for me, but she always remembers the

and have seen her parents, bat OF
course they don't know the way We
met
Do you think she is right in worry
ing over such tribe? 5. y
It isn't q tribe when a sensitive
girl falls below her own standards
Of conduct. and sac naturally feels
ashamed OF it for long time after

pltshsd by prolonged broodin6 over
mistakes, and l think your friend
should now happily accept the fact
OF the congenial friendship with
you, without any disturbing reserva-
lions.

THERE Is a general conviction
AMONG all Juvenile welfare

By means Of publicity the people
were first Informed, then led, ana
at last literally driven through the
force OF their newly awakened con-
science. Well-prepared news items
posters, placards, and motion Pic
lures did the work.
Now the workers in behalf OF
young humanity must certainly fail
behind the procession unless they
make use OF this new agency OF
publicity. Every form OF society
OF the kind needs an able publicity
agent even more than 1t needs
first-class president-some one who
can take every little important in
cident OF the meetings and render
il into a news item that will be
worthy OF a conspicuous headline

RED CROSS PLANS

HOOVER TELLS OF NEEDS OF
SUFFERING PEOPLE IN
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Herbert Hoover, head of the Europ-
can Relief Administration, cables that
the most serious need of millions of
men, women and children in northern
France, Italy, Czecho- -Slovakia, Bel
gium, Serbia, Roumania Greece and
other allied countries in the near East
is that of clothing. In most places,
the Huns absolutely ruined the tex
tile industries making it impossible
for. the people to help themselves.
even if they had raw materials, ac-
cordingly they look. to the outside
world, and principally to America for
assistance.
Colonel Harvey D. Gibson cables:
Refugees have been for several years
in rags or with practically no clothes
at all. In many countries now, even
if clothing could be manufactured and
paid for, material is totally lacking.
The need is great to degree that few
at home can possibly realize. Every
garment furnished will cover a body
which otherwise would lack proper
and each garment furnished
will actually prevent suffering"
Fifty American Red Cross investi-
gators in France have submitted a re-
port asserting that the need of cloth
ing among hundreds of thousands of
refugees in France alone is more i'm
perative even than food. The report
says, "Most of the refugee families

government allowance and their
small wages, but they are by no means
able to clothe themselves"

LOOKS FOR THIRD
PARTY IN IDAHO
PREDICTION MADE THAT THREE
PARTIES WILL BE IN FIELD
NEXT CAMPA

A prominent Idaho visitor who has
been a close student of political af-
fairs in the Gem state for many years
in an interview at the Portland Hotel,
is of the belief that the formation of
third party in Idaho is not i'm
probable as the result of recent po-
litical upheavals.
''The nonpartisan league deliber-
ately stole the Idaho democratic, prl-
maries last year." and procured the
nominati of H. F. Samuels for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket, IN op-
position to the regular democratic
candidate, in spite of all the demo-
cratic party could do. Samuels was
defeated, but he has recently been
selected by Secretary Wilson OF the
department of labor to make tour
of foreign countries and report on
labor conditions. This appointment, 1T
is pointed out, could scarcely have
been made without the sanction, OF
United States Senator John +. Nu-
gent, active head of the real demo-
cratic organization of Idaho, who has
the ear of the administration.
"Many in the democratic party
censure Senator Nugent for the ap-
pointment of Samuels, which they ac-
cept as an indication of Nugent's
compromise, or at least recognition
of the bipartisan league.
In the non-partisan camp strong
element has sprung up in opposition
to the Samuels faction for his al
legged surrender to the democrats. AS
a result of this split in both the DEM
ocratic and non-partisan ranks, it
would not be surprising were a third
party developed before the 1920 cam
paign opens. Portland Oregonian.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
BOSTON HERALD TAKES A POST
CARD VOTE AND GETS SUR
I PRISING RESULTS

The Boston Herald's postcard poll
of representative citizens of eastern
Massachusetts, on the league of ma
tions shows preponderance of senti-
ment in favor of the idea. Some an
swers SAVIOR of political partsanship,
but most do not. Judge Robert Grant,
stout conservative in politics, says:
sThe draft of the proposed league of
nations may be loosely drawn and
may require some new phrasing, but
its framework is sound, and will, in
my opinion. win the support of
vast majority of the people," Some
of the most spirited replies come from
business men. Theodore Jones, presi-
dent of the welI-known firm OF
Jones, McDuffee C Stratton, who
is republican, declares himself
.tsouarely on the side of President
Wilson and Mr.. Taft" and considers
the attitude of the Obstructionist re-
publican senators as ''very detriment-
al to the welfare of this country" P.
b. Magrane of the Magrane, Houston
company, writes:
Senators Lodge and Knox show
their minds steeled and wrapped by
partisan politics to such an extent
that the means, tears, and starving
conditions of hundreds OF millions OF
human beings are as nothing, COM
pared to the party advantage that
they might gain"
Some of the dissenters merely state
that they "side with Lodge and Knox,
refusing to be explicit. Other critics
say that they favor the league of ma
tions, but in the words of E. G. Pres

.PRESBYTER|ANS
MAKE BIG DRIVE
SEEK FUND OF S3S,OOO,OOO-F A.
DAVID IN CHARGE OF LOCAL
WORK

The PreSbyterlanS are making a big
drive for funds to carry on their work
during the coming year. This is a
nationwide movement in which all
Presbyterian churches are cooperat-
ing. The campaign will culminate
next Sunday afternoon in a personal
canvas of all members and friends of
the church. Between the hours of
2 and on that date it is proposed
to raise funds at the rate of $13,000,-
900 an hour. This is the biggest pro-
gram the church has ever undertaken.
The church is confronted with a great
opportunity for expansion-the great
est opportunity in her history. A great
war has been waged in defense of the
moral principles of righteousness and
justice and brotherhood. 1t is the
church's task to hold the gains that
have been made and conserve the
splendid idealism that the war has
called forth.
Twenty-Five million dollars of the
entire fund to be raised is for local
congre gational expenses and $13,000,-
900 for our worldwide work. This
includes $500,000 for returning sol
diers and sailors, and another $780,
900 for rebuilding the Protestant
churches of France, Belgium and
Italy Four-fifths of the Protestant
churches which were destroyed in the
war area were of the Presbyterian or
der.
F. A. David is in charge Of the local
campaign. He will be assisted by a
central committee of five members ::
j. G.. Eldridge, H. H. Simpson, ]. S.
-Heckathorne, G. M Jacobson, and
VIM Hunter. In addition to these
men about 80 other men of the con-
gregation will have part in the work
of the campaign. The money to be
raised locally will include the running
expense of the local Presbyterian
church and her apportionment of
funds for the worldwide work of the
church.
