! In order to show their sympathy with
the actual canvassers, every member of

Among those who actually got soaked
to the skin, so they could experience

were G. G. Chapman, state chairman; /;
Henry Z. Reed, state manager; Rufus
Z. Holman, manager of the city cam
paign; A. q. Black, advertising manager
Orton E. Goodwin, manager of the
Press Bureau, and Victor ]. McCone,
manager of the speakers s bureau.
The entire staff, although they have
neglected private business entirely for
the campaign, resolved they could get
wet into the bargain.
Their action put renewed impetus in
to the Portland campaign.
Despite the inclement weather. cam
paign headquarters at Portland reports
that really remarkable showing has
been made and that with the final days
of the campaign yet to come they are
determined that Oregon shall have her
100000 members of the Red Cross.
IF you don't say yes, and produce
your dollar, when the solicitor for the
Red Cross calls, there are only two
other answers you can give as an ex-

duty the nation requires of us, and to
call to duty our Red Cross workers are
nobly responding.
I'm only few instances have selfish
women thrust their sisters out into the
rain. 1t is significant that these insults
to workers were almost entirely from
wealthy homes.
"The women of leisure who sends her
maid to the door to tell dripping work

steader of our midst. Not being occupied
but two days of the week in carrying

Mr.. Blodgett, Mr.. Huskey and his
small son, Paul, visited at the Walton
ranch last Sunday. Though only nine
years old, Paul was able to make the
trip Of miles with the men without
any apparent fatigue, undoubtedly the
mountain climate plays an important
part as everyone seems to have greater
endurance here than in the valley.
Miss Lines, Mr.. Geisendorfer' niece
made only a short stay with us. She
was called out to attend her mother who
had slipped and broken her leg. Before
going she had as her guest for the week
end our teacher, Miss Bouck. On Sun
day they made a trip to Rainbow Falls
most beautiful place to tourists in
the summer time, but not lacking in at
traction in the winter. They made the
trip in three hours and declared they
enjoyed it immensely, but not as well
as the dinner that followed on their
arrival as Mr.. Geisendorfer is quite a
cook.
About two weeks ago a special school
meeting was called to change the tax
roll Cor budgetO from expression in
mills to dollars and cents. A special tax
was also levied as the district has been
short of school money. The people voted
TO pay Mr.. Mann for lumber for our
new school house which he donated last
year. They also voted to pay w. A..
MacKinnon for clearing the school
grounds. Our school attendance has not
been very regular this last week on ac-
count of such bad colds among the pu
pills. Though the colds don't seem dan,
gerous they are very persistent in stay
ing with one, even when not welcome.
We expect another vacation at Xmas
time as Miss Bouck wishes to spend the
holidays in the valley. Not that we care
but we wish she d stay here.
Special mention should be given Mr..
