OUR EXEMPTION BOARDS

ONE class of citizens has done patriotic duty of
- the highest Importance. They have not had
much publicity nor have they received very much
praise. We understand that they now to be
disbanded in their official capacity, and we feel
that word of appreciation is due them. We refer
to our exemption boards.
Their service has been a difficult one, calling
for quick discrimination and excellent judgment.
Many of the men appointed have carried out the
work at the sacrifice of their private interests
They have had to deal with men of every kind,
rich and poor--the patriot, the Stacker, the con-
scientous objector.
Yet how little criticism of them there has been
how few accusations of unfairness! The over
whelming majority of these men have performed
their duty with strict honesty, great fairness and
infinite patience and kindness. Many young men
are grateful to the members of their exemption
board for fatherly interest and kind advice. The
influence of the boards has been strongly for good
The nation owes debt of gratitude to these
real and transformations patriots

A CHRISTMAS present that Wi

CHRISTMAS present that will be appre-
ciated as much as anything you send to an
absent friend or soldier other relative who has
once resided in the county and is acquainted with
the people and conditions here, is years sub
scription to The Record 1t will continue to carry
comfort and cheer and entertainment for an entire
year. Some have already adopted this sugges-
ton and it should aid number of others to decide
upon something appropriate as present. There
are a number of soldiers from this county who do
not get The Record, and to them the home paper
would indeed be boon. And the best Of it is that
it requires no special Christmas package label.
Why not drop in and send The Record to one of
these absent soldiers?

If EVER TIME SHALL COME

If ever time shall come when can see
crimson cross against field of white,
And fail to hear the words it speaks to me,
Lord pierce my spirit with a sword of light
And let me glimpse the vision once again,
For Jesus sake a cup of water given;
And in His name relief from weary pain,
And mercy, tender, snowy-winged, from heaven
And where it hovers Ger the battle line,
The symbol of mighty mothers care,
May / not say the crimson cross is mine,
If have helped to place it there?

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

r ENERAL PERSHINGS recent war report
- gives us a history of the work which the
American army has done in France The report
is concise and soldierly document, evidently
without trace of exaggeration. But reading be-
tween the lines we see the high courage of our
American boys clearly revealed The general
closed with wonderful tribute to the patience
and heroism of his officers and soldiers
The work which the Americans have done in
the war is far more than military experts fore
saw possible in so short time. 1t was not to be
expected that a body of young men drawn from
peaceful civilian life and with training brief
though intensified should be able to prevail wher-
ever they were used against Germanys seasoned
troops.
Their success can only be attributed to the
national American character. The American is
resourceful He has initiative and is full of latent
possibilities. AS Kplng says, he
turns KEEN untroubled face
Home to the instant need of things
If he undertakes new job he uses his mind
upon it, applies the principles of his last work, so
far as they are applicable figures it out and be-
comes master of it.
Great efficiency doubtless arises from the drill
ing Of the men TO some one set task But it is not
the efficiency Of the American, which comes from
his innate Availability and the use of his reason
ing powers.

PRESIDENT WILSON is enjoying the novelty
of being the first president of the United States
during his incumbency in office to visit Europe,
and is being feted and shown all the homage and
distinction possible Our President sort of enjoys
setting precedent at defiance, as evidenced by his
appearance before Congress in person to support
various measures which he was anxious to have
passed. Well, possibly this is no reproach, for
there are a lot of precedents which bind people
down that there is very little sense to and that
would be as we'll set to one side. AS to the Pres
ident's European visit, cannot help feeling that
it was prompted more by a desire for man-worshjp
and sightseeing than by any real necessity in
connection with the Peace Congress, which we are
son, but mention is made of the fact that he has
made arrangements to play golf as often as pos
sbe and visit the places of interest in France and
Belgium.

THE FARM TRACTOR

N o you know what the farm tractor has done
- for us during the last year? $4,000 farm
tractors, now used in America, have enabled the
farmer to produce magnificent crops in the face
.of unprecedented shortage of labor and short
age of horsepower.
These tractors are replacing 100000 horses
and mules, and 100000 men who are now in the
army. They prepare the ground for our food crops
and later cultivate and harvest them. They in
crease the efficiency of our farm machinery.
The man who has driven one old Dobbin or
two old Dobbins aboriously up and down the fur
rows is in position to realize the virtues Of the
farm tractor.

