Announcement

hereby announce myself as q
candidate for the Office of Sheriff
Of Gillian county, Oregon, on the
Democratic ticket.
1t had not been my intention
to again become a candidate for
the office, but since nearly all of
the sheriffs throughout the
United States have for over a
year made themselves familiar
with the draft law, and are now
the chairmen of the local draft
boards, the War Department of
the United States Government
has recommended that the pres
ent sheriffs OF the United States
be retained in office, so as not to
interfere with the draft machin-
cry which is 80 essential at this
time to help bring victory to US
in this great war. Many persons
who have the best interests of
our government at heart in this
crisis, have informed me that it
is my duty to retain the office for
another term. And since true
Americahism requires that every
one do not alone his bit but his
all in a time like this, | have con
cluded to again become a candi-
date. Ii | am nominated and
elected | shall accord to the pub
lie the same courteous treatmen;
in the future as in the past.

A reduction of one-half the
ordinary consumption of wheat
until after harvest must be made
as a military necessity to furnish
the armies of America and her
allies with war bread. After the
army's requirements have been
met and wheat has been set aside
for seed and other special pur-
poses, there remains an allow
ance of approximately one and one
half pounds for each person and
every bit of -four and wheat
products in every form used in

Gillian County Has Many Acres
in Grain; Prospects Are Good

ber say by three or four bushels. 1t
appears 10 be n conservative statement
TO say that the acreage in crop right
now amounts to at least 60 per cent Of
the total available acreage and this
would be l57.tl4 acres. Perhaps the
difference In the two estimates may
partly be accounted for by the fact that
the farmers have been getting in as
much spring grain az possible. How
ever. taking 90 per cent as the acreage
and the yield at twelve bushels would
give Gillian county nearly 1900. 600
bushels Of grain. This would not break
the record by any means so II may be
taken AZ fair estimate under present
conditions. ..

our Goddess from such protection.
Those who try to justify such wicked
deeds say it is all the mothers fault

closely after the daughters This may
be true in cases, but until we men can
appreciate the value of virtue and pur-

little though their vigile1ce may be
characterized by that of Rispah watch

comes from the fact that among our

and we hope that all will come to look
upon this matter in the light so beau

MORE OF THE SOUTH
Continuation of Mr.. Cheuvr0nt's
Last Weeks Letter.

Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, is
one of the most beautiful, busy cities of
the south; has a population of about
$1,000. The new state capitol is the
grandest state building have yet seer
built after the pattern Of the National
capitol at Washington. The dome is
covered with pure gold above which,
perched with outstretched wings upon
ball of gold is the great American
golden eagle, the emblem of freedom,
guarding the liberty and treasurers of
the people.
In front of the State capitol, in the
green, shady, well kept grounds, there
stands a monument dedicated to the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters
of the South. The statue is life-size
bronze, representing a beautiful middle
aged woman, more beautiful Younger
woman, holding a long leaf of the
feather palm, and man with strong
and sinewy muscles holding flag at
half mast and standing out as though
to protect the women. On each of the
four sides of the marble base there is a
tribute inscribed to the honor and men,
DRY of the mothers, wives, daughters
and sisters of the South, each being in
feeling and appropriate words The
inscription to the sisters reads as follows.
"OUR SISTERS. Their smiles inspired
hope, their tender hands soothed the
pangs of pain, their prayers encouraged
faith in God; and when the dragon OF
war closes its fangs of poison and death,
they like guardian angels entwineC
their hands in their brothers arms and
encouraged them to overcome the losses
Of war and conquer the evils in its
wake adopting as their motto Lest We
Forget"
AS my thoughts from this beautiful
tribute, Our sisters" go back to the
scene OF the negro at Monroe court
yard, | cannot do otherwise than adj

Y and virtue of the women however

reasons that our northern boys fought
