and pretty Partisan maidens Mr.. Gold
berg has had time while in France to
do a few other things, too. He went
one day to the American hospital at
Neuilly with Red Cross nurse to see
how our wounded were cared for, and
instead of stayiny half an hour, he
spent the afternoon, drawing pictures
for the wounded lads and making
sketches in their diaries. He didn't
say anything about this to us, but we
learned afterward that the boys re-
garded the occasion as red-letter day
for them. 1t gave them something
pleasant to talk about, and helped to
break the monotony of life
Mr.. Goldberg visited Verdun. and the
American battlefields of Belleau Wood,
Vaux, st. Mihiel, and the Argonne for

chateau on a big French farm, and was
there presented with a German rifle
and other trophies. The chateau was

for visitors from home who chance to
come that way in military automobiles.
While in France, Mr.. Goldberg met
his friend, Joseph Cummings Chase,
official portrait painter Of the A. e. F.,
who had gone over to paint generals
for the war college, and to make por-
traits of doughboys decorated for valor.
He painted Mr.. Goldberg's picture, too,

The Quakers have SO far raised all
the money they have used, about half
a million dollars, among their own
number. They need 100000 more, and
are preparing for new campaign.
Judging from appearances and from

also busy in good works.

for sheep purposes in the state. The
ranch home formerly was an eight
room structure with very few of the
modern improvements. It has been en-
larged to a Broom house and three
bathrooms, each of the latter having a.
handsome tile floor and the very latest
equipment
A fine feature is the big new double

and basement.
In the basement is located the water
tank. electric battery and engine for
furnishing water pressure all over the
house. also electric lights. The big
furnace is also in the basement. Two
septic tanks were installed north Of the
house.
Many other improvements were and
are being made to the house. In addi-
ton two handsome new cottages for
employees and their families were built
at some distance from the house. also q

TUESDAY LUNCHEON
PROVES VALUED AID.
Weekly Conclave at Vale Hotel
Clearing House for Pertinent
Ideas; Event Has Proved In
structive and Popular.

Vale, March 13.-The chamber Of
commerce OF Vale is back of a busi-
ness mems luncheon furnished every
Tuesday noon at the Drexel hotel. one
OF the most popular hostelries in east
ern Oregon. About so is. the average
attendance at these luncheohs.
The value Of the Tuesday luncheon 10
In the fact that it serves as sort of
mid-week clearing house of ideas and
of announcements of interest to the
whole community.
The luncheon each Tuesday starts
promptly at IL and closes in time for
those present to reach their places OF
business by / O'clock. "a toastmaster is
appointed for each luncheon. He calls
on whomever he chooses for a brief talk
on any subject that may be of interest
or value to the community. Thus a
free discussion of things Of interest is
brought about each week.
If an outside notable or person of
prominence from any other community
happens to be in Vale on Tuesday, he
is invited to attend the luncheon and
is called upon by the toastmaster to
make some remarks.
THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT.
G. Fl. Curry, publisher of the Vale
Enterprise, who a year ago was sec
rotary of the chamber of commerce,
started the idea of the Tuesday lunch
cons and they have proven very inn
portapt factor in the life and activity
of the town. Perhaps its greatest
achievement is in the success with
which the pep and spirit of the people
were kept alive in the Warm Springs
irrigation project Of $4,000 acres, this
project now being actually under
course of construction. The project
will be completed in the spring of 1920,
and then will add 10000 acres to the
irrigation area tributary to Vale, and
$4,000 acres tributary to Ontario. These
two towns are practically in the midst
Of boom already.
These luncheons have already served
to promote a good spirit with the other
towns and communities in Malheur
county.
To these 1uncheons may also be at
tributed the success with which the
Vale chautauqua was put over, and the
fact of the streets leading to town be-
ing well graveled.
The idea of the regular monthly auc-
ton sales day was started at the lunch
con and put over, the fourth success
full sale already having been held.
Charles Cook, who operates the
Drexel cafe, serves an especially fine
meal for each of these luncheons, at so
cents per plate. Each one present pays
his own way.
A. w. Reed is president and Ike Rob-
inette is secretary of the Vale chamber
of commerce. Mr.. Reed was unstinting
in his praise of the Tuesday luncheon
and said it is the most valuable fea-
lure of this commercial organization.

