A Eugene man, Captain Walter

A letter telling real experiences at

Iugene by Mrs Martha Bennett from
her son, Captain Walter Mcclure,

battalion with only two other officers.
Following is the text of the letter:
"Our little rest that l had written
YOU was false alarm. We left the
Somme front for supposed rest and
after walking and riding for two days
were showed in the big attack just
south of Scissors. For six days we
attacked at least once a day. We
were tired when we started, poorly
equipped and short of men, but the
right time for the attack was on
hand so our best troops were needed.
We were barely able to stagger to our
last objective. We are now near
Paris and are trying to forget every
thing we did and saw.

WEIGHT RESTS ON
AMERICAN FARMER

Upon no one class rests q greater
responsibility than upon the Ameri-
can hrmer, who with his wives and
sons and daughters constitutes one
third Of our population. He has the
ffrIt and great responsibility Of pro-
viding food for the nation at home,
food for the fighting men abroad, and
food for our allies In the battle line
md their civilian population.
England, with millions Of acres of
parks and hunting grounds converted
into farms can only raise crops to
feed her people half the year. France,
with every man In uniform, and
nearly half her fields overrun By
armies, does even less.
With her grain fields extended by
millions Of acres Of new land, Ameri-
ca is responding to the call and allied
hunger will never be an ally to Ger
many. Billions of dollars OF Ameri-
cas- huge war loans are coming back
TO the farmer in payment for his
grain and stock.
The farmer, for his future honor
and standing in the nation, must see
that every penny of this sum he can
spare is re1nvested In war loans
Fhe Fourth Liberty Loan, now upon
Is, calls for but portion of what
America must spend in war efforts In
he next few months. It must be sub
scribed promptly and overwhelmingly.
That "the man who is not for us Is
against us" is as true now as when
i was written centuries ago.

when you COULD BUY a five hun

ONE OF THE "SURES."

Wyoming Is one of the seven states
which will vote upon the question OF
statewide prohibition next November.
The Republican party OF that state has
through Its central committee declared
Itself emphatically for the measure.
The resolution lndorsing prohibition
concludes with these words:
''We. the representatives OF the Re
publican party of the state of Wyom-
ing. In committee assembled. do here
and now pledge every person recelv-
Ing a nomination for any public Office
within the state OF Wyoming at our
hands, from United States senator
down TO ward constable, to the policy
of absolute prohibition and the en-
forcement of every law enacted for the
purpose of bringing about the com
plete prohibition of the manufacture,
barter and sale OF alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes"
Entirely surrounded by dry states. on
the south and west two deep. Wyoming
cannot logically remain wet. Ninety
nine per cent of the state Is already
dry under state and municipal statute.
