small children; the unemployed,
with reference only to dependent
cases; juvenile delinquencies; miss
ing persons, with every possible ef
fort to locate such and restore them
to their families, with particular ref
erence to boys and girls who go to the
cities to seek employment and who
ate in need of the shelter and protec
tion of the maternity homes provided
for such cases by the Army.
Prison work, pauperism, children's
homes and the needs of soldiers and
sailors either in the serv'ce or those
who have beca recently discharged,
bIso receive the careful attention of
the Army.
Americanization of aliens and oth
ers who need assistance along the line
of development into I'lrti-class Am
erican citizens also comes within the
scone of the Army.
Mr. Wildish called a meeting of
citizens at the council chamber on
T'misuay afternoon, when en crjttvnl-
zntion was cllect.ed and ih" Morrow
County Advirory Hoard was oipiini.

Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte. L. A. Hunt,
U. J. Vauglian, J. A. Waters, E. R.

The board will hold another meet
ing before March fith when a confi
dential report on conditions In Mor
row County covering such subjects at
seem to pertain to thin county will be
sent to the Portland headquarters of
the Army.
RIGHT-OWllLE
Shoe dealers, whom many of us are
Inclined to look upon as the last
word in profiteers, with their $20
high-heel-high-top product, may not
be ts bad as we have been thinking
they are.
!'Do you want to lower the price of
shoes? If you do dig your old shoes
out of the closet and have them re
paired instead of buying new ones."
This is the advice of A. H. Gent
inger, president of the National Re
tail Shoe Dealers association,, who
says that some 13,000,000 may be
saved annually in this country by
getting your old shoes mended. This
will reduce factory orders, conserve
leather and give the manufacturer a
chance to catch up.
Not a bad idea.
"Before and After" in the Near East
.YE KILLS ORCHARD TREE -MOSS
Joan J. Kelly was in town Monday
from the Thompson ranch on lower
Butter creek where he is lambing a
band of 2200 ewes. He says the
weather isine down that way and he
is having fine success. The ewes are
being fed alfalfa hay with a corn and
oat ration and the lambs are doing
well.

Lye, a pound can, dssolved in six
or seven gallons of water or lime
sulfur spray used for scale, will rid
orchard trees of moss and lichens to
very great advantage. Western Ore
gon orchards not sprayed with such
sprays as lime-sulfur and bordeaux,
develop a coating of these unsightly
growths, says W. A. Smart, O. A. C.
crop pest assistant. His investiga
tions show that while most fungicidal
sprays kill these growths, lye seems
to c:UHe a quicker breaking up and
weathering away. It must be applied
before the winter buda begin to open
to avoid injury to the tender leaves.

From rn'seryto comfort and self-respect in five days time, simply through
the magic of an American ten dollar bill, is a transformation that Is being
wrought daily in Western Asia by the Near F.ast Relief of 1 Madison Avenue,
New York City. The group of five Armenian children shown in two pictures
here have reason to bless the American donor of that ten dollar hill. With
this money, the e:;pert workers of Near East Relief in Armenia were aide to
rid the poor children of their loathesome rags and to clothe them with new
garments of alaju cloth, woven In a Near East Relief Industrial plant nnd
sewed Into garments by the mother of the children. The mother was also
paid a small fee for her services In making the garments.
Tliis was a lucky fumily. There, are thousands of others not so lucky
In the Near East, simply because of lack of other ten dollar hills.
xt.,.. i'm.-i Pnii,f u nsk-lncr the American people to contribute funds
to gave the starving In the Bible lands. It Is estimated that over VJ'iO.OOO
adults are In desperate need, and 2."0.000 children are orphans and must be
cared for. For the sum of $180 ft year Near East Relief enn not only feed
and clothe and shelter an orphan child, but can also give a course In educa
tion towards ultimate self-support and independence. Many of these orphnns
are being "adopted" by Americans, who are providing funds for the support
of one or more over a given period.
