THE SIGN OF THE RED CROSS

UNTIL AFTER WAR ENDS
The liberty bond sale is over, and now thet raising of
$100,000,000 for supporting the Keel Uross is tne next
duty of American citizens. In every town and hamlet the
work is under way and it is safe to say that when the
whirlwind campaign ends Saturday night, the sum will
be subscribed. It. is really a truer test of patriotism than
the purchasing of liberty bonds, for it is a giving instead
of a lending proposition. We are sending our boys across
the ocean to fight our battles and those of Freedom.
They are offering on the altar of duty their services, leav
ing their homes, kindred and friends, and if need be will
lay down their lives for the cause which we as a country
have indorsed. It is to provide for their care if sick or
wmimlpd. and for their families at home if in need, that
we are asked to give a small sum each. Each and all of
us will have some friend among those who are sent across
ihp ocean, and none of us would hesitate about putting up
a few dollars to aid these. It may be the especial friend
will not need this aid, but surely th-j satisfaction ot know
ing you have provided it for him in case he should, will
out-weigh any money consideration, W cannot weigh
the comfort and care of "our" boys in the scales against
dollars, for when it comes to that kird of a show down the
dollars do not weigh much. When the committee calls on
you just think of the fact that what you give may save
the life of one of the boys who is doing the fighting for
all of us, and then instead of digging up one dollar pry.
up two or as many more as your finances and your desire
to see Oregon's boys cared for under all circumstances,

It is indicated the' senate will -filibuster against the
passage of the food control bill. If it does it will drive
another nail in its own coffin. The masses are gettting
extremely tired of this mutual admiration society and of
its arrogance, and it will not take much to start a move
for doing away with the whole bunch. Every senator has
the right to express his sentiments on every measure, and
should have the fullest liberty to do so; but when one of
these long eared 22s goes to reading the Encyclopedia
Britanica to any array of empty benches, just to kill time
and prevent legislation, it is time for the fool killer to get
busy and either do away with him or the voters who
selected, and foisted him on a long uffering country.
Speaking of wood prices being higher, because but lit
tle was cut during the winter, causes one to wonder how;
much higher prices will help the situation. There is as(
much wood in the country as ever, and that is surely j
plenty, enough for any use, but it :s not "cut and dnea
as so many things are around the state capital. Will
raising the price cause it to give rut more heat or to go
any further? Will it increase the supply? Will it do
anything in fact except make the consumer dig that much
deeper into his jeans?
Time brings many changes. One hundred and forty
two years ago yesterday the British tried to carry their
flag up Bunker Hill and failed. Yesterday it was carried
up that historic pimple at the head of a bagpipe band of
the New Brunswick Kilties Battalion of a Canadian
regiment and the Americans gave it hearty welcome.
Carranza is sending a representative to Washington
to explain to the president his stand on the war and
other issues. This is unnecessary as it is known he takes
no stand on anything. If his envoy is to explain which
way Carranza is expecting to dodge he will have done
all possible in the case.
The berries are running a close race with each other
to see which can get ripe first. It looks as though it was
going to be a tie between most of them.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times defending ; Portland's j
course toward the rest of the state generally, and dis-i
cussing her latest move by which she forced or persuaded;
the location of the flax product mill that was in the way I
of locating here to be changed to I ortland, offers as one j Resolution Introduced In
at Salem but was unable to get any machinery to do so.
There is no mystery about that for it is almost impossible
to get machinery of any kind now." No, there is no
especial mystery about it, as our esteemed contemporary
says, but there is some mystery about the statement made
by it that if it could not get machinery to locate its plant
in Salem, as to- how it would be any better off by locating
in Portland. The Gazette-Times, however, hits the nail
squarely on the head in closing its editorial which the
Oregonian indorses by reprinting, when it says in clos
ing: "She flies with her own wings. Portland is one
wing, the valley is the other and both pinions will have to
flap together if the bird gets anywhere."
That is exactly the position taken by the Capital
Journal, and the reason of its critimism of Portland's
actions in trying to force every manufacturing industry
within her own limits. She is continually trying to
develop one wing at the expense of the other not seeming
to realize they must be of equal strength, "if the bird is
to eet anywhere.'' She is eternally clipping the other
wing, and that is the reason Seattle is outflying her and
Washington leaving the state far behind.
Marconi says 30,000 airships will put Germany out of
the fighting because she cannot make an equal ileet; and
once she is driven from the air, she fights in the dark.
He is a firm believer that the control of the air means
the deciding of the war. If this is the case, the allies can
depend on America furnishing, the fleet While there are
few aeroplane factories in the United States it is stated
by those building airships that the typewriter and furni
ture factories can turn out the wings, and the auto fac
tories other parts, so that the builJing can be rushed at a
rate never dreamed possible at the start. With the varied
machinery used in the many factories of the United
States almost anything needed can be made and this
with but little alteration of plant or machinery.
Russia apparently has awakened to the danger she is
facing by even listening to the kaiser's agents, and will
again take her position firmly with the allies. If this
proves true it will make a material difference in Ger
many's plans, for whether she really gets into the fight
or not makes little difference, so Jong as she maintains
an army on the border that is a menace to -Austria and
the German cause, that will compel the keeping of a big
German army on the eastern front to guard it against a
possible Russian raid.
The days are now at their longest and will show but
little change for a week, after that they will begin to
shorten and while the iceman has . iot yet had his innings,
the woodpile will demand attention. This promises to be
a serious demand too, for the usual quantity was not cut
and consequently the price will be higher.
Now the kaiser thinks the American army is "nothing
worth considering." That is in a sense true, but it is not
ripe yet. When it is, the kaiser will find there is a good
crop of it and that it will weigh a full sixty pounds to the
bushel.