Salem EIkdOm Has
Stellar Event Of Year

Salem Elkdom did iself proud-and
then sOme-at the jubilee gwen Satur-
day night in celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the founding of the or
der. Many former Elks were in the city
to attend the occasion, and it is estimat-
ed that the attendance was little short
of 400. More were present than there
were banquet plates to serve, but of
tasteful viands there was a plenty and
no Elk went without his rations.
Mayor w. L. Keyes, exalted ruler, ac-
ted as toastmaster, and proved himself
an adept at the job. kilograms were
read from Senator Charles McNary at
Washington and DR.. w. Carlton Smith,
now an officer in the medical depart
ment at Camp Lewis. A program of
toasts and music, including a troupe
of vaudeville entertainers from the
Bligh, was carried out which proved
highly enjoyable. Especially interesting
on the program was the Elks quartet
of Messrs. John w. Todd, Charles Know
land, j. G. Traeger and Geo. G. l.. Sny-
der, with its fairy tales" selection.
A feature of the occasion was the
array of national and club colors. to-

PATRIOTIC MEETING
/. IN ARNORY SUNDAY
WAS WELL ATTENDED
Supreme Justices Harris and
Burnett Spoke On Wash
ingtOn and Lincoln

| The main floor of the armory and
both galleries were well filled by rep
resentative audience which gathered
yesterday afternoon at the joint memor-
ial exercises held in honor of Lincoln IS
and Washington Is birthdays.
The main addresses of the occasion
were made by Justices Burnett and
Harris, of the supreme bench.
Judge Harris in speaking ON the life
and work of Lincoln, recalled the hum
BILE circumstances of the latter's birth
and the vicissitudes and hardships which
he had been compelled TO overcome in
securing an education. Reviewing brief
ly the early period of his public life,
Justice Harris reeounted the divided
condition of the country when Lincoln
was called upon to assume the duties of
his great office, and how when he went
into office he had not even the full
faith of all the members of his cabinet.
But the spirit of lincoln won and his
tory has recorded him the greatest lead
er of his time.
Judge Burnett dwelt upon the purity
of character and motives that inspired
Washington when he took up the lead
ership Of the Revolutionary forces in
the struggle for independence, and the
deep thought and conviction of belief
that guided him throughout his life. He
spoke of the severe trials Washington
had to overcome, the resourcetulness he
exercised in military maneuvers, and
the spirit of fortitude and unselfishness
he showed at all times both as general
and president. Judge Burnett stated that
America has inherited largely from
Washington the spirit of freedom and
patriotism and the love for the rights
of humanity which must ever be our
guiding national sentiments.
An especially well received feature of
the exercises was chorus of male
voices under the direction of John W..
Todd, and consisting Of Messrs. Ander-
son, Schramm, JenKs, AIdrich, Miller,
Smith, Irvine, Knowland, Snyder and
Smith. The chorus sang "The Soldier IS
Chorus. =" and "'The Soldier s FAREWELL
in manner that deeply touched the
audience.
Another pleasing feature was the
reading by Anna Rogers Fish OF ''Old
Glory" and "Lincoln, the Fighting
Man" Dorm Arnold gave a reading OF
Lincoln 8 Gettysburg address in very
creditable manner.
Mayor Walter e. Keyes acted as
chairman. Rev. @. I'll. Elliott asked the
invocation, and DR.. Lisle pronounced
the benediction. w. G. Faulkner and
Rev. E. T. Porter had charge of the ar
rangement of the program.

Stocks Are Higher

New York, Feb. ls.-The New York

said:
Today's stock market advanced one
to three points.
Steel stocks assumed their rightful
place as market leaders, especially
United States Steel, Bethlehem B,
Laehawanna and sh-Sheffield. The
shipping shares were in brisk demand,
as were the motors, especially Chandler
and Chevrolet.
In the forenoon the copper, sugar
and tobacco groups were narrow, but
they later gained substantially also.
The rails held back for while, but
the leaders, such as Union Pacific,
Reading, Southern and Northern Pa
eific, Atehison, Canadian Pacific and
so on, felt the impulse by the end of
the first hour.

prices eased off from the top until

work on Uboat fighters, torpedoes, etc.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels today
