PARIS, Nov. S.-The only decora tions worn by Private Luke Thayer Jr., of the United States Marines up to two years ago were those re- ceived about his optics when he set tied his disputes in the good old Yan kee way.
 Today, Luke who is a trifle over nineteen years old, wears three cam. paign ribbons, Croix de Guerre with a palm, two wound stripes and service in France.
 Incidentally he is wearing half a dozen scars from Boche shrapnei and bullets.
 Luke is the son of the Chief of Police at Georgetown, Pa. He was living at 1707 Arch Street, Phila- delphia when recruiting poster caught his eye and he decided to see the world through the medium of the U. s. Marine Corps travel agen cy By stretching his five feet six to the full limit and by looking the recruiting officer in the eye without blushing while he swore he was within the legal age limit for enlist ing. Luke got into the Soldiers of the Sea-"
 The story of Luke's adventures since that date came out in this city, when, while convalescing in a large military hospital, he got per mission to visit the headquarters of the Knights of Columbus so that he could obtain free smokes and enter tainment. He got both and got his story.
 Within few months after Luke enlisted he earned his first cam paign ribbon by helping to impress the might of Uncle Sam on some of the natives of San Domingo. A jaunt to Haiti was next in order when he acquired another ribbon. It was at Belleau Wood that Luke earned the right to wear the war cross with a palm. A detachment of the Marines was with a French regi ment at the time. On a little hil i lock well camouflaged by clump ol bushes, two German machine guns were splitting death into the ranks of the French and the Marines Twelve volunteers were called for tc storm the two nests, and Luke was one of the twelve.
 The twelve divided into two bod | ies, but of the five with Luke only one got as far as the objective witf him. Tho others were either killed

REINDEER ARE
 BEING RAISED
 IN BIC HERDS
Musher Tells About a Trip to GoodneWs Bay and the Mining Opera
 tionS There.

The raising of reindeer by the Natives of the Seward Peninsula is fast becoming a great industry and it should pot be many years until the Natives are self-supporting, is the news brought by E. L. Muir, who has just returned from trip to Good News Bay and is now pas senger on the southbound steamship, says the Cordova Herald
 The strike made last year on Wa ter Moose Creek about 20 miles from Good News Bay MT. Muir says, is proving to be rich one, although small. The pay starts at the mouth of a small canyon where the creek is only ten feet wide but it broad ems out greatly below. Over $1o,- 900 was taken out, he declared, when he left in July, which represented only a months work by less than 20 men, and the real mining was not supposed to be started. Last year after the strike was made a few men working on Discovery and Number One Above took out $12,00C in less than a month. But MT Muir does not believe it will ever be big camp because the high grade ground is not extensive.
 MT. Muir declares he left Seldov ia last March on the trip to Good News Bay. He took II dogs with Jim. He crossed Cook Inlet in a gasoline boat and this trip, which 9rin"r'ly takes eight hours, consumed sire~days. as the boat got in the ice and could not make shore. The boat finally landed in Iliamna Bay and he started out with his dog team. After many hardships he reached his destination. There he found the stock of provisions very short and after short prospecting trip started for home. He had for 'unately picked up two reindeer iron an Indian near Good News Bay trading his dogs for the animals an( bonus. The reindeer he used tt pack his supplies on the prospecting trip.
 When he left the camp at the Ba, he took the reindeer to Togial where there is government school The teacher promised to send thu animals to Ilamna later in the yea when a Government herd was to bt sent to that place.

 When San Antonio began filling with soldiers two years ago, the cry went up that exorbitant prices were being asked by restaurants. hotels ,rooming houses and cloth iers.
 To offset these conditions. leading merchants called meeting and f1nal- ly organized the association. The price-nxing board Is composed of representative merchants and army officers, and in almost every in- stance 50 far the prices have been established in accordance with the wishes of the military members of the committee.
 Fixing of prices that could be charged by hotels and rooming houses, which were carefully classi- fled, was the first work of the com mittee. Then restaurant prices were regulated and later the prices charged by lesser industries were in- vestigated.
 Now 1t Is announced moving pic- ture theatres will reduce their prices, the 25 cents tickets to be sold for 15 cents, and the 30 cents | ticket for 20 cents.
