Lincoln, organizer for the Ki- wanis international of Charleston, W.1 Va., appeared before the local Ki- wanis club Wednesday and gave an instructive lecture. Vet Lawrence of Portland was also a speaker before the club. I Subjecting the anti-western oil superstition to the test of actual comparison in service, this Com­ pany verified independently our claims that Zerolene will lubricate the modern automobile engine as well or better than any oil on the market, irrespective of price, and whether of eastern or western origin. A part of their letter follows: “During the past three or four years we have exper­ imented with various brands of eastern and western lubricating oils, including Zerolene oil. The results of these teats have proved to our satisfaction that Zerolene lubricates our equipment with the greatest efficiency. *Our recent decision to lubricate our trucks exclu­ sively with Zerolene oils has resulted in the reduc­ tion to a minimum of mechanical difficulties which were due to faulty lubrication.* Less Carbon— Better (rosoline Mileage .

Glenn Terry of the Tillamook fire deartment was ’ di .patched to the scene as soon as the news was re­ ceived here and Lloyd Edwards of the Coast Power company hurried to the fire-swept town to give assistance in keeping up power connections and telephone lines. A special train from Portland bearing John L. May, train master for the S. P. company and Chief Engineer Benjamin arrived from Portland at 5:50 in the after­ noon with a crew to give assistance. People of the sawmill town are re­ ported to be in good spirits, consider­ ing the catastrophe they have suffer­ ed, and it is expected that normal con­ ditions will be resumed within a short time. WIDE CLUB HEARS SPEAKERS big motor freight line settles THE OIL QUESTION- — Andrew Mellon has said that if the adjusted compensation were paid, that taxes in the nation could not be reduced. By his statement the pub­ lic has been misled. According to a pamphlet prepared and circulated by John R Quinn, National Commander of the AmericAn Legion, Mr. Mellon’s own figures show that when Adjust­ ed Compensation has been paid, that it will still be possible to reduce gov- •rnment expenses $242,000,000 per year. During the war, the soldier was paid $80 per month. In a majority of eases from this amount $15 was deducted for allotment to depend- . ants, and $6.50 for insurance, leaving the princely sum of $8.5(1 of actual pay. Out of this poor balance, 80 .per cent of the soldiers bought Lib­ erty bonds on the installment plan. When the soldier came home he found that Congress was paying man­ ufacturers $8,000.000,000 they "might | have made” on war contracts had the I ■war not terminated. While the boys were over seas fighting, the Spruce, “home guards.” safe, except as to accidents in the woods, were receiv-1 Ing from $5 to $10, and from $7 to! $25 per day, while the boys who were actually doing the fighting, got a final •ca»h payment of $8.50 per month.; ■Congress at the time of the signing >f the armistice was payinc a bonus of $240 a year to each of the 150.000 •civil employees of the government on account of ing during getting it.

Out of this amount the soldier was • xpected to buy for himself a civilian suit of cothes; pay off debts contracted by his family during his war service; and pay his rent and food bills, while he hunted a job. which had gone to some civilian dur­ ing his absence, and which was not in many eases given hack to him after the war. In the meantime, hundreds of mil­ lionaires were made in the United States during the war from war pro­ fit*.
