ELIMINATE TliE TOLL Hi MICE
U fft'llis the general sentiment that
the toll charge itjiplit-J hv the U'le
lihone company to all liet'Acen tie
Hulk) Kiver ariti tfciell exchanges is un
just to the pctiijianvs' patrons of Mell
and an ap arent ditcriniiration atrainst
them. It was naturally to be expected
that the Odell people woulj protest
the toll, hut merchants arid tiusinea
interests of Hood Kiver and orchard
its of other sections have expressed a
-eritimeiit favorahle to the protest.
No one, who has taken the time to
gain a comprehensive understanding
of the public utility's urgent need for
additional revenue, has been heard to
raise a complaint against an increase
in rates, but the means of graining ad
ditional funds by the toll charge is
fairly universally condemned.
The toll charge is unfair to Ode 1 1
patrons. The exchange established
there was not primarily for their bene
fit but as a convenience to the com
pany. Odell residents should not be
placed on a toll basis when many of
their neighbors of other orchard dis
tricts, whose service is through the
city exchange, live further from the
district's chief trading point thai; they.
The toll charge is indirectly a disad
vantage to merchants of Hood River.
Odell residents have been accustomed
to conduct much shopping by telephone.
The toll chartre will limit this to abso
lute necessities.
It was argued, when the rate was
applied fur, that the toll charge would
tend to eliminate all but necessary calls
and thus prevent an ovet loading of
trunk lines between Hood River and
Odell. Hut much of the conversation
on the rural lines takes place among
those on party lines and among the
residents of the district themselves.
The toll rate will not apply in such in
stance. Nor is the principle of the
argument fair to Odell patrons. The
subscribers of this section phould have
a right to use the telephone system as
freely as thnse of other sections of the
valley. We will admit of the necessity
of additional revenue, but it should be
raised by a more eiiuable apportioning
of the increased charge for service.
We would suggest, as a means not
necessarily for limiting calls, but to
limit the time consumed, that the live
minute rule be put into effect. It is
indeed rare that a telephone consversa
tion cannot be ended in five minutes.
This rule should be applied, not only to
the Odell lines, but on all the system.
Visiting ( ver the telephone is a greater
nuisance in the country than in the
city, the city having more phones de
voted exclusively to business purposes,
but does exist in tow n. Long, visiting
conversations over the telephone should
be prohibited. Those indulging in such
practice should really be classed with
the citizen who leaves his garden hose
running of u summer's night.
It is generally desired that the toll
charge be eliminated. Let's see a con
ference between repesentatives of all
(dasses of subscribers. Let this con
ference determine on some flat rate,
equitable alike to the Odell subscribers
and the company. Then let an appeal,
one representative of all Hood River,
go forward to the I'ublic Service Com
mission. We believe that early action
toward eliminating the toll charge will
be taken.
Ol'R CHRISTMAS
Hood River should have a happy
Christmas todav, because the little city
of the Apple Valley has many children.
While the yuletide season, for lit) cen
turies has been a time for the renewal
of the spirit of good will toward our
fellows, it is more particularly a day
devoted to making glad the hearts of
little children. There is something
sublime in the Christmas morning faith
of the little tot in a real Santa Clans,
who has loaded down an evergreen tree
or filled to overflowing a stocking. And
to glimpse the faith of babes makes to
glow the gentle but deep-burning hu
man tires in hearts of elders. It seems
almost profane to compare Christmas
w ith a eiivus, and yet Christmas day
and circus day are somewhat alike.
How much iimre joyful all of us are if
we participate in the activites of both
in the company of kiddies.
From a community standpoint we of
Hood River should celebrate today in
happiness. In the main we. have real
ized our visions and wishes of the New
Year of 1010. We have been busy,
perhaps busier than ever before in'our
history. We are enjoying the rest in
the lull following apple harvest. We
have been prosperous. We look to the
future with a merited optimism anil
confidence,
Christinas a year ago w as a great
occasion of reunion, following the re
turn from army and navy of some son
or sons, for many families. Still other
parents remained anxious. Today ptae
tiddly all of the boys are back. Hap
piness will be the lot of all families.
