With this uloKun tho Alhamhru California Chapter of (he Hod C'rosB notifies the Inhabitants of every town from Los Angeles to San Francisco that they should do their bit toward bringing back to health the thousands of maimed and helpless American heroes cared for by Uncle Sam In the letterman Hospital at the Prosldlo, Ban Francisco. When the Rod Cross flashed tho word to Its various chapters in south era California that the hospital need ed fruit, tho Alhanibra-Sun Gabriel Chapter was tho first to respond. That enorgetlc branch of tho Itetl Cross recently loaded a Model 1 1 He- public truck with til) boxes of orang cs, weighing 2 4 tons, nnd delivered the fruit over the Inland routo to the bay city. Easily shouldering the overload this Republic made the Journey with out Incident, covering tho 4 so miles on an avcragn of H'A miles to the .gallon of gasoline nnd ISO miles to tho gallon of oil. "That economy record" said Harold ti. Arnold, Republic Distributor of Los Angeles, "is quite tho usual thing in reportB which we get from Republic owners. We have hundreds of commercial enncorns who are in creasing their fleets of Republic trucks because they find that Repub lics ore free from mechnnicnl diffi culties and combine economy with reliability, power and speed. That Is the reason why the Republic factory is now the largest producer of com mercial mchicleB in the world. To attain that enviable position they build rjonulnr priced vehicles which are dependable under tho most severe conditions of road and load." Adv. TOMORROW is Mother's Da v. Few people have boon able to write about mothers without sloppinu over. But Kipling was not one of them. His "Mother o Mine" remains one of tho most genuine and satisfying Tributes ever penned : If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' Mine, O, Mother o' Mine, I know whose love would follow me still Mother o' Mine, O, Mother o' Mine. If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o' Mine, O, Mother o' Mine, I know whose tears would eonie down to me, Mother o' Mine, 0, Mother o' Mine' If I were damned of bodv and soul, Mother o' Mine, O, Mother o' Mine, ' I know whose prayer would make me whole, Mother o' Mine, 0, Mother o' Mine. WOMEN-ARE NEEDED. TT IS .SYMPTOMATIC of the times that eastern florists fihould be aecused of profiteering in white and red cat nations. Nothing Ls saered to the profiteer. Even mothers alive and dead are exploited for selfish and degrading gain. But this disheartening phase is hound to pass. Un moral equilibrium of the world is certain to be regained. And in that regeneration the essential spirit of lnotlii-.i- hood will be a vital factor. For that essential spirit is the spirit of charity, forgive ness and patience. The world seems full of naughty chil dren. Entire nations appear to have plunged back into the baffling barbarism of adolescence. The immediate pre scription is largely concerned with force symbolized by a spanking machine,' fortified by machine guns, starvation and exile. .. As with children so with the grown ups. A few can only be regulated by the paddle, Kut a vast majority respond far better to a program of firmness tempered with understand ing and patience. Nearly all women appreciate this, the men are slower to comprehend. So the world needs this mother spirit. I here is nothing sentimental nor lachrymose about it. As a matter of.lact such an attitude takes tar more courage and re straint than a blind response tq,thc primitive instinct of beating up everything that annoys. And experience has amply demonstrated that where the hair brush and willow switch tail about nine tunes out,ot ten, the more enlighten ed treatment succeeds' in about the same proportion. It is unfortunate women in the, mass aren t more poli tically aggressive. They are needed in the world and do mestic polities today as never before. . RipplingRlujmos by wait Maron BALMY DAYS THEN arrives tho month of May, winter's gone, beyond dispute; which reflection makes us gay, and our loud bazoos we toot. It is good to go to bed, twenty minutes after ten, knowing that the storms we dread for long months won't come again. It is good to rise at morn in a balmy atmosphere, gazing on' the sprouting corn, and the playful colt and steer. May s a pippin and a peach, o'er whose charms all bards en thuse; of the pebbles on the beach, she's the one the wise boys choose. Oli, a month ago we felt, that the win ter might return; and the sleet again might pelt, and there might be snow to burn. And it kept us in sus pense, and the weather prophets all were forever on th-t fence, knowing not what might befall. And a month from now we'll fry in superheated air; and no doubt the passers-by will forgive us when we swear. But May brings us no distress, in her genial smiles we bask; cli mate, as we go to press, is the smoothest man could ask. It's the month that hits the spot, after winter, cold and drear; every other month, 1 wot, should be May, throughout the vear. How You Can Avoid a Direct Tax by Voting 4 Percent Increase I'OHTI.ANl), May G. Tho Oregon Roads nnd Dovolopment association, of which W. L. Thompson, of Port land, Is president, Is receiving many letters commending the proposed constitutional nmendment raising the state bonding limit from two to four per cent. "ThlB amendment requires no ad ditional taxation whatever." said Nel son Honey, of Kugene. "As soon as the people realize that their property will not be taxed but that Instead a possible levy, in the event of the mea sure falling to pass when it is voted upon, May 21, may be made, they will vote for the measure. "The gasoline tax and automobile license fees nro sufficient to pay In terest upon and retire all the bonds without their being Increased. Those owning nutomobiles will be benefit ted without additional cost and those without machines will be benefited without any cost whatever. Tho pres ent funds have been exhausted or contracted for but road-building must not cease." "Wo want roads regardless of the fact that good roads cost much money to construct. e want our taxes to be less, If possible. We can't hnve good roads without Increasing our taxes greatly if we construct them without government aid.'" writes Jay YV. Dunn, one of the commissioners of Lincoln county. Mr. Dunn then analyzes the possibilities which mie.ht occur should the proposed road bonding nmendment carry. "1 am wholly In accord with the effort now making through legisla tive, action to further tho good roads movement within our state," writes William F. Woodward, of Portland. "It is simply a means of realizing and securing to the people of this state assets hitherto unused ami unavail able: products of field, forest nnd mine lie dormant until they can be made profitable and useful thru the medium of well constructed roads. And If there were no other resource than taxation to meet the cost of these roads, wo would still bo in favor of them, but when tho construc tion of these highways is carried out by means of an Impost which in no senso can be called a burden, nnd is almost wholly received thru channels hitherto untouched, there can be, in our estimation, not one word against tho measure." "We will not issue a bond beyond that which is already provided by law and only as tho money Is needed to carry on the work adequately," said R. A. Booth, of the state highway commission, recontly In McMinnville. "This ls no time to play in the mud. The commission had no idea when it started to build permanent highways that the present immense traffic would follow. "The commission does not aim to rush the road game this summer as there would be a shortage of labor and we do not Intend to call out labor for the roads when it proves a detri ment to other industries."
