The Great Effort
And What It Means

The greatest effort which humanity
has ever been called on to make in
the interest of a suffering world is
now on, and few shirkers are found.
Perhaps no plan could have been de-
vised that within cne weeks effort
would furnish such a splendid census
of the patriotism of this great coun-
try than the plan of raising $780,
100000 for Red Cross purposes. 1t
is wonderfully inspiriting thing that
at this moment is being done in every
nook and corner CT the great republic.
Who is it that now is willing to say
that America can not be aroused by
sentiments of humanity and mercy to
offer its money and the blood of its
sous in the cause of liberty and love?
Away out here, 5000 miles from
the trenches, the wave Of interest Is
rolling in with an irresistible force.
Rich and poor alike are coming to the
front and placing on the altar their
offerings. The widows mite as well
as the great contributions of the
captains of industry" are made with
thankfulness. Our boys who are soon
to be started to the front, though still
with us, will not forget what they see
and hear today When suffering from
sickness and wounds and oh! so far
from home, they will remember with
gratitude the proof of the solicitude
of those who have been left behind.
Though your son may not be soothed
by the lotions and bandages of his
own mother and sister, yet he will be
by that of some other, while those
prepared by his own loved ones will
be mitigating the suffering of some
other mothers sons. In the great
common cause of humanity this great
country is common family. The
boys are all of them the sons of each
From all reports Oregon is doing
in this as in the Liberty bond matter,
meeting the call fully and with meas
ure running over. 1t is something to
cheer the heart of the sick and weary
to see with what eagelness all are
coming forward. Last evening after
the canvas Of the day had closed,
little girl and her mother appeared
at the home of one of the canvassers.
The mother had already made her
contribution and the girl would not
allow her mother to rest until she.
too, had made hers, and though need
ing the money for other purposes,
she gave 50, saying that she would
do without something she thought |
she needed. Such things will make
the boys brave. Many things are in !
evidence to show more than ever be-
fore the attitude of people to the flag
and the things it stands for. A few
days ago an aged Sweed was buried
here at the age of 79. Some years

Wolters on coming in from his rail
road work OF the southern end Of
the road discovered that ne was hun
cry for ice cream and went uptown
and got such large freezer full that
they had to call in the neighbors to
help eat it. However, The neighbors
can testify that the strawberry cream
was very fine indeed and are not
at all sorry Mr.. Wolters concluded he
was very hungry for ice cream.

0regOn's Dollars
Are Not SlaCkerS

If there were no Red Cross
Americas part in the world conflic
would only be ruthless warfare.
We would be sending forth forces
solely to lay waste, destroy and kill
For our soldiers and sailors, We
would give no evidence of the con.
Germ felt at home for their welfare.
In our selfish clinging to con.
venience, comfort and luxury, we
would give no sign of the "Spirit OF
rs" or the splendid quality of sacri-
flee that strengthened the fingers OF
our women in the civil war as they
tore their delicate garments into
bandages
Our dollars would be slackers and
the soldier boy you told goodbye to
probably would not come back again.
But there is Red Cross
America has unsheathed the sword
and elevated the Red Cross.
On every battlefield our soldiers
will not go farther than the stretcher
bearers of the Red Cross, will not
risk their lives more splendidly for
our liberty than the stretcher bearers
do for mercy
Our ally will not love us better for
the strength we give his fighting arm
than the healing we lay upon his
wounds. Our boys will fight more
heroically, confident that If they fall,
the Red Cross will carry them back
of the trenches and do all that skill
and love and devotion can do to save
their lives. Knowing, too, that If a
little cross in foreign land must
mark their last resting place, the Red
Cross at home will be keeping want
from mother, wife or children.
Wherever war makes need, the Red
Cross serves. The service of the Red
Cross demonstrates above all that we
do not brutally fight to beat down
and break a foe, but for liberty, not
so swayed by lust of battle that we
cast from the hand of love the symbol
of mercy-the Red Cross.
Thus, even as America fights,
Americas heart thrills in response to
the Red Cross appeal and American
pocketbooks open wide.
Thus, even as Oregon gives her
young men to the army and the navy,
she gives her money to the Red Cross
that our defenders may be defended.
Throughout the state the emer-
gency appeal of the Red Cross has
set in motion an army of volunteer
workers that are getting enthusiastic,
patriotic, generous response every
where.
Oregon's dollars are not slackers.

plans for assessing the cost of a cost

where. The city is looking for a
cross man to act as cross detective
and find the cross

The old street grader may be
turned in as part Of the purchase

hauled by two horses for ordinary
work. The matter of the purchase
has been left to the street committee.
as has also the matter of the pur-
chase of a pavement patching kettle,
to be reported at the next meeting.

ONCE BUSY CITY NOW QUIET
Wisely Has Little to Show That IT Wac
at One Time LiveIiest Place of
Its Size in Europe.

To the eastward of Sweden, in the
island of Cortland, with its capital of
Wisely. Little visited and little known,
Wisely is one of the most Interesting
cities of northern Europe. 1t is In the
track Of half the Russian and Scandi-
navian sea commerce, but few ships
make the land today in which was once
the busiest of northern harbors.
Land at Wisely and you find a quiet
little city with UNCOVERED houses and
gardens of roses, going about it's unim-
portaut affairs in an atmosphere of
placid calm. 1t takes a considerable
effort of the Imagination to call up a
picture of the times when Wisely was
10 the Baltic and the North sea what
Venice in the height of her power was
TO the Mediterranean. Wisely in those
days was the wealthiest and liveliest
city Of it's size in Europe.
The men of Wisely seem to have been
traders from the beginning. Back in
the ancient Morse chronicles there is
mention made of Wisely galleys that
went all over the known globe and
traded the treasures of the Levant
with Morse kings. Today they are still
digging about in a desultory fashion
on the island IN search of historical
relics and the shoyels bring up coins
of all the ancient natiOns-coins of old
Britain, of barbarian Russia, of the
numberless German states, of France
and Spain and north Africa. WHISKY
gathered the gold of every land with
her venturous trading keels, in times
when little business trip had as much
romance and danger as the forays of
knight Grant fighting over his ladys
eyebrow.

TRAPPING or MONKEYS EASY
Curiosity. Greed and Initiative Faculty
Of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point of Attack.

When we see in the street an or
gan-grinder with his little red-capped
pet monkey, we seldom stop to think
of the animals native home or how it
was trapped. AS a matter of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The aforementioned
have nostrils widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with narrow nasal septum.
One might readily imagine that the
trapping of monkeys is difficult OPP
Grafton. However. nothing could be
further from the truth than this by
pothesiS. Monkeys are easily caught,
not by heavily built traps, but by
sheer ingenuity and the simplest sort
of articles. A monkey has various yul-
nerable points of attack, so to speak !;
and these are cupidity, curiosity, COW
etousness or greed, and a truly won
derful initiative faculty.
A trapper can take a pair Of boots
into the jungle, drop them down within
sight of a monkey and soon have
that monkey in a cage. The boots on
his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here is where
the monkey is mistaken. AS soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de-
scends from some tree and thrusts his
own feet into the boots. The inside is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast +;
also the boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chain a gourd,
filed with corn or some other eatable,
TO a heavy log. Mr.. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relishes it, end
wants more. There is no limit to his
greed. He thrusts his hand into the
small opening in the gourd and his
fingers close around large supply of
the food. Then he finds himself I'M
able to withdraw his hand. The trap
per advances and captures Mr.. Mon
key, because the animals thinking
cap and his Unsuitable greed are such
that the simple expedient of releasing
the food never occurs to him as a
means of escape.
