on Monday in addition to the school
donations. 1t is necessary to raise
about $780, Mayor L. A. Fritsche
informs the Reviev that he believes
the solicitors will have no great diff
fculty in getting the entire amount
together.
The following account Of conditions
in the Volga valley will explain the
need for the assistance to the unfortu-
nate Russians:
Il could hear the children crying two
blocks away as / approached one Of
the homes for abandoned children in
Samara, the central city Of the famine
area Of Russia. A steady wall that
kept up like moan grew louder as we
got nearer. The nurses could do no.
thing except to go around every NOR
ming and separate the ba bies that were
going to die that day; and they went
around at different times later and felt
them to see if they were cold. In the
evening those who had died during
the day were gathered together and
placed in heaps outside the building.
A garbage-cart stopped each night
and the baby bodies were loaded in.

way before all Of the children's institu-

!. . q Z & Z - j . i :
Though most Of us are now ia miiar
with the larger outlines Of the Russian
famine story, it is still hard to under
stand the fact that the great Volga
Valley, which has always been the
granary of Russia, supplying not only
it's own population, but most Of the
rest Of European Russia and other
areas of the world with wheat and rye,
is now bare Of any grain. Over an
area 500 miles long by 500 miles wide
there fell during April, May and June
Of this year-the critical growing
months of the grain crop-less than
2.5 inches, the normal being IA inches,
Of rain, and the temperature averaged
1876 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than
the average for the last seventeen
years. While 93S,O0O tons Of grain
were needed by this area for its own
consumption, but $4,000 were pro
duced. Many Of the peasants with
whom I talked said that all the grain
which their land had produced could
have been held in, their double hands,
and this meant rations for a whole
family for year = .a.

ton is in Roundup dress. Her citiz-
ems have discarded the sober attire
of tht hum-drum business world and
are gay in the fancy vests, loud shirts
and broad-brimmed sombraros of the

showing cards proclaiming that their
employees are dressed 100 per cent
for the Roundup"
Nor is the biggest little city in the
world" lacking in gaala attire. Street
decorations are being put in place ami
vari-colored banners and pennants
are floating in the clear air of Sept

At the Roundup grounds the shiny
coated racers are Gaily being put
through their PAGES. They have won
honors On tracks throughout the Unit
cd States and give promise of some
breathless races at this years show.
Mexican steers a-plenty are ready, and
buckers as well.
There is a coyness in the eyes OF
Winnemucca and Hotfoot, two of the
widest buckers, that presages i'll for
riders. Both are aacclaimed
by the cowboys as "a COupla wild

Besides the usual world champion

year be northwest championship as

VETERANS MAY YET
CLAIM DISABILITY

Despite the fact that the time limit
for securing certificates of injury TO,
war disabilities expired August 8 Of
this year. disabled war veterans of the
Pacific Northwest have until five
years after discharge to file claims
against the government for compensa-
ton, according to l.. c. Jesseph,
northwest head of the United States
Veterans bureau. In many cases,
however, the five-year pexiod expires
during this fall or the coming winter
which calls for hasty action on the
part of the veteran, he stated. Be-
cause many veterans believe that the
time limit for filing claims has expir-
ed, the veterans burcSl is eager that
every veteran Of Washington, Oregon
and Idaho know that immediate action
on his part in the matter Of making
proper claim for compensation will |
protect him in case his disability, now
noncompensable. becomes aggravated
after the five-year period, Mr. Jesseph |
said.
With rs per cent of its GIG hospit-
allied war veterans In government |
hospitals under yhe control of the vet
erans' bureau, this district or the Du'
reau compares favorably with any
district in the United States in the
matter of eliminating treatment OF dis
abled veterans in contract hospitals. 1t
Is the aim Of the bureau to have all
veterans treated in govern
ment institutions.
Establishment OF an employment
service in connection with the veter-
ans bureau has relieved unemploy-
ment among rehibilitated war veter-
ans generally, 1t was announced. Ap-
rs veterans who have com
pleted their vocational training COURSE
have been placed in positions thru
this agency during the last six weeks.
of Washington, Oregon and
IDAHO are urged to give these disabled
war veterans, now expert along vari-
,us lines, first opportunity to fill va
,ancies or new positions.

"CANNING WEEK" TO
BE SEPTEMBER 1923

Portland Ore, Sept. 11-(SpeciaD
TO assist in the relief of the fruit
growers of the state who are hard hit
by the present rail strike, the Oregon
State Chamber of Commerce has sug.
gesied that the week of September
1928 be designated as canning week"
to be observed throughout the state
during which housewives will be urg-
ed to can a two years supply Of fruit
for family use.
Communications suggesting Gan
ming Week" have been sent to more
than one hundred commercial clubs
and chambers of commerce in Oregon.
Governor Olcott has been requested to
place his official stamp of approval
upon the project.
II is pointed out by state chamber
officials that the rail strike has cur
tailed car service to points east, e.
pecially in regard to refrigerator Ger
vice. with the result that bumper
fruit crops in Oregon are in danger of
being lost through lack Of market. An
increased volume of home canning
will do much to relieve the situation,
it is believed.

PORTLAND WILL
FINANCE FAIR
FOR YEAR 1925
Whether or Not Oregon Will
Be Decided by Voters of
State at Polls This Fall.

With an appeal to the people in
every part Of Oregon to concen
trate on campaign of statewide
development by filling the state
with visitors from all over the
world the scenic farming and liz
dustrial attractions and opportuni-
ties, the 1925 exposition COM
mittee in Portland has launched
its campaign in behalf of the
measure to be voted on at the
state election November G. The
measure amends the state Consti-
tuition so as to permit Portland to
tax sitelf to finance the fair. No
tax itself to finance the fair. No
I'VE have state full of resources,
opportunities and scenic attractions"
says Mayor Baker of Portland, who
heads the exposition committee. Orc
gon now is the least advertised state
in the Union and consequently Is
developing slowly. We must do like a
store or business concern does when
exposition Is the best known way to
advertise.
To bring thousands Of people to Ore
gon from all over the world will bring
money to the state and will bring busi-
ness people, farmers and investors.
We have the advantages and we must
show them in order 20 place them on
the market and in order to develop
our state to the extent that what we
already have in the way of products
can be utilized. The 1925 exposition
is not Portland venture although
that city will stand the expense. 1t
is an Oregon exposition and all Port
land asks is that the state sanction it.
The state which is now talking about
the need Tor advertising our attrac-
tons could ask for no better proposi-
ton"
Plans have been made for an inten>
sive campaign between now and Nov
ember 9th. The exposition advocates
expect to extend the campaign thru
out the state in an effort to organize
the state as unit for state develop
ment which is the underlying pur-
rose Of the exposition
