InStructin8 Greeks.

Anthems, Greece. This ancient
home of sculpture that has never been
surpassed is now the center, under
American auspices, of a modern varla-
ton of art, the fashioning of artif"
cial limbs to take the place OF those
lost in the greatest war. A workshop
has been taken over by the American
Red Cross Mission to Greece and there
American workmen are turning out
these limbs and instructing Greek
workmen who eventually will man
the plant.
The artificial legs will be fitted and
given to Greek soldiers in need OF
them without cost. Until this time
hundreds of disabled Greek fighters
got along as. best they could with crude
peg-legs and cumbersome twenty
pound artificial limbs and their JOY
at receiving workable, four pound
artificial leg knows no bounds. And
already the work is extending through
the ordering of tools and machinery,
so that very soon approved types OF
artificial arms will be supplied those
who have suffered the loss of that
member.
The American Red Cross Mission
to Greece is also aiding school for
the re-education of mutilated soldiers.
Here the disabled are being taught
useful trades of all kinds, including
tailoring, shoe making, carpentering,
metal working, basketry and steno-
graphy.

Come All Ye Faithful.

Easter time is here-the heart
turns to God in gratitude for the
promise of the spring.
The war is won, a glorious victory
for the principles of justice and right.
Prayers from millions of hearts go up
in Thanksgiving for their loved ones
spared to them, for the end of the
period of greatest anguish the world
has ever known. Nights that were
spent in watching, and days in watt
ing for news, news that one prayed
might never come, are over.
why seek ye the living amongst
the dead?" the Easter angels sing.
Your loved ones are coming back to
you, whole and stronger for the ex-
perience.
is it nothing to you, all We that
pass by?"-this greatest gift with
which the Father could bless you,
the saving of your boys life? There
is no adequate way in which graft
tude for this greatest of all blessings
can be shawn, but there is one way
in which thankfulness may be ex-
pressed. Ii is by helping to insure
the victory already won, by making
ii so secure that there will never
again be the necessity for war.
This can be done through the whole
hearted support of the nations ideals
and principles. Through the prompt
and hearty response of the whole
country to the needs of the govern
ment true praise may be demonstrate
ed, and the key y-stone to the arch of
Victory set, making the structure
firm for all time to come.
Many of the boys are already back
Others are coming every day and per-
haps the last will be home during the
summer. Shall we let them come
back while the victory they won is
still unpaid for, before the key stone
is set?
Easter time-peace time-promise
time. Fulfill the promise, keep it
on earth forever.

Digging In.

Everyone has heard about the won
derful buildings in our great cities.
Air hammers, power drills, steam
shovels, electric blasts, suction pumps
hew away the earth and stone to lay
the foundation of these tremendous
structures. This is the process OF
digging in, '-the first step in lay
ing the foundations for the buildings
housing the forces that man the great
industrial army of our nation.
From this sort of digging in"
many of our boys turned to another
kind of digging in" At Chateau
Thierry, Belleau Woods, scissors,
and at Sedan they dug in" that
world freedom might live. They laid
the foundation for universal peace;
with victory for justice, for democracy
of the world, over autocracy. There,
too, they laid the foundation for a
fitting monument to their own heroic
courage.
Everyone has heard about the
grounding. He does his digging
in" late in October or early in Nov
ember. He does it simply, naturally,
and along about February 2, he
emerges and predicts spring and sun
shine.
Like the grounding, our boys at
home dug in" They dug deep
into their pockets; they cut the purse
strings. They bought Liberty Bonds
bought generously of each issue.
They did it that the world might
awaken from the nightmare OF war.
Had our fighting army not dug in"
victory would have been postponed;
peace would now be probability,
not fact.
Last fall you dug in" to help win
the war. Now's your chance to dig
in" toward laying the foundation for
universal peace. Soon the Victory
Liberty Loan will be offered. Get
ready and dig ill.,"

MATCHES FOR THE YANKS
Knights Of Columbus Keep tho Boys
over There Supplied.

