TOOK FLING AT BOOSTERS
Visitors Suggestion Probably Did Not

in Los Angeles.

Merle Sidener, local advertising
man, recently returned from West
ern trip In which he visited the city
of Los Angeles. He was impressed
with the boosting of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was tie
guest of honor mt banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dinner
speeches were made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had not
been founded on the coast. The speak
ers all said that had the city been on
the coast instead of ten miles or SO
from 1t. the city would be the garden
spot Of the world. The visiting colo
mel was called on to speak and said:
Gentlemen, I am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be-
lieve that I can suggest a way in
which you can accomplish your wish"
All Of the citizens present leaned
forward eagerly, for this was no doubt
the solution that had long been wait
ing for. The colonel continued:
"This is what you should do. OBJ

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers Joke Was All Right Until the

A well-known French colonel had q
mania for questioning his officers abou:
their families, invariably starting OF
with: "What is your fathers profes-
sion, your mothers. and your sis.
ter's" -
Some of the subalterns became SO
wearied Of this endless repetition that
they decided among themselves to give
each In turn the following reply.
my father is shoemaker, my moth.
er Is a laundress, and my sister is
very flighty."
On the following Sunday, after the
customary church parade, the colonel
who had already received the same
answer to his questions from two OF
three of the officers, turned to another
and started OF In the old stereotyped
strain: "What is your fathers profess
siOn?"
HE is shoemaker" "
"And your mother's?"
"She Is a laundress." ....,. u.
"That will do" interrupted the
colonel, II know the rest; your sis.

HEINZ'S GREAT COLLECTION

A Cavalry Contingent.

Harry Saxon, inspector fol-
the live stock sanitary board
Leslie C. Hardy, County Attor-
ney and Ed Mix, clerk of the
superior court, will entrain to
day for the training camp for
cavalry officers at Leon
Springs, Texas, with the desire
to get overseas before the Huns
reach the home base. The
gang around the court house
has arranged for Harry to bt
the leader or captain of the con
tingent, Ed, top sergeant, be
cause he has had some militar,
experience and Leslie as bucl
private because he has don
nothing all his life but practict
law. 1t will be Harry's duty t
carry the railroad tickets, Ed
to see that the meals are proviG
ed regularly and Leslie's t.
"tote" the baggage and strike
the matches when the others
wish to light a cigarette. This
arrangement does not meet with
the entire approval of the last
named major general in embryo,
but it is an established rule that
whatever the court house
crowd proclaims can not be
changed without an act of the
legislature.
There will be a large con-
course of friends at the train to
bid farewell and God speed to
the boys and hope they may
realize their ambition to get
overseas and take a hand in the
great conflict.
