Goldier's Paradise

Everett F. Hagedorn, of Mon
roe, says he didn't appreciate the
full meaning OF the little red card
he got last October, but is now in
a soldiers paradise, and glad
he was picked by Uncle Sam
Writing from France to his moth
err in Monroe, Hagedorn says:
Il am sitting and writing of a
soldiers paradise in foreign
country, about 5000 miles froa
home. Five months ago was in
dear Monroe or Snohomish, driv-
ing car, never imagining what
or where the near future would
find me. never realized that
the little red card | received thru
the mail October 2 was a free
ticket to the western front. From
the looks of things over here now,
ii might take me to the eastern
front. Indeed, Uncle Sam has
been very good to me.
I'VE probably will be moving
again soon, for we never stay in
one place more than a month. |

self very much here. 1t is a very
old town and full of fine speci-

1000 More Men

There are today 1000 more sol
diers at Camp Lewis than there
were Tuesday morning. Over this
number of men were received at
the casual station Tuesday, given
their preliminary medical exam
nations and assigned to training
battalions.
Men on duty at the casual sta
ton, as we'll as the officers, had
not a moment to spare from early
morning until late at night, the
men arriving at camp in q steady
stream. The quota that was sup
posed to arrive at Camp Lewis
was 1907, but the total number
exceeded 1000.

COMFORTABLE
CARS WANTED

The tendency of motor car buy
ers is toward the better, more
comfortable cars, says Z. S.
Robinson, manager of the Little
& Kennedy Co. used car depart
ment.
There has been reason for
this in the growing economy of
better cars" said Robinson. The
automobiles we take in on Stude-
baker trades are largely of the
better class and have many miles
still left in them. But 1t does not
satisfy US to merely turn the car
out again as we bought it.
Each used automobile brought
in is sent to the repair shop, where
We have IL mechanics who do
nothing else but work on this
stock. Every part is overhauled,
and weak units are replaced.
Then the car is sent to the
paint shop, where it is given sew
eral coats of paint. BY the time
they are sent out on the floor
they are spick and span"

Success Is Due

Sixty-five years manufacturing

Kennedy Studebaker commercial
car and Federal truck department.
"Studebaker commercial cars
are not simply adaptations of the
chassis used in their passenger
car line, but are a separate and
distinct product of the great or

YOUNG GIRL WRITES OF
GREAT OVERLAND RECORD

A 14-year-old girl has reported

did record of an Overland light

E. Fisher of Carlton, Tex, who

PAPER QUITS

CHICAGO, May 1.-The Chi
cago Herald was combined today
with the Hearst morning paper
here and will be issued hereafter
as the Chicago Herald and Ex-
aminer." The paper will aban-
don the Herald plant, being issued
from the Hearst building under
the editOrship of Arthur Brisbane.
Chicago now has two morning
papers-the Tribune and the new
combination.
The Herald for four years has
been under the editorship of
James Kelley, who left the Trib-
une to merge the old Record
Herald and the Inter-Ocean in
the spring of 1914. An an
|nouncement in the Herald says
Kelley will go abroad for three
months to make certain investi-
cations for two European coun-
tries.

CARE OF CHILD

In contest for the custody of

Card Tuesday by Marian Meyer,
divorce plaintiff, and William
Meyer, defendant, one of the

ION the entire trip We used
115 gallons of gasoline, an aver
age of II miles to the gallon.
I'VE were gone 81 days.
I'VE had all kinds of roads 49,
sand, rocks and chugholes, and
mud by the wholesale. We pulled
thru mud with chains and didn't
stick. In this same mud We saw
cars pulled out by government
trucks, altho our car, loaded, went
thru unassisted.
The only repair we had on the
entire trip was one new fan belt.
If we had possessed needle and
thread we could have mended the
old one"

Fling it out on the breeze,
Let it float DER the seas,
Unfurl 1t on high,
IT'S as blue as the sky:
It's stars are as bright,
AS those Of the night;
That banner so pure
Shall ever endure.
1t stands for right,
Against wrong will fight;
Meath 1t we stand,
Pledged heart and hand,
Its cause to uphold,
AS we kiss its bright fold,
We swear to maintain
Our flag from all stain.
Wherever you see
This flag of the free,
Protection you'll find,
From all mankind.
God bless our flag,
IT'S no shameful rag,
It's a banner of glory,
Whose wonderful story
Will shine in all ages,
On history's pages.

st. Patrick's Day

st. Patrick's day - an old
Irish song played by a musician in
a Y hut-this was the combina.
ton that brought thoughts of
home and a lonely Juggling at the
heart of Lawrence Titus.
AS the notes of those sweet old
melodies ring thru the hail. he
writes, II see again beautiful
VALLEY in Washington. At one
end range of the most beauti-
full hills and mountains that
have seen in nearly 10000 miles
of travel from Alaska to Mexico
and from Tacoma to France.
Il see again a sloping spot of
grass, trees, cottages and build
ings from which run wires that
carry the power to turn the wheels
of industry that furnishes the
necessary material which will en-
able us over here to keep the
enemy from destroying that beau
itiful valley.
AT the same time my mind
drifts to little cottage. This cot
tage is set among several big
trees and in a doorway is a beau
tiful girl dressed in a spotless
house gown with a lace cap over
her head and in her arms is a
fine healthy ba1y. She is wait
ing for me and with the brave
confidence of an American her
face is lighted with a smile.
1T is at such times as these
that l think of my mother and |
thank God that ! was born with
the strength and determination
to come over here and bring the
fight to the enemy rather than
have the enemy bring the fight to
us. Rather a hundred times
would ] give my life in France
knowing that ] am doing my bit
to protect my beloved Washington
with all it means to me than to
live and see it desecrated by the
footsteps of a rotten German.
Everybody in the army here is
happy and smiling as the summer
draws near. We are quite conf
dent that we will be home or on
the way by Christmas and are all
anxious to help put the Hun out
of business whenever the word
comes to CO."