Mr. Jones explained that the purpose
was to set at rest the fears of some
people that if the voters should adopt

given a special permit by the chief of
police at the request ot their parents
or guuruiun.
Alderman Unroll requested, in the
form of a resolution, that the city re
corder appoint a new set of city elec
tion officials for the fifth ward. No
reason was given for the desired chanac
and as Air. (Jnruh was not present the
resolution was laid on the table, while
a motion was adopted providing that
in the event of vacancies in the elec
tion boards that the city recorder be
notified so he may make the necessary
appointments.
The street oiling machine will be
rented to the contracting firm of Hod-
son & Jloskms, now paving at .Mon

for a cluster light post which is to be
erected by the tenants of the' new Wil
lis building on Court street.
uusiness men having light or tele
hone or telegraph poles in front of
their places of business must keep the
poles painted, and the city recorder
was directed to request the street eom-J
missioner to see that this is done. .
The Pheasant Fruit. Juice company
was giA'en a permit to erect a sign in
front Of its place of business on High
street.
An ordinance to establish grade on
Thompson avenue from Center street to
Frederick street was read first and see
ond time and referred to a committee.
The council rejected the recommen
dation of the street committee to allow
the construction of a stairway from the

Apprehensions.
The end of the month was near
and the bills for the dinner would
be on the present month's account.
How foolish that I hadn't thought of
that. I might just aa well have had
the dinner a week Inter; then they
would have gone on the next month's.
But it was too late now for regrets- I
must do the best I could.
I had sent ten dollars on account
of my bill at the modiste's; all I
could spare. Peggy had paid eighty
five dollars for her dress, and if I
had had the credit of bringing her, I
would have felt less anxious. I must
somehow get the fifty paid. Tom.
would pay the other fifty.
But the butcher, the" grocer, ani
the fruit and-vegetable men were all
worying me about their bills. I gave
them each a little as I could as a sop;
but I was afraid I eouldn 't keep that
up much longer, for in spite of what I
gave them the bills steadily grew larg
er. I hadn't paid the gas bill for two
months; and the last time the man
came to collect, he had threatened to
turn it off. Beally I was in a terrible
fix; and daren't ask Tom to help me.
I never dreaded anything in my life
as I did the coming of the firat of the
month. It was December, .ni Peggy
was going to remain over the holiday.
I shouldn't have a penny for Christma
shopping: and that worried me too. It
is so easy to get into debt; and so hard
to get out- Sometimes I think that th
fear of debt should be taught in our
public schools. So many boy9 and girls
never know anything "about handling
nionev.
