SERVlNc AND SAVING PATRIOTIC
AND SENSIBLE

During the last two months the
people OF Grady county have depos
ited thousands of dollars in Uncle
Sans war chest and at the same
time have "salted down" the same
amount for rainy day or any
other day when they happen TO need
the money. No, it wasn't a 100000
deal-it was all the same money, Just
100000 involved, but it does louble
duty. The thing sounds paradoxical
almost like eating your cake and
having it at the same time. How
was it done? Simply by that Won
derfully clever scheme devised by
Uncle Sam and known as the War
Savings system.
War Savings Stamps make it pos
sible for one to serve his country in
a most effective way financially and
al the same time save motley for his
own future use 1t affords an easy
way for one to do his bit, large or
small, and, simultaneously, invest his
money in the best securities on
earth bonds of the U. S. goyerf
ment. Could a more patriotic or sen
sible scheme be devised?

BEAST OF BERLIN
A STRONG PLAY

The Kaiser, the Beast Of Berlin,
Rupert Julian's historically correct
version of the mad ambition of Will
lam, the Hohenzollern, as produced at
the Liberty theatre last Wednesday and
Thursday, was one of the strongest
shows ever presented in Hood River.
Manager Kolstad is to be congratulated
on bringing the photoplay here.
The Beast of Berlin is a terrible
thing, but it presents true picture,
something that we should know about.
We hear of hun atrocities. The graph
ic photoplay brings them to US in such
form that we comprehend and realize
them. The indirect story of Prussian
ambition and the ends to which Prus
sianism will go to satisfy that ambi-
tion, may leave us Indifferent. The
scenes of the Beast of Berlin makes
our blood boil. 1t arouses US to the
task that confronts America. The pic
ture is timely one.
A most amusing filler was run with
the main show last week, showing
Doug Fairbanks as Democracy engaged
in pugiistic bout with Prussianism.
Justice presided and at different times
relieved Prussianism of horseshoe
knife, etc. Fairbanks then proceeded
to pound the hun into unconsciousness

BACK SALARY CLAIM
FILED BY WICKHAM

Assessor Wickham last week filed a
claim with the county court for 81, ,097
back salary. By a bill initiated by
county electors in 1914, the salaries of
assessor, sheriff and clerk were pruned
Attorneys for Mr.. Wickham base the
validity of their claim on supreme
court decision, ruling against the right
of counties to initiate bills. Others,
however, express the opinion that the
fact that Mr. Wickham has been a can.
didate for the office, accepting it at
the old salary, will estop him from
setting up his claim. The claim, coun-
ty officials believe, will lead to litiga-
tion.
If a court awards Mr.. Wickham S
claim Sheriff Johnson and Clerk Shoe
make will each be entitled to 81, 600
back salary.

Proper Food for Weak StomaChs

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another, Every one
should adopt diet suitedsto his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also inn
portant that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become constipat-
ed or when they feel dull and stupid
after eating, they should take Cham
berlains Tablets to strengthen the
stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy to.take and pleasant in effect.