The spirit of "I'eace on Larth, Good
Will Towad Men," will pervade all
Hood River todav.
Merrv Christmas!
SIIsE'ALK LEGISLATION NEEDED j
Hk1 River needs a criminal ordin- '
an ! to erforee the cleaning of side
uV.r.s. loo many of the residents,
wa.t for a Chinook wind to come along
and blow its breath. We wonder that '
merchants have not petitioned the'
council to enforce rulings on clearing (
ii.e s dewalks the past week. The d;s- j
dru.eful condition of the walks has j
kept many women shoppers at home.
If the eitv is not going to have an
ordinance that will bring cleared
streets, it should hire enough men to
do the work and charge the expense to
the general tax fund. The streets
should be cleared. Nor. resident prop
erty owners are the worst offenders,
out they are by no means alone.
A harbinger of spring, the Glacier
has just received from Representative
-Sinr.ott a couple of mail pouches filled
with flower and vegetable seeds. Mr.
Sinnott had the arrival of the seeds
timed just right. Ten days ago it
looked as though planting time never
would arrive. The seeds are for gen
eral distribution. Anyone may have
;ia kages of the seeds by calling at the
Glacier otlice. No children will receive
seeds without written orders from par
ents. This measure is taken to prevent
youngsters from wasting the allotment.
As some will remember, children re
quested beans last year for use in their
-ling shots. They made fine ammuni
tion. Seeds will be sent on request by
iiottal card. No distribution, however,
will be made by request over tele
phone. We approve the announcement of the
Anti-Asiatic Association, not to take'.a
bill before the legislature, called for
special session in January by Governor
Ulcott. The five measures designated
are sufficient to keep the solons busy
the entire extraordinary session.
If you know of any little shavers
whose family is in poor circumstances,
get busy yourself and pass the word
around. Do not let Christmas pass
with any unhappy little boy or girl in
Hood River.
We wish the members of the Knights
of l'ythias band a Merry Christmas.
A'e hope the blowers and drummers
are continuing to learn, and that Hood
River will soon be able to listen to
their initial concert.
Cleopatra dissolved pearls in vinegar,
when she wished to be real extrava
gant in her dining. In these days and
times she could have set herself above
he general herd by serving turkey.
Spokane barbers are striking for
nigher wages. Their demands, it is
said, will mean higher priced shaves
and hair cuts. Will the man operating
on himself be a scab?
Too many of the citizens of Hood
River have awaited the coming of a
chinook to relieve sidewalks of their
obstruction of slush. In plain English,
our sidewalks have beeu a disgrace.
O.F.C. COMMITTEES
ARE APPOINTED
In the December issue of the Bulle
tin, announcement is made of appoint
ments of chairmen of standing com
mittccs. The Bulletin follows:
My dear Club worker, Greetings,
and my best wishes to each member of
your club for the coming Christmas
season. This it to be a glad season
for us all, yet we must he reminded
i hat the people of the United States
today are facing problems that should
tie met with clear thinking, cool deter
mination and great courage. The
women of the nation have been called
upon to help in this time of stress and
l hey are rising to the occasion and giv
ing aid in many ways. They must
continue this unselfish work until the
present period of unrest has passed,
and the disturbed social life has re
gained its normal calmness.
One factor that will help to stablize
this restlessness is the awakening of
community consciousness and this can
be brought about by a group of inter
ested people. As the nation is com
posed of people banded together in
communities, improvement in these
small units will add strength to the
whole structure. Close at hand in
every community are problems that
need attention. These fields of study
have limitless possibilities within the
borders of each community. The home
job is a big one, and, with a new sense
of values, its many aspects which were
never before seen as they are now.
Instead of being a nation of novel
readers as were the people of yester
day, they today crave more nourishing
food for their mental diet. Instead of
reading romances, they are concerned
about education, public health, child
welfare and other vital questions.
