EDITOR REGRETS SUS-
PENSION OF PAPER

Roger W. Moe, who was called to
Camp Lewis in recent draft, writes
that he has passed his physical exam
nations and has been definitely mus
tered into the service as member of
the National Army. Since Mr. Noes
departure it has been decided to sus-
pend publication of the Bulletin, issued
temporarily from the office of his
father, "A d. Moe, publisher of the
Hood River Glacier, since the young
mans departure. The editor soldier
expresses sincere regret that such
course will be necessary, and in his
letter he congratulates Mosier citizens
on their spirit of cooperative patriot
ism. Mr. Moe says:
IL am sorry that it has become nee
essary to stop publication of the Bul-
letin. certainly would have enjoyed
being in Mosier Monday to participate
in that rally in celebration of winning
the first honor flag in the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district. Mosier has an
unrivaled cooperative spirit, and when
those patriotic men and women start
out for any honOrs they usually get
them, the first and highest awards. -
Mr.. Moe has become enthusiastic in
his work of becoming a soldier.
This afternoon, he writes, 1--WE
had long lecture, given by Maj. Cal
vim S. White. who for so many years
was head of the Oregon Health Bu-
reau. He is very able and fluent
speaker and we all listened eagerly to
his talk on health, hygiene and various
disea' es.
81 wish that you could drop in while
we are at the big ~ auditorium which
holds about 5000, and hear us when
a lieutenant leads in the practice of
marching songs. When one stops to
listen it seems as though we would
fairly pull the nails out of the boards
| The big auditorium is about two miles
from our barracks. 1t seems quite a
distance on the march down by com.
fpanies But coming back we start in
on those songs, and we return in what
seems a very short time This lieuten.
ant has drilled good many soldiers,
and has been behind the lines in
France. All he does, understand, is
to take charge of the singing of sol
diers when they are marching. 1t GER
tainly develops a great spirit and
drives away all aches and pains and
that tired feeling that develops after
hours of drilling. And it keeps up the
morale.
I'VE sure had some great ball game
between the l66th Depot Brigade team
and the 9lst division this evening.
The score was 80 in favor of the
Brigade team. Dutch Reuben, of the
/ Brigade, was the hero of the hour. He
formerly pitched for Portland in the
Pacific Coast League was with them
last year. In the fourth inning, with
two men on bases, he plunked out a
home run. Walter Mails, who was
also with Portland and later with Sc
attic, pitched for the 9lst Division
team. 1t was good game and some
great plays were executed.
Last night several companies of
the Depot Brigade got together for an
open air entertainment. We had ev.
erything from instrumental solos, quar-
tets and solos to monologues and some
of the best stunts | have ever seen.
We have several Orpheum headliners,
as we'll as movy stars.
Tomorrow | get my third shot for
typhoid fever. My vaccination is com
ing very we'll, but my arm is still
somewhat sore. F"
Mr.. Moe says he would be mighty
glad to hear from all of his Mosier
friends, as letters are always welcome
at camp. His address is: Pvt. Roger
W. Moe, 9th Co., 7th Battalion, l66tt
Depot Brigade, Camp Lewis, Wash.
