UNITED WAR FUND
1 SURE TO EE NEEDED
!
Even End of Hostilities Would
Not Change This.
; Though the war should cease im
mediately It Is said that every cent of
the $170,500,000 sought in the United
War Work campaign In the United
States, for the seven approved organ
izations ministering to the American
fighters, will be needed just the same.
This is the word of leaders of the
fund-raising campaign and their ex
planation Is easily comprehended. In
the first place, it has been officially
estimated that 18 months to two years
must elapse before all the American
boys can be returned from foreign
soil. There are the men of many other
countries to be transported home when
the war ends, so the number of boats
for use of the Yankees will be limited.
Then there is also the fact that thou
sands must remain so long as the great
properties and stores of the United
States have not ben disposed of or
returned.
Immediate cessation of war activi
ties In Europe would plainly create
grave problems connected with the
care of the men. Remove the great
motive which actuates every man at
the front today and throw him into
dull Inactivity, with nothing much to
do but await his chance to return to
home and loved ones, and the work of
keeping him cheerful increases In mag
nitude. The soldier welfare organiza
tions foresee all phases of this grave
contingency. They foresee how great
would be the need for reading matter,
entertainments, amusements, recrea
tion and the cheery personal touch.
urged that no dimunffion fn speed be
allowed to result through recent peace
proposals. Unqualified indorsement '
of the United War Work drive was '
voiced by Mr. Pershing who is one of
tbs leading authorities on conditions
now existing along the battlefront,
and he was especially desirous that
there be no relaxation of efforts in
behalf of the several war work funds.
Best Big Sister.
The T. W. C. A. is known as "The
Best Big Sister in the World." Of the
$170,500,000 to be raised in the United
War Work Campaign $15,000,000 will
go to the work of this organization.
Hospitality to the fighting man and
to his visiting friends, is the motto
of the War Community Service, a
mighty necessary thing.
Yiddish.
Yiddish Is a dialect spoken by the
Jews of central Europe, consisting of
corrupted Hebrew with a large admix
ture of German. It has been carried
by Immigrants to Great Britain and
this continent, and Is now of practical
ly world-wide use. The old Hebrew
Uncial, or Capital, letters are made to
give way to a cursive or script letter
in writing; and a regular written lan
guage, and even a literature has come
Into being. But for religious usage the
ancient Hebraic form and words, em
ployed in the written Torah or Law is
strictly adhered to, and, it will be
found as a tule that even those who
use Yiddish commonly, have also e
familiarity with the ancient language
of their race.
PERSHING WARNS OF GERMAN i
PUBLICITY
Germany's efforts to involve the
United States and her Allies into a:
consideration of peace terms and an '
armistice did not impress james F. I
Pershing, brother of General Pershing, I
as being sincere and designed to give !
the world what it is praying for. Mr. j
Pershing, who was in Oregon recently j
in the interest of the United War Work
drive, which opens November 11, cau- j
tioned the American people against I
the too-common tendency to become .
apathetic under the idea that peace
and the cessation of hostilities are at I
hand.
"When heaven is ready to negotiate
with hell," he declared, "then will
America be ready to make peace with
Germany." He told of the great work
being done in Europe by the Y. M. C.
A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation
Army and other agencies, and called
on Americans to respond liberally in
eupporting the campaign about to open
for raising money with which to carry
on these activities.
"CARRY ON," IS OFFICIAL
CRY
The caution issued recently in
Portland by James F. Pershing,
brother of General Pershing,
against relaxation of war work i
activities, has been echoed in
messages issued by departmental
heads in Washington, D. C,
copies of which were sent to
Executive Secretary John Kol
lock, of the Oregon State Council
of Defense. "Carry on" is the
theme of those telegrams, whose
senders felt the Gerznan peace
proposals might Interfere with
campaign plans Just formulated.
Consequently, the United War
Work drive, which opens Novem
ber 11, will be conducted with
even more vigor than had Ger
many not sought to bring about
peace on her own terms. The
departmental heads, as well as
Mr. Pershing, emphasize the
need of continued activities by
the several affiliated organiza
tions participating In the drive,
even after hostilities have ceased.
TYPHOID
GENERAL PERSHING MODEST MAN
Somewhat Expensive Error.
A large steamer was once wrecked
because one of the sailors was named
West.
The vessel was outward bound from.
Rotterdam, and the sailor was on deeli
polishing some brasswork. Suddenly
the captain called him, and told him
to go below. The second officer on the
bridge heard the captain call out the
man's name, and thought it was an
order to change the course of the ves
sel to the west. He did so, and the
rasult was that the vessel ran onto a
dangerous shoal. That name cost iifs
owners of the vessel the sum of $000,-000.

"All that General Pershing wants
mow is the success of the American
1oys in France, and to avoid, so far
as possible, any glory for himself,"
declared James F. Pershing, brothW
of America's leader In the field, in an
address delivered in Portland recently '
in behalf of the United War Work j
drive, which opens November 11. The
speaker paid a tribute to the men in
the ranks, and gave his audience an j
Sdea of the high esteem in which the
boys are held by their commander.
(He showed the importance of war
work In this country as an imperative '
necessity to the victory of the Allies,
jiq the battles for Democracy, and
Rescuing Fish.
The rescue of fish Is one of the ac
tivities of the bureau of fisheries. It
is an important work, but the nature
and importance of it are little under
stood by persons outside of the regions
in which it is carried on. While the
bureau conserves fish, propagates and
distributes fish and labors to educate
mankind on the subject of fish, it also
rescues fish. In times of flood, when
streams and rivers swell beyond their
banks and overflow wide stretches of
land, myriads of valuable food fish are
carried along with the ' water. The
flood passes, the rivers subside into
their normal courses and the fish are
left inland to perish as the flood-water
evaporates or seeps Into the land.
Gangs of men under the guidance of
the fisheries bureau gather the fish '
from these overflow lakes, which are '
often of great extent, and cast them
loose in the streams or rivers.

