REVELATIONS FROM THE
DAYS BEFORE GREATNESS
WAS THRUST UPON THEM
(Clytlc HalI.)

CCytlc Han.)

Like Al Roberts, John Vaughan
thought stage-driying Was- ona--4sfs-tlle
gTandest ''perfessions" I'm the world
when he was kid. Only he realized
his ambition and kept at the business
until the glory part gall faded away
and he came to the conclusion that
the more he handled horses the less
he got for IT. So he quit and soon
after started his present method of
getting rich. But we're getting ahead
of the lad who wanted to he a stage
driver because he loved horses and
because his father drove stage.
John first came to Pendleton in
1888, when he was IL years old. He
is native Oregonian. having been
born near Portland, but his folks lat
er moved across the ferry to Van
couver. Wash, and 1t was there that
the family came to Umatilla county.
The father. Miller Vaughan, drove
Stage between Umatilla and La
Grande and between Pendleton
and Ukiah. when one town was
about as big as tine next and
none of them subjects for boasting.
John got his first real job when
he was &c when he carried the mail
from Heppner to Echo. Later. he
drove stage from Arlington to Hepp-
mgr, then ne went to Wyoming and
drove for C. c. Mccoy on the old
Douglas Custer route. His mother
died when he was II years old. Re-
turning to Pendleton, the boy drove
fire engine for awhile. and after
ward went to work for the lectric
light company. He opened an elec-
trical fixture store for himself in
1903 in the old Tribune building on
West Court street. Then he moved
to the building next to the Hotel Pen
dleton where he held forth for five
or six years, moving to his present
location on East court street last
December.
Mr.. Vaughan has been acting may
or OF the city Of Pendleton since last
October when DR.. Cnow Captain) J,
\. Best secured leave Of absence and
enlisted in the I. 5. army medical
corps.
For all OF his bashful look, Mayor
Vaughan once got M courage to pop
the question and he and Miss ELLA
Mcconnell were married in April Of
1899. He denied there having heen
anything especially romantic about
his. .courting but tell-tale smile ac-
ccmpanied the denial

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for CSC, or
extra large bottle at Sl.00
Zemo generally removes pimples, black
heads blOtcheS eczema, ard ringworrn
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean. penetrating, antiseptic
liquid. neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. It is easily applied and costs a
mere trifie for each application. It Is
always dependable.

SAYS GERMANS MAY READ THEIR DOOM IN
 TANKS SPIRIT
London Paper Declares Trans port of Americans Across the Ocean Within Week Quicker Than We Dared Hope For"

London, June 5.-"Few communi- ques issued by the French command have contained a statement more vital to the ultimate issue of the battle than those references to the soldiers of America in action," writes the military correspondent of the Daily Express.
 Commenting editorially on the situ- ation, the same newspaper says
 "The Germans may read their cer- tain doom in the spirit and skill of the Americans in the fight at Veuilly During the past week the transport of American troops across the Atlantic has been quicker than we dared to hope for. Better still, the quality of the officers and men has astounded the most competent military judges.
 Germany will find herself in the last great fight faced by troops equal to the best Europe has ever pro- duced."
 The part played by American ma chine gunners in the defense of the Chateau Thierry bridges is classed by Reuters correspondent at French headquarters as worthy to stand with the achievements of the American in- fantry recently at Cantigny. He adds:
 Against their casualties the Amer jeans can set much greater loss in- flicted by their bullets on the enemy. They have borne their full part in what a French staff officer we'll quail fled to judge, described as one of the finest feats of the war"
 In addition to the present battle, American troops are actively engaged on four sectors and preparing to enter the front line on fifth--Flanders.
 Northwest of Foul, east of Lune- vile, north of St. Mihiel, along the Mouse, and west of Montdidier in Picardy, General Pershing's men had given good account of themselves before the entrance of American units into the fighting east and west of Chateau Thierry.
 Premier Clemenceau has told the French chamber of deputies that the future depends on American help.

 The point of his most pronounced advance on the southern end of this h,,lre is Troesnes, northeast of La Ferte Milon, while the northern point of the bulge is at Moulin-Sous-Tou- vent. northwest of Soissons.
 Between these two points the Ger mans have brought forward much of their artillery and local operations, in which infantry and machine gunners are engaged, are almost incessant. North of the Aisne, as we'll as to the southward. every attempt of the Ger mans in the last few days to make progress has been frustrated as soon
The Prescott daily news., 1918-06-06

as 1t was begun. The allies even have been able to improve their positions at some points.
 This was the case between Courcy and Long Pont today. Here the op- posing lines run along the edge of the forest of Villers- Cotterets, into which the Germans are trying to obtain an entry. In the meanwhile the Germans have assaulted several times unsuc- cessfully.
 From this vicinity they have been bombarding La Ferte lion, but have been unable to break down the barrier of allied resistance and have been subjected to very heavy losses. Their object seems to be the envelopment of the allied troops occupying the bulge or forcing them to fall back.