Through earnest study and deep think
ing they are trying to accomplish con
servation of life, of happiness, of civil
and mitionnl integrity.
Profiting by the experience of the
past they should face the new problems
with confidence, intelligence and self
control, firm in the hope that, moved
by the spirit of broad altruism and un
failing loyalty, they shall help to bal
ance the unrest which is now possess
ing the world. As an independent body
of thoughtful workers, the Oregon Fed
eration of Women's (Tubs can exert an
influence on the communities of the
state which will add strength to the
nation. Community service is the home
job and it is a good place tp start.

Red Cross Christmas Seals
Great interest is being manifested in
this year's sale of these little messen
gers of health and the sale in nearly
every county in the state is being car
ried on by the Federated clubs. This
is most gratifying as it puts Oregon
on a par with many other states where
this splendid work is sponsored by the
Federation of Women's Clubs. See
that your club returns are one hundred
per cent for this needed cause.
Much as the Christmas seal has done
for Oregon in the past, it can do more
in the future. Much of its power in
the past has been due to the support
given it by women's clubs and by in
dividual club women who have had the
vision to see in it a mighty democratic
agencv for the promotion of life's
greatest asset, health. Much of its
power in the future will be due to
these same women of vision, women
who recognize the danger which lies in
the apathy of the post-war reaction
and who have the strength of purpose
to carry on the reconstruction work
which shall make the war worth the
price that has been paid for it. Club
women, get back of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal. Buy and get others
to buy.
f LIB REPORTS
Amity Study Club
Our club continued our regular meet
ings during the war activities and our
members responded to every call for
the work.
Helgian Bottles receipts, $15.00;
Scholarship loan fund, $1.00. We have
tried to keep in touch with the State
Federation work and have started our
work for the new year with enthusi
asm. We have raised for the Louise
Home the sum of $15; also $20 for
Albertine Kerr Nursery and have col
lected 35 quarts of fruit, one sack of
potatoes and apples to be sent soon.
Civic Club of Pendleton
To the Officers and Members of the
Oregon State Federation of Women's
Clubs, the Civic Club of Pendleton re
ports as follows :
In the early club year no club work
was done because of war conditions
followed by the flu. In March a vigor
ous anti fly campaign and other sani
tary measures were started with the
press, the schools, the city council and
every other possible agency enlisted in
the work, which brought very satis
factory results. The committee wom
en were both diligent and faithful, and
the work was continued throughout the
season. In May the club assisted the
county demonstration agent in giving
a successful dairymen's luncheon.
Flowers were planted in the park,
and in order to encourage the growth
of flowers and more interest in beauti
fying homes, a rose show was held
June 4th, at which time nearly $350 in
cash and merchandise were distributed
by our business men for prizes.
The League of Nations was unani
mously endorsed and the secretary in
structed to so notify our congressmen.
Fifty dollars were used in fountain
repair work.
Madam Francesca Zarad, a French
soprano singer of Chicago Grand Opera
Company, was recently presented by
the Civic Club. The concert was a
success from every standpoint, artisti
cally, musically and financially, $125
having been cleared by the club. This
amount, with the addition of $25, has
been given to the Umatilla county
library for the purchase of current
magazines for the coming year.
Respectfully submitted.
Mrs. E. T. Wade,
President.
Ladies' Annex of Prineville
The Ladies' Annex, of Prineville,
devoted most of their time to Red
Cross work last year, as our Red Cross
work was very heavy. We also assist
ed in all war drives. Our activities
along lines pertaining to club work
were not great, but this year we are
planning our work more extensively,
especially along the lines of civic im
provement. The ladies have taken up
the matter of a public library, j er-'
ma: ent public camping ground, rest i
lOOiiis, etc. j
luring our Interstate fuir our club;
ope -.ed two public rest rocms and fur-1
listed a nursery in connection with.
ttie;n. e nave teen instrumental in
sec iring $50 for the U. of O. Woman's
Uu.lding fund. Our Lyceum course
for this winter is also to be given
um er the auspices of the Ladies' An
nex. Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Robert W. Douglas,
President.
