JOIN THE " NJ G.

DR.. Mills handed us a letter this
week which we are printing in full
for the benefit of our readers. II has
been known for sometime in Clayton
that DR.. Mills had made application
to the Army Y. NJ. C. Al. for over
sea duty. Not withstanding the
fact that he had all the recommenda-
tiOns necessary for any man. his
application has been declined for
the reason that he is over the age
limit. While we are sorry that
DR.. Mills was not accepted in the
Army Y. NJ. C. A., but we are glad to
have him remain with US.
The letter is as follows:

JOHN DARLEYCORN LAID AWAY
WITH FITTING CEREMONY

Monday, the last day of September
and the last day of Mr.. John Barley
Corn in Clayton was celebrated in
a glorious manner People were
busy all day visiting the two lonely
saloons on Main street getting a
farewell drink and saying adios to
the boys as they were passing over
The bar their last few drinks OF
liquor.
Z We were advised late in the af-
ternoon by one of the saloon keep
Iers that the Republican party of
Union County had taken advantage
of their last opportunity to get a
supply of campaign liquor. I, He
stated that the Republican party had
already purchased quite q stock and
wanted to know what was the mat
ter with the Democrats that they
had not secured a supply of the
vote-getting poison. We replied
that the Democrats would vote this
fall in a dry state and would make
a dry campaign. If the Republican
party wanted to use whiskey it
would be their own downfall.
MIR. Voter beware of the office
seeker who will try to influence
your opinion with a mere drink o.
whiskey.

There was little confusion on &C.
count of the misunderstanding of
some in regard to the organizations
of the Local Community Councils Of
Defense, some people having the
idea that the school directors were
the members of the local Councils
of Defense and the faot is they were
until the elections that took place
on Pershing bay.
For the information, of. all concern
ed we quote. the following paragraph
from Mr.. Springer's letter.
1T is the right of the people of
the several communities under this
call to organize such Community
Councils by the election of such Di-
rectors as they deem bEst. ltis the
intention that meetinbs be called in
each of the districts hnd that the
people shall come together and elect
certain citizens of the community. as
the Directors of the Community
Council of Defense. 1t is, of course
proper that they should select mem
bers of the School Board for this
purpose if they desire to do so, but
the plan adopted for the OrganiZa-
tion of these Community Councils Is
as stated above, that the people shall
select the representatives who are
10, act as directors of the Community
Councils of Defense the persons
elected on Pershing Day in the sew
eral districts"
The Fourth Liberty Loan is go
ing along splendidly, and Mr.. Owens
is absolutely certain that Union
County will go "over the top" All
it needs is some good hard work.
Let allconcerned take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.

Oregon's vet remaining quota to be
raised in the second draft is 545S men.
Official announcement of this figure
has been made from the War Depart
ment in Washington.
In the first draft. Oregon's net quota
was III men. Since the filling of this
quota, the state has furnished in vari.
Gus draft calls total Of 1861 men.

states that all these men will be cred

Small Securities Chairman Vaughan
is Confident of Success

With all Hood River merchants and
district committeeman, appointed bv
Chairman Vaughan, leading, a cam
palgn has been launched to pledge the
sale Of Sl30, 600 worth of War Savings
Stamps in this county during June.
Mr.. Vaughan says that he is confident
that he Will be able to report to state
headquarters before July l that the
county has reached the goal. To date
$50, 600 worth of the small securities
have been sold here.
Hood River county has exceeded
every quota IN the raising of Liberty
Loans and other war funds" saws Mr.,
Vaughan, ''and we are determined that
we shall not be tagging in the sale of
War Stamps.
81 know that all of the orchardists
and business men of the city and val
ley are exceedingly busy at the present
time, but they should also realize that
We who are engaged in this war work
are even buster than they. We would
appreciate it if all would learn before
hand just what they propose to pledge,
SO they will be prepared to sign up at
once. Il would facilitate matters if
pledgers would learn over the telephone
points at which they could make their
pledges, and then act accordingly.
While the per capita quota is 500, it
will be necessary for those who are
able to buy several hundred dollars
worth of stamps, since many will be
limited to smaller purchases. All
school districts have been given re-
vised quotas, based on population and
assessed valuation.
Mr.. Vaughan calls attention to the
fact that the nation has figured the
81, 600, GOO, 900 War Savings Stamp al
lotment in its budget. If the securi-
ties are not sold, it will be necessary
to raise the funds by taxation.

COLD WEATHER CUTS
BERRY CROP SHORT

While the straw wberry crop Is of the
best quality, the protracted cool wealth
er will cut the yield 10 so per cent Of

Salmon and Underwood districts report
that the cold weather has taken an
even heavier toll.
Despite the chilly weather of the

jointly, will be sold to a North Dakota
concern, who distribute the berries
through the Rocky Mountain and north
middle western states.
George +. Crum, member of the Da-
kota commission firm, who is Just back
from California, where he participated
extensively in the Fl0rin berry deal,
is optimistic over prices for fruits.
The chief worry for all fruit interests,
he saws. is possible car shortage.

HORRIBLE To- THINK ABOUT
Private Would Much Rather Have
Gone "Over. the Top" Than Tell
Girl She Wouldn't Do.

Solomon and Socrates have nothing
on the welfare worker. He is in a
class by himself as vendor of gen.
eral information and advice. The
united war work campaign of the
seven welfare agencies is introducing
him to popular approval in his full
blaze Of glory.
A rangy freckled private stood in
the doorway of the Jewish Welfare
boards hut at Camp Gordon. He
shifted nervously and his tongue stuck
to the roof of his mouth.
"It's a g-g-g-girl, s-s-sir. W-we-I
think I'd like to m-m-marry her. She's
outside. Ocean I bring her in?"
Who was she? A little girl from
the town near the camp? No, she
wasn't the paint-and-powder kind. A
regular girl, the sort you'd like your
mother to meet, if you had a mother.
With all ceremony she was ushered
in, blushing and giggling. She met
the critical eye of the welfare worker
with becoming timidity. When the
Jewish Welfare board man had given
his smiling sanction. the private
breathed a great sigh.
Gee! Suppose I'd had to tell her
she wouldn't do? Gee!"
