RED CROSS NOTES.
Three more boxes o f ihe surgical
supplies are being packed ready for
shipping. These include the different
sized "m ai.tresses" o f absorbent cotton
and gauze. Greater care than was
required w s b taken to make these, but
the ladies were more than repaid for
their pains by the many compliments
they have received from the hospitals
for their work. They are now prepar
ing the split irrigation pads, which
have originated during the war and are
used tor wounds which require exten
sive spraying o f medicines.
The Ford roadster, donated to the
Red Cross by the Republican candi
date for the nomination for governor,
Mr. Simpson, was won in the raffie by
Miss Clarice Canfield
Five hundred
chances were sold, which netted the
sum o f $500 for the treasury. Mr.
Simpson visited the Red Cross rooms
and gave them an interesting talk on
the work.
The manual training boys are build
ing the boxes for shipping the supplies
in. They took up several completed
ones Monday and have agreed to furn
ish 22 more so that the Red Cross need
not want for boxes until late in the
summer.
In a statement made by Mrs. E. M.
Greig the donations received during
March, including the auction, amount
ed to a total o f $1605, while the amount
o f the bills paid was $1244.65.

“ PROTECT OUR
SOLDIERS WITH
LIBERTY BONDS”
(BY OUR REGULAB CORRESPONDENT)
Message of United States
Senator McNary to Peo
ple o f Oregon
Money la needed to support and
protect our soldiery now fighting In
a foreign land and the prompt pur-
chaae by tha American people of
Liberty Bonds will aupply the
funds. Much of the money here
tofore obtained by the government
through the sale of Liberty Bonds
to Its citizens has been expended
In the preparation of war.
Now
our resources and our savings must
bs devoted to a considerable ex
tant In providing for the safety,
comfort and assistance of our
heroes on European battlefields.
Three thousand miles of ocean In
tervene and this long lane must be
made safe for our soldiers. Ships
we must have In aver Increasing
numbers. Without tonnage the full
measure of our elaborate and m ili
tary relief organizations must re
main inoperative. Without money
we cannot build ths ships; without
tha ships we cannot win the war.
W ith sadness we anticipate the re
turn of thousands of our soldiers
wounded and crippled who must be
rehabilitated or m a d e capable
through vocational education for
self support. General hospitals In
which physical reconstruction work
and vocational training can be un
dertaken m u s t be constructed.
This requires money.
A great
army is going forward to face the
fire of battle and American dollars
will be forthcoming for their wel
fare if we all perform our duty and
buy liberally of these Liberty
Bonds.
