There is where the Ameriean Ueil Cross finds its greatest Held for service, aid ing through its ve.-y active Chapters in reaching the disabled man with im mediate practical help,' assisting his family while his claim is emerging from the process of adjust nient, furnishing articles of comfort, funds to tide over the (lillicult periods, the friendly ranch of personal encouragement, helpful recreation nnrt worry-dispelling amuse ment. It is the warm hand of sym pathy and understanding which the American lied Cross extends to the majority of thbse disabled ex-service men, some of them friendless in the wljirl of life, thousands of them with wives and children dependent upon them, find hundreds of them frequent ly helpless in the face of grim ne cessity. 2,679 Chapters Aiding Veterans In ' this work, upon whose areom- plishment the American K'"l Cross is urging a record-breaking enrollment in I the Itoll Call which opens on Annis- j tlce Ibiy anil closes with Tlianksgiv-1 ing Day, 2,(17!t Chapters in all parts of the. country are engaged. This is .'loll more, than were working for ex-service men last year when approximately $10,1X10.(1011 was expended by the Na tional Organization and the Chapters working together in harmonious unity. Tor the current fiscal year National Headquarters appropriated So.firtO, 602.90, an increase of SnO.ViOO.8-t over the amount spent for the work among ex-service men in the year ended June "0 Inst. Since it is estimated that Hie Chapters will expend close to $7,000, 000 from their own funds, the grand total of Red Cross expenditures for this single work is expected again to reach the $10,000,000 mark by June 30, 1923. Hospital and District, Office Work Turing the fiscal year a total of over 1.000 persons, paid and volunteer, lias been engaged In lied Cross duty in hospitals or district oifioes of the C. S. Veterans' Bureau. An average of 8,000 new cases requires definite and par ticular attention eacli month. The de mand for Chapter-ninde articles for liospitnl patients is constant. I luring last year Service Claims and Information Service at National Head--rpmrters handled 37,200 compensation and insurance claims, 24,."(;0 allotment and allowance cases, and 9.700 miscel laneous claims. Since February. UI10.

For those letters rellected Jim's, and breathed a passion that Jim had never fell for her. On the following evening, an engagement, Moll made to .Miss ("Milton's apartment.

The a part men t in which Miss Clin- , ton lived was of the press-a-but loll- j anil-walk-up kind. So Jim was not I keeping her in luxury! Summoning' all her courage, Molly went up to the : top Hat when the door opened. Miss Clinton was pretty, there was no denying that, and Molly felt oddly touched to see that she was quite pass- ! able like herself. "I'm Mrs. I'rotheroe, Hostility llared in;.. eyes, "('nine lo make pose !" she said. "No, just to take n said .Molly. j Miss Clinton opened the door reluc- ; tantly. "Hook all you want to, then," ! she answered. . ! "I haven't come here to quarrel with 1 you, Miss Clinton," Molly said. "I just j wanted to find out well, you see, I j know everything, and I wanted to lind out what Jim sees in you that be doesn't see in me." The Other laughed uncomfortably. "Oil, Jim and I met and found we were meant for each other. I guess that covers everything." "He thought that about me, per haps." "Wore off, maybe." "Will it wear off with you?" "I don't know, nor care," answered Miss Clinton. "That's the beauty of It. That's, what keeps us together. You fool, didn't you know that?" "I've never been exacting," said Mol ly humbly. "I've worked for him when we were poor I slaved for him." The other softened. "My dear, I've never slaved for a man In my life, and never will," she said. "I guess the truth is you're the typical wife, uud I'm the typical well, you know." "Are all men untrue to their wives when they've thought about them all the time?" "Mostly, I guess. You see, a man doesn't want a servant when he mar ries. He'd much rather come home to love, with a dirty icebox, or sit down to hash and kisses than a housewifely meal. I guess you haven't learned that, Mrs. I'rotheroe." "No. I've been a fool," said Molly. "Ah, well, that's the secret," Miss Clinton answered. "You can't hold love by housework." "I guess you're the type of woman the men go to," admitted Molly. "Hut maybe I've got a secret, too." "What Is it?" "They always come back when their wives lire big enough and brave enough and loving enough. And I'm the type they come back to. They do get tired of hush and dirty iceboxes and Broadway dinners, too." "Maybe," answered Miss Clinton. And Molly vent down the stairs, pondering the old, unanswered ques tion : "Which would I really rattier be?" EDUCATION BILL . WILUWSE TAXES Thousands cf Pupils Now in Private Schools Would In crease General Levy. One hundred per cent Americanism is a fine tiling we all want it and nearly every one stands for just that. Cut there are a good many people who want to define the other fellow's Americanism. Seme think 100 per cent American ism just now mantis to close up all of the old established private schools in Oregon, in which several thousand ,pupil3 are being trained for life's work and to force their parents, through the so-called compulsory education bill to be voted on in November, to go to th e public schools. There is no.v in force and has been f;:r many years, an educational hill which compels parents to educate th'ir children; but, following the con dilution of the United States and of i -egon, it gives parents ths right to say whether they shall educate those c li'.ilri n in private, or public schools, l.in, that doesn't satisfy a certain ele ment, an mbers of which have now initiated a proposed law to close the private schools and deprive the par em s of any chuico of educational a v.'.ci'cs. -; : ' ii 1 1 1 this hill become the law of or. -..i,i, it would add more than $1,- l i the tax rolls by throwing ! of private reboot pupils in . 'schools and onto the gen .'o::s. Large sums would have e. c ndeil for buildings and the private school buildings would be scuttled by this act. Taxpayers would therefore have to shoulder this additional burdun without g piling anything worth while. iinu.ii. i tuo.is.'i 10; ! 1 1 1 . .' ': i r.ii ;a.x .'o: 1" I." i'M 0'i 1 i Jl in c tit.

