most stupendous activity in which
human kind has engaged since the

as follows: Russian army, 17,000.-

MONEY FOR SEED

We are in receipt Of letter from
a subscriber near Selma in which
he says: y
1T is not the lack OF knowledge
or patriotism which keeps the farm
ers of Josephine county from putting
in all their land in crops, but the
lack Of seed and horse feed. am
not only speaking for myself but
for others / know who are in the
same boat without any paddles.
"I bought wheat and vetch at
three and one-half cents per pound
and seeded twenty odd acres and
have a good stand. Have also plant
ed beans, corn and potatoes. I
could put in Is acres more Of my
choicest soil in beans and corn but
have not the seed nor hay and
grain for work horses. I am saving
$500 per day by turning the horses
out in pasture. My neighbor has
25 acres Of fine soil for beans or
corn, but he has no seed nor horse
feed"
The letter was referred to the
Chamber Of Commerce which
promptly took steps to meet the con-
dition. The banks are ready to
finance any such farmer to a rea-
sonable and deserving extent. and
have so advertised. We believe the
writer af this letter will find his
troubles solved by acquainting the
county agricultural agent with the
facts, and the calling on one OF the
Grants Pass banks. The Chamber
Of Commerce has asked tn agricul
tural council to notify 1t OF any suci
cases which II considers me-ltoriou
and will endeavor to see that II

OESERTER APPEARS,
THEN LEAVES AGAIN
BOARD LOOKING FOR JOHN
JACOB HUHTA-BERNIE
WHITE REPORTS.

An "Off agin, on agin, gone again,
Finnegan" sort of record is
ascribed by the local draft board to
one John Jacob Huhta, former EN-
ploye of local shipyard, wanted as
a deserter from the county's first
draft call, whose case the board Fri.
day morning put in the hands of Cap.
tain Irving w. Zieghaus, who has
charge of all the draft operations in
the state.
About the time his brother Emil,
billed as Stacker" from this coun-
ty for failure to report for physical
examination when notified, appeared
before the local board at Astoria,
Ore, was accepted and went to Camp
Lewis, John Jacob also showed up.
Both claimed they had not received
the notices. The latter also passed
the physical examination there and
the local board, upon receiving such
notice from Astoria. instructed the
board there to send him on to camp.
The Astoria board replied then
that they could not locate John Jacob
and the local board instructed them
to search for him and arrest him.
Failing to hear anything further
Thursday, the local board certified
his name to Captain Zieghaus and
the military authorities will now
take up the hunt.
Another local boy, Bernie White,
classed also as deserter for failing
to report for duty with one of the
contingents sent to Camp Lewis on
the first call, put in appearance
Wednesday and went over to the
camp Thursday morning. White, ac-
companied by his wife, to whom he
was married shortly before he was
due to report for duty at the camp,
called at the sheriff's Office and said
he had failed to receive the notice.
White told the authorities that for
two weeks after he left here he
worked on the cantonment construc-
tion at Camp Lewis and that for the
rest Of the time he had been working
at different places throughout the
state, not remaining long at any one.

LEVEE RECOVERING
FROM AUTO M|SHAP
LOCAL STAGEDRIVER CRASHES
INTO AN UNLIGHTED WAGON,
LOADED WITH WOOD.

Fred Levee, proprietor of the Ex-
celsior Motorcycle & Bicycle Shop
near Fourth and Main streets, who
was seriously injured when the auto
mobile he was driving crashed into
a wagon load of wood on the Pacific
highway near Lacey last Saturday
evening, recovered SO rapidly at St.
Peters hospital, where he was taken
for treatment, that he was removed
to his home Thursday.
Riding in the car with Levee were
several soldiers and one civilian,
Levee having been engaged that day
in operating his machine for hire to
bring the boys over from Camp
Lewis on their regular weekend hol-
iday. Levee was the only one Sc
riously injured, though one of the
soldiers was knocked "silly" for a
while and battered up some, another
was cut about the head, and the
civilian, Charles A. Schmidt of
Chambers Prairie, was also cut and
bruised.
The occupants of the car agreed
that the accident was due to the fact
that the loaded wagon. standing
directly in the way of traffic on the
pavement, bore no lights. In the
pouring down rain late Saturday af-
ternoon the wagon was not seen by
any of the autoists for but just a
second before the crash. All agreed
that If the car had not been travelling
at reasonable speed. the injuries
would have been much more serious.
AS it was, Levee had a hole gouged
in his forehead, between the eyes.
was otherwise badly cut and bruised
about the nose and face, and bat
tered about the body. His injuries
at first were thought more serious
than they later developed to be upon
examination at the hospital. where
he, one of the soldiers and Schmidt
were Immediately taken for treat
ment.

trial section of Olympia by Saturday

This figure does not include mem

so there is no allowance for member
ships obtained throughout the resi-
Dental section of Olympia or the va
rious communities of the county.
The campaign committee has no re-
ports from these sections.

desired by the committee for Thurs

tricts respond as heartily as the com,

of 5000 members will be reached

tee, emphasizes the fact. however
that it will only be through the per.

MERCHANTS RESPOND
TO NATIONS GALL
WORK OUT PLANS FOR APPLICA.
TION OF WAR TINE
ECONOMY HERE.

Thurston county merchants, act
ing upon the recommendation of the
government transmitted through the
State Council of Defense, have held
two meetings during the past week
to work out plans for the application
of war time economy to their busi-
nesses, principally through earlier
closing, the establishment of transac-
tons on a 3O-day credit basis, and the
elimination of all waste.
At their last meeting Wednesday
evening. Olympia's business men en-
dorsed the general plan of organiza-
tion and each line of business select
ed onesof it's number as member of
an organization committee, of which
F. G. Blakeslee is chairman, under
appointment from Geo. A. Mottman
whom the State Council of Defense
named to perfect the organization in
Thurston and Mason counties. The
local Committee on Commercial
Economy is the official title of the
organization.
Thes organization committee pro-
poses TO proceed Immediately and
call upon all local business men, en-
list them if possible in the movement
and work out various details as to
closing hours. The State Councils
recommendation is for 6 O'Clock
closing every evening including Sat
urday, sand this has already been &C.
ceptedsby most of the stores.
While 1t is realized by the local
leaders in the movement that a uni
form enforcement of this recon-
mends Jon might work hardship on
a NUM- Der of firms, it is pointed out
that canges are proposed by the gov.
|ernhsg0 to meet war49opditions and
merchants should organize their
business to conform to them. The
organization committe plans to have
everything worked out SO that the
new system can be put into effect
after the first of the year.
Quite a number of merchants from
Tenino, Yelm and other towns of the
county Joined with the local business
men in their first meeting, at the city
hall last Friday evening. Mr.. Mott
man presided and presented the gen.
eral idea and the recommendations
Of the government. Mason county
merchants were invited to attend this
meeting, but were not able to do So
and Mr.. Mottman has had confer
ences with them this week.

Farragut Avenue Plan Stopped.


Improvement of Farragut avenue
by extending it to connect with West
Bay avenue, was abandoned by the
city council Tuesday evening upon
the recommendation of City Attorney
Bigelow, who declared that the
amounts allowed Messrs. Helenius
and Mottman for their property in
the recent condemnation proceedings
were excessive. The council, how
ever, voted to proceed with the West
Bay avenue improvement, by grad
ing, draining and graveling the
street and constructing sidewalks.
and set January Is as the date for
the hearing of protests.
