LIBERTY LOAN SLACKERS
ARE VERY APT TO FACE
OFFICIAL INVESTIGATED

On each of the preceding Liberty
Loan bond issues there have been no
torious and persistent slackers in
every community. These slackers are
among men who are plenty able to do
their share in financing the war game.
The public safety commission of the
various states have decided that every
man must do what he is able to and
should do in supporting the war. At
a recent meeting Of the Minnesota
Commission Order No. "A was pro-
mulgated which provides a manner in
which an official inquiry may be made
relative to these slackers The order
follows:
1.-THE County Director of each coun-
ty in the state, hereinafter called the
agent is appointed the agent of the

having in charge the promoting or
sale Of any pending issues of Liberty
Loan bonds, that it is desirable or
necessary to make investigation as to

son, a resident of the county, to the
end that the amount of his proper sub
scription to such bonds may be deter
mined, the agent may require such
person, and any witness, to appear
before him for examination at any
convenient plac Elm such county, may
adjourn the hearings from time to
time and from place to place in said
county, may administer oaths, may

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
RAISE MONEY TO PAY FOR
CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS

Wednesday evening of last week the
members of the Congregational church
gathered for their annual Harvest
Thanksgiving supper which was serv.
ed in the newly completed basement OF
the church.. Supper was laid for over
200 and altogether nearly $50 were
served. After the supper Rev. Sparkes
called attention to the fact that the
congregation we're meeting for the
first time in the newly completed base
ment and explained how the increased
attendance in the Sunday school had
made these improvements absolutely
necessary. He went on to tell how 1t
had also been necessary to install two
new furnaces in order to insure the
comfort of the people who worshiped
in the church and that the trustees had
ais omade other improvements for the
comfort and convenience of the peo-
pie. He stated that the work had cost
over $500 and the question now before
the meeting was sswho should foot the
bill 2" He reminded the gathering
that it. was the practice of the church
to pay for it's own upkeep and not to
ask other people to pay for their re,
ligion. He therefore asked that the
necessary sum be given for this pur-
pose. Donations came thick and fast
and in a few minutes nearly 5000 was
raised, the largest donation being $50
and the smallest 81. The business
like way of handling the matter COM
mended itself to the members of the
church and congregation and as sew
eral members were not present there
is little doubt but that the balance
will be subscribed in a few days. Tn
improvements consist Of finishing up
the unfinished part of the church base
ment, building new chimney, new
furnace room, and two new furnaces.
The ladies society also spent more
than $50 on new cupboards Tor the
kitchen. The result OF this work
makes the church basement a most
pleasant place for the primary depart
ment of the Sunday school and fol-
church gatherings and also gives the
church an efficient system of heating
The furnaces were supplied by the
Wedge Hardware Co.; the contract
for remodeling and interior work was
let to Mr.. Joseph Heraly. The Pastor
of the church expresses himself as
highly gratifed with the ready re-
Spouse to his appeal for the money for
this work and for the splendid way in
which the people have rallied around
him during the two years he has been
here. The supper was planned and
solicited by the Ladies Society under
the leadership of Mr.. L. j. Irish and
the young ladies society under the
leadership of Mrs. Victor Conklin.--

DIR. OSTEN-SACKEN
THRILLS AUDIENCE
e0MING FROM THE NOBILITY
HE KNOWS GERMANY FROM
THE INSIDE.
GREW UP In FATHERLAND
SPLENDID SINGING FURNISHED
BY CHOIR FROM HOME
SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

When Mayor A. J. DuBeau arose te
introduce DR.. Fritz Won der Osten.
Sacken at the Junior High Schoo
auditorium Tuesday evening the large
auditorium was packed damned in
fact.
Preceding and after the address the
splendid chorus from the Home School
for Girls sang patriotic selections
splendidly.
DR.. Won der Osten-Sacken was born
and educated in Germany. He comes
from the nobility, his family being one
Of the oldest in the Fatherland. He
kas brother serving as General and
. cousin as Colonel in the Prussian
&Emy. To offset this three of DR.,
0sten-Sacken's sons are serving with
TIE colors of Uncle Sam.
DR.. Osten-Sacken says that he came
- America at the age of 25 because
II the class distinctions existing be
tween the rich and poor. He has de-
lvered over 100 lectures condemnipg
Germany since Uncle Sam entered the
var. Contrary to the belief and
statements in some quarters the
1sctor is not being paid for his ser
Wees.
{ He stated that the great trouble
With many of the Germans in America
IS the present time was that they
confused the Germany of 40 years ago
With the Germany of today. He spent
some time in his native land shortly
before war was declared, and claimed
Nat he knew conditions as they ex-
hted at present. From the manner in
which he literally ripped the hide off
lie Kaiser and his bunch his audience
readily agreed with him. He insisted
nat a man could not be 95 per cent
american and the balance German.
Ue was either wholly American or
els che was pro- German.
~ Dir. Osten-Sacken explained the Sc
1ective draft laws of the United States
moving the vast difference between
Z NE system in vogue and the conscrip-
ION In vogue in Germany. He insited
nat he was travelling about the coun-
~ as friend of the German people,
- help them. He explained how all
he laws of Germany must be made
subservient to the wishes OF the
Kaiser.
Some of his statements may have
appeared radical but he challenged
ecntradiction as to their veracity and
: willing to pay 500 to any one fur
nishing proof that they are not true
HE closed his splendid address OF
Yearly two hours with a magnicier.,

sr1arast government that has given
Is the opportunity to achieve, shall

Machine Gun Company
Organized Last Night

A machine gun company, to become
part of the Oregon national guard was
organized in Salem last evening at the
armory with the election of the follow
ing officers: Leroy Hewlett, captain;
L. R. M. Pierce, first lieutenant; George
A. Schultz, second lieutenant.
The minimum for the organization of
machine gun company of the Oregon
national guard is SO men and of this
number 43 enrolled at the meeting last
evening, and to secure the number re-
quired, a meeting has been called for
next Friday evening.
The Salem machine gun company will
be the only one in the new regiment
of Oregon national guard to be organ
lied in Oregon. AS the Oregon national
guard companies may be federalized at
any time and called into service, it is
probable that the machine gun company
organized last evening will soon re-
ceive its guns and equipment from the
federal government. A large percent
age of the men who enrolled last even
ing are men who have seen military
service.

Harley o. White returns from a
business trip to Portland with the news
that all kinds of mill feeds will be
scarce and high this fall unless the
government changes its present plan
of sending wheat to the east to be man
ufactured into flour. If the northwest
ern mills were given permission to
grind wheat harvested in the north
west feeds~would be plentiful, he said.
An effort is being made to secure from
the government permission for the
northwestern mills to grind the wheat
instead Of the present plan of sending
it all east. Local mills in the valley,
Mr.. White said, can scarcely supply one
tenth of the mill feeds required. What
the northwest wants is that the mills
in this section of the west be permit
ed to grind the wheat, instead of the
present practice of shipping wheat east
and giving the business to the eastern
mills.
