VICTORY BOYS AND GIRLS.

The big drive for the United War
Work activities will begin November
18th, Do not think that the pros
poets for peace make this drive un-
necessary. If the fighting should
stop, it will be months before the
boys can be discharged During that
time there will be more need, If any
difference, than now for the work of
the United War Work organizations.
Every boy and every girl will want
to share in the work. The plan is to
secure one million boys who will
pledge themselves to earn and give"
at least $500 each to this work. The
girls will do all they can. Many of
the boys and girls will be able to give
more than $500, but many more
cannot do that much Any amount
will be accepted, and every contribu-
tor will be enrolled as member,
On account of the influenza public
meetings can not be held and per-
sonal solicitation can not be made
We want every patriotic boy and
girl to notify his or her teacher or
I the county chairman, by mail or
telephone, how much he or she will
p edge. The money may be paid in
three payments, December 2, 1918,
January Is, 1919, and March l.
1919, or at such other dates as ma,
be convenient before March /, 1919
This gives you time in which to earn
thu money. Now, we hope that on
November II, without fail, you will
notify your teacher or the county
chairman: We want to see which
organization makes the best showing.
Boys, you will need to look out, for
have heard some of the girls are
going to see that the Victory Girls
"go over the top" first.
To the older people l wish to say:
Do all you can to encourage and
help the boys and girls in this drive.
See that every boy and girl in your
neighborhood knows about it. If
anything is not understood, write or
telephone the county chairman. In
the bright days coming after the war
is over, when the boys come home,
the boys and girls who wear the
Victory buttons will be proud of
them and the part they took in this
drive. And the soldier boys will be
pleased to look into the faces of the
boys and girls who wear the Honor
Badge. Do not let any boy or girl in
your community fail to prove him
self or herself 100 per cent Ameri-
can.
KEEP THE HUT FIRES BURNING.

OREGON FUEL NEWS.

Portland, Nov 4.-To use wood
and save coal wherever possible be-
becomes still more urgent in the face
of an estimated coal shortage of
/ 100000 tons of coal for winter.
The war is not over, and in the face
of decreased production due to
Spanish influenza and other causes,
and the vast war time fuel needs,
fuel conservation is more necessary
than ever
Country communities are in pos
ition to help greatly coal conserva-
tion by burning wood. 1t is esti-
mated that farmers now use $1,000
600 cords of fuel wood annually.
All farms should use it during the
war, especially in the Northwest
| where it is so plentiful.
| A call has been made upon the
coal mines of the Northwest to
supply South America with fuel
which has thus far been exported
lIOul IHc EdSleIu lllHcS. u6 EdSL-
ern mines have been prohibited from
exporting any more coal, which will
be diverted to other purposes where
it is SO badly needed.
The daylight saving plan saved
1,250,000 tons of coal to the nation,
according to the U. S. fuel admins
tration. This saving has been
mainly in Eastern cities. No exact
figures are available for Oregon, but
the amount saved is not noticeable.
One and one-half cords of Douglas
fir wood has the same heating value
as one ton of coal. In general, two
pounds of wood equals one pound Of
coal in heat units.
Keep the home warm but don't
forget that ventilation is essential.
Pure air will heat much quicker than
foul air.
Make use Of the dampers in regu-
lating the furnace.

What Could An Army Do Without
The Red Cross?

What could an army do with
out the Red Crosse" asks Sergeant
Ronald Kingsley, late OF the 58th
Canadian Infantry, who is a vet
eran of the French front perman-
emily discharged because of injnr-
les received in battle.
Sergeant Kingsley answers his
own question.
l think that probably the great
est tribute that can be paid to the
Red Cross is the confidence of the
wounded man. He feels that no
matter how badly wounded he may
be, if once he gets to the Red Cross
man his life is safe.
witnessed an incident during
the battle of the Somme which !
shall never forget. A Red Cross Of
ficer and four stretche- bearers
came to the support trenches for
some wounded men. The officer
raised a Red Cross flag in plain
view of the Germans and with his
men began to dress the wounds and
finally to put the soldiers on stretch
ers. AS they walked off the Ger
mans deliberately fired on the par
ty and the officer went down. He
got up and started again, but was
hit a second time and did not get
up.
Almost at the same time we
heard a salvo of German three-inch
shells, which wounded all the
stretcher bearers and the wounded
soldiers received new wounds. Yet
in spite OF this, another Red Cross
party that same dav went out and
brought in wounded men. Need
one say anything more? | think
not. "
The work of the Red Cross on
the battlefield goes on night and
day. Invariably the men and the
ambulances are in range of enemy
guns. Devotion to duty character
ICES the Red Cross workers and the
American boys are stimulated by
this assurance.

FavOrs Firing Squad.

Representative w Frank James
of Michigan inspected the training
of soldiers at Camp Meade, Pa, a
few days ago and addressed a large
gathering of the men at the y. M.
c. A o., declared the government
ought to deal more severely with
spies. He said if a deserter from
the army gets 20 years in prison a
spy ought to have to face a firing
squad. Instead, he declared, some
spies have been given short prison
terms for conspiracy to defeat the
war plans of the government.
When | read of spies going
around the country, being caught
red handed in every kind of a dam
nable deed, and see that their pun
ishment is to be sentenced to three
meals a day and a bed to sleep in,
l cannot help but wish that we
would do the same thing with spies
that George Washington would
have done"
The speaker declared that he is
for any legislation which will ex-
pedite winning of the war. Ra-
tious" for civilians will be an &C
ceptable thing for him if this means
anything 70 the success of war
winning said Representative James.
The work of wedding out of the
army aliens who might prove dam
gerous, if not undesirable, has be-
gun at Camp Meade. Nine soldiers
have already been discharged from
the service and are in Jail at Balti-
more waiting to be informed. Two
are Germans and seven Austrians.
1t is said that probably more alters
will be discharged soor.
