LOCAL LEGION MAY Be
HOST THINKS LEADER

Pendleton has every chance to
secure the 1921 state convention of the
American Legion, thinks w. b. Fol-
| lett. state president of that organiza :
;ion who was in Pendleton today.
Mr.. Follett says that all over the
state the feeling toward Pendleton
is favorable. and that Marshfield has
promised her support in the hope of
winning Pendleton's aid for 1922. Eu-
gene, Mr.. Follett thinks. will give some
opposition to Pendleton when the
matter comes before the state conven-
ton to be held in Astoria July 80, 81
and August /.
Mr.. FTollett was well pleased with
the Pendleton Post. The post is in
an excellent condition" he said Its
100 percent membership and its splen-
did spirit show that your city deserves
the convention
Mr.. Follett, who left on No. II for
Portland, served overseas as an en-
listed man with the 69th Artillery.

SERVANT PROBLEM IS
PUZZLE TO EUROPE

PARIS. July 15.-(A. P.)-The ser
want problem. new to Europe, is shar-
ing newspaper space and private dis
cussion in France with high taxes and
revolutions. The women who went
into factories during the war have not
returned to the broom and the pots,
The government tax on servants, def
initely included in the next tax bill, is
the least of the trouble but it served
to bring out long. loud complaints that
there are few servants. Employers
profess to be willing to pay double
and triple pre-war wages and to rec
ognize the servants new standard of
demands.
Unlike the American housewife the
French have not yet taken for granted
the general use of electric and gas
equipment washing machines, patent
kitchen cabinets and all the rest of the
labor savers that give advertisers the
courage to print pretty pictures of the
young bride in a lace apron getting
dinner to the music of a phonograph,
while reading a book in the breeze OF
an electric fan.
