INSTRUCTION BOARD
WILL Be ORGANIZED
Government Orders New
Board to Cooperate With
Local Draft Board.
PendletOn Girl Overseas.

The local draft board has received
"A circular from the adjutant general
calling the attention of the board to
special Instructions for the organiza-
tion of "Board of instruction" and
order to proceed with such organizas
ton at once.
The duty of this new board is to
work in cooperation with the local
draft board and look after the in
struction OF men in the draft. This
instruction is to cover so far as pos
sible such matters as will be of great
est benefit to the rookie when he en-
ters the army, and will cover such
subjects as the making of allotments
for care of dependents while in the
war. insurance. and other matters in
which all draftees leaving Pendieton
have ben lectured heretofore before
departing for the various camps.
WIFI Have Military instruction.
The board II is also understood, is
to give military instruction to the
draft men. This last is what the
Umatilla county guard has been doing
all summer and has extended at all
times welcome for men going in the
draft where a special effort is madc
TO instruct them in what Is to be ex-
pected of them when they reach
camp.
In every instance. men who have
had this training with the guards
have found it to their advantage on
arriving at the training camp. They
are generally selected as corporals or
sergeants.
1t Is felt here that the organization
of the instruction board will make
little change, as all who have been
called from here have received such
instruction or had the opportunity to
do so, but 1t will have the effect of
putting, the Instruction in the hands
of the local draft board.

r. e. Allen OF the First National
bank. presided at the meeting and
showed the medals received by Pri-
vate O'Rourke and read the official
orders comforting them and citing the
acts OF bravery for which they had
been received. Mr.. Allen declared
that it was an additional source OF
pride to know that Private o'Rourkc
was an American.
As preliminary to Private
O'Rourke's address his comrade. Mr.
Noble, of the Canadian army made
a brief speech IN which he likened
the war to a bull fight. Germany is
the bull England and France are the
mateadors who taunt the bull into
frenzy, and America is the torreador
who will give him his death wound.
Mr.. Mobiles address was heartily
applauded. but the audience hung
spell bound upon O'Rourke's words
and would not interrupt them with
applause.

cular wooden, vessel which each soldier
carried and used for water. Thus, all
though the term has now been extended
to embrace place of refreshment set
aside in every army post, wherever prac-
tieable, for the use OF the rank and nile
of the troops "canteen originally
meant an article of equipment. AS such,
it varies in the different armies; but it
flask or bottle, having an average capa-
city of quart. In the British army, this
specific article is actually called water
bottle, while the canteen part of the
equipment comprises a combination of
pan, dish. and plate constructed of tin,
covered, when not in use, with a thin
leather material and carried, on the
march, strapped to the pack or waiStbelt.
Apart from this equipment, there is also
attached to each regiment the canteen or
place Of refreshment and, in addition,
the so-called garrison canteen. A sep
arate institution is installed in the bar
racks for recreation 1t includes Ii
hrary. supplied with standard and current
literature.
In the United States, the word canteen
has been replaced Officially by the term
post exchange, an institution intended to
combine teh advantages OF gymnasium
and reading and recreation rooms. There
are also in the post exchange co-opera-
tive stores and restaurants, including
lunch counters, where non alcoholic beV-
erages are sold. The primary purpose of
the institution is to furnish the troops; at
reasonable prices, with articles not sup
piled by the government and to afford
them means of recreation and amuse-
ment. When the exchange is~free from
debt, the net profits are distributed among
the various organizations for the main
tenance of athletic teams and other au-
thori2ed necessities and ainusernents. The
sale of intoXicants has been prohibited at
the post exchanges since 1891, as the re-
suit OF the progress and growth of a tenn
perance sentiment within the army The
ordinance establishing forced temper
ance IN the army represented nothing less
than a revolution. As long ago as the
second session of Congress-, provision was
made for half gill of rum, brandy or
whisky to be supplied to each soldier,

aroused against the continuance of the

first applied in the army The original
Italian word, cantina, it is true, meant a
