OREGON BOYS IN
IDAHO GUARD co
LONG FOR HOME

Something Of the feelings of the
Tmatilla county boys who enlisted in
the Idaho National Guard because
that was the first opportunity that Of
fered is told in some verses composed
By sid Barnes of Weston who is with
the 80 or more Pendleton and Una
tilla county BOYS in Co. T. of the 1. \.
G. A copy of the verses was sent by
Private Roscoe Vaughn to j.. F.. Rob
i1son of this city. Here they are:
Oregon Boys.
Now Idaho's as grand a state
As ere the sun hon on:
But after everything's been said,
II amt like Oregon.
For Oregon is home sweet home,
And If We go TO war,
We'd like to think that it's u
friends,
That we are fighting for.
We all came acre to do our share.
At fatigue or police;
We do NOT ask an easy task;
Wen fight till dawn Of peace,
But when we get a PAPER.
A letter or a card,
We cannot help hut wish that We
Had Joined a different guard.
For Oregon is home sweet home;
And when the war is through,
And boys come marching home again
We want their welcome too:
We hate to think that if we go
Across to strafe the Hun
Wen all come back to Idaho
not 10 Oregon.
when the oregon boys come home
In cumpanys and brigades,
Wen have to come back one by one,
And miss the big parades.
And 'though it's all for Uncle sam.
we must cross the foam.
We'd like to GO from Oregon;
For Oregon is home.
Now people. thouhg we cross the pond
make the Germans run,
make the fight and do it right; !
Oregon and Home.
Yes, Oregon is home sweet home;
And when the fight is won.
want to 20 back home again,
md fight with oregon.

War Tax.

On yesterday the war tax
revenue bill went into effect
and the country will accept
the measure passed by congress
as the best means Of raising
the additional funds necessary
to prosecute the great war in
which We are engaged. The
bill places the tax on the lux
uries principally, but the BUSH
ness interests will also have to
contribute a liberal share Of
the revenue. Railroad travel
will be made more expensive,
an increase Of 8 per cent be-
ing added on all tickets. All
twenty dollar mileage books
will now cost twenty-one sixty,
and every ticket over thirty
five cents will also bear the
eight per cent revenue tax.
Tobacco and cigars come in for
their usual war revenue and
the places of pleasure, such as
theatres and other places OF
amusements where a fee is
charged will be subject to tax.
Freight and express packages
are down on the list and the
tax must be paid before the
consignments are forwarded.
The rate on letter postage will
be three cents from today.

Tetanus Serum.

The secret service depart
ment at Washington is now
engaged in an effort to run
down those who are RESPONSE
BILE for scattering infected vac
cine points through out the
country. In many cities these
infected points have been
found and the national health
authorities are convinced that
there is a plot to have them
reach every camp where the
soldiers are being vaccinated
to prevent smallpox and ty-
phoid. The federal authori-
ties will endeavor to locate the
plot by tracing the points to
the manufacturers who will be
investigated.
The number of cases Of lock-
jaw among the soldiers aroused
the suspicion of the surgeons in
charge of the camps and at all
camps a full Investigation of
the points will be made before
any of them are used.
Circumstances now indicate
that this is another of the
nefarious plots which the Ger
mans are using to prevent the
United States from raising an
army. 1t is the policy of that
government to bring about
disease and death among the
soldiers of the allies regardless
Of the means employed and
every avenue must be carefully
guarded to prevent them from
carrying out their nefarious
purpose.

that connected one part of the
empire with another. These
highways were evidently con-
structed at very great cost, for
the natural distractions were
great, yet, no cost was spared,
and after many years the en-
pire dominated the world
largely through the value of
their road system.
Road building has not kept
pace with the progress of the
times, due to the employment
of the railroads as handlers of
transportation, and only within
a few years have the people of
this country awakened to their
Importance. Isolated efforts
have been made in various
states to build state highways
but these have been met with
counter influences which either
checked or brought about
abandonment of the work.
Mississippi has taken the lead
in road building, and We take
a just pride in referring to the
fact that Tupelo was the initial
point fro mwhich the road spir-
it spread. The roads through
the county have been the direct
means of attracting two great
national highways and now our
little city has become the cross
ing point of highways that
stretch from the far east to the
far west and from the north
to the south, over which there
will be a steady flow of bust
ness home seekers and tourists.
The aBnkhead highway was To-
Gated through here a year ago
in a meeting held at Birming-
ham, Ala, and now the great
Burlington Way" the Orange
and White Auto Trail from
st. Paul to New Orleans, has
been officially located over our
north and south county road
right through Tupelo.
1t is a cause for congratula-
ton that we offer such induce
ments and advantages that out
siders look us up and find it to
their best interest to put US on
their routes.
The Tupelo journal., 1917-11-02

