DIR. KERR MAY GO TO KANSAS

President Kerr of the o. A. G. is
considering a call to the Kansas Agri-
cultural College. 1t would be unfor-
tunate to the state Of Oregon to lose
DIR. Kerr. He is the peer of any edu-
Gator in the United States. It is a
great compliment to DR.. Kerr to re-
ceive a call from the Kansas Agricul-
tural College, for 1t is recognized uni
versally as the foremost institution
of its kind in the country, but 1t is
hoped, in the interest of o. A. c.,
that he remain here. 1t means much
to the youth Of this state to have the
Agricultural College administered
and kept out of politics.
The state Of Oregon appreciated
the work DR.. Kerr has done. He
should be given salary commensur.
ate with his great abilities and al
great recognition as is extended Il
him elsewhere, and he should be in
duced to remain here.

Health is Worth Saving, and Some

It.
Many Ashland people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Weak kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health-the slightest
delay is dangerous. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills-a remedy that has helped
thousands of kidney sufferers. Here
is an Ashland citizens recommenda-
tion:
Mrs. e. F. Wolters, 263 Mountain
avenue, says: II have been taking
Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for
long time when have felt any need
of kidney medicine and they have
never failed to give good satisfaction.

THANKSGIVING.

(By Elizabeth Yockey)
Though troubles brew on land and
sea
And blood-stains mar both hill and
lea,
Though loved ones go-we know not
where
Though rumors rife fill earth and air,
Though battles rage throughout the
realm,
Give thanks, for God is at the helm.
Be thankful We have much to learn.
We may not understand each turn
OF wheel of fortune-wheel Of fate,
But watch and hope and work and
wait.
where'er you are, you're in Gods
realm.
Be thankful-He is at the helm.
Sail on! Sail on! o Ship of State!
There may be naught to emulate.
But He who holds the earth in hand,
He'll guide our bark-He'll take COM
mand.
Be thankful. Well unfurl each sail,
For in the end fright will prevail" !"

War Insurance Law
Benefit Soldiers

The secretary of the treasury,
through the Bureau Of War Risk In
surance, has been charged with the
administration of the war insurance
law enacted by congress as measure
of justice to the men and women who
have been called to give their lives
If need be, in the service of their
country.
To care for the wife and children
of the enlisted man during his serv-
ice, the war insurance law compels
him to contribute up to one-half Of
his pay for their support. The gov
ernment, on application, will gener-
ously add to this an allowance Of
from S. to $50 a month, according

R. e. Christmas
Seal Campaign

The Red Cross Christmas seal cam
paign, which begins all over Oregon
December 1, must produce $4,000
this year as compared with the $1,000
sought last year. A. L. Mills, presi-
dent of the association and Of the
First National Bank of Portland, has
no fear of the campaigns success.
"The amount of $4,000 for all Of
Oregon is very SMALL" he said, "both
compared with the states willingness
to give toward so practical patriotic
service and the amount Of work that
will be done. The entire additional
amount for the care Of soldiers will
be expended without overhead ex-
pense of any kind.
another element that always aids
the appeal for the CHEEKY Red Cross
Christmas seal is the fact that those
who have but a penny or a nickel to
invest are helping the cause just as
those who have dollars. The high
prices caused by war haven't hit the
seals; they still sell for penny
EACH"
With the money provided from the
sale of seals last year. tuberculosis
surveys of great value in controlling
the disease have been made in Lane,
Multnomah, Baker, Washington,
Jackson, Umatilla, Clackamas, Ma

systematic visits to homes where the

phases Of life takes deeper root as
the conflict progresses. Their vic
tory must be, they fully realize, vic
tory over materialisms and material
ism of the crashest kind. They have
no dreams of world empire-simply a
consuming desire to live their own
lives according to their highest lights.
- We believe that when the smoke
of the conflict shall have passed, the
world, shocked and Mortified at the
results Of materialism. will decree
that never again shall it prevail, and
that mankind shall be free to pursue
its way onward and upward to the
great destiny awaiting it.

WILL MATERIALIsM INCREASE?

What will be the effect Of the great
conflict upon the inner life Of the
peoples affected? Will the old-time
ideals and aspirations for something
above and beyond what earth can
give, survive, or will the world be en-
quilted in a wave Of materialism that
shall undo and nullify the efforts Of
the seers and prophets of the ages?
Wars among Christian nations are
as fatal to the higher life of the peo-
pie affected as is apostacy to the COM
munity. The failure Of people to
live up to the highest of their ideals
spreads in other peoples a contempt
for those ideals. Will this be the
outcome of the present conflict?
We for one do not believe it will.
We do not believe 1t, for the reason
that the world-or at least the great
er part of it's today fighting ma
terialsm in its most dangerous form.
We insist that in those responsible
for this war the higher life is mega
tive quality, or at best so dwarfed
and warped by false views of life as
to be entirely overshadowed by the
baser nature.
The world has pretty well arrived
at a definite knowledge of the fact
that William Of Germany is the
source and inspiration of the con-
flict. True, he was aided and abetted
by kindred spirits, but those spirits
were powerless without his word.
What, then, Is the nature of Kaiser
William? First, he is monarch who
throughout his whole reign has in
sisted that he rules by divine right
So ruling, he, in his opinion, can dc
no wrong. His rights are to him

his own desires. That those desires
relate to his own glory and that Of
his close following there can be nc
doubt. The masses of the German
people have been dazzled by the gilt
tering display of militarism and tht
bright promises held out to them IL
the event of victory, but the radiance
of those visions is fading, and soor
they will pass away, leaving the Ger
man people to face the coldly materia
fact of defeat. Fortunate will the.
be when If they can grasp the full
extent of the unworthiness of tn
cause in which they have been fight

ROBERT n. STANFIELD FOR U. s..
SENATOR.

Speaker Robert N. Stanfield has
decided to enter the republican pri-
maries as q candidate for United
States senator against Senator Nc
Nary. For some time Mr.. Stanfield
has been considering the matter of
running either for governor or U. S.

latter. From complimentary notices
in the Oregonian it looks as if Mr..
Stanfield would have the support of
