Biggest Little City in Oregon

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.