AMERICAN QUAkERS RENDER
VITAL AID.

OF course our American Quakers
cannot do more than small part of
the work of reconstruction, but they

vitality needed, and everything they do

WAR SPIRIT TO MAKE PEACE

In one of his speeches in England
President Wilson told OF the remark
of a friend of his, When peace is
conducted in the spirit OF war, there
win be no war"
And isn't it the truth? II nations
gave to the promotion of peace one
hundredth as much devotion. effort
and money as they give to the prose-
cution of wars once started, surely
there would be mighty few wars.
And IL a 1.-THE of thought and fore
sight that statesmen have hitherto
given to preparing for wars and
fighting wars we're given to the con-
struction OF guarantees against war
between times, would there be any
wars at all? r
The whole world knows how the
statesmen of the allied nations
found a practical way to pool their
own thinking machinery and their
countries resources when 1t came to
a question of international units or
destruction. They formed league
of armed nations, in complete CO.
operation, and so defeated Germany
and saved the world. Is there any
reason why a similar spirit and effort
cannot now devise a plan that will
stop all such catastrophes hereafter
before they start?

OCEAN OF PEACE WANTED

Hundreds of thousands Of pounds
of T n T, one of the high explosives
much used during the war, have
been dumped into the sea of the
coast of New Jersey, in accordance
with an order of the railroad ad-
ministration.
This deadly stuff by the car load
has been a standing menace ever
since the armistice was signed. Now
some of it has been shipped abroad
and the rest of it is disposed Of in
the simplest manner known to man
1t is a great pity that every menace
which war involves cannot be just a!
simply and easily eliminated.
The world has no more desire t
be torn to pieces by war than to b.
blown up by T N T. The sooner tn

THE PILLARS OF HERCULES


The demand of Spain for the re-
turn of Gibraltar calls up ancient sea
memories.
That famous rock, held by the
British for more than two centuries,
is one of two twin promontories
that have guarded the entrance OF
the Mediterranean since the dawn
of history. The other, now called
Ceuta, stands 10 miles distant, on
the tip of the Moroccan peninsula,
marking the apex of the African con-
tinent.
The ancients called them the ."Pil-
lars of Hercules" According to the
old myth, Hercules, the Greek demi-
god, had pushed them apart to make
the wide, deep channel through
which the waters of the Mediterran-
can mingle with those of the Allan
tic. Like the myths, it doubtless
shadowed forth a truth. Biologists
say that Africa and Europe were
once Joined at this point by rocky
ridge.
To the old Greeks those pillars"
marked the limits of the known
world. In Homer's time the ocean
beyond them was a vague region of
fable and terror. II the Phoenicians
the Britons of antiquity-were
ever accustomed to venturing
through them, they left little record
of their adventures. Until shortly
before the Christian era, therefore,
Gibraltar marked the jumping-ofi
place OF civilization.
Now that little strait Is the worlds
greatest gateway Of commerce and
communication. And Great Britain
guards 1t, as she guards most Of the
worlds important sea gates, domi
mating the strait from the fortified
rock which has become in every civ
ilized land synonym Of invinciblt
strength.
Spain asks for that rock, on thu
ground that It is geographically ;
part Of the Spanish peninsula. In
asmuch as the accepted peace plat
form Is concerned with the racia
rights rather than geographical ira
ditions, 1t is not likely that much at
tention will be paid to the request.
Gibraltar is but tiny place, onl!
a couple OF square miles in extent
and its inhabitants, though speaking
sort of Spanish, have not been pre-
dominantly Spanish for 200 years
The place is pretty thoroughly An
glicised. Moreover, the world is
pretty well persuaded that Great
Britain has not abused her use Of
the famous "pillar," and can be
trusted better than Spain can If II
is to- remain. under any particular
national .gnardianship-, Il Mc:f ag
