"OVER THE TOP IN FORTY-EIGHT HOURS" By JANE PHELPS HEB FAVORITE AUTHOES. MIDWIFE DIED AT SANATORIUM DAVID SPEAKS HIS SUND. CHAPTER LXXGL The moment we were alone, I realized j iriU, manly, .at Geraldiue Mish was a young woman of varied tastes, and her two favorite ; authors were widely different in their appeal. The novels of Buckram lubb times almost Willamette Chapter's enthusiastic workers have seen fit to adopt as a slogan, "Over the Top in Forty-Eight Hours," which, if realized, and there is no reason why it should not be, will materially reduce the time officially set aside and work still further and splendid economy for our busy people in this, their busiest season. Let it be said again, and as often as possible, that it is just exactly this spirit of vigorous, energetic, whole-souled action on the part of the enemies of German autocracy everywhere that will win this war and win it decisively; and on the other hand, it is the sleepy, slow-poke methods of indecision on indifference that will just as surely spell defeat. The first Red Cross war fund was raised because the people realized, with the President of the United States, that the American Red Cross could play a great part in the winning of the war. The spirit of the people was further based on their knowledge of the traditions of the Red Cross and their confidence in the men the President had appointed to head it. They did not know, nor did the leaders of the Red Cross know, what its full scope would be. We face different conditions in the second Red Cross campaign. The vast amount of money entrusted to the leaders of the Red Cross has been largely spent We have a record of performance and we now have a more definite picture, of our future responsibilities. The public realizes that the Red Cross performs a very mnnrtont urnvlr in Ti-Anprafinrr with nnv avmv cinrl nnw llflUi WUW WW At 144 VV,UVUlg MVi VIA Ml J U1IU UUIJ in the care of wounded and in the general comfort of the soldiers and sailors. They do not know as fully that the Red Cross is performing a great i;ew task of vast im portance in helping pay the debt we owe those nations who for three years have borne the brunt of this great struggle. The fact that our Red Cross, by the broadest kind of relief work, is strengthening and heartening our allies, is one which will be brought home to all our people in this campaign, and we know that their recognition of it, added to their knowledge of its other work, will bring forth the fullest measure of support. Let every one adopt, without an instant's hesitation, the slogan of the local committee, "Over the Top in 48 Hours"; let each make the immediate personal application of that slogan and see to it that no delay of his or hers shall cause the failure to realize it. imeasureably worse off than under the czar. There is no Utopia about the world as the Germans show it to these foolish dreamers and as they have awakened from their dream through the rough treatment, of the Germans they will not soon forgive them. Kerensky however can do no good by coming to America, and fortunately he can do no harm either. . Little Uruguay served notice on Germany a few days ago to the effect that Germany must define her position toward that country. A submarine had held up a steam er on which a mission from Uruguay was traveling to France, and detained the mission. The little country stated in plain terms that if Germany considered herself at war with Uruguay, that Uruguay would at once de clare war on her. The reply was that Germany was not lighting Uruguay. The kaiser probalbly finds it neces sary to keep one or two of the civilized countries of the world on speaking terms, so someone may buy flowers for tne iuneral when the house of Hohenzollern hits the low places and can't come back. ' There has been a remarkable increase in the acreage planted to wheat in Washington, the total being estimated at 2,281,000 acres. With a yield of 25 bushels to the acre this would place Washington second in the list of wheat growing states, Kansas producing around 100,000,000 bushels with the next in line about half as much. The 25 bushels an acre would give Washington a yield of 57, 025,000 bushels which is ten million bushels more than the estimated crop of any state except Kansas. i t- -j uit i it., i. coarse, lull or me action 01 reu uiouu ihat David HAD seen, and that he was " , .. 0,i ' and strong desires, while the poems auu augijr iur my Bane, x uiu&b uc canjiu if his visit was not to be spoiled, and all of us made uncomfortable.

It was a bright day ia Geraldine's life when she was invited to a litera ry tea at which the two authors were to be among th.0 guests. "Miss Mish," said the hostess, lead ing her to a tall, strapping, bronzed giant of a man in a tennis shirt, who gave her a hand shake that deprived her of the use of three fingers for a month, "I want you to meet one of vour favorito authors." "Oh, Mr. Tubb!" gushed Geraldine, "if you knew how I've been looking forward to this meeting to being ac tually face to face with the men who wrote those thrilling, throbbing novels.

