of increasing revenue in their pro

ARGUMENT
BY Walt MnsOn

I've never found in joint debate much profit
or much pleasure, though have arguments
of weight, and facts beyond all measure.
My neighbors sit around all day and argue
without ceasing; they jabber, in their tire
less way, until their lungs need greasing.
They say the same thing Ger and Ger, a
million times they've said it; and in the
village not a store will give these alecks
credit. They tell how governments would
run if their advice were needed, and lack
the price to buy ton of coal that's badly
needed, Some of their wives are scrubbingI

A Breath From the State
Federation of Wonlen's S Clubs

Out beside the Ochoco
Where the white stars wink and gliAl
mer,
Met a hundred eager souls
To make earth IS evils DINNER.
The details of their wondrous plans
Would try your patience merely,
So here s a sketch and Just sketch
Of what they loved most dearly.
Federation Song
A song to sing on journeys east,
Twas needed very badly,
But words and tunes they wouldn' fit
They clashed together sadly.
The tune they dropped, =
Bhe words still stuck,
For Portland claims the rose. you
know,
Which does our state so grandly.
We let them have their warning way,
The Portland rose still sing it.
Yes, chant it all across the states,
E EN- with the angels wing it.
Moving Pictures
Tell the moving picture man
What you wish to see.
A fairy film, a dream of home,
Or children s gambls free.
Remind him that you'll tell your
friends,
Why then he'll do his best.
Be sure to get behind and push,
He waiting for this test.
Federation Pin
Too cheap the pin they chose for us,
For truly gold, we pine.
Bring back the pin of yester year,
1t had real home shine.
The Patriotic Child
In a world that's dark with shadows,
Keep the children s faces bright.
Give them freedom, give them sunshine
Give them mothers, It's their right
Take them not from school and lessons,
Sad will be the reckoning,
If we spend their youth and lightneSs,
In the narts of money wise.
The tomorrow of our children,
We are making now-today,
Sadness must not keep its sway.
Pass not alien boys and girls,
Thru the fires of hate,
They are pure, they are not guilty,
Let your angry passions wait.
Trust no word of ancient coming,
Give the laborer his due,
Living wage and childish laughter,
Make the loyal heart and true.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson's Speech on
Liberty Bonds
Does this nation love it money,
Do we every cry for gain3
Shall we lick the kaiser now,
Or in turn be licked by him7
Do you wish to know the first thing,
This world must do today9
On the junk heap throw the kaiser,
Boots and crown, and handy legs.
Shall we keep our measly money,
Safe at home and send our sons?
Noi the kaiser now must know it,
We have money yet in tons.
To Prineville
When the stars are hid, and the noun
tains slid,
into the deep cold sea.
Let our minds erase, the last feud
trace,
IF memories glad of thee.

There will be no money loaned Russia until af-
fairs there unanged There is recognized govern
ment to which the money could be turned over if
the authorities were disposed to advance it to admit
tedy pro-German regime. 1t is probable the present

Kerensky of his party will again be in power
The soldiers who want to fight apparently backing

THE ULTRA PAc1F1sT.

Tooloose Teeth was an ultra pacifist
1t was the first time, as far as he could
memember, tat he had ever walked
through dark alley, and, as might
have been expected, he was soon con-
fronted by a hold-up man.
Don t shoot" quavered Tooloose
Teeth. "I'm an ultra pacifist and l
wouldn't dream of resisting for the
world My wallet is in my inside coat
pocket, my gold watch set with blinxes
and bloobies is in my vest pocket, and
you II find six Chinese pennies in my
right hand trouser pocket.'
After the holdup, Tooloose Teeth was
in such hurry to get out of the alley
that he almost collided with short,
thickset man at the far end.
'Watch out where yer lookin ,! !"
growled the short, thickset man in a
short, thickset voice. And he it Too
loose Teeth clout between the eyes
that made him see such a marvellous
collection of stars he was sorry he
didn't have his camera with him.
eff 1 weren't an ultra pacifist Il d
strike you back,' he suffered. "But
as it rs wouldn It think of striking
you."
"Thanks for the tip" grinned the
short, thickset man, and gave him an
other clout that made all the stars re-
turn with their friends.

Tooloose Teeth awoke with start.
"Such a dream!" he shivered, and,
rushing to the telephone, called up
army eadquarters and told them to
send around uniform and an applica-
tion blank Immediately.

MERIT IN THE SUGGESTION

Senator Garlands suggestion as to special session OF
the legislature for the purpose OF passing measures Tor
taking of matters arising from the war; such as the
Red Cross dependent persons such may become SO
through the war; has considerable merit The sole obJec-
ton to the extra session of the legislature is its attendant
expense In fact the suggestion has behind it the same
arguments that back OF the selectve draft system
That was adopted to place all Americans level as to
service 1t was to prevent the selection being such that
those who were the most patriotic alone doing their duty
by their country 1t is the in the matter OF voun
eer subscriptions to such funds have been mentioned
The patriotic those who have relative at the 'front.'
the generous are compelled to put up not only their fair
proportion of such but also to put up for the tight wad
and the Stacker Within few months another liberty
loan will have to be floated and this will be subscribed
largely by the persons who responded generously
on the previous occasions 1t is this class that must
provide in addition under the present system, for all
subsidiary things required by the provision OF law
levyng all for such purposes seems the only fair
way Besides these things there others that draw
pretty regularly on the private citizen for donations
Here in Salem for instance have the Y. NJ c. A
already largely subscribed; and the hospital measure
ready to follow on its heels There will be other things
that will have to be taken Of and if way be
provided in which the Red Cross and such needs be
provided for by tax it will help the situation amazingly

The Union Lenten Services of the
Methodist and Congregational
churches will continue this week in the
Congregational church every evening
except Saturday. The services begin
at 7:3O.
The Union service next Sunday will
be held at the Methodist church at 5
o'clock, instead of at 7:30 as formerly
announced. -
The services have been growing ip
interest and promise to continue with
increasing profit to all attending. OF
all times of the year this Lenten sea-
son seems the most propitious for the
people to renew their religious life,
and it is fitting for the church to re-
serve this season for special empha-
sis of the religious life. There is hard
ly an individual that would wish to
live in a community without churches.
And the churches bespeak larger in
terest in the great work in which
they are engaged. "Come thou with
US and we will do thee good"