Tuesday Afternoon Club
The Tuesday Afternoon Club of
I'or tland, which is stictly a study club,
will celebrate its twentieth anniver
sary the week of November 18, 113.
The past year's record is one in w hich
-acrifice and strained effort play their
art; but the recital of the club's
.ict.vities gives an inadequate sugges
tion of the varied directions in which
he energies of the individual members
vere otherwise expended during the
)Ui-y months.
In October, 191S, at its first meeting
if the year, the club purchased a Lib--rty
Bond, which was soon afterward
;old at its face value and the money
ihus received divided equally between
he Armenian relief and the Tubercu
losis fund. The club at this time also
'esolved itself into a Red Cross unit.
.x through the yiar the members met
at 10 a. m. each Tuesday for Red Cross
ivurk, but devoted the hours between
2 and 4 p. m. to the regular calendar
work, by this plan and by intensified
effort satisfactorily completing, de
spite the influenza ban of five weeks,
the regular study which had been out
lined for the year.
Dining the years 1!i17-1S respectively
the club had studied the "Backgrounds
to the Romantic Movement in Litera
ture" and "The Romantic Movement."
The reactions to that movement, which
resolved themselves into the varying
hales of later Nineteenth Century
Realism, quite logically, became the
subject of the past year's study.
I'nder the leadership of Mrs. E. J.
Hieeht, who will take office on Octo
ber 8, 191t, we will take up the study
of our own country, seeking to discover
for ourselves in the records of our men
of thought and of actionj the signifi
cance of that thing which is called the
Spirit of America.
Respectfully submitted,
Jennie A. Marshall,
President.
Newbcrg Civic Improvement Club
The Civic Improvement Club of
Newberg at the close of war activities
took up their civic work by giving a
benefit picture show for our newly
organized band, then a reception and
social evening for our Boy Scouts.
In conjunction with the Wednesday
club a social was given for the benefit
of the Scholarship Loan fund. Our
club has donated to the Woman's
Building at Eugene.
A reception was given in honor of
Edith Knight Hill, our club being ably
assisted by the Wednesday club and
vice versa.
During the Motor Boat Regatta we
served hot meals for the benefit of our
own treasury.
We have a committee working with a
Commercial club committee for the
pim hase of a new park site and re
poils are most favorable.
We have taken an active interest in
the i ursery drive.
Plans for a Hallowe'en frolic are
being made by a social committee. We
belong to the Yamhill County Federa
tion and were most enjoyably enter
tained by the McMinnville club June 7.
We feel that we receive much benefit
from our County Federation.
Respectfully submitted,
Jennie D. Miller,
President.
The Dalles Sorosis Club
Keeping in mind the admonition of
our State President, "nothing but ser
vice which is our unbounded duty to
ward our country," we worked faith
fully toward that end. A few mem
bers of Sorosis Club belonged to the
home service department of the Red
Cross and discreetly distributed funds
to deserving soldiers and their needy
families, who applied. Paid all club
dues and other obligation as follows :
Traveling fund for I'resident; $5 for
literature for soldiers in hospitals;
$t2.25 f'r Woman's Building at U. of
O. ; Scholarship Loan fund, $11.25.
Heartily sanctioned the Malheur
Lake Bird bill and wrote our repre
sentative at Salem to that effect.
Worked in all Red Cross and other
patriotic drives, and succeeded in al
most permanently bringing about the
cure of a crippled child of our com
munity. Displayed the American Flag
at all meetings and increased our
membership very materially in spite
of the fact that our women the past
two years have been engrossed in war
work. Georgianna Curtiss,
President.
Corvallis Woman's Club
Patriotic and humanitarian are the
two words descriptive of the work per
formed by the Corvallis Woman's Club
the past year. The club has bought
bonds and many of its members have
assisted in the Liberty Loan drives
We knitted, sewed and made bandages
as long as there was demand, vieing
with one another in accomplishing the
most possible.
