Willamette Auxiliary
Has List Of Red Cross
Workers In This City

Willamette University auxiliary, with
Miss st. Pierre in charge, has scored
highest in the Christmas Red Cross
membership campaign according to la
test reports, with a total of 130, all
taken at the University. st. Joseph is
second with 101, the First NJ. E., third
with 90, D. A. r., fourth with 80, and
the Presbyterians fifth with 81.
Other reports are as follows: Sacaja-
wac, Co. Congregational, Sc; Golden
Hour, 80; Three Links, 33; W. R. Q.
80; Luella Kimball, % Rampheterians,
81; Memo, 90 Miscellaneous member
ships, taken through the booths, the
State house drive, and at headquarters,
total 1877 Totals for the city as so far
reported reach $50.
Few reports have reached headuar-
ters from the county outside of Salem.
Stavton leads these with 106 reported.
Aumsville has also turned in a good re-
port their total beng 46. Various
points in the county are however calling
for extra materials, which seems to pro
mise well for the ultimate size of the
result.
Campaign Manager Gill is to go to
Chemawa this evening and will endea-
ver to return the Indian school 100
per cent Red Cross. These will be al
most entirely new members as there has
been no auxiliary at Chemawa hitherto.
Many new points in the county are to
be or have been organized as a result
of the membership drive, including
Perkins school, SCOTS Mills,
(organized from Silverton) and Eorth
Santiam organized from Stayton. Organ
ization is also in process at Auburn
and Hazel Green.
The floods have interfered seriously
with the solicitation, both in city and
county, this with the slowness in re-
porting making the county total show
up rather small at the present hour.
MANY counties in the state have been
unable to make any report at all.

Better Weather Boosts
Red Cross Campaign

With the settling of the weather to-
day was the first day that the Red
Cross campaign really got under way.
Shortly afternoon the campaign head
quarters reported that over 400 new
members had been secured and predict
ed that well over the 1900 mark would
be reached by evening.
OF this number practically all are
within the city, The heavy rains Of the
past two or three days have made it
impossible to carry on the work in the
country districts. Word was received
this morning from st. Paul that much
of the country there was covered with
water and that it was impossible to so.

destroyed submarine the morn
ing after leaving a British port
on its voyage, according to stor-
les told by passengers.

Labor Commissioner HOf
Could Not Reach TilIamOOk

Commissioner of Labor Hoff, who
started for Tillamook yesterday morn
ing for the purpose of preventing a
strike among the loggers at that place,
got as far as Hillsboro and there found
the roadbed had slid out from under
the rails in places making the going
for trains so uncertain. that all of
them refused to attempt the trip. Mr..
Hoff wired State Senator 7. B. Handley
to represent him and take charge of
the situation until travel conditions
permitted Mr. Hoff making the trip.
The men complain that they are un-
justly treated and allege that some
time ago when strikes were pending,
the loggers of Tillamook beyond loyal
and desiring to do all they could IN
their line to help win the war, all
joined what is known as the Loyal
Legion of Loggers, and in doing so
pledged themselves not to strike dur.
ing the continuance of the war. They
claim that because of this pledge the
mill men and employers relying on the
men keeping their pledges have begun
a series of nagging, of docking them
on the least provocation or upon none
at all. The employers accumulate
some money by this means, and at the
expense of the loggers. The men would
not object so much to the small losses
caused by this petty persecution but
they do as American citizens and loyal
ones, object to having their loyalty
exploited and they treated contumaei-
ously. They will probably make no
move until the labor commissioner gets
a chance to investigate the situation.

