MONEY WELL SPENT

| Tweof the boys who recently returned
from camps in the East bring with them
| tributes to the work Of the Red Gross, the
IY. M. C. A.. the X. of c., the jewish Welfare
Board and others of the war Service organi-
cations. 1t will do those who gave literally
| to these organizations good to know that
the boys praise them highly.
As one of them put it: "Evcry cent
given to any of these organizations was the
best money any fellow ever spent"
To illustrate what the Red Cross meant
to these boys recently this one incident may
be recorded; as told by LaRue Blackaby
81 was one of eight fellows who left
Camp Taylor for Oregon, and six of the
party, thru a mistake in the office had re-
ceived only $1.05 each for travelling expen-
ses, from Louisville, Kentucky, to Eugene,
Ore Rather than wait for an uncertain
time until the mistake could be corrected
they came on.
"At Chicago, and emoute to that city,
the Red Cross canteens fed us all; and at
Chicago after giving us a meal they gave us
tickets to Grand Opera and 60 Vaudeville
performances. Then when we left Chicago
the boys who were short of funds were
given lunches for the train and these togeth-
er with meals served by other cantcens
served to carry them across the continent
'If it had not been for the Red Cross
these fellows would have been 'out of
luck"
Sam Green who returned from Camp
Devens, Massachusetts, tells of similar eN-
periences he witnessed crossing the CONT
nent, and also how while the boys are stand
ing in line for hours To receive their dis.
charge papers Red Cross workers iourneycd
out from Boston fed them, from The truck
loads of food brot out every day.
is "It is certainly great, " says Mr.. Green,
"the way in which the people nave treated
the men in uniform"
Those who aided in any way in this
expression of help for the soldier boys has
cause for pride and joy. Those who did not
well, they have missed something in their
lives that they can never secure We feel
sorry for them.

THEY ARE COMING HOME

Two years ago the sight of an Ameri-
can army uniform in nearly every small
town in America would have attracted n
mob. 1t would have been found, perhaps,
that the man wearing it was the son of q
"home town family" who had probably
joined the army over parental objections.
and all that sort of thing. Today conditions
have changed.
The sight of a uniform is common. The
streets of Ontario have during the past week
been filed with men and boys in uniform.
And those boys donned that garb TO serve o
great cause They deserve the considera-
tion of the people. But, what has been done
to assure these boys that they will find EN-.
ployment now2
We have heard great deal of talk
about what we must do for the soldier BOYS
all of which is well and good, but nothing
has been done. Our acts are not squarine
with our words.
OF course in this section, at this time
it is hard to find places for those who need
them, but a job six months from now will
not take the khaki clad boys thru the win

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

That 1919 should indeed be happy
now vear To practically every American
blest with good health is possible There cN'
lists every reason for looking forward WIFI
nIeasnrable anticipation to what is to come
within the next - months. Never has there
been greater cause for such anticipation.
In every community families will be
looking forward with pleasure for the re-
nrn of bows who. event over there to do
their part i'm the great struggle for freedom
To them the year will be blessed one mark
ING the rcmiting.of severed ties.
II may well Be happy one for those
whose sons will not come back. Parents,
particularlv of those who died on foreign
fields should be proud of their supreme sac
rifice. They gave far greater gifts than
those who are perhaps more loudly ac'
claimed While they rejoice with the moth
ers and fathers of returned soldiers and long
for their loved ones, may their pride in their
son. and the knowledge that he died serving
n cause. than which no more righteous one
ere primed the rifles of noble army, nor
on which Justice never breathed blessing
more divine assuage than grief.
The coming year will try thoroughly
the genius of the American people to mas
ter the difficult problems of reconstruction.
There will be many changes i'll all the as
poets and activities of life. This is already
presaged in discussions on every hand.
The war has taught distinct lesson
in civil government. 1t has demonstrated
that the old idea of antagonism of interest
is harmful to the promotion OF the best re-
suits II has shown that by community of
interests the welfare of the nation can best
be guarded. That with labor and capital
working together on definite program
there is no task too great for the ability OF
Americans to perform.
What the lesson has taught is good for
war conditions will be accepted as good, to
a large degree, at least, for peace. just how
far the change is social thot will go is ques-
ton. There will be no curbing of individual
initiative, for that was unnecessary during
war times. But there will be an imposition
of regulation, in some form upon great I'M
dustries so as to promote social justice.
There is no denying that the American
people are not ready to adopt government
ownership of all utilities. The management

state socialism as the fixed policy OF the
government.

1.-THE LAWS DELAYS"

The question which is forever present
ing itself for solution: "How Nav Justice
Be Expediated, I" is again before the bar of
the state for consideration.
Far be il for mere layman 10 discuss
with authority the intangible machinery of
the bench and bar, hut it seems that anyone
may do so since the members of the profess
ION themselves, apparently are at sea in
their efforts to find a remedy.
Judge Belt of Hood River, IN letter
TO the Oregonian suggests that large por-
tion Of the delays are due to the present
method of selecting juries, which permit the
lawyers to use this method to display their
wit, and serves no other purpose He would
have the prospective Jurors questioned bv
Court, and have him decide as 10 their fit
ness.
OF course the lawyers will object 10
that, some times the Judge is as preiudiced
|as the attorney, and is prone, at times to
have preconceived notions as to the guilt or
innocence of defendants.
Then the State Bar association has
program which calls for reforms in the SIN
preme Court by adding additional memlIol's
20 the Supreme bench, To assist the now over
burdened members. The State Bar rejected
the proposal 10 call into service of the Srl-
preme Court thgee Circuit Judges at each
term. H
All these suggestions of the lawyer mn
have to do with cases that have finally
reached the couits for adjustment This
only touches the outside of the claws de
lays" 1t is perhaps true that not half rs
much delay is experienced after a ease final
ly gets determined as in getting il past It's
first trial And this fault does not lie with
the courts. as a rule, tho in some cases ii
might.
In every lawyers office in the land
there are many cases pending from one term
of court TO another, which have been post
poned for multitude of reasons, many OF
which originate with the representatives of
contending parties. Inability to get wit
nesses, the intervention of more important
cases, so far as different attorneys are con
cerned, these and other reasons serve TO de-
lay litigation and the enactment of justice
so far as the public is concerned.

You can use the movies to test your

without fear of harlning the delicate
mechanism of your eyes.
But If you see well-operated pic

movies, says DR.. G. A. Balm, writing
on the annals of ophthalmology.
There is no surer way to inform
yourself of optical defects. The nor
NAL eye accommodates itself readily
TO the fitting films of high grade,
while the subnormal eye makes its
complaint very apparent after steady
focusing upon pictures.
"Persons with no defect Of sight
mechanism should be able to enjoy at
the very least four sittings of from
one and one-half to two hours dura-

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the CROP
of 1913 as a basis of comparison
There was shortage of 176,000,C00
bushels, or 53.3 per cent The potato
crop was only within one-third of nor.
NAL The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit of $40 per cent Her meat
herds in the early fall showed a short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are few of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
TO the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In the war.