OREGON
No. 772
I
Citizens of Oregon, in the week oi
November 11-18, will respond to the
call of the United War Work Campaign
for funds to make happy and effective
the fighting men of the Nation. That
the citizens will uphold the common
wealth's notable record in doing its
share to win the war is taken for
I granted, once the needs are under-
stood.
i Oregon's quota in the joint drive of
: the seven great organizations doing
: war son ice work is $770,000. Prest
j d- nt Wilson authorized this united
drive and named the participating
! bodies. The purposes for which the
'; funds are needed and to which they
are dedicated are vital to the war's
I cucctss.
' The V. M. C. A. has more than 2000
huts in the great battle zone and is
i ministering to the boys overseas, in
j trench and camp, leaving undone noth
ing it can do to help them. In America
the "V" is in every camp and canton
ment. It is with the boys "crossing
over" and, at request of the War De
partment, has recently jolneu in the
task of instructing selectives even be
fore they are called.
War work of the Y. W. C. A. Is thus
outlined by Mrs. William MacMaster,
state chairman:
"Already we have in this country
2,000,000 women doing actual war
work, while another 2,000,000 have re
leased men for service by undertaking
their work. To the Y. W. C. A., 'the
best big sister in the world,' has been
committed by the government and mili
tary authorities the serious respon
sibility of directing the thought, creat
ing the environment and furnishing
the material needs of this army of
girls. Already 105 hostess houses have
been opened, War Service Clubs organ
ized, the Pa.iiotlc League created,
nurses sent where needed and now we
are asked to furnish emergency hous
ing for thousands of girl war workers."
John W. Kelley, associate drive di
rector, says of the Knights of
Columbus:
"Knights of ColumbuB halls are in
operation In all cantonments, training
camps and naval stations In the United
States and the halls are also establish
ed with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, Italy, Russia and
England. The motto is 'Everybody
Welcome', service being given Irrespec
tive of race, creed, or rank. Millions
of cigarettes, pipes, bouillon cubes, gum
packages and tons of chocolate have
been given free to the soldiers over
seas. One of the specialties is the pro
motion of athletics and a considerable
Item in the budget is for baseball equip
ment, boxing gloves, etc. In the war
zone the troops are followed with
motor trucks which are virtually
traveling huts, fully stocked with ath
letic goods, stationery, cigarettes, and
the like."
Needs and activities of the Jewish
Welfare Board, explained by Ben Sell
ing, are:
"In one year the number of our field
representatives has grown from 10 to
213. Now we are faced with the de
mand for 400 addititnal workers in
this country and 100 overseas. The
money going into our fund pays nec
essary expenses and salaries, furnishes
Bibles and prayerbooks by the thou
sands and letterheads and envelopes by
the million, and provides camp, edu
cational and recreational activities for
the fighters, both here and abroad."
"War Camp Community Service,"
explains Emery Olmsrtead, state chair
man, "developed from the commission
created by the War and Navy Depart
ments, first known as the Fosdick Com
mission. The community is Its partic
ular field and thousands of workers
are assisting the towns in caring for
visiting soldiers and sallorB, providing
wholesome amusement and clean rec
reation and Burrounding the camps
with hospitality." ,
Functions of the American Library
Association, says William L. Brewster,
state chairman, are "to provide books
and reading matter to the soldiers and
sailors through co-operating agencies
and directly." Thirty library build
ings have been provided at canton
ments; 3,750,000 donated books dis
tributed; 1,000,000 booko and tons of
magazines sent abroad, and 600,000
needed military technical books bought
and given the men.
These are some things the Salvation
Army does, according to O. C. Bortz
meyer, state chairman:
"On lines of communication our huts
are open day and night. Then, follow
ing their methods, our men and women
go right to the trenches and distribute
chocolate, coffee, doughnut-; and pies.
Sixty per cent of the 1000 workers are
women. We have now 703 huts and
60 ambulances In service. In the past
few months aid has been given the
Red Cross In sending abroad 100,000
parcels."
Here's your chance give to the Y.
M.,' Y. W., K. of C, Salvation Army,
Jewish Welfare Board, Library Asso
ciation and the War Community Serv
ice and you help make a soldier, sailor
or marine happier and better.

Do you want to get a good book to
a soldier, sailor or marine? GIV1 to
the American Library Association.
GIVE to the war welfare agencies
and keep up the morale of our fight
ing forces. .

Do You Think There is
No Competition?
If anyone thinks there is no competition amongst
the big packers he ought to go through a day's
work with Swift & Company.
Let him begin at the pens when the live stock
comes in; let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat
steers quietly and at his own price without some
body's bidding against him.
Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the
plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order
that costs may be held to a minimum.
Let him go up into the office where market
reports are coming in, and reports of what other
concerns are doing.
Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrig
erator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the
country like a fleet of battleships at sea.
' Let him take a trip with a Swift & Company
salesman and try to sell a few orders of meat
Let him stay at a branch house for an hour
or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their
bargains to the last penny as they shop around
among the packers' branch houses, the wholesale
dealers, and the local packing plants.
And then, when the day is over, let him have
half an hour in the accounting department, where
he can see for himself on what small profits the
business is done. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar
of sales.)
If he still thinks there is no competition in the
meat business it will be because he wants to think so.
