NATIONAL RED CROSS FUNDS Andre Tardien, the French high commissioner to this country, in an interview given to the press in New York, said our war work is "wonderful and splendid," and asserted it had been "a surprise to the enemy. I have co operated for nearly ten months, hour by hour, with every part 01 your war organization," he said. -What you have done is magnificent, worthy of your allies, worthy of yourselves." This information should be gently and tenderly broken to Chamberlain, Hitchcock and Wads worth, the immortal trio supposed to have a monopoly on all the real military information on this mundone sphere.

Ill II THE " The Red Cross War Council has made public a list of all appropriations made since its appointment up to, January 9, 1918. These appropriations show a total oil large per centage ot new drivers. In the opinion of one We believe the council will make a mistake in fixing the speed limit in Salem at 25 miles outside the fire limits. It is too fast because in many cases the driver will press rltl'oug1''1 8lso took reat J""""-1 w the limit and possibly make it as high as 28 miles, without Tot ITJ TolZ ucing cauyiii, uy Liie sijeeu uxxicers. ims speea unaouDi edly will result in accidents at street intersections when the automobiling season really begins, because of tne increasing number or machines and the consequent $44,657,795.99 for foreign relief, a total of $2,612,532.60 for United States relief, and a total of $2423,181.12 lor expenditures for supplies, either for foreign shipment or for distribution or resale to Chapters in this country. This latter item includes $7,06:1,649. 2, which is also in cluded in the $30,619,259.60 for work in France, as well as $11,288,417 for material for resale to Chapters. It may thus be considered as a working fund and as a liquid asset rather than an expenditure.

This in cludes $.'565,000 for Divisional administration expenses And $250,000 donated for telegraph and cable service by the Western Union Telegraph companythe latter item extending over a considerably longer period oi time. These appropriations did not come out of the War Fund, but are more than covered from the portion of member ship dues received at National Headquarters. These membership dues, which more than paid for all adminis tration expenses, were such due received before the recent membership drive was made. . , In other words, no expenses ot administration in me United States were paid for out of the Red Cross War Fund. All administration is more than met by member ship dues. Thus every dollar contributed for, relief goes to relief. , ' THE METTLE THAT WINS ipp The manager of one of the leading insurance com panies of the world says that the greatest problem he has to solve is the selection of good agents. Thousands of people think they can solicit insurance, if they can do nothing else. But this manager tells us that, notwithstanding all the precaution he exercises m the choice of agents, only now and then one succeeds really well. One of the crucial tests by which he tries applicants is putting thoir courage and pluck to the proof. He-tries in every possible way to discourage them from entering the business. He raises all sorts of objections; tells them that the insurance business is one of the hardest in which to succeed, that it requires more energy and patience than almost any other, and that comparatively few succeed in it. A large proportion of the applicants break down under this test. But when the manager finds one who remains firm under every form of discouragement, he makes up his mind that he may possibly make a successful agent. Iran applicanthas grit, nerve, stick-to-it-iveness, he will generally wuiTTfire4arekathsequalities, no matter how well educated or how well bredhe viHbe-a failure. A couraee which never fails, an energy which never; tires, a tenacity .which never yields, these are the pass ports to victory in this and every other field. The outlook for labor to plant, care for orchards and yards and to harvest the crops in the Salem district is not good. That there is now, in mid-winter, an actual of labor in Salem, however, has one encouraging fea ture. . This is the fact that the labor demand comes from new industries lately established in the city. For in stance, the Salem Kings Products Co. is short seventy five or eighty hands at the present time and the Pheasant Northwest Products Co. is running short-handed con stantly. It is a good omen that there is more employment in the city than ever before, but it presents a difficult problem to meet since the demands of war and the call for high-priced labor in shipyards and kindred industries have exhausted the normal supply of those seeking employment i t ng.itnymes f by Walt Mason MMtM) THE SUCKER The sucker buys no Liberty Bond the Kind our Uncle's selling, to win the scrap across the pond and send the Teuton veil ing. The sucker is not safe and sane, and sound investments peeve him, and four per j i i ... cent gives mm a pain such propositions grieve him.- The sucker's out to get rich quick, to cut across the corner, to get his pium, and do the trick like little Johnnie Horner. The sucker buys the faker's mine, that's packed with gold or rubies, and soon we see him shedding brine among the easy boobies. The sucker's alwavs, on the make he is no doubting Thomas; he'll buy up any mzzy iake mat noids out lying promise. The sucker backs the wrestling match, and bets on crooked sprinter, and in the cheerless dippy hatch he spends his life's cold winter. The sucker always thinks he's slick, and up to snuff, and cunning; yet it is for this easy hick the fakers all go gunning. They track him east, they track him west, along his trail they trundle, and never give him any rest until they have his bundle. It never on his mind hash dawned that he is Nutty Neddy; he'll never buy a Liberty Bond, while there's a gold brick ready. ft - V- u ., i v A 1 ' t . (- NORTHWEST NEWS Hoatless Nights Ordered.

I had stopped in the ofiice for my paper, and opening it idly 1 i saw Bob's name. He had been mention ed for bravery under fire, and in an article written now, weeks afterward. it had boen referred. The sound oi a voice, his voice, made me raise my eyes. "Good morning, Margaret." "(iood morning, Bob." But wo met frankly, like friends. Sleep had been a stranger to him as well as to me. But neither of us men tioned it, or I am sure, thought of it. "Shall we take a little walk?" Bob asked after a moment. "The bovs are only a little way off."" We fell into step and strolled down to the beach. Wre talked, but not per- j soualities. We laughed without there bo ing anything really to laugh at. x was happy becaube he had been alone, because Charlotte Keating had not been his companion in the almost two years of our separation.

I exclaimed, laughing. Isn't he! X guess it was the uniform that did it. He seemed very much im pressed with it." I don t wonder. It is very becom ing." l had not meant to say anything like that, the words just came of their own volition. I am glad you think so," he res ponded, making a mocking bow. "A man with only one arm needs some thing," but there was no bitterness in the remark. Just before we reached the children he stepped. Then he asked: 'Shall wo sit here a while," 'l'es, if 3-0U like," and we sat down. I raised my sunshade, and we sat for some time without speaking. We could see the children and Delia. Donald was throwing sticks into the water; whilo Delia and George seemed to be making a sand house. They had not seen us, and dropped my Bhade at an angle that hid us from their keen eyes. Others were on the sand, but at some distance. Practically we were all alone. "This IS restful," Bob said after a bit. The doctor said it would be. but I had to be urged to come." "You don't look very well." I said iu a low tone. Now in the strong morn ing light I could see the ravages his illness had made. He had great dark shadows under his eyes, and as he threw his cap on the sand I noticed that what Elsie had spoken of as a few gray hairs on his temples had grown into a white streak, so white against the dark brown hair that I felt an almost irresistible 'impulse tii Tlay my fingers on it. He was thinner too, much thinner. But the old, sweet smile, the old inde pendent tilt of the head, the old ways. Even suffering and the awfulness of war had not changed him in those things so much a part of his personality. He had stretched his long length at my feet, and I could watch him without his being aware of it, for save when he turned "to speak to me his face was toward the sea. "And so you went to warf" I said dreamily, after a while. "It makes the war seem very close, and it has seemed so far away." "It is CLOSE, far closer than most of the people think. And it is daily, hourly, coming closer. We have only touched the fringe, we Americans." While listening 1 had unconsciously raised my parasol. Donald had seen us and now came racing across the sand, calling to us. So we waited, Bob and 1 waited for our boy our first-born.
