Want to BE Honorably Discharged

The members of the ID Oregon at San
Francisco, have objected to the form of
discharge, because it does not contain the
word honorable" 1t is said at the War
Department that there are three forms of
discharge, honorable" without honor
and "dishonorable.' If none of the words

1t seems that in the blanks used the word
honorable has been left out. but there is
no objection to having 1t written in, If the
men desire.

II is the general opinion of the

closed was one of the most sue
cessful ever held in the county.
The instructors in this years

isfaction. Their work has been
helpful and inspiring 10 ell the
teachers.

merly connected with the Logan

ence in the court house Wednes'
day evening.

morning met with q very favorable
reception from the teachers. We
have heard a great many of them
speak in highest terms of the adj
dress.
The enrolment did not reach
the two hundred mark, as we pre-
dicted last week, but it came very
near it, being 1914 last night. Had
it not been for the very hot
weather this week, the attendance
would have reached two hundred,
no doubt.