The foreman says they do their work well though so far it has been light such as cutting weeds along the track and removing debris of all kinds from near the same. They all wear overalls and apparently like the "new dress." It is a strange thing to see women engaged at such work in this country, but if the war lasts it will soon get to be an every day affair. Now that it has been found reasonably easy to sink ships close to the harbors as was done at Zebrugge and Ostend, why would it not be a good plan to sink a number of them in these harbors or any other where the sub marines may find egress. With the submarines sinking a dozen vessels a week the allies might as well sacrifice three or four times that many and fill the harbors up. They might as well sink them as have the U-boats do it, for the toll taken in a few weeks would be as great as the loss incurred n filling a few harbors.

But here it seems to be the stylo to go as you please. 1 don't like it, Sis, and I don't believe it is right, or that it will make you hap py iu the end." "My, what a lecture. Now let's hur ry and get dressed for dinner. We may want to go somewhere, tonight." "Say, Sis, before we start I'd like to ask one more question. Why are you so afraid to sit up when George is out Mum never wcut to bed in her life un less Dad was home." "I'm not afraid, sillvl George wants me to get my beauty sleep. He hat.os to have ino look tired, and Jhink he was the cause. ISow clear out yourself handsome." The Reaction. I was absolutely weak from the strain of keeping David in ignorance of my feelings, and threw myself on the couch for a moment before commencing to dress. I was becoming awfully deceit- tul. xsut x coultln 't reel that it was wrong. Surely it was better to keep my hurts to myself! David would bo sure to go home and tell father ami mother, if I let him know how I felt. He would tell them enough, as it was, thought, just as I heard George come in I jumped up and hurriedly commenc ed to dress. Dr.ss to go out, both vou and Da vid," he called. "I havo tickets for the theatre." Are you going toot" I called back, scarcely daring to believe. ui course," lie answered in a de cided-tone. One, to hear him, would im agine he always woui with me. But I was so happy the reaction was so great that I never thought of being critical. "Dinner clothes, David!" I called, George is going to take us to the thea tre:." "Al right, Sis." Vte were quite gay at dinner, l was so proud of my handsome ItusDand, my I fine looking brother. I told them so, tell- I ing them they always should wear dress clothes. I "You don't look so bad yourself, Sis. Docs she, George! That dress is a p.'Ucheiino. But Oh! what would the home folks say to see you dressed up like that.

"I feel like I did when I put on an open face coat and vest fur the first time, he stud, when George tried to have him sit nearer the front. "It sort of seems as if I wag out in th.3 world and everyone was staring at me." "Don't worry; they don't even know you are here," I chaffed. "Then what was the use of coming!" he replied. "Well, if they don't look, they won t know what tbr.'y have miss ed," and he settled down to watch the stage. "1 have to go to New York next week, Helen. Would you liko to go along?"

The eclipse of the sun is scheduled for June 8, but there was a total eclipse for a large number of politicians which dated from the close of the polls last night. Thus Oregon is ahead 22 days, and instead of one, several favorite sons went behind the moon and will not emerge for. two years at least. Many old timers will learn with real sorrow of the passing of Walter Fernald, who died at Baker Thursday. He was a man of large ideas, a believer in the great future of Oregon, warm in his friendship, generous in his deal ings, and with a host of friends in all parts of the state. His death is a genuine loss to the state. The primaries are over which will help the Oregonian some in that it removes from its pages the vituprerative 'Vou got me wrong, ain't said the tall strapping man.

The president had brought along his golf cliiljs hoping for a round or two this. morning but Grayson frowned on this part of the program. The president had a regular, old fashioned "good time" last night and admitted it. At a theater, in response to a demonstration from the crowd, the president said: "You ere laboring under a delusion. You th-.nk you see the president of tho United States. What you really sec is a tired mun having a good time." It wis the first time the president had ever spoken thus from ft thnfltpf box in New York. The crowd checrer! wildly.

He dropped out of com trol to about 500 meters of the ground, then flattened out slightly over a wood when last seen. He is believed to have "crashed." Another German plane attempted to reach the American aviation grounds by using the French insignia as a ruse. The German motor was detected by itt sound, however, and his machine wa driven back.
