Poem

We thank Thee Father
Dear God to Thee we come,
With humble heart felt thanks,
To ask Thy blessing on our sons
Now filling up the ranks.
We thank Thee Father for their love
Their true and honored worth,
Grant them Thy blessing from above,
Protect and keep them In Thy love,
We plead who gave them birth.
God OF our fathers ever just
They are our sons You know
They have no malice In their hearts,
They have Just gone to do their part
Against cruel foe.
We thank Thee for these sons
dear God
The while our hearts are torn;
Crush Thou tho tyrant in his power.
Hasten! Oh hasten that glad hour
For which Thy Son was born.
Then we can sing the Angel Song
That come from Heaven to earth,
The "Peace on Earth. Good Will to
Men"
That announced Thy Dear Sons
Birth;
Father, We Mothers thank Thee.

SILETZ

The following program was render
ed Sunday at II o'clock A. M, in the
Methodist Church in honor of the boys |
who have enlisted in the army from
this part of the county-eleven white
and twelve Indian boys. Their names
and the company to which they be-
long and their location SO far as
known were neatly written on a card
board with a star to represent each
name by Fred Wygant and placed on
the wall with the American flag. The
flag was so arranged on pulley with
a cord attached that at the proper
time 1t could be raised and the names
exposed to the full view Of the audi
ence. This was very impressive. The
church was packed to the wall with
the parents and friends Of the SOL
dier boys who have dedicated their
lives for the good of their country
and the welfare Of humanity. A num-
ber of Uncle Sans soldiers in uniform
were present and took part in the
meeting. These soldiers belong to
the aviation corps and are here to
help survey and build the roads into
the spruce belt to get material to aid
in conquering the autocratic military
power of Germany that has undertake
en- the task of destroying the liber-
ties OF the world and the hope Of
humanity. Captain Miller of the U. S.
army was to have delivered the prin-
cipal address but he was detained at
one of the Spruce Camps and did not
get back in time. This was a great
disappointment to the audience as
they were anxious to hear the story
from an army officer who had the ex
perience and knew what is going on
in this great world war. Rev. Walter
Ross. pastor Of the church acted as
master of ceremonies and presided
during the meeting. Program: Song
America, by the audience; Invocation
by Rev. John Adams, local ministe
who has two sons in the army, one o
them at the front in France; Song

sand times7 love you. Not a. =
subject may adore his princess. but
as man loves q woman"
She drew herself up. "Lovel" she
said. " do not call that love-"
1T Is greater love than you know"
said poor Milky. But all his courage
died moment later, and his resolution
with 1t, for without warning Hedwig
dropped her head on her hands and,
crouching forlornly, fell to sobbing.
II counted on you" she, said wildly.
"And you are like the others. No one
cares how wretched am. I wish I
might die"
Then indeed Milky was lost. In an
instant he was on his knees beside
her, his arms close about her, his head
bowed against her breast. And He'd
wig relaxed to his embrace. When at
last he turned and looked up at her,
1t was Hedwig who bent and kissed
him.
"At least" she whispered, I'VE have
had this. We can always remember.
whatever comes, that we have ha0
this" |
But Milky was Of very human stuff
and not the sort that may live By
memories. He was very haggard
when he rose to his feet-haggard, and
his mouth was doggedly set. II will
never give you up, now" he said.
Brave words, of course. But as hd
said them he realized their futility.
The eyes he turned on her were, as
he claimed her, without hope. For
there was no escape.
Hedwig, with shining eyes, was ale
ready planning.
1--WE will go away, Milky" she said.

Attention, Girl Graduates

The Bulletin Board of Fashion calls
J to special notice the use of organdy for
commencement week-white for the
graduation exercises, lavender, rose,
maize, French blue and other dainty
colors for class day and special events
of the last days of school
+. Crisp, dainty, cool and youthful II is
particularly adapted to such uses and
IS quite rivaling the popularity of cot
ton wolfe. For its finish 1t looks to
special unusual trimmings such as
turic of taffeta, a girdle of velvet RIB
bon, sash of organdy or plating
of the material picot edged Lace has
been quite set aside for the more sim
pie forms of hnish-those that especi-
ally give the air of quaintness to the
whole costume.
The colors are luscious-no other
word quite describing their daintiness
and delcacy.
Most models are made In surpEee
style with tunic skirts, and softly held
to the waistline with narrow girdle OF
velvet ribbons caught together with q
bouquet of French flowers
Speaking OF combining these dainty
frocks to the waistline makes one
realize that if they are to look right
and hang correctly the figure must be
faultless. There is only one way to
accomplish that-have the corset Tight
In style and correctly fitted and the
brassiere selected to suit the corset and
the figure. To-day there is no figure
too slim, OF too girlish, that it does not
REQUIRE correct corseting. Answering
the demands Of Fashion there are now
special corsets for young girls. The
once popular corset waist has been set
aside for the youthful corset lightly
honed but built to mold the young
girls figure to graceful stylish outline.
These corsets are usually made OF soft
satin, or a webbing that is pliable yet
. firm enough to stand good wear. In
style they are much ike the sports
eirdle, coming just ar, inch or two
above the waistiine. There is bonine
front and back and usually but one OF
two bones at the side. Then the bras
siere favored by young girls IS IN
bandeau style boned under the arms
and fastening in the back. It is gen
orally of some soft material such as
crepe de chine, washable satin, linen OF
a firmly woven mesh. The form fitting
styles are not suited to young girls, fol
although the figure is corseted witt
lcorset and brassiare the effect must b.
of youthfulness and suppleness. PM
is now quite the favored color for botl
corsets and brassieres and really 1t i
more practical than white as it doe
not soil 80 easily.
Consider these things then in plan
ming your commencement dresses AM
don't forget the shoes and stoelings

WATER AROUND NEW DAM.

Flood Causes cave-lns al Ends Of Con-
srets Structure.
The high water Of hate last week
which Tor the first time, went over the
new concrete dam built to protect TIT
city water supply main, caused the
soil at both ends of the dam to give
way and cave in The damage is not
serious, and members Of the council
were inclined to minimize the actual
damage done or the danger that the
water would subsequently cut around
the dam. The damage was repaired by
filling the breaks with brick bats and
stone, which Is expected to prevent a
repetition Of the damage. 1t must be
remembered, however. that the river in
this period Of high water was not
nearly as high as it often gets during
flood seasons
