RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
FOR MEMBERSHIP
Began Yesterday the Object
Being to Get $500 Mem
bers, Workers Busy

The campaign for the securing of
$500 members for the Salem Red Cross
was on yesterday and will continue to-
day. Every section of the town will be
visited by the committees assigned to
the seventeen districts and it is the in
tention that no one be overlooked. The
Red Cross button will soon be appear
ing on the streets of Salem as badge
of patriotism.
The workers yesterday report a rath-
er unusual situation for patriotic
city like Salem. 1t is those who can
least afford to part with the dollar
that are showing the greatest patriot
ism, while many who could easily af-
ford to support the Red Cross have re-
fused to even give the ST. membership
fee. In other words, it is the average
man and woman who are showing the
proper spirit, while those who would
not miss a dollar, are lacking in patri-
otism. This is the report of many of
the workers yesterday and not of just
one or two.
| At meeting last evening of the St
Joseph's auxiliary, DR.. H. J. Clements
gave talk on the work to be done
with the Red Cross. A class of % was
formed with Mrs. Frank Jaskowsky
as president and Miss Anna Mullin as
secretary. Mrs. E. Z. Fisher, chairman
of the membership committee spoke OF
the work that can be done by an aux
iliary.
An auxiliary of St. Paul IS Episcopa
q N
Agnes ellison was elected chairman
Mrs, t. L. Williams, treasurer, an'
Mrs. Serena Schultz, secretary.
Thursday evening a meeting will b
held at Falls City when an auxiliar.
will be organized. Several speaker
from Salem will attend and explain tn
work of the Red Cross.

working for 100 members. Silverto

BEGAN WORK RIGHT
Presidents Wise Moves When
 Nation Entered War.
Severance of Relations With Pacifist Element Was One, and Readiness to Listen to Those Who
 Knew, Another.

''Time will demonstrate that MT. Wilson is the greatest war president the nation ever had"
 That is the opinion expressed by MT. Gerard, soon after his return from Der lin, where for four years he had been the American ambassador to Germany.
 If MT. Wilson becomes such presi- dent, it will be largely due to the two steps he took when he was forced to call for a declaration of war against the German government.
 His first important step after that event was to turn his back upon-to tire pacifist element.
 That step brought to him scandalOus abuse by these elements, their orators and their press, but that was offset many times over by the satisfaction his course had given to the millions who stand ready to manifest their will ingness to make any sacrifice that their country may demand. They keep one object in view-the best interests. These are the millions who are back ing the president-who are lined up, solidly behind the government. These are the millions who have said Away with party politics until the end of the world war;"
 The other step exhibited equal sense and patriotism. The president, know ing that the nation was to have large part in the greatest war in which it ever participated, realized how impor- tant 1t was that he counsel with those who could best aid him and the coun- try.
 Where, under the circumstances, should he go but to those whose pro fession had fitted them for counsel men who from early manhood had studied military science and familiar ized themselves with all of the details of war, and who had been careful stu dents of the present gigantic struggle. There is where MT. Wilson went for advice, to the best informed men of the army and navy, and a few real states men whose Americanism always has been above reproach, whose love of country and ability had given them their foremost rank.
 The assistance he sought was found.
 Since then the nation has broken all former records in preparing for war. There has been energy, good judgment and speed in every movement for prep aration that has been made, and no movement required has been lacking, except when delayed legislative action was in the way.
 But for these two steps MT. Wilson might have proved the poorest of all our war presidents. They were steps that had to be made. The nation may well be glad that the president was broad, wise and patriotic enough to take them when he did, and to cut of a retreat-EXchange

] LOOKED LIKE INVERTED RAIN
Bullets From Machine Guns Gave odd Impression to Aviator at Whom
 They Were Aimed.

