Save Old Magazines
and Newspapers
for the Red Cross

Here is a fine chance for all good
citizens of Salem and vicinity to aid
the Red Cross, without costing them
a cent.
The plan is to begin saving at once
all old papers and magazines. Each
evening collect papers and stack them
away. That is all there is to it until
about the first week in October.
Then the next thing is to tie all those
old papers into bundles of convenient
size. Then early in the morning of Sat
urday October 6. place those bundles
of papers just outside the front door.
just this and nothing more. Yet if
the good hOusekeepers of the 5000 or
more homes in Salem, besides all the
offices and state institutions do their
bit in saving old papers, there will be
several hundred dollars added to the
willamette chapter Of Salem,
Just at present the finances Of the
chapter are at a pretty low cbb. In
fact, there isn't any money in the
treasury. Yet from day to day, there is
"a call for thousands of yards of ma
~terials to be made into surgical sup
plies by the 100 or more auxiliaries.
Everybody Asked to Help
Ministers of all churches in the city
have been asked to call attention to
this collection of old papers and mag
azines. And the women's clubs in the
city are to be asked TO lend their aid.
1t is a big thing for the Red Cross
and a little thing for each household.
Old papers and magazines are valuable
when sold in ear load lots and assur-
ances have been given Mrs. u. j.. Riggs,
chairman of the newspaper campaign,
that the papers will be sold and the
Red Cross given the market price with
no profit for handling.

wards on the Willamette and Columbia
rivers laid down their tools and went
on strike today. The men walked out

MEN WITH DEPENDENTS
FACT OF DEPENDENTS RATHER
THAN FACT OF MARRIAGE
BASIS FOR EXEMPTION.

President Wilson has written a let
ter to Secretary Baker in which he
says:
I'VE ought, as far as practicable, to
raise this new national army without
creating the hardships necessarily en-
tailed when the head of family is
taken, and l hope that for the most
part those accepted in the first call
would be found to be men who had
not yet assumed such relations.
''The selective service law makes
the fact of dependents, rather than
the fact of marriage, the basis for ex-
emption, and there are, undoubtedly,
many cases within the age limits
fixed by law of men who are married
and yet whose accumulations or other
economic surroundings are such that
no dependency of the wife exists in
fact. Plainly, the law does not con-
template exemption for this class of
men,

A NOTABLE CONVERT
DEATH OF GEORGE n. HARTFORD,
TWELVE TIMES MAYOR OF
ORANGE, N. j.

The death at Spring Lake, N. j.,
last week, of George Huntington Hart
ford, president of the Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company, brings out
an interesting bit of history.
Mr.. Hartford's ancestors settled in
New Hampshire in the latter part of
the eighteenth century. George H.
Hartford was born in Augusta, Me-,
in 1888. He came to Orange in 1866,
the city named after William, Prince
of Orange, in the hope that Catholics
would not settle there. Mr.. Hartford
and his wife received the grace of
the true faith in Orange, and made
his home Immediately opposite the
magnificent Church of st. John, of
which he was most faithful attend
ant and benefactor during life. He
was elected Mayor of Orange in 1878
and was reelected twelve times, thus
breaking down the prejudice against
Catholics until now the old faith is
no bar to preferment in Orange.

A FISHER OF CHILDREN
BLANCHE LITTLE, A MODERN
MISSIoNARY-Wo OF TRUE
LAY APOSTLE.

