ade of the Elks Thursday morning, ar
rangements have been made by which
the arade will pass the Jones home at
Center and Commercial streets. Mr..
Jones is a member of the local lodge
and the committee in charge of the
parade announces that it is a great
pleasure to arrange the line of march
especially for his benefit.

Two elderly ladies, neither married

Two elderly ladies, neither married,
living on North Commercial street, re-
fused Tuesday to respond to the call of
the solicitors for the Fourth Liberty
Loan. The solicitors heard them NOV
ing around in their home, but there was
nothing doing when they called, 1t
seems that the ladies have given the
same treatment to every Liberty Loan
solicitor that has called and they have
taken no part in any Of the patriotic
contributions. As there is just a sus-
picion that something is wrong, their
names win be reported to the Federal
authorities.

Oath Of Allegiance
Part of Celebration

An oath of allegiance to be taken by
everyone present should be q. feature
of every Fourth of July celebration
this year, according to a suggestion by
Carl G.. Van Dyke, national patriotic
instructor of the United Spanish War
Veterans, to Harvey Wells, depart
ment commander for Oregon. The sug-
gestion is made that the oatn should be
administered by an ex-soldier or sailor
or sailor of the Spanish war.
The pledge of allegiance, which is in
the form adopted by the encampment
of the Department of District of Col.
umbia, United Spanish War Veterans,
held in Washington, June Is, is as fol.
lows:
In the presence of Almighty God /
sincerely pledge myself to aid my gov
ernment with all the power l possess
in the great world struggle now in
progress for the Democracy of the
World-for the independence Of the
small nations as well as the larger
ones.
AZ further pledge my life and all
my worldly goods to aid the President
of our nation in directing the Amer.

THE U. s. MARINES.

They Go not mass in millions
The soldiers of the sea,
We count 'em up in companies,
And mighty few they be.
But somehow when We read of fights
Where Uncle Sam takes part,
And hear Of deeds of gallantry
That thrills the Yankee heart,
In Cuba, in the Philippians,
In France-no matter where,
They learned their trade the while they
rolled
Upon the ocean swell,
Afar from any battlefield,
But, ahi They learned it well,
And with the brine still on thei1
cheeks,
They calmly marched ashore
And did the sort of fighting that
Will win in any war.
And when the guns are sileneed,
And the grisly game is won,
The world will thrill to hear the deeds
The leathenecks have done.
It's ten TO one that we win find
The laathernecks were there.
They always join the battle line
i little in advance,
They always seem to be the first
To get fighting chance;
And woe hetide whatever foe
That thinks greater force
VIII drive them back from where they
stand,
Or turn them from their course.
Surrender" is not in their creed.
They know what courage means.
The first to come, the last to quit
Are always the Marines.
They fought their way through little
wars,
To answer to the call
That Uncle Sam sent forth when came
The biggest war of all;
Ahi in the thick of every fight (
Against the rushing Hun
They II stand serene and confident
Gainst odds of five to one;
Aud ever when TO. crush their ranks
OIL HiRdenburg has tried,
the biggest list of casualties
We're on the other side.