It will be easily understood, writes MT. c. G. Grey in "Tales of the Fly ing Service" that before a bullet that has been shot straight upward beginA to fall there must be a point where 1t stands dead still, and that for the last part of its upward path 1t travels very slowly. One officer of my acquaint- ance told me, after some months of war, that his most curious experience was when once, and once only, he dis covered the exact extreme range point.
 He was flying along quite peacefully on bright sunny morning at an alti- tude of little over 5000 feet, without worrying about anything, when sudden ly he saw something bright dart past the side of the machine. He began to look about him and saw, shade be- low him and a trif1e to one side, a whole stream of little bright things gilt tering in the sun.
 Then he realized that he had just struck level that happened to be the extreme vertical range of a machine gun that was making uncommonly good shooting. Other bullets from rifles and other machine guns also flashed into view as he flew along, and when his eyes caught the right focus he could follow the slow, topmost part of their movement for a considerable distance. "It looked" he said, "just as If 1t were raining upward" and the phenomenon was so novel that he quite forgot for a time that the "raindrops' indicated that he was unpopular with someone below.-Youth's Companion.

DENVER WOMAN
 GAINS 15 POUNDS
Tried Many Different Medicines and Kept Getting Worse
 All the Time.
TOOK STEP.FATHER'S ADVICE
My Improvement Is the Talk of My Neighborhood," Says Mrs.
 Galloway.

'T.have gained fifteen pounds by talk ing tanlac and my improvement is the talk of the neighborhood," said Mrs. J. R. Galloway, wife of one of the most popular conductors on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, who resides at 2325 West Thirty-third avenue, Den yer.
 ''For three years," she continued, q suffered so from nervousness and ca- tarrh of the head that I couldn't get more than two or three hours sleep a night. My head was stopped up all the time, my mouth was dry and hot and had a continual dripping of mu- cous back into my throat. My stom- ach became affected and couldn't di- gest what ate. I had the most dread full headaches imaginable and while I tried a number of different medicines kept getting worse.
 My stepfather in Lima, Ohio, told me about Tanlac doing him so much good and advised me to try 1t and I'm certainly glad I took his advice, for three bottles have about made a new woman out of me. I have not had a headache since started taking Tanlac and the catarrh is so much better that hardly notice it any more. My stom- ach is in splendid condition now and I can eat and digest anything want and am feeling just about as strong and well as I ever did. I have im- proved so much that my friends are all talking about 1t, and several of them are now taking it."
 There is a Tanlac dealer in your town.-Adv.

Land Banks at Work.

With the federal land banks just get ting under way, farmers have applied for loans amounting to more than $10,- 100000 and a considerable part of that sum has already been allowed.
 In these days of big figures this fact, though recorded in the press, seems to have attracted little atten- ton, but the eagerness of the farmers to take advantage of the land bank system is highly significant thing. It means that the country is to have bet ter farming and better conditions on the farm.
 It means a better food supply in a day when abundant food is vital mat ter and 1t means emancipation of a considerable part of the country from a system which kept the farmer tied fast to the usurer year after year.

Such Is Life

George" she said, "am I really and truly your little popsy wopsy?'
 '1The sweetest peachy weachy in ex- istence," declared George.
 And you've never, never loved an- other girl?'
 "There isn't another girl in the world worth thought, sweet"
 What makes you love me so, George?"
 "Just because I can't help it, preciousest."
 "Am an angel, GeorgeT
 "An elf, petsie. The daintiest little fairy that ever drew breath"
 "Oh, my true knightT she sighed. ] Good night. Good night.'' And five minutes later the daintiest little fairy that ever drew breath was snapping mas head off because the bread and cheese and pickled onions were not laid out for supper; whilst the true knight was whispering sweet nothings to the golden-haired barmaid at the Fan and Feathers, and asking her if she had a fancy to go to the pictures next Friday.-Londo Tit Bits.

The First Duty.

The United States has no intention of starving the neutrals or Europe. But it has every intention not to feed Germany through its neutral neigh bors. Nor can anyone except friend of the German government condemn President Wilson for shutting the gates, through which our foodstuffs have been getting to our enemy. Ger many will quit before it will starve. To hasten the day when Germany can no longer live on what 1t has is to save the blood of our young men. Have we any clearer duty than that?-Toledo Blade.