It's one thing to supply the dough.
boys with free smokes, but quite an.
other for the boys to light them com.
fortably now that they are in Ger.
many, where matches are not as plen.
tiful as they used to be before the war.
There are the "wait-a-minute" and
"die-hard" matches, so named by the
British Tommies because, unless fel.
low wants to be gassed by the raw
sulphur of the tips, he has to wait un.
til the sulphur is expended and the
wood Of the match begins burning be
fore he can light his cigarette, cigar
or pipe.
This being the case, the Knights Of
Columbus have sent and are sending
regular American book matches to the
boys with the army Of occupation. An
order for 100000 books of matches
was recently placed by the Knights so
that the boys abroad will be able to
get their smokes without risking gas
poisoning by using the European grade
Of lucifers.

Rails Irregular Today
With Narrow Limit

New York, Jan. 27.-The Evening
Sun financial review today says:
The announcement of the removal of
restrictions of stock exchange loans
could not have been at better time.
Coming, as it did, after the market
had closed on Friday and with Satur-
day, when there was no money market
and Sunday to intervene between then
and today's session, there was but
scant reflection from the opening. The
shorts in the steel group made show
of covering for brief period because
of Judge Gary's outburst of optimism
concerning the labor problem and the
general situation, but the influence of
that quickly wore off and whatever
gains were registered in that quarter
were for the most part cancelled. Bald
win Locomotive and American Car and
Foundry were lower from the outset
and the shipping shares also displayed
eactionary tendency. The rails were
irregular within a narrow limit, with
some few exceptions, such as Texas and
Pacific and Missouri Pacific preferred,
which advanced in good form, and
Rock Island, which was under pres
sure.

Keep The Road In Good
Condition To Mail Box

Rural patrons of the free delivery
service Of the postoffice are expected
to do their share in making life as
pleasant as possible for mail carriers,
not as matter of pleasure, but one of
law.
On several of the rural routes leading
out of Salem, the approaches to the mai
boxes have become in bad condition
since the rains, making it difficult for
the rural carrier with his auto to ap-
proach the box.
Now the farmer is supposed to ap-
preciate this rural service by keeping
the load in good shape where the rural
carriers auto drives up to the box
and if ne does not, the postal authori-
ties nre in position to take action.
Tho postal law reads as follows:
"Eacn box shall, if practicable, be
erected on the right hand side of the
road regularly Travelled by rural car
rier and in such position as to be easily
and safely accessible for the delivery
aid collection of mail by the carrier,
without leaving his conveyance. Pa
irons shall keep clear the approaches
to their boxes by promptly removing
distractions which may render it diff
cult tr impossible for the delivery of
mail by the earrier.'

why are the people of Portland asked
to subscribe for soldiers welfare
funds when the Mayor Baker fund for
emergencies for soldiers and sailors
from Oregon lies idle in the Northwest
ern National bank9"
Mayor Baker answered the question
yesterday morning by saying:
",rhc state has appropriated 100000
the war camp community service has a
fund of about 100000. My idea is that
we ought to keep the emergency fund
to meet es real emergency. People who
had nothing to do with raising this
fund are eriticising me, or rather the
committee in charge of il, for guarding
it jealously. But the time may come
when the money now available has been
exhausted and when real emergency
will appear. Then 1t will be mighty
fine 10 have money available to meet
such an emergency. If it should hap
pen that the money it not needed for
an emergency, good use can be made of
IL ultimately. Why dig into it nowf'
The fund referred to was subscribed
in the early days of Americas pcrtici-
patton in the world war. 1t was in
tended to reach $4,000 but subserip-
tions did not pass beyond about $4,000,
The mayor said that he hsd sent Colon
el May of the old Third Oregon in
France $1,000. He thought similar
amount had gone to Chaplain Gilbert,
and smaller amounts to the coast guard.
ssI sent 5000 to o. C. Letter in New
York to assist in meeting the Orerran
soldiers as they arrive from overseas, !"
said the mayor. "but this particular
amount was added 20 the fund from the
proceeds Of s boxing match"
While the original Intention was to
spend the mayors emergency funds for
organized units through their officers,
the mayor said that the money could
be- used to meet any real emergency,
"But that doesn I mean,' he added.
"That the money can or viii be used
for aocorations.'
