Y. M. c.. A. Did at the Front

TOO Fat to Fight" which exempli-
fed the wonderful tasks done by the
Y. NJ. c.. A. and other great war work
organizations was shown at the Dit
mas theatre last night. n besides
being an instructive and educational
film, II was a comedy throughout.
This picture brought home to the
people here in America the many
sacrifices and unselfish deeds perform
ed by those men, who dropped their
positions n entered the service of
the United States In the capacity of a
Y. NJ. c. A, *. of c.. or Jewish We'll
fare Board secretary.
One of the features OF the picture
was that over there on the battle
fields of Europe there is no class dis
tinction, that there are no Protestants,
Catholics or Jews, IL is all one big
American family, and IL is due to the
accomplishments OF these secretaries
that such a thing has been made pos
sible.
The story is about a certain person
who in social life is Frank Mcintyre,
but who is the, picture takes the name
OF Norman Dalrymple and is more
popularity known as "Dimples." The
var spreads TO America and he tries
TO enlist, but is rejected because he
is too fat to fight" his weight being
2S5 pounds. II was suggested TO him

a Y. NJ. c. A. secretary and after much
effotr he is finally accepted and goes
there" as a big fat brother Of
the boys In the trenches. The scene
then turns to devastated France and
shows Dimples working TO keep the
boys in good spirits n assisting them
in every way possible. Finally he gets
into action and not TO be daunted
he goes over the top n rescues a
major who has been shot down by a
Hun bullet, but in doing this he was
also wounded severely and as a re
suit OF the wound lost his right leg.
He was then sent to a base hospital
and honored with the distinguished
American Service Cross for conspie-
Gus ~gallantry in action. Dimples'
final victory comes when he wins the

CANNED GIADNESS

The latest wrinkle in food stuffs
is boiled cabbage In cans. All you
have to do is heat the can in hot
water, open It and forget life's trials

a long-felt want. We are plebean
enough to love boiled cabbage, and
have always deplored the fact that

scheme to graft the cabbage with
heliotrope and violet, but this new
canned article may solve the prob

PROPAGANDA OF CLASS HATRED

Who are the Bourgeoisie? Who
are the Proletoriat? The leaders or
ahe latter who talk about the former
say the bourgeois class are worse
than animals.
The !. VI. w. would have you be-
iieye that II you are not Bolshevik
one OF the Proletoriat, you are a
member OF the hated Bourgeoisie.
l. w. W.-ism and bolsheyism are
built on generations Of class hatred.
The Non-Partisan league advocates
class rule by the farmer and common
ownership OF everything but farms
II calls private industry the beasts
that prey" off the farmer.
Originally the Bourgeoisie were
despised by the aristocracy and the
nobility, as the traders and middle
class.
Now the great homecoming mid
die class are the bulwark OF good
government and free institutions.
To poison the minds OF working
people against those who have ac-
quired property, Socialism has now
made war against this middle class
and they use the word Bourgeoise
as a hateful term.
The great strong. home-owning
home-loylng middle class are made
the target OF class hatred by I. w.
W-ism.
Socialists. anarchists, bolshevists
extremists OF all classes would ex-
terminate the bourgeousie as unde.
sirabie.
They teach that successful indus
tries will make the rich richer, and
will enslave the workers. so indus
tries must be destroyed.

gram OF revolution on these lines,

tical in construction and indicate
that an organized effort is being
made by the women to have Oregon
ratify the national amendment at
the earliest possible date.

AN ERA OF BUREAUCRACY

BY a continuous propaganda OF
socialism and paternalism, the de-
velopment of the west and Alaska
has been held up for the past ten
years.
Well-meaning Pinchotism and
long-winded La Follettism have
blocked needed legislation to allow
the opening up of natural resources.
The coal, oil and mineral lands
the forests and wasting WATERPROOF
ers, were all to be placed under
government stewardship for future
generations.
These theories were never en-
dorsed by the American people
They emanated from bureancrats
and department dictation.
In exploiting the west for conser-
vation policies, the east had nothing
to lose. 1t tied up cheap water pow
er to save its control OF industries.
Much needed development has been
blocked in many ways.
The raw materials of the west,
grain, wool, hides, lumber and min
erals are shipped east to be manu-
factured and sent back to be sold.
The west pays freight both ways
while It's enormous supplies of white
coal are unused and its natural re-
sources remain untouched.
At last Congress is to act The
giant forces now wasting are to be
harnessed and the marvellous indus.
trial growth OF the west is to begin.

There are some of the members
in each house of the Oregon legisla-
ture who live long distance from

for financial reasons, to attend Q
special session of the legislature
without mileage and per diem. They

quest that you call special session

LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS
URGE EXTRA SESSION

Representative S. A. Hughes OF
Marion county, does not consider ac-
ton on the woman's suffrage amend
ment, at this time of sufficient inn
portance to warrant special ses-
sion OF the legislature, but never
theless he says he would be willing
to attend without cost to the state
in the event such session is called.
Referring to the advisability OF
calling a special session of the Ore
gon legislature to ratify the national
woman's suffrage act passed by con-
gress, | will say that am willing to
attend the session without cost to
the state, but as the women of Ore
gon have nothing to gain ] do not
consider it of sufficient importance
to ask you to call a session at the
expense Of the state, neither do
think the members should be asked
to leave their business and sacrifice
their time and money in matter OF

Representative Hughes.

lature should not attempt to enact
any new legislation, but should rem
edy any defect that, in the opinion
of the attorney-general, exists In

that he is in favor Of special ses-