Pittsburgh has just suffered great
loss by the death of Blanche Bowen
Little. Her name is almost unknown.
yet the story of her heroic devotion
is worth recounting.
Long before there was Contra
ternity of Christian Doctrine in Pitts
burgh, Blanche Little was a whole
confraternity in herself. Frail of
health, busy with a multitude of
home and other duties, she yet found
time for more than generation to
do work.
She literally went from door to
door, modern fisher of children
and with extraordinary success gath
cred into group after group, little
ones whose faith was actually stolen
from them, or on the verge of being
so, and, by the sheer weight of her
tremendous zeal, galvanized back into
life the Pickering sparks of faith, and
built up a foundation of faith and
hope and charity, made into the chill
dren of God the children of the slum
districts, back alleys, and more aban-
doned districts of Pittsburgh in a
dozen different localities.
How she did it will always remain
a mystery, even to those who knew
her best. But accomplish it she did,
and her loss to the small and noble
band that is struggling against OBJ
stacles mountain high, is simply in
calculable.
To see her, one would think she
had no energy at all, whereas she
was energy personified. Hers was
none of the modern fy-by-night en-
thusiasm, eager for all sorts of work
that is in the public eye, and COM
mands columns of newspaper noto-
riety, and then as speedily dies of
sheer inactivity and ennui She at
tempted nothing. she did not see
through to the end, and the end was
often bitter.
For clearness of vision in religious
matters, for sheer tenacity of pur-
pose when even strong characters
would have succumbed, for pure sim

she had few equals. She never thrust
herself forward, and, as one by one
the missions she founded, which are
now fourishing churches and chapels,
would seem to have crowned her
work with successful achievement,
she would begin all over again in
another locality, encounter the self
same difficulties, surmount them,
bring the work to still more sue
cessful conclusion, and again start
off, like st. Paul, on another mission
airy journey, often, as rugged in it's
way, as full of trials, and as unprom-

great Journeys of the Apostle of the

CARE OF OUR SOLDIERS.

Next Sunday, September 8,
there will be a special Mass in the
st. Paul Cathedral at ten o'clock.
This Mass is chiefly for those who
have entered or who are prepared
to enter for any reason whatso-
ever the various branches Of mill
tary service. A sermon appropri-
ate to the occasion will be preach
ed. On Monday and Tuesday
evenings, also, there will be spe-
cial exercises in the Cathedral for
the same purpose. The names OF
all parishioners who entered the
army or navy will be taken up and
carefully preserved. From time
to time, until they return, prayers
and devotions will be offered for
their spiritual and material well
fare.
This practice may well be COM
mended to all the parishes Of the
Diocese. Let it be known to those
young men who have felt the call
of duty and gone forth valiantly
In response, that their fellowmen
are not unmindful or ungrateful
for the exacting sacrifices which
response to that call entails.
Every parish should have special
services for that purpose. The
parishioners should gather and
should manifest their interest not
only in the material comforts of
the soldiers but also in their spir-
ltual welfare. In every parish the
names Of those members of the
congregation who have enlisted in
any branch of the government s
forces should be taken up and
carefully preserved. Frequent
prayers should be made in public
and In the name Of the whole con-
gregation for those absent mem
bers who are daring and doing IN
order that those who remain at
home may be protected and safe.

THE WHITE CROSS
ORGANIZATION IN SOUTH AMERI-
CA AIMS AT SOCIAL PURITY
DOES FOR THE SOUL WHAT
RED CROSS DOES FOR BODY.

This is an institution somewhat sim
liar to our RED Cross" but of high
er type and of different order. re-
Gently started in Santiago, Chile. The
following quotations from LA Union
Catolica,' will give us a good idea of
this splendid association, destined to
purify the social atmosphere of the
germs of immortality:
"Aim.-It has, for principal purpose,
to keep in view social purity, public
morality and the interest of souls. AS
the Red Cross takes care of the
wounds of the body, SO the White
Cross endeavors to take care of the
Injuries to the soul.
Membership. - There are three
classes of members: CD the active
members, those who take an active
part in the various sections of the
White Cross; (2) the cooperating
members, those who contribute an an
nual sum for the various purposes of
the work; CD the honorary members,
who have been deserving of the work
by their donations, legacies or serv-
ices rendered.
"Conditions.-Any person, who &C
cepts the bylaws and co-operates by
some pecuniary help, may belong to
the White Cross as cooperating or
honorary member. Only those per-
sons who are willing to work in the
social field can be active members.
Both classes, upon joining, sign their
names to a formula of adhesion and
set down the amount they will contri.
butte every year. The lowest fee is
$500 and entities a subscriber to the
monthly organ of the White Cross.
There are vigilance meetings and
apostleship meetings, for which there
are special rules"
The association has received most
enthusiastic appreciation from the
Archbishop of Santiago.