and added that should he be
selected to represent the dis
trict in congress we would
have a most capable and wor-
thy representative. Mr.. Frier-
son prefaced his remarks with
the statement that his candi-
dacy for congress was of sec
ondary Importance compared
with the duties of the citizen
to the government at this time.
He reviewed the present war
attitude and plainly showed
that the drawing in of this
country was inevitible and
and that now that we are in
the fight there is nothing left
for us to do but to win. His
talk was filled with logical
conclusions drawn from the
situation and those who heard
him fully agreed with him.
He is a member Of the house
of Representatives from Lown-
des county. Mr.. Frierson is
one of the most Industrious and
reliable members of the Mis-
sissippi legislature. He stands
high with that body and is
looked to for wise counsel
when matters of great import
ance are pending.

La Vernet Hereford Sold.

At the Tri-State Fair grounds
Memphis, yesterday and today
the great Hereford herd of
the late w. j. Davis of Jack
son, are being sold at public
auction. This great herd was
built up within a very few years
by Mr.. Davis, who. was assist
ed by his son, Y. T. Davis, and
was recognized as the cham
pion herd of Herefords in the
entire country. Old Point
Comfort was the champion
bull at all the leading fairs
while lie Vernet cows took
blue ribbons wherever shown.
The death of the elder Davis,
and the business interests of
the younger, make it necessary
to dispose Of the stock which
will be eagerly sought by
breeders who know their value.
1t is to be regretted that this
great farm with its national
reputation cannot be held to-
gether. The influence on the
breeding of fine cattle from
the Davis farm was felt all ov-
err the country and it will be a
distinct loss to the cattle IN

through congress. His humor and
power Of ridicule were used to ex-
pose the corruption of his opponents
and his services to the country at
large were recognized as invaluable
by the party to which he belonged.
His services in congress continued
for sixteen years, and at the close,
following a speech which was circu-
lated from one end Of the country
to the other for it's great wit, his col
leagues located q fish hatchery here
as an evidence Of their high appre-
citation of him. The republicans as
well as the democrats voted for the
appropriation.
At the close of his services in con-
gress President Mckinley appointed
Mr.. Allen as a member of the Worlds
Fair Commission in ST. Louis, he re-
naming on the commission until the
affairs of the exposition were closed
up. Since that time he has led the
| quiet life of a country gentleman,
| taking no active interest in politics
| except at times when he would ad-
dress the people upon the issues Of
the day. His last appearance in a
campaign was in 1911, when he sup
! ported Senator Percy and stumped
| the state in his behalf.
The sobriquet of Private john
was gained in his race for congress
against Gen. Tucker, who was a dis
tinguished Confederate soldier. In a
debate Gen. Tucker referred to his
record and asked for votes for his
services to the Confederacy. In his
response Mr.. Allen stated that he
recognized Gen. Tucker as a distin-
guished general, but that he himself
had only been a private in the
trenches; that he was perfectly will
for the generals of the district to
vote for his opponent while he would
be satisfied with the votes of the
privates. After this speech he was
ever after known as Private John"
Allen, and in any company anywhere
reference to him would find that he
was as well known abroad as he was
at home. AS an instance of this a
Tupelo boy walked into a steamship
Office in Liverpool, England, after
being discharged as a British soldier
in the Boer war in South Africa, and
! called for a ticket to Tupelo. The
clerk could not find Tupelo on the
map, and declined to sell the tikcet.
The manager came forward and said
to the young man, "You are from
John Aliens town, and we will sell
you a ticket to Tupelo."
The funeral services were conduct
ed from his home on corner of JEFF
ferson and Madison streets, Wednes-
day afternoon at two o'clock. All
business was suspended and the in
dustrial plants of the city were
closed that the employees and BUSH
ness men could attend the services.
Rev. O. w. Bradley, of the Methodist
church, conducted the services, as
sisted by Rev. w. w. Woolard, Rev.
w. L. Duren, Rev. M. Il. Armour
and Bishop James C. Atkins, who
came from Nashville to be present.
The active pail bearers were his
