Taken Prisoners
Washington, Nov. 8. - American
troops captured by the Germans IN
the trench raids the morning OF Nov
Srd probably were trapped in their
dugouts and forced to surrender or be
blown to pieces with hard grenades
without chance for their lives.
This is the only explanation which
occurs to army officers today, lacking
any detail Of the fight.
General Pershing's brief report
merely stated that the Germans ar
tillery dropped heavy barrage fire
about sector of the trench, cutting
off the men from help. No explana-
ton Of the ell Chit casualties reported
and the IL men taken prisoners was
received. The fact that one wounded
German was captured, however, in
dicated that the trench had been re-
occupied by the American forces.
Here is the official casualty list:
Killed

Mary Irwin, of Pittsburg.

You may talk about your voitures
When you're setting round the quar-
ters,
But when it comes TO getting 'bless
es in,
Take little tip from me,
Let those heavy motors be,
Pin your faith to Henry F's ole
Hunka Tin.
Give her essence and Peau,
Crank her up and let her 60,
You back firm, spark plug foulin
Hunka Tin.
The paint is not so good,
And no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like boiler shop en-
route;
The coolers sure to boil,
And perhaps she's leakin' oil,
Then oftentimes the horn declines to
loot.
But when the night is black,
And there's blesses to take back,
And they hardly give you time to
take smoke,
It's mighty good to feel,
When you're sitting at the wheel,
She'll be running when the bigger
cars are broke.
After all the wars are past,
And we're taken home at last,
To our reward Of which the preacher
sings,
When these ukelele sharps
Will be stunning golden harps,
And the aviators all have regular
wings.
When the Kaiser is in hell,
With the furnace drawing we'll,
Paying for his million different
kinds Of sin,
II they're running short of coal,
Show me how to reach the hole,
And I'll cast few loads down with
Hunka Tin.
Yes, Tin, Tin, Tin,
You exasperating puzzle, Hunka Tin,
I've abused you and I've flayed you,
But, by Henry Ford who made you,
You are better than Packard, Hunka

Diogenes is Dead!

And since that venerable old relic evaporated it has
become questionable for folks to stalk about with
dark-lantern looking for virtue hid under bush. In
this age of vacuum cleaners safety razors and Reno
divorces everyone is looking for the shortest cut and
the busy housewife naturally looks to the Journal
advertisements guide to her purchases instead of
personally taking inventory of all the stores in town.
That u.s. she does this if she is given chance But,
of course if the local merchants call her atten-
ton to what they have for SALE she can not be blamed
for patronzing the mail order houses and surely it
is easier to wait customer whose mind is already
made up.
Another thing: 1t was not driving necessity, but
intelligent advertising, that created the automobile
industry, and the demand for monographs. 1t is
advertising that makes beardless youth banker for
pebad socks at SOC the pair while two-for-aquarter
black ones used to be good enough &c. Mr. Merchant,
you see that by persstenty advertising, the posi-
bilities are great for creating demand for the
profitable semi-luxuries.

PUT BIG MONEY
 ON I9I7 CROPS

Spokane, Feb. 19 - Some of the biggest wheat gamblers in the county are 2O0O miles from the Chi cago pit and the Minneapolis wheat exchange and they have no private wire connecting them with any tick CT service. They are the wheat ranchers of eastern Washington, who produced about 50,0O0,O0O bushels in 1916 and 75,OOO,OOO bushels in 1915.
 Checks for $15O,O0O and $25O,0OO received by a number of ranchers for their 1916 crop have turned the ] aads of hundreds of growers and they are stalking everything on the 1917 crop. It will be one-crol year for thousands of the growers and every cent they can command will go into additional acreage, ma ch'nery and labor.
