OREGON MOTHERS
FACING BIG TASK

Dr. Louise Richter will be a big
factor in helping the women of Hepp-
ner in the fight against the social
evil in Oregon when she speaks to
ne women and girls of the city on
Saturday at 500 p. N. in High
School Auditorium.
There are now very few persons
In Oregon who do not know of the
splendid health record Of this state.
I'm the first million draftees, while
the average state sent thirty vener-
eally diseased men per thousand into
lie service and the state with the
highest percentage sent eighty-nine
per thousand, Oregon sent less than
six per thousand
This wonderful record has been
made possible by the splendid CO.
1peraHon OF the people CT Oregon
during the past seven years in edu-
cational propaganda for clecn young
manhood and womanhood.
There is no fact connected with
the war of which Oregonians may
feel more justly proud than of this
record of her manhood and of the
foresight that made such a result
possible.
But with our pride comes a great
sense OF dnty-the duty to keep
Oregon in the proud position she
holds-to keep her standing as a
beacon to the rest of the world in it's
struggle for clean living.
The Federal Government and
other states are now realizing the
terrible drain upon economic re-
sources. health and morals resulting
from the social evil and are taking
up the fight against its ravages.
Oregon must continue to show them
the way and it is upon the mothers
of the state that this duty principally
falls.
We must, if We are to continue
the fight effectively, have an edu-
Gated parenthood to give to the
young the information that every
boy and girl should have. One
generation Of parents knowing their
duty and having the confidence of
their children would do much to
eliminate the red plague from our
state.
1t is hoped that every mother and
every woman interested in under
standing herself or her children will
hear DR.. Richter while she is here.
DR.. Richter is a physician with
twenty-three years practise. She
has been specially prepared by the
War Department to bring her mes
sage to women and girls ard she
speaks under the auspices if the
Oregon Social Hygiene Society.
There will be no admission charge
to the lecture and no collection will
be taken.

METHODIST ORGANIzh-
TON TO HELP 5TH LOAN

Portland, Ore, March 24-Tne
services of the entire Methodist
centenary organization, together
with 1900 Methodist pastors and
$4,000 Methodist minute men, were
pledged to the government to put
over the Victory Liberty loan at a
session of the National centenary
committee which has just ended at
Columbus, O., according to a state
ment here by DR.. Charles S. Bowen.
executive secretary for the north
west for the s1O5, 100000 centenary
movement, who with his associate,
DR.. A. L. Howarth, returned from
Columbus today
Not to put any obstacle in the way
OF the government, the Methodist
intensive financial drive was post
poned until May 1925, in order to
give precedence to the Victory loan.
The Methodists also placed them
selves on record against any con-
fiicting conventions during the loan
drive
Wherever regular services or
special centenary meetings are held
in local communities. opportunity is
10 be given to the lean committee
to present the loan campaign and to
sell bonds" said DR.. Bowen.
THE centenary publicity depart
ment is to get behind the Liberty
loan tooth and nail
THE Methodist press is to strain
every effort to promote the loan.
A special edition of Missiles, the
organ of the Methodist five-minute
men, is to be issued at once and the
minute mems services are rendered
to the government.
Throughout the northwest, we
shall bend every effort to make the
Victory loan campaign ours just as
much as If it were the Methodist
centenary drive.
Every area secretary from the
20 areas of the centenary were
present. There was unanimous ap-
proval of the plan.
Christianity and Methodism are
heartily behind the loan. Our
churches are open for presentation
of the loan. Our organization is
ready to be used for the loan.
Il suppose this is the first time
any great religious movement has
been turned over bodily to the gov
ernment.
This means that 100000
Methodists will get behind the
Victory loan even with greater en-
thusiasm than they might have
originally planned.
Secretary Glass was advised at
once of the action of the Methodist

BOOST FOR HIS TOWN
Former Heppner Resident, Now Liv.
ing at KelsO, Wash, Tells About
His Present Location.
Gazette-Times, Heppner.
Dear Friends.-