The swaying notes of a jazz tune coming from the sky In a clear bary tone voice caused hundreds of shop pers ut Eighth avenue and Fifty second street to gaze upward In wonderment. On the roof of one of the five-story buildings they glimpsed a man holding a megaphone to his mouth. When he had concluded the song the man announced to the world at large the opening of a new grocery and butcher shop on the ground floor of the building on which he stood. New York Sun. WAUM.VG TO THE I'IBI.IO Notre Dame in Danger. Apprehension is felt regarding the decay, which has Just been discovered, In the delicate sculptures on the front of Notre Dame cathedral which are found to be crumbling after the strain of centuries nf exposure. Various chemical processes tried re cently failed In the purpose of con solidating tie ancient stones, and i nly succeeded In spoiling the beautiful old surface nf the gargoyles and other lace-like decorations. Paris Cable In the New Vork Amerlt.au There are certain lots and parcels of land in the City of Heppner, and particularly in the business district that are kept in Bitch a condition to be a reflection on any city. With little effort and pride these condi tions could be remedied, and the owners and occupants of these lots have been frequently requested to remove the offensive and unsightly conditions, but so far such requests have been without avail. Ordinance No. 67 of the City of Heppner en acted by the Council on May 1st, 189a, provides, among other things, as follows: Section 2 Any person or persons who are the owners or in the possession r en titled to the possession of any lot, piece or parcel of land situated with in the corporate limits 'if the City of Heppner and who shall allow or per mit any slop, paper boxes, barrels, manure, wood, trash, scraps, reffuse rubbish, ffol or filth to remain or be on said lot, piece or parcel oi land, on any stret or alley within said city abbutling said lot, pice or per cel of land, shall be deemed guilty of a' misdeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of n-jt less than $5.00, nor more than $50.00, or by imprisonment in the city jail not less than two days nor more than twenty-five days.

Then be sure to understand the true meaning of the School Monopoly Bill which is called on the ballot the Compulsory Education Bill. The reason that this name is misleading is because we already have compulsory educa tion under the present existing law, and we already have compulsory teaching in English in all schools. What this bill really proposes is to substitute srara control over the education of your children for your control. . The people of Michigan have already overwhelmingly defeated this measure, because it attacked the freedom of education. Protect your rights which are being endangered do not be misled by the name of this bill. Read the proposed bill carefully. Read the campaign literature. Find out the intent of the bill which is disguised by the title. t You will find that that they propose school monoply. A hidden attack upon freedom of education.

After repeated efforts, receiving no response, she reports your line as "out of order." It is then disconnected from the regular switchboard and placed on a special board where it awaits the attention of the repairing forces. All this takes time. It involves tests, reports and generally a trip to the location of the trouble. In the meantime, what happens? Others have been unable to reach you by telephone. Even if the mistake has been discovered and your telephone placed on the hook, service may not be restored until the "troubleman's" final O. K. On a party line all other telephones on the line are deprived of both incoming and outgoing service for the same period of investigation and repair. Off the hook" is a most common cause of in terruption to telephone service.
