MEN UNDER DRAFT
MAY VOLUNTEER

Until his name has been actually
posted by his local exemption board
as called up for physical examination
any man subject to the draft. is free to
enlist as volunteer in the army or
navy of the United States.
Much misunderstanding has arisen
on this point, but the foregoing state
ment may be taken as official land
correct. After a man has once been
notified to appear for physical examin-
alton, he is subject to the military au-
thority and can no longer enlist as a
volunteer. But until that time there is
no restriction against voluntary enlist
ment on his part. Voluntary lenlist-
ments made since June 80 will not be
credited against the quota on Ethe first
draft of the state and of the county
from which these volunteers come.
But assurance hasl been given by the
Provost Marshal General at Washington
that they probably will be credited
against the next draft.
The interests of every county in the
state, no matter how remote, are very
carefully guarded in the matter of Civ.
ing credit for voluntary enlistments.
If man from Harney county, for
example, enlists in Portland, the enlist
ment is not credited to Multnomah
county, but to Harvey county. The
home county of the man enlisting in
every case received the credit.

DEAN JOHN STRAUB
VISITS HOOD RIVER

Dean John Straub, who for 80 years
has been at the University of Oregon,
the institution of which he is now dean,
was here last week endeavoring to Sc
cure attendance of young men at the
University the coming term.
"We face the proposition, said
Dean Straub, who has seen every class
graduate from the state university,
"of possibly seeing our colleges large
ly vacated by young men who fear that
they will be termed slackers if they
continue their work in college. Such a
condition must not prevail.
"The young men who are not yet old
enough to go. to the front or those who
have not been called out, should con-
slider it their duty to attend college.
We want to reach such young men.
The University of Oregon, along with
other institutions of higher education,
has adopted military training. The
young man who continues his work
with US, will, if the war continues for
period of a year, two years or three
years longer, be in a position to render
just so much better service to his coun-
try"
While in town Dean Straub visited at
the homes of a number of Oregon
graduates.

CITY SCHOOLS TO
OPEN AUGUST 27

City School Superintendent j. O..
Mclaughlin announces that the city
schools will begin this year on Mon
day, August 27, a week ahead of the
customary schedule time.
1--WE are planning on opening the
schools a week ahead of time, and they
will be held open week longer in the
spring." says Prof. Mclaughlin, in
order that we may declare a two
weeks vacation during apple harvest
time, if it is found necessary. We be-
lieve that the school children with
their help will be able to solve the
Hood River valley labor problems.
On last year the schools were closed
for part of a week. and growers were
saved thousands of dollars by this aid
at the height of the harvest. All val
ley schools will cooperate in an effort
to avert labor shortage this fall.

A POPULAR VERDICT
Based on Evidence of Hood River
People.

Based on Evidence of Hood River
People.
Grateful thousands tell it
Of weak backs made strong
OF weak kidneys made we'll
Urinary disorders corrected.
Hood River people add their testi-
mony.
They praise Doan's Kidney Pills.
Hood River evidence is now complete.
Hood River testimony is confirmed.
Reports of early relief substantiated
Merit doubly proved by test of time.
Let this Hood River man speak.
VIM. Boorman, retired farmer, 415
Sherman avenue, says: 81 was feeling
pretty bad when began using Doan' s
Kidney Pills, but am glad to say they
quickly cured me. My back, which had
been quite lame, is now all right, and |
can bend or stoop without difficulty,
something couldn't do before used
Doan's Kidney Pills" Over eight years
later Mr.. Boorman said "You may con-
tinue to use my recommendation for
Doan's Kidney Pills, for l still hold a
high opinion of this old, reliable kidney
medicine. Whenever necessary | take
Doan's and they never fail to do me
good"
Mr.. Boorman is only one of many
Hood River people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for a kidney remedy
ask distinctly for DOAN'S KIDNEY
PILLS, the same that Mr.. Boorman has
twice publicly recommended, the rene.
dy backed by home testimony. so cents

The Farewell

'Tis sad when at the country's call
We bid our boy farewell,
When they bravely leave their native
home,
To return again, only time can tell.
But duty calls them to service
And they truly must go to fight
So far across the mighty sea,
Yes, to fight with all their might.
Oh, think not of their dark today,
But of their bright tomorrow,
When they come marching home again
And behind them leave their sorrow.
And even tho some don't return,
But on the battle field are slain,
Oh, mothers, surely you can see
Your boy died not in vain!
For his country's sake he died
And was laid beneath the sod,
That the Stars and Stripes might for.
ever wave.
His spirit went to God.

PEAR HARVEST TO
BEGIN This WEEK

The Hood River Bartlett pear har-
vest will begin the latter part of this
week. According to shipping agen-
cies, the fruit of the BARTLETT variety
may all be taken by Gamers, and no
packed boxes of the product, if such
decision is finally arrived at, will be
shipped. The Bartlett yield of this
season, according to present estimates
will be about 20 per cent less than last
year when total of approximately
$4,000 boxes were harvested.
The D'Anjou, the principal variety
of pear grown in Hood River, crop
will be harvested next month. The
Hood River valley shipped 48 cars of
this variety, sold chiefly in South AM
erican markets, last year. The yield
this season will not be very much over
SO per cent of the 1916 crop.

Marines Learn Ancient Art

How to light a fire without matches
is an important part of the training
given to United States marines. The
primitive flint and steel, used long ago
by our forefathers, and the old wood
friction" method borrowed from the
Indians, have been revived, so that the
sea soldiers may dispense with matches
when dampness renders them useless.
US. Marines in the tropics can start
a fire lmost instantly by using hollow
piece of bamboo. This is done by slit
ting the bamboo, stuffing it with dry
moss and drawing a stick to and fro
across it as a violinist uses his bow.
These resourceful worldwide soldiers
are expecting to find substitute for
the useful bamboo in France.