A few lines to let you hear from
me. Just at this time the flowers are
beginning to bloom and we are re-
minded that spring has arrived and
the tiller of the soil is beginning to
get busy. Already many gardens are
made and the grass is from two to
six inches high.
Kelso is a fourishing little town
Of about 1000 population. Located
here are three saw mills, one box
factory and two shingle mills. The
Crescent Shingle Co. is putting up a
large mill this side of the river
which they expect to have completed
in about three months. Besides the
city has two banks, two hotels, three
garages, four dry goods stores, seven
groceries, two hardware stores, two
second hand stores, two so-called 15-
cent stores, two drug stores, two
butcher shops and five churches.
The railroad here is double tracked
and is used by three different COM
panies and we have twelve passenger
trains per day.
Many numbering camps are located
near this city and numbering is car
ried on here extensively. Wages run
from $3.50 to $500 per day. The
country is also we'll adapted to
dairying. Some bottom land lying
between Kelso and the Columbia is
being diked and will become very
valuable, and while being located in
the midst of these favorable sur
roundings, Kelso is also the home of
the smelt fishing industry and great
quantities of these fish are marketed
from here. Two fishermen went out
the other day and after 40 minutes
work they caught 80 boxes of smelt,
making 1900 pounds of fish. !
know this sounds rather fishy but the
men are here to prove my statement,
see them.

OELC0 LIGHT CONv[A-
ton GREAT SUCCESS
Local Dealer Returns FROM DAYTON.
Ohio, Where He Attended
Meeting.

Charles Vaughn, the local repre-
sentative for Delco- Light, the electric
light and power plant for farm
homes, has just returned froum Day
ton, Ohio, where he spent last week
attending the Third Annual Delco-
1taeht Convention. In speaking of
his convention experiences Mr..
Vaughn said:
There were nearly one thousand
Delco-Light men in attendance, which
made it the largest commercial con
vention ever held in Dayton And it
proved, too, to be the most enthu-
slastlc and successful convention in
the history of The Domestic En-
gineering Company, makers of Delco-
Light. The Dayton hotels were
crowded to the limit with the Delco-
Light men who came from all parts
of the United States and even from
most of the larger foreign countries
All meetings were held in Memorial
Hall which has a seating capacity of
about twenty-five hundred And
meals as well were served there for
the entire convention body.
"On the main fiocr of the eenven-
ton hall were exhibits prepared by
the different departments of the COM
pany. The engineering. sales, adver-
tlsing, foreign, service, treasHrers
and other departments all had COM
plete displays of the work they are
doing in the home organization.
In the basement OF the hall was
the necessary show. Here we're dis
played about five thousand electrical
appliances used in connection with
the Delco-Light plant Lighting
fixtures Of all kinds were shown in a
large room built and decorated
especially for that purpose In the
regular display booths over one hun
dred manufacturers were represented
and the articles shown included all
electrical Appliances to the farm
home. This part of the convention
in itself constituted the largest
electrical show ever given In Dayton
"R. H. Grant, general manager of
the Domestic Engineering Company,
opened the convention with an ad-
dress which radiated the enthusiasm
that was to characterize the cnnven-
tion from start to finish. The award
ing of prizes to winners of the various
sales contests of 1918 and Il trip
through the new Delco-Light factory
at Dayton made up the first days
program and this was followed by
two days Of close study of the prob
lens and plans of the organization
by the whole convention body On
the last day the delegates, one thous-
and strong, paraded through the
streets of Dayton. The parade was
followed by banquet at the Hotel
Miami, where the crowd WAS SO
large that it was overhowed from
the ball room to the grill. There
were talks by officials of the company
and by some Of the delegates. The
principal speaker of the evening was
Hon. James M. Cox. Governor of
Ohio

completed is remarkable, not merely
on account of its size, hut as evidence
OF the growth of the DeIcu-Light

reason for this growth lies not merely
in good business methods but more
in the fact that through
taking cheap, safe and reliable elec-
