11 SUPPLY AMBU
LANCES FOR 3D ORE.
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.
