If you are not getting along as well as you think you should, possibly you can find the reason by looking through your cancelled checks. A definite plan of SAVING with a determination to SPEND WISELY will surely bring gratifying results. , -. .

VOGT The Tuesday Lunch Club this week observed American Education Week by a visit to- the high school, where luncheon was served the members of the organization by the students of the domestic science department Follow ing ttie luncheon an assembly program was rendered as follows: Singing of "Star Spangled Banner" bv the stu dents and guests; salute to the Flag ; song, by entire audience ; songs, girls' freshman glee club; piano solo, Harry Isensee; reading of President Hard ing's proclamation, City School Super intendent Cannon: songs, bovs' elee flub; reading of American's Creed and an appeal to patriotism by National Commander Owsley, of the American Legion, J. W. Crites. principal of the high school, who was chairman of the day for the Lunch Club; contralto solos, Miss Prudence Spiirht, and ad dress by Capt. Geo. R. Wilbur, com mander of the Oregon department. American Legion. Capt. Wilbur emphasized the need of education among Americans, in order that the government might properly function. He cited the big things of the program or the American Legion the main one of which was to bring about the spirit of Americana among the children of who bear merely the stampjof American.citizens. He quoted from Nicholas Murray Butler, former president of Columbia University who said, "Ihe difficulties of a democracy are trie opportunities or education.' "Americanism." said Capt. Wilbur, "is not real just because it is stamped on a man s uacK, as it were, it is i thing of the spirit, and men and worn en must be made to Ben no it by feeling it in mind and body. We have lots of the kinds of Americasn we do not want Intelligent Americans are eoine to be called upon to stamp out radicalism which does not believe in government of any kind perhaps. You know of a lot of ignorant men over this nation. You may know of those even in this town, who are no more fitted to go to the polls and vote than your dog. We must bear with them, but we must endeavor to edu cate them and bring their trend of mind in accord with our own." Capt. Wilbur declared that element ary education was an absolute need. He cited the announcement of the pro gram as scheduled for Tuesday of Edu cation Week, a day to be devoted to patriotism. The program called for an emphasis of the need of devotion to one Flag expressed in one language Capt. Wilbur declared that any child who decided to give up his education before teaching the high school was discounting his opportunities of being real, useful American. Capt Wilbur declared that he hated war. tie expressed the hope that the boys and girls of the high school would not have to face any such contingency as the current generation in meeting the emergency of the great war. He declared a confidence, however, that in case of war the young men of tne school, backed by the young women, would be ready. His declaration brought a spontaneous applause from the students. I like to see the man or woman." he stated, "who expresses a hatted of war as he or she hates sickness. I do not like that kind of citizen who de clares such a hatred of war that he or she is ready to declare an unmodified opposition to all war. It is not a true spirit of Americanism that so decries war as not to be willing to make the sacrifices of a righteous war." the session was not without its fa cetious moments. During the luncheon one of the young women handed to Su perintendent Cannon a jar, asking him to open the jam and pass it. With his mouth watering for a taste of the deli cacy, he unscrewed the top. Suddenly a huge green snake leaped across the table. The young women had lined the inside of the jar with real straw berry jam. Oiled paper was placed over the lining of sweets, and the nake. built on springs like that in a ack-in-tbe-box, was squeezed into the jar. Ihe incident led lunch club mem bers to ask Mr. Cannon if the school taught the art of camouflage. Ulticers of the lunch club elected for the ensuing term were: I. K. Ache son, president; E. C Smith, vice-president, and W. M. Sylvester, secretarv treasurer. The club's only guett for the day was Willis Stewart former grain dealer of Saskatchewan, here with his family seeking a location. ihe lunch club members bv unani mous vote expressed their spnreciation of the luncheon served by the young women.
