STORES WILL CLOSE
ALL DAY FRIDAY
A well attended meeting of the
Gresham Business Men’s association
was held In the City Hall, last night.
By unanim ous consent of those pres­
ent it was decided to close for A rm is­
tice Day, which has been proclaimed
a legal holiday by Governor Olcott.
All the local stores will be closed all
day, Friday, November 11.
John Brown was called on to give a
report of the progress being made by
him in the fight to locate the 1925
Exposition near Gresham. He report­
ed th a t everything was going smoothly
and th a t the answ er to the question­
naire bad been filed, but on account
of cloudy w eather it had been impos­
sible to secure the airplane pictures.
i.- This, however, will be done w ithin a
few days. Mr. Brown reported th a t
the Portland papers are showing con­
siderable in terest in the site, and ex­
pects th a t one of them will p rin t a
tnap and story featuring the site in its
New Year’s edition. The other papers
have asked for maps and pictures,
and some publicity is looked for soon.
A letter was read in which this
locality was invited to participate in
a big night parade, on Wednesday,
November 16, in Portland. It is plan­
ned to have as many fair sites as pos­
sible represented, as the parade is to
boost the coming exposition.
All
who can from here, are asked to a t­
tend. It is hoped th a t Gresham can
have 30 or 40 autos in the parade.
John Brown and E. W. Aylsworth were
appointed by P resident Hessel, of the
Business Men’s association, to meet
w ith the parade committee, in P o rt­
land, W ednesday, November 9.
Raker, H am m ar and H ow itt, three
of the seven candidates for the council
were indorsed by the business men.
They also have the indorsem ent of the
fire departm ent.
i;he business men decided to give
the banquet at noon of the last day of
F arm ers' week, as has been the custom
the past two years. The dates for
F arm ers’ Week will be Ja n u ary 16 to
21.
The County has a crew at work at
the gravel pit, cleaning it up and u n ­
covering sand. They have sent out
the order th a t there will be no more
dum ping of rubbish in the pit. It will
also be locked and in order to get
gravel for any us«'. It will be neces­
sary to go to some one who has au th o r­
ity. In talking with County Commis­
sioner Holman recently, K. A. Miller
made the suggestion th a t an inciner­
ator be established in the pit, and
th a t on certain days rubbish would be
burned, under the supervision of some
one. Mr. H olman expressed him self
as being in favor of such a proceedure,
and told Mr. Miller he would take the
m atter up w ith the other com mission­
ers. No word has been received from
them yet indicative of th eir action on
the m atter.

CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK
OBSERVED NOV. 13 TO 18
November 13 to 18 is the children’s
week of good books. It is the week
when . especial attention is called to
children’s reading and the selection
of books for the child's library. Miss
Norma Lee Peck, the Gresham lib ra r­
ian, has had a g reat deal of exper­
ience with children's books and child­
ren’s reading and. she says, ‘‘I t is a
pity, the am ount of money th a t Is ex­
pended for books th at are read once
and then cast aside. If only a part
of this money were spent for more
perm anent treasures which the child
will grow to love and read and re ­
read for years to come, how much
wiser the investm ent.”
Miss Peck recommends a list of
children’s books from which to se­
lect for a child’s library. T his of
course is only a very small list of the
many available but It contains a
number of the old classics. Any one
who is interested in a fu rth er dis­
cussion of children’s books may con­
sult Miss Peck at the Gresham library.
Books recommended are as follows:
Arabian N ights: ed. by F. J. Olcott.
Anderson: F ariy Tales.
Benson: David Blaize and the Blue
Door.
Burgess: Bird Book.
C arroll: Alice in W onderland.
Clemens: Prince and the Pauper.

STATE FARM BUREAU
URGES DISARMAMENT
The annual meeting of the Oregon
S tate Farm Bureau, at it’s recent ses­
sion which closed Saturday evening,
re-elected George A. Mansfield, of Jack-
son county, president and V. H. Smith,
of Sherm an county^vice president.
T h ree directors were chosen to serve
term s of one to three years. F ran k
McKenna, of Morrow county, was elect­
ed for one y ear; E. B. Brown, of Clack­
am as, for two years; and A. E. W est­
cott, of W ashington county, for three
years.
Those attending the convention from
Gresham and vicinity were W. 8.
Woodle, president of the Multnomah
County Farm Bureau and G. H. Rob­
ertson, the secretary, also D. E. Towle
and 8. B. Hall, of Gresham.
G. li. Robertson was on the nom in­
ating committee.
One of the im portant actions taken
was the adoption of a resolution urg­
ing the United States to take the in iti­
ative In advocating real disarm am ent.
The resolution is as follows:
"Be it resolved by the Oregon State
Farm Bureau federation at its annual
meeting th at the secretary be Instruct­
ed to transm it to President H arding
this expression on our purt of our deep
concern and earnest conviction th at
at the coming disarm am ent confer­
ence tile United States should boldly
take an advanced posltlou in advo­
cating real disarm am ent, as it is un­
derstood by the people, both on the
sea and on land, in any secret or other
preparations for war, to the end th at
the staggering burden of war taxation
may be removed from the back* of all
our people and from the farm ers,V hoin
we represent, who have bqen reduced
to a serious condition by deflation,
lack of adequate financing, excessive
freight rates, and being forced to sell
on a speculative m arket,
“ Resolved, th a t the United States
should, at the beginning of th is con­
ference, clear the way by announcing
our support of real disarm am ent and
our complete willingness fu rth er to do
our full p art In joining with other na­
tions In preserving the peace of the
world.
"We deplore the utterance attributed
by the press to Ambassador Harvey
saying In effect that America would
never join England, France, Japan and
other nations In such an effort. Wo
are for peace. No sacrifice we are
likely to be called upon to secure is
likely a t all to compare with the u n ­
thinkable sacrifice of w ar.” •
Resolutions were also passed thank-
Ing the O. A. C. extension agents for
th e ir cooperation and also to the news­
papers for their undivided support of
the Farm Bureau. Appreciation of the
work of the county ngents and th eir
assistance to the F arm Bureau was
also expressed.
