HEREWITH ends the Sock
Fl Songs contest, to the keen re-
- - greet Of its originator. its
editor, the judges, and the SUNDAY Sun
staff generally-also, we like to think,
OF contestants who from beginning to
end have numbered more than 500.
There will be no book of the Sock
Songs. Since this page asked contest
ants for expressions as to the desir-
ability of a book, more than thirty
friendly contestants have expressed
themselves as eager not only TO own
copies but TO help the project in every
possible way.
We fully expected to publish the
look or secure 4 publisher for 1t. de-
voting net profits TO the Red Cross or
some other splendid war work. We
believa that in anything like normal
times it would have been a fine sue
cess. but the book, like the contest
itself, is an economic casualty.
Readers of THE SUNDAY Sun are
aware that almost without warning an
order of the War Industries Board
Curtailed our supply of white paper
ten days ago. thus compelling the i'm
mediate sacrifice of a wealth of sun
day features. Last weeks honorable
mentions, which were ready in type,
had to be omitted with the briefest eN-
PLANTATION. With this week the contest
Itself abruptly dies. The same general
paper famine has required the aban-
donnent Of the book project.
We cannot deny ourselves the pleas
ure of publishing the proposed dcdica-
ton by Edward Ten Brock Perine. II
Is one of the lest OF the astonishing
number Of genuine poems the contest
has evoked:
To you whose feet have marched for
liberty
And trod the blood drenched soil OF dis
tant lands,
We give these heartfelt songs. We who
with hands
or helpfulness and love the stitches cast
Know we'll our part. to strive increasingly
TIN every tangled skeln shall be uncurled
And Victory with Peace be knit We
sing.
Hearing the while faithful promise
ring:
When God helps all the workers for His
world
The s,neers shall be helped Of Him. not

tcstant. sing this knitters' holiday Ia

Among the limited number Of Amer
lean women who have been working al
war canteens, one Of the most prom.
inent is Mrs. William X, Vanderbilt
who has become quite noted for hel
activities in the canteen work in
France and Italy. 1t has been stated
that we have 100 American women
working at these canteens and the way
they work and the courage they show
and the long hours they endure when
it is necessary, made one Of the finest
tributes not only to American women
but to women all over the world, that
has ever been seen. The only trouble
we have with those women Is that they
are always trying to get up where they
can get shelled.
Mrs. Louis Lachmund, president Of

Miss Stuart to stop over in Salem, or
her way south, and give this lecture

YOUNG C|R[SDOI
USEFUL WORK IN
COUNTRY DISTRICT
Emergency Club Leader, W
c. Hoppes Gives Many
Encouraging Instances

While large number of the Salem
school children are doing their sharl
by going into the country with the
view Of helping to save the fruit crops
several young girls out in the rural dis
tricts are quietly helping to win the
war by doing the work that is nearest
them.
Travelling through the county in hi.
work as emergency club leader, w. G.
Hopes has noted several instance.
where the girls are doing remarkable
work.
For instance, three sisters, Ruth Bart
ruff, l3, Teresa Bartruff, IL, and Lit
tie Bartruff, 9, living six miles from
Salem on the Salem-Silverton road, are
each raising a pig, Poland Chinas, and
the three pigs will be shown at the
state fair this fall. The girls feed the
pigs, take care of them and handle the
work just es carefully as any boy in
the neighborhood.
Out in the field shocking hay, Haze
English was found few days ago by
Mr.. Hopes. She lives four miles west
of Silverton. Besides making a full
hand in the field, Miss Hazel who u
IL years old, is secretary Of the In.
dustrial club Of Bethany. She is also
raising brood Of ducks to be shown al
the state fair. Then when there il
nothing else to do she cares for her
own garden and between acts, attends
to the baby when her mother is busy.
Daisy Collins, age 12, lives on the
river road about 10 miles north OF
