W. C. T. U. NOTES
The W. C. T. U. county executive
meeting was held at the home of the
county president, Mrs. J. E. Ferguson,
Tuesday of last week. The county

discussed. County superintendents of
the dlfferenent departments were ap-
pointed as follows:

After the businesa meeting the
hostess served dainty refreshments.
During the past 25 years vast
changes have come to the world that
eventually must help bring interna
tional peace and sobriety. The first
message sent by cable under the sen
from England to America was thia :
"Europe and America are united by
telegraph. Glory to. God in the high
est ; on earth peace, good-will toward
men." Since, that day one electric
marvel after another has been per
fected—the telephone, the trolley, elec
tric lighting, wireless telegraphy, and
now af last the radio. The develop
ment in the last 25 years of the pas
senger and air-mail service, and the
-broadcasting over land and sea by
radio make us hopeful that the next
time we gather in the land of Sir
Walter Scott our delegates will come
flying over land and sea, and all the
stay-at-homes will "listen in” to the
convention proceedings.
These space and time-annihilating
agencies are enormous factors for the
uplift or the demoralization of the
world. They should far more exten
sively be subsidized by our organiza
tion for all that ministers to the high
est welfare of the home, the com
munity, the state, the nation and the
world. Gan the guidance of the auto
mobile or the airship safely be en
trusted to an alcohized brain? If not.
our World's W. C. T. U. program of
total abstinence education and the
non-legalization of the sale of bever
age alchohol should everywhere con
stantly be stressed. The radio Is
broadening our outlook; it is bringing
nations nearer together. Radio mes
sages are given to thousands of hear
ers today where the public meeting
reaches only score. Then, let us use
this wonderful method of communica
tion constructively; let us send out
Into the illimitable spaces of the air
our W. C. T. U. gospel for the welfare
of the child, the protection of the
home, the economic progress of in
dustry and the healing of the nations
Vancouver, Wash., la making prep-
aratlona for the reception of ¿hou-
sands of visitors during the week be
ginning August 17 When II«- oldest
city in the state of Washington will

It was in 1828 that Dr. John Mc-
I-auglilln came to that place and, as

company, established the trudiug post
there which he called Fort Vancouver
and from which he rulcsl the Oregon
empire from California ou the south

ocean to the Rocky mountains.
Under a special act of congress the
minting of half dollar pieces com

but a limited minting of this coin,
and already have thousands of orders
for these at one dollar each. The
celebration, underwritten by Vancou
ver caidtal, is hoping to meet a large
l>art of its expenses through the sale
of these coins.
The celebration will consist of an
industrial and automobile- exisisition.
a large outdoor amusement park, a
Iiageant with 310 persons and a
chorus of 150 each night for the
week is-ginning August 17, and a
wonderful historical exhibit which
has been prepared under the aus
pices of Glenn M. Ranck. of that city,
with the cooperation of the- Oregon
Historical society and the Washing
ton Historical society.
Opening exercises, set for August
17. will attract notable is-rsous from
the two staic-s and a big reception for
that date has been planned. The
governors of Washington and Oregon
and the congressional delegations
from the two states, with mayors of
many of the cities, have ls-en'invited
