An appeal which should strike a re- I sponsive chord in the hearts of every I loyal son and daughter of Oregon, is being made by the Oregon Army and Navy Auxiliary, which is now seeking to secure sufficient funds for the pur chase of one and perhaps two or three Army ambulances for the 3rd Oregon Regiment, which is soon to see service on the battlefields of France. It is a big undertaking, this work if securing funds by popular subscrip tion, but in such a worthy cause the women sponsoring the movement be lieve that the people of Oregon will respond quickly and with patriotic enthusiasm which will insure success. There are some; perhaps, who can give but a dime, but such a contribu tion will be welcome. It may be that a dime given today will be the means of saving the life of one of Oregon's sons when this ambulance is pressed into Bervice on the firing line of "No Man's Land." "It is a splendid movement and one which should receive the support of the people throughout the state," declared Governor Withycombe. "It is a cause in which every man, wom an and child can do his or her 'bit' for their sons, their brothers and their loved ones." Thus far approximately $2400 has been raised, of which J 1800 has al ready been applied on the first am bulance which has been ordered and is now being shipped to Oregon. Ar rangements have been made for the acceptance of this and other ambu lances by the War Department in be half of the 3rd Oregon Regiment. This type of ambulance costs $3075, and is a regulation Army machine, fully equipped for immediate service at the front. All Oregon residents who desire to contribute to this worthy cause in be half of the Oregon boys, are urgently requested to mail their contributions at once to Mrs. 11. E. Oliver, treasur er, 507 Corbett building, Portland. Men and women In this city who are members of this campaign committee are likewise requested to redouble their efforts at once and forward all subscriptions to Mrs. Oliver at the earliest possible moment. The 3rd Oregon is soon to leave for a Southern cantonment camp, from which it will sail for France within two or three months. This makes it absolutely necessary for the people of Oregon to complete their contributions for the ambulance fund at once. Every cent collected will be used solely for the purchase and mainte nance of ambulances, as all who are assisting in the work are donating their time and services, being actuat ed only by patriotic motives. EXTENSION DIRECTOR EXPERIENCED FARMER Mr. Center Was Born, Reared and Schooled on Farm, and Knows Farm Conditions. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Aug. 30. O. D. Center, the new extension director at the Oregon Agricultural College, arrived at Cor vallis last Saturday and has already taken up the work of getting some of the best farming and homemaking information available at the College before the people of Oregon. Mr. Center has training and exper ience in farming. He was chore boy and field hand on his father's farm in Illinois, making a full hand at the age of 14. He got his schooling in off labor seasons, first in the district school and later in a union high school five miles from his home, while still farming. When he was married he began life on the farm, which he left to study agriculture in the Illin ois University. Even here, he farmed. He was made manager of the experiment station farm for the last two years of his course, and was kept on the job until he resigned in 1910 to be come superintendent of the Illinois Farmers Institute. When he left this position he went to North Dakota as district supervisor of the N. D. Bet ter Farming Association. He next became farm demonstrator of Grand Forks county, and on leaving took up farm extension work as director of the Idaho University Extension Ser vice. He left that work to take up like work in Oregon, but not until after he had transformed it from chaos into one of the most scientif ic extension systems in the entire United States. He not only knows farming from these various angles, but he knows farmers and being one himself is able to enter into fellowship with them. Fire Had a Good Start. What might have developed into a full sized fire had it not been found and extinguished when it was, was the small blaze started in the big stable of Willis Stewart at the rear of The Gazette-Times office by some small boys one day this week. The boys had come into possession of some matches and were determined to make use of them, whether good or bad. The fire was discovered by Spencer Crawford and put out before it had a chance to get going good. The little boys were admonished by the city marshal for their act and they promised not to do such foolish things again. Fred Tash and family returned on Monday from an outing of ten days at the Ditch Creek camping grounds. r Batteries Re-Charged We have recently installed a new TUNGAR RECTIFIER for re charging batteries. -:- -:- -:- -:- Not another one like it in Morrow County.
