Biggest Little City in Oregon VERNONIA EAGLE ■? every thoughtful visitor. On a visit made recently by the writer there was found somewhat more than the usual activity that always marks this home, for depen dent and unprivileged children. Dur ing the summer vacation every child, fro mthe big boys and girls d iwn to the tiniest “kiddie” have been busy with the many tasks ntedful in a farm homo, sheltering nearly one hundred children. The dozen or more of cows, hundreds of chickens, flock o ffino milk goats, half dozen gentle horses and the pens of rabbits are given loven care. The gardens supplying much of the food are qept guiltless of weeds, while thistles and other pests are pursued by relentless busy hands. The sweet smelling hay is housed in big barns and nearly two hundred cords of wood hauled and sawed by the big boys, will furnish food for the “Bossies” and warmth for the homes in the winter months. The larger girls in bloomers were driving a team of fine horses, the gift o fthe Portland fire department with barrels of w^ter for the shade and fruit trees that dot the building plot, and both boys and girls were tending th lawns and the borders of flowers that make gay and sweet the yards near the roomy cottages. During these summer weeks the sound of the hammer and saw has been heard the long day through as two cottages which will house forty more children are hurrying to com pletion. With a pridt few can un derstand the children already "homed” there are helping to smooth the grounds and to clean children who will be lovingly wel comed by our whole big family. The the fine big school house planned for two hundred children which we expect to house within the next few months is promised for use at the opening of school for the fall term. After the crowded condition of our temporary building we shall be very happy to have sufficient room for our school. If it were not for our faith that help would come based upon the past generosity of the Oregon people who would be more than a little anxious about the equipment, as with out school open ing less than two weeks away we lack over twelve hunlrtd dollars for the class room equipment alone. It will com* because we must have it. We are urging that the readers of this paper send to Children’s Farm Home. 506 Stock Exchange Bldg., Portland, Oregon. Such contribu tions as possible, and at once, The gift cannot be so small that it will not be appreciated nor so large that it will not be welcome. MAKE UNCLE SAM A BARTEN DER.
