CARE RATHER THAN SPEED

~ HE plan of having an
VI Honor Week prior to the
opening of the fourth
Liberty loan is particularly
timely in view of the fact that
conditions this year call for
care rather than speed in max
ing up Umatilla county's quota.
There are people who have
been going the limit in the way
of war obligations; others in
affluent circumstances have not
done as much as they should.
There are portions of the
county where the people have
extended themselves; there are
other sections where past sub
scriptions have not been made
with such zeal.
There are portions of the
county where the farmers have
but broken even this year. In
other sections good crops have
been garnered.
All these things have a bear
ing on the ability of people to
make purchases and must be
considered. The task is not
merely to take the county's
quota of bonds on schedule
time but to so distribute the
burden as to work a minimum
of hardship, leaving the county
as a whole in the best possible
shape to handle necessary bus
iness and with a reserve for
other drives which will come
before another crop is harvest
ed.
Honor Week, during which
people may make their sub
scriptions voluntarily through
their bankers should help i'm
mensely in handling the coming
loan on a basis of equity and
the highest patriotism.

DON'T KILL CARRIER PIGEONS

Killing of carrier pigeons belong
ing to the United States Army is
seriously interfering with that
airy Taylor. According to the
authorities in charge, many pigeons
branch of the training at Camp Zach
have been lost within the last few
weeks Only a few days ago, seven
pigeons were turned loose at West
Point, KY, eighteen miles from the
Camp. OF these, only two returned
to the pigeon loft, and both OF these
we're seriously injured by shot gun
wounds. The officers in charge be-
lieve that none ofthis shooting is
with intent to kill the Government
pigeons but as one officer expressed
it, "Is simply an example of the
thoughless boy with a shot gum
Carrier pigeons are of vital
importance in modern warfare
said Major Clarence A. Dougherty,
saith Division Signal officer, under
whose Jurisdiction falls the work of
training the pigeons. "They carry
messages when other means fail and
it is very important that each Divi-
sion have a we'll trained crop. 1t is
earnestly requested that people re-
| frain from shooting carrier pigeons.
Inasmuch as it is quite impossible
for the ordinary person to distingu-
ish between carrier pigeon and
other types of pigeon, it is asked that
they be very careful in shooting
any kind of pigeon.
Very often thecarrier pigeons
will stop to rest at strange lofts
Persons who discover these pigeons
should examine them carefully and
see that they are not carrier pigeons
before getting rid of them. Each
pigeon owned by the Government
has a small band on the leg marked
u. S. A. 49, When any pigeon
with this marker be found dead, il
is requested that the band be taken
from the leg and mailed to the Di'
vision Signal officer, Camp Zachary
Taylor, KY"
Major Dougherty said that legis
lation was being passed to make it
federal offense to kill the carrier
pigeon, but in the meantime he is ap
, pealing to persons living within the
vicinity of the Camp, to be very care
full to see that no harm comes t.
them.