When the Spanish influenza came our
clubhouse was placed at the disposal
of the War Department and became a
prophylactic station. All who would -hundreds
of our citizens, in fact re
ceived free examination and treatment
insuring control of the disaese and
! probably saving many lives. Because
I of these measures Corvallis and the
col'ege suffers! very few f.italities.
In . ooperation with others oi.r metn-
en prepared proper food and hot
meals for the sick, often supplying
a hole families.
Committees collected clothing for !
the tlelgians and more recently tor the j
Xrmer.iar.a. We are now asMSting in
a'sir.g funds for the Fireproof Nur
rv. We have undertaken the pur
chase of suitable lots to be presented
u our city for a public library site.
The earnestness and zeal with which
this enterprise is undertaken assures
.n advance its success.
So many and varied have been our
duties that typical club study has been
neglected. We are now organizing
-eetions for studv and will cover a
wide range of subjects during the com
ing winter.
Resoectfullv submitted,
Mary T. Skelton,
President.

FOR CHRISTMAS
IS U A APPEAL
Governor Calkins Urges Gov
ernment Securities for Pres
ents Instead of Luxuries
Governor John V. Calkins of th
Sail Francisco Federal Reserve Rank
has wrltteu a letter to all banks aud
trust companies In the Twelfth Fed
eral Reerv District urging them to
promote, wherever possible, the sale
jf War Savings Stamps and Treasury
avinijs Certificates for Christmas
presents this year.
Th increased demand for these
liovarniiifuf securities, the Treasury
3. nines Certificates being similar to
War Savings Stamps in drnoai. nations
of $100 and $1000. ts apparent from
the fact that the Federal Reserve
Hank supplied $0.20'. worth of
Treasury Savings Certificates to eigh
teen bauks In the district on Noveni
tier 20, which is tht? largest amount
-old in one day since the clos of the
war. On the face of thw dernaDd of
l.ese eighteen banks and the in
reased call for th securities from
ill postoffices throughout the Tweifili
;''deral Reserve District. It would
eiu that the Cove rnnieiit's holiday
ilofc&n, "Give a War Savings Stamp
or a Treasury Savini;s Certificate for
Christ mas," Is helm followed out.
Hid the Ciovernmiit is hoping thai by
;iv!iia War Saving Stumps and
Treasury Savings Cei tiflcates for
Christmas parts the district will close
ly approximate Its War Savings quota
i'or the year.
A portion of (lovernor Calkins' let-
er follows;
"The Christmas holidays are ut
most upon us. Kverythlng points to
;i tremendous outlay of money in the
purchase of holiday gifin, the greater
portion of which 1 think 1 am safe in
aylng will be luxuries. The present
situation demands not that mine
money be spent in the purchase of
luxuries, but that we curtail as much
as possible, with the consequent bene
filial tout rait ion of credit.
"Therefore, I appeal to you as a
fellow banker to do everythiug within
our power to stimulate the purchase
mil giving of War Savings Stamps
nil Treasmy Savings Certificates as
.'hristmas presents in place of the us
lal needless and expensive gifts. It
seems to nie that the responsibility of
ieading men's minds along the ways
of thrift and simple living rests to a
ureat extent upon t he bankers of the
country anil in asking you to push
the sales of Treasury i,ecuritl?s during
the, Christmas holidays, 1 am asking
you only to lake aihantuge of an op
portunity to meet this responsibility."
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi
cates for Christmas presents will be
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all
banks have beeu asked to Include a
similar appeal In their advertising.

and lie will tell you that American railroa'li art'
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads in England and
Frame, the hot iti Europe ---and in other Con
tinental countries and lie knows.
The part railroads liave played in the develop
ment of the United States is heyoud measure.
American railroads have achieved hi;;h stand
ards of pulilie service by far-sighted and courte
ous investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well dotie.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
Hut they must grow.
To the $-20,0lKU)O0,00) now invested in our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nation's business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars atid engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings and for recon
struction and engineering economies that will re
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
agers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world

if they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.
