HAVE DONE THINGs-AND CAN
REPEAT.

Despite comments to the contrary
the business men of ontario have
demonstrated their ability to unite
for the betterment OF the city's busi-
ness interests. During the past fall
with very little effort q committee OF
business men secured 500 for the
improvement Of roads leading to the
city.
That incident alone shows that the
city's interests are close to the hearts
OF the business men, when the need
Is properly presented.
The trouble is that practically all
OF Ontario's business men. those who
could and who do carry the burden Of
community work, are busy men. They
have their own business To attend to
before they can consider other mat
ters. A. the result that which Is
eyeryone's business has become mo-

should be- done It should make II

club should have an active paid Off

ry the burden OF detail of the work
needed. with the active support a.

COAST GUARDS SAVED DEER
Rescued Animal When It Had Broken
Through Ice, Revived It and
Set II Free.

Humanitarian activities of the coast
guard extend to the saving of wild
animal life. A deer chased by dogs
attempted to cross the ice, crashed in,
was rescued, carly done for, by the
coast guard lew OF the station at
Quonochontaug, II. l.; was taken into
the station boat and thence to the sta
ton; was worked over until 1t re-
vived, and then was set at liberty.
The tale comes In the report Of
the keeper of the station. The Incl
dent happened on the morning Of jan
uary 3, when, about ten o'clock, the
station crew sighted the deer, pursued
by dogs, crossing a marsh about a half
mile away. The hunted animal at
tempted to cross a pond on thin and
rotten ice. 1t was observed to fall
through, and try In vain to extricate
itself.
Three surfmen launched a small
skiff and reached the deer after an
hours work in breaking through the
ice. The deer was nearly dead from
its struggle in the icy water.

Some Of tho impostOrs have never

Others impersonate the men who are
In France Offering their lives In the
fight against the Germans. Sergt
Frederick linn of Battle Creek, Mich,
the famous aviator-observer, recently
received a copy of the Hood River
(Ore.) News for duly II, 1917, contain
ing story beginning: Frederick vs..
linn, an American who has seen active
service in the aviation corps OF the al
lied armies in Erspce, spent several
days last week ia Hood River, and
those VINO met him were thrilled by his
stories Of aerial combat In the war
zone. Mr.. linn came west to find a
half brother and sister, from whom ne
has become separated since he went
to Europe. He traced them to Port
land, and was told there that they had
been adopted by Hood River family"
The article goes on ut length and
gives some personal details about Ser
geant linn which the impostor prob
ably cleaned from news reports. The
real Sergeant linn has no half broth
ers or sisters. He returned to France
from short leave in America last
March.

CAL, tells of Richard L. Bryner, who
is referred to as lieutenant and the
