The Woman's Belief Corps as an or ganization is based on a semi military regime. W pledge allegiance to the flaw of our rountry to abide by the rule of our order ami loyally support all of ficers in authority- and we furthermore pi ge to 'faithfully perform all duties required' 'i'hus when my superior officer com niatidvd me to appear on this program H Mstoriau of the Woun's Belief Corps, it was ''mine not to make reply, mine not to reason why, mine but to recite a le.-.un in history. Behind effeet lies cause! further bock than the origin of our order history record 'he causes that called It into being, In tlie fear years' war for the preser vation of the Union woman's pari was largely that of relief. Soldiers aid societies were organized from New England to the farthest V est ! Tho the workers in these societies, bopitals ami sanitary supplies were gathered money collected, muses equip pel and maintained. In the long years of the awful st nig gle, tho the direct agency of the level patriotic women of the north., millions of dollars were raised and expended, thousands of lics saved! Hut with the dislmndoiiment of oui armies; these societies leased to be! The grout strangle m over. l-'ei year' war had been the chief thought the absorbing interest of our peiple! .... Recruiting and maintaining armies the business of the nation. New all was changed; and from the CliaO and havoc- of wrecked conditions a new start must be made. Our siddieis were gladly and cnthus iasthnlU welcomed home, but beneath tin- pomp ami glory were pitiable con ditions that individually must be faced It Is nut hard to be brave in numbers, but now those who had fought togoihei must aloae fight the battle for exist Mnnv were shuttered in 'health, ninny wounded and i iipp'ed, many were undis ciplined boys when they enlisted for thoir country's defense. They hud been drilled in carfare twit were nil unfitted for the battle work of life. Thousands and thousands o'f unskilled wage earners out of employment were thus thrown on the body politic. And with all this army of unemployed oar need for workers had largely ceased. Tho immense demand for supplies was over, our war kits were flat! This is but It glimpse of conditions following the great war and during the panicky crisis of the early seventies. This in brief is an outline of the causes thul lulled the Woman's Relief Corps into being. The Brand Army of the Republic hud organized at the close of the war to pro mote the gr-al principles of fraternity, i harity and loyalty . This organization iiad done much to aid unf nit until c comrades, soldiers. wldOWS and orphans, but the needs were great, the demands beyond the strength of the order and again, woniiin. (bid's helpmate to man, came to the. aid of the over-burdened comrades. As early as '(ill in Portland, Maine, a local post had organized n society un der Ihe name of "Bosworth Relief Corps. No. 1. A lil I le lutei n e find that a similar society, called Ihe Post Ladies' Aid society, was formed in Ohio. Then .Massachusetts swung into line with two or three similar societies and from these three states the movement spread, gaining rapidly in popularity and in numbers. The (Irani! Army fostered these socio ties ami gladly uccepted their aid. in the i iiii national encampment of the (I. A. R,, held at f ntliumiolis, tad., July, ISSI, a resolution was introduced by Chaplain in Chief l.overing calling attention to the importance of an of filial organized woman's auxiliary. A cuminittee was nppoiuteil to con sider the question and report at the I. annual cnciiuipmcnt. When the committee reported, these resolutions were presented and iiuniii lnousliy adopted : " Resolved, That we approve the pro ject of organizing a National Woman's Relief Corps. "Resolved, That such Woman's Re lief Corps may use under such title the words 'Auxiliary lo the (Iruud Army of the Republic.' ' ' This was la liSXl but it was not till 1Sn:s when I'aul Vender VOert was eom mander lu chief that the Grand Army look measures to nut this resolution j into effect, Meantime auxiliaries had been spread ing rapidly and when in the spring of I isv! Commander in chief VnnaerVoorl j issued his call for the Denver encamp nttt; he Invited the VvoiMB'l Auxiliur 1 ies to meet at Denver July 25th, and jJMth and form a national association. I About M women responded to this eait exclusive ot lac Denver auxiliary In orgaiu v.! assembly a vote was tak en on the requirement for membership in i ae woman s Keliet Corps uud by a majority vote till loyal women of good Store! oharaotet were declared eligible to membership. At this meeting in Denver, July. IgM, tho organization of the National Do man's Relief Corps nai perfected. When the encampment of the tlraiid Army was notified of this organization, il uiiaiiimofusly passed the following .resolution: I "Resolved, That we eordiallv hail the 1 orgaaisatiou of a National Women 's Re- , p ( urps and extend our greetings to inein. ' W e return Cittr warmest thanks to 'the loyal women of our land; for their ! earnest support aud encouragement uud , ,mu lueiii wo.jspeea m lueir nnnonc work." Thus finally was the Woman's Relief Corps Auxiliary lo the Grand Army of the Republic firmly established on u un-tion-wide foundation. Its objects are: "Section 1. To specially aid and as sist the Grand Army of I he Republic mid lo perpetuate the memory of their heroic dead. use, il being only reasonable to leduee "Section 2. To assist such Union vet erans as need our help and protection aud to extend needful aid to thai) widows and orphans. To find them homes and assure them of sympathy and friends. To cherish and emulate the deeds of our army nurses and of all loy al women who rendered loving service to our country in her hour of peril, "Section li. To maintain true alleg iance to Uie United Stales of America. To include lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children and in the communities in which we live and lo encourage the spread of universal liberty and equal rights to all. "The motto of our order is Fratern ity, Charity and I.oyulty " In 1913, 30 veins after our organia- Hon. 1 fin, Judge Harvey M. Trimble commander in chief of the Grand Arinv. pays this tribute to the Woman's Relief Corps; "Yours is the greatest organiza tion of women in all the world. "No other organization is at all com parable with the Woman's Relief! Corps in the extent and character of its work and the ennobling and patriotic influ ence it has extended in our country." Wita the development of our country this work is growing in importance and our order is increasing in membership. Cleaning from the journal of Ore gon's own national president, Mrs. Corn M. Davis, i I earn that at the 30th na tional convention 2,S:(2 corps were re ported. The financial record of this year, 1012, was a total of frlTT.ftftMM) given to those three purposes relief. Memorial dfty work and contributed to the posts. Kor relief alone 183,6!tS was expend1 d by the Corps. Further from the same high authority 1 find thll in the SO years of Relief Corps wurk there has been expended in aid to the posts, relief and Memorial day observance the sum of 4,091,288.73. Such in b.ief is the history of the WOl'h of the Woman's Relief Corps Aux iliary to the Brand Army of the Re public, as measured by dollars and cents; but however,' we measure the s mptithr. the patriotism, the loyalty, the ennobling influence of women band ed together rnf I ich a righteous cause.

