Home Camp No. 3469. The brilliant

able talk on the work of the order and
it is to be remembered that Neighhor
Hamblin organized this camp about 10
years ago. She answered many ques-
tions of vital Importance to the mem

sented NeighbOr Hambln with floral
offering of pink and white carnations
and ferns tied with purple and white

OREG0NlANS ARE.
LOYAL TO OREGON
OregOn'S Home Company Leads the
Eastern BiIliOnaireS

1t is generally admitted that the
financial supremacy of NewYork arises
chiefly from the fact that the home
, offices of a large number of life and
fire insurance companies are located
there, and every state in the Union has
in the past paid constantly growing
tribute in premium payments to New
York and assisted in the upbuilding of
the bank clearances Of the city of New
York.
Since the life insurance upheaval in
1905 among the s0-called Millionaire
companies wonderful change has
taken place in the life insurance busi-
ness of the country. Nearly every
state now has one or more home COM
panies, and these compete successfully
in business getting with the Millionaire
companies. In Oregon so companies
are operating, and it must be crafty
ing information for every loyal Ore
gonian to know that Oregon Life In
surance Company leads every one of
the so companies.
The sworn statements filed with In
surance Commissioner Ferguson at Sa-
lem show that Oregon Life, after de-
ductiOn OF all policies which ceased by
reason of death or otherwise, still made
gain of 81, l4l, 384.00 in business in
force during the year 1918, and that no
other company made so large a gain as
that in the state of Oregon.
That this is not the accidental hap
pening of single year is further evi.
denced by the fact that while in 1906,
which was the year the Oregon Life
started business, its premium colec
tions were but S24,4 ,474, the sworn state
ments of 1913 show the premium col
lections of Oregon Life in that yeal
were $2i2, $500, and that no Other
company had made SO large gain il
Oregon.
Oregon Life is the only exclusively
Oregon company, and makes all of ii,
investments in Oregon securities. 1t il
one of the great upbuilding factors O
this state, and its wonderful pros perit,
is source of congratulation to Oregon
and Oregonians.

LAWS GOVERNING
CITY ORGANIZATION

On account Of the election for the
purpose Of Incorporating the proposed
City Of Utility, the citizens Of the val
ley will be interested in the laws gov
erning such elections. as well as the
provisions for eleeting officials Of such
proposed cities and the powers they
will acquire.
The election must be conducted as a
general election and only those who
would be qualified 10 vote at a general
election. can cast ballots on April ~,
and an voters must have been resi-
dents ia the boundaries Of the proposed
town for at least three months. II a
majority Of those voting declare In Ia
vOr Of a municipality. the county court
issues a proclamation 10 the effect that
the city has been Incorporated. All
expenses Of the election must be paid
by the petitioners.
Within not less than 10 nor more
than 20 days after the proclamation
has been issued, a mayor. six alder
men, a recorder. a marshal and treas
urer must be elected.
The act under which the election will
be held was passed by the legislature
last year. 4 city organized under The
act has certain general powers, but
Immediately on its organization and
the election Of its officials il has the
important power given il urser Section
2 Of Article II of the Constitution, OF
amending or altering its charter in any
way that il sees fit. subject to the Con-
stituti0n and the criminal laws Of the
state.
While the new city would have the
power to operate public utilities plants,
the laws under which the city will be
incorporated make no provisions for
financing, limitation of $250O upon
the city's Indebtedness being fixed by
the statute itself, and therefore It
would be necessary for an election to
be held after the officers were elected,
in case a majority voted for the incor-
poration. for the purpose Of amending
the charter or enacting a new charter,
giving the city the power to sell bonds
or utility certificates, and specifying
the manner in which II could acquire a
public utilities plant.

PR0N0UNCING ENGLISH.
Going Astray on the Correct Use Of
"u'' and Jew" Sounds.


~" and Jew" Sounds.
A curious feature of the English Ian.
guage as it is spoken in this part of
the United States is the prevalence OF
a dual system OF pronunciation. The
dictionaries tell US unequivocally that
we should pronounce dew" knew"
and stew" as we do few" and that
student" stupid" and similar words
should be enunciated as if they We're
spelled "steudent" and stupid"
Nobody, apparently, disputes the cor
rectness OF this manner Of prOnounc-
ing "u' and "ew"-yet here is rule
very much more honored in the breach
than in the observance, Except for
stage folks, the faculties aud some of
the students of schools and colleges
and a few persons who make a point of
precise speaking, the academic sound
of N" is diSregarded almost univer-
sally.
1t is by no means through ignorance
that people say "stoo" and "stoopid."
There are worthy persons who seem
to feel that good American really
ought to say "stoo' and "stoopid."
They think, apparently, that the ortho-
dox "u' and "ew" are Anglicisms and
are used in this country only by per
sons pedantic or affected"
OF course, for all practical purposes
one way of pronouncing is as good as
another and usage has made both
forms correct Nevertheless, the right
use Of III" and "ew" adds music and
variety to the English language, and
the younger generation might do well

icanism" that has no real good excuse

We may appear to follow Fashion
slavish1y, but there are times when
we feel that we must express a bit of
our own personality in our dress The
lines may be OF the most approved

every one Is wearing. but now and
then an opportunity comes for us to

FRANCE is VICTIM OF
sWINDLE IN WAR SUPPLIES

New York, Nov. 4.-The French
consulate has started on the trail
of what is alleged to be a wide
spread attempt to swindle the French
government through the big war
contracts which are being let in this
country.
information as to the swindlers
first reached the consulate through
the director of the New York Board
of Trade. The plan was for certain
individuals to obtain samples of
goods and prices from various man
ufacturers by representing them
selves as agents of the French gov
ernment empowered to enter into
big contracts. They then approach
ed the French officials, this time as
alleged agents of the manufacture
ers.
The board of trade who supplied
the information declared today that
he knew of one man who had visited
big shoe manufacturer. He claim
ed to have a contract to let for
10000 pairs of heavy shoes and
asked for samples. He was shown
some ranging in price from $50 to
$500.
"The cheap ones will do" he said.
The manufacturer, surprised, said:
"You do not intend to use these
shoes for soldiers, do you? They
are not fitted for campaign use, and
would not last a soldier fifty miles
"Oh WE'LL" replied the alleged
agent at does not matter. The men
yLo wear them will be dead ten
minutes after they put them on"
Captain A. F. Martin, military
attache to the French consulate, said
today that immediate steps would
be taken to put these fake agents
out of business.
Incidentally, Captain Martin declar-
ed that most of the contracts for
the French government were going
to western firms.
New York is not enterprising
enough he said. 81 get a score
of letters with bids from western
firms to one from New York"