LIVING AT HOME

After many years Of preaching
from the agricultural experts and
farm demonstration agents the wal
and the boil weevll have been the
final agents in causing the farmers
to begin a years work with the firm
intention of making sufficient food
crops to feed themselves, at least, if
not to have some to sell.
A glance at the fields of Lee coun-
ty is sufficient to convince one that
the farmers of this county are try
ing to grow abundant food crops
this year. 1t appears that there is
more corn planted in the county
than during any year since the Civil
War. Those who have observed
conditions for the last forty years
seem to think this is true. The
corn crop seems representative.
Not only is it true that corn has
been planted in abundance but also
that other food crops are receiving
similar attention Many farmers
planted oats, though the crop was
very poor. Some planted wheat
and made fairly good crop. More
still are planting, or haze planted,
large crops of potatoes. sugar cane,
velvet beans and cowpeas. So the
fields are well filled with growing
food crops.
Surely such a terrible seorfge as
war isno unmitigated disaster when.
it causes otherwise Indifferent farm
ers to plant food crops In some
thing like the ratio in which such.
crops should always be cultivated,
no matter what the national eco
monte conditions are. Thanks to
the boil weevil, too, if with its ele-
ment of destruciveness it brings
with it this constructive feature Of
causing the farmers to plant food
crops. Living at home lisa delight
ful change from living ont of the
store.

Brother Griffin Of the Bainbridge
Post-Searchlight gave Tom Wat
sons policies nice little shaking
up last week, and we would love to
see some logical, dispassionate reply
made to it, we don't think it can
be did, read the following:
The best method OF defense is to
knock the stuffing out Of the other
fellow before he can hit you, Don t
wait until he knocks you down, get
on your neck and shoots your home
all to pieces before you defend your
self. That is the Watson idea wait
until the Germans land here and
shoot up our seaport cities, rape our
women on the coast, murder our
children. The manly idea il to
meet him before he gets here, on
his own ground if you can and
hammer the flies out of him and let
the flying pieces hit his folks not
yours Twice armed is he
whose cause is just, thrice armed is
he whose gets his lick in first. "said
Artemus Ward and it holds good.
The man that staysi in his own yard,
lodging and running from the guy
outside that is trying to kill him,
usually gets killed but the guy that
carries the war into the enemies
country, makes that enemy pay the
freight and that is Woodrow Will
sons idea. II we sit down and
wait for the German army it will
come in time and in all its fearful
ness but if we send our men over
there, will keep him so busy that
he can't come and our women and
children are safe. -Bainbridge Post

HERR TOM WATSON-HARDWICK

Herr Thomas Watson Hardwick
is an incubus to the American Com.
monweaIth, and cankerous disap-
pointment to his constituents in
Georgia. The specific gravity OF
his manhood is not sufficient for
the strain and stress Of these extra
ordinary times. This garrulous fell
low is either wholly possessed by
the Prussian instinct Of deception,
or he is neutrality-suspicious. to APP
preciate the fundamentals of Ameri-
canism.
The autocrats which are waging
war against us have savagely and
mercilessly outraged our fellow citi-
zens; with contempt and acorn
they have ignored us and houted at
our rights; they even have, the ter
merity to aspire to ultimately, in
some degree make us tributary to
Prussia. Yet Senator Won Watson
Hardwick does all that lie can to
paralysize the hand that would
crush this monster, vindicate our
rights, and maintain our respect
among the par with serfdom.
Georgians, like all true Ameri-
cans, are experiencing anew those
quickening pulsations which stirred
the nation, and gave it nerve and
strength in its hour OF travail in
1875 when civil and political liber-
ty was born in earth. It is the
priceless heritage of our Fathers,
which they obtained after years of
long suffering, and the sacrifice Of
much blood. In their struggle for
| liberty, it was their slogan, United
we stand, divided we fall " Yet
Herr Won Watson-Ha dwiek, would
sell this heritage for a mess of pot
tage; he would deliver us into the
hands Of our enemies, after robbing
us of that strength which is in
union, by stirring up strife, discord
and disaffection amongst the hosts.
The Country is aroused as never
before in generations; these lie Sc
rious and grave times in our
national life; we need and want
statesmen, and not gew-gaw dema-
gogues, to sit in the counsels of our
government; our heritage, and OH
ideals are being assaulted ard at
tackled by most powerful, fiendish
and determined foe; the very warp
and wool Of our political existence
is at stake. This is not time to in
dulge the vaporings of the traitor
politicians. The extraordinary con
dition Of affairs make it criminal to
do so. Tom Hardwick should re-
sign his seat in the senate. He has
already brought enough reproach
to Georgians. He has been weighed
in the balances and found wanting.
He is political leper, and should
be thrown without the camp as un-
clean.