AVhen it comes to si.nte nffoir rwr. land has often been called the head and body and the. rest of tho state the tail of the animal. Just now the wrangle ainonsr Portland BsSMaHffi over vvho (hall print the delinquent tax nst is linciy to attect an entire state. To stop the Portland squabble an ef fort is being made to have a bill passed providing that the lists not. be mado public in newspapers but that notices be sent to the delinquents by postal. in the tea-pot tempest in Portland it is brought out that the printing of lists in newspapers is a ''graft" ot newspapers whereas the truth is far from this. The idea has been that tho printing of the lists in the newspapers caused many who did not want the publicity to pay ahead of publication time, that it helped find people by spreading the news to their friends uhe would tell them ami would clean up the matter in a public legal way. The expense for the publication of these lists is borne by the delinquent tax payers and not by the public at largo as some officials r us to show. The pos sibility of postal cards getting lost and the delinquents thus not notified can readily be seen. The plans for publication are clearly defined by the law now existing so that the matter is taken out of politics as newspapers want it to be. The pres ent system of collecting has proven ef fective and should not be. replaced by one that will be less effective and no cheaper just because of a Portland arguuieut.

STRAUS Prtsidnt American Scatty fir Thrift You need not be in the milli o n a t r e class to be a spendth rift. You can be a spendt hrif t with a dollar or a lesser sum. "I don't see how," someone says. "I make such a small salary that I can't eotsiely sai e : at least I cotdd only save iu'.h a small sum that it would not be worth saving." Starting with one cent and adding a eel each week mskes over $12 a rar. "Plodding steadily on. step by step, little by little, bit by bit" says Charles Buxton, "that is the way to wealth, thai is the way to wisdom, that is the way to glory. Pounds are the sons, not of pounds, bu: of i-ence." The street railways are large corj i 'orations built uj out of rive cent ; ires. One . : the largest buildings in the world was built from the prof its of a five and ten cent store. Sun flower seeds are small and insignifi cant, ljut making oil from them is a highly prosperous business in Ger many. The tick is a tiny insect but because it imbeds itself in cattle it costs the South $50,000.0(30 a year. A W estern railroad has resorted to a novel way to reduce its envelope bill during the past few months. Train reports and other written busi ness matters are scut out in envelopes winch have been ruled into 12 squares for names and addresses. Every time an envelope reaches its destination i tl'.e name and address is crossed off ' and another written in the next , space. In this way one envelope is i made to do the work of 12. It is only discarded when all the spaces I have been used. Nearly $2,000 has1 been saved t'rom the i.sual expendi-' ture for envelopes.

A railroad corporation in the East . is helping some of its employes to use their time to good advantage by allowing them to go to school, and learn something that will enable them to make more money. This railroad I conducts correspondence courses of ' instruction in which nearly 10,000 of its employes are enrolled as students. , Upwards of 2.300 of these pupils are Italians who are studying the i English language by mail and are luting themselves to be citizens and ! better workmen.
