Feeding Heiny Iron RatiOns;
That's Stuff to Give EN-

Joe Despair, who is serving in the
Canadian army, under date of May
Is writes to his brother Grover c.. in
Pendleton as follows:
Somewhere in France.-Dear Bro
ther: Wen here 1 am again. happy
and smiling as ever. we are out rest
ing now tres bon. Am laying in the
sun in lovely wood, full Of beautiful
flowers.
We are just far enough behind the
line that we don't have to look out
for the odd shell now and then. It's
quiet here, a least what we call quiet.
There is a target range on one side
of us and some big guns on the other.
The big guns have been sending
Heiny some iron rations," and every
time they shoot 1 think that's the
stuff to give en-" The more we give
'em the sooner we win. Oh. yes; you
bet we are winning, even if he did
make things lively for a while. The
old line is stronger than ever now, and
Heiny hasn't got near the men he had
when he started to get busy on the
western front.

Elk Us Up Quick
So We Can Go Back"
Say Americans

PARIS, June 1.-THE spirit and
morale Of the American soldiers
wounded in the Cantingny battle, 80
per cent of whom will recover, is won
derful. The first question they ask
the surgeon is:
doc, when will I be able to go
back after the German who fixed
me?"
Two young privates were waiting
their turn to enter the operating
room of a large American hospital in
Paris today. One said:
"I have been over the top three
times and it is the greatest sport !
ever had. Fix me- up quick because
I want to go back after the boches
again"
The second soldier, who had seri-
Gus wound in the thigh. said:
''If I do not return to the trenches
I have the satisfaction of knowing
that fixed three-two bayoneted and
one shot. 1 am satisfied"
The soldier probably will recover
but he will never cross bayonets with
the Germans again as he will lose his
leg.

REVELATIONS FROM THE
DAYS BEFORE GREATNESS
WAS THRUST UPON THEN
tCIytIe HALL
chapter s.
tuytIe Han.)

Auul1Acf D.
A long time ago. In the land Of the
Cherry Blossoms, a Japanese lad and
japanese maid attended kinder
garden school together at Wakayama-
ken, Higashimufogun Katsura. Now.
the name doesn't matter at all. so
don't try to remember It.
The boy was aged eleven, and the
girl, his sweetheart, was. seven. <He
was Saichi pronounce 1T Psyehe)
Tateshima and she was Matsu Ouaki,
although the Ouaki part isn't of any
Consequence as Saichi himself inu-
mated.
After awhile, the boy left his ma
tive land and sailed for that mystical
America. He came to Portland
where he had a friend who ran a ho-
tel, and he stayed there for awhile.
About Is years ago he came TO Pen
dleton and began work for the Ore
gon, Washington Railroad and Navl-
gation company. and he's been with
them ever since. For fear some peo-
pie won't recognize Saichi by his
Cherry-BIossom land name, wen say
that everybody in Pendleton calls him
Togo, and that he wears red cap.
But we're getting away from the
revelation part of this story. Ever
since he left her, Matsu has written
to caichi, and right here wen let you
in on the big secret. just as Togo told
1t: "Matsu, she write me come back
to Japan, say no marry anyone else,
| say No, you come over here she
say alright and pretty soon she come.
She sail in two months. we marry in
|September in Portland" Matsu's faith
er didn't want her to come, but he is
dead now, Saichi explained.
saichi and Matsu haven't seen
each other for more than is years.
and he realizes that sch may not Hike
him as much as she did the kinder
garten lad. Maybe she no like, we
quit" he announced philosophically.
But Saichi thinks Fatsu will do pret-
ty nicely. for he has her picture. and
he says, "She look pretty to me all
right" But he's a little uneasy on one
score. He said "She big woman, like
you. she weigh bout 14O." Now ev-
erybody knows Togo isn't any giant.
and it's no wonder he's worried for
fear she may be one of the scrappy
kind, and show a disposition to take
him in hand should difficulties arise.
But Togo's willing TO take a chance
and Just waiting now for his bride to
arrive, When asked her name, at
first he said only. "Matsu.'' and in
answer to what is her last name?''
he said, "No matter, pretty soon
change, all be same as me pretty
soon"

not, however, urge upon people who

Here in Denison the campaign for
membership will be intensive. Every
block in the city is to be canvassed
and those in charge expect to have
every resident of the city enrolled.
Inasmuch as the Red Cross society
has announced that there will be no
more funds solicited for war work

|twenty-eight years DR.. Wright en-
gagged in practice at Denison and in
the time named few men have been
more closely identified with the prog
|ress of the city. He acquired an en-.
viable reputation and was one of the
leading practitioners of the state.
On the ed of October, 1891. DR..
Wright was united in marriage to
Miss Florence NJ Brigham, a native
OF Boston, Mass. The wife departed
this life two years ago. Three chill
dren were born to DR.. and Mrs.
Wright, namely: Winifred Weld, Al
ma Lucille and Alice Edna, all of
whom are left to mourn the death
Of their father Two brothers sur
vive, Leighton and Alfred, both resi-
dents of DenisOn.
Dr. Wright was a member of the
Episcopal church and for number
of years served as vestryman. Fra
ternally he was connected with the
knights of Pythias and the Modern
Woodmen Of America, also holding
membership in the Phi Beta Kappa
and Beta Theta Pi college fraterni-
ties. In politics he adhered to the
republican party and was an active
worker in behalf OF his party. He
was coroner of Monona county in
1889 and county superintendent of the
schools Of Crawford in 1896. For one
year he filled the office Of chairman
of the county republican central COM
mittee, discharging his duties with an
ability that met with the approval of
the members of the committee.
In the death OF DR.. Wright, Denison
has lost one of its foremost citizens.
He was earnest, energetic and com.
petent in whatever he undertook, and
represented in his profession and his
life the highest ideals. Dr.. Wright
was appointed member Of the local
exemption board after the outbreak
of the war and devoted a considerable
portion Of his time to the duties Of
this Office, although 1t did not inter-
fere to a great extent with his prac-
tice. He. however, appreciated the
responsibility of the office and work
ed faithfully and diligently doing the
part assigned to him in helping to win
the war No man n Denison occu-
pied a more honorable place in the
estimation of the people than did DR..

A deep gloom was cast over the en-
tire community yesterday when word
was received here that Dr. w. T.
Wright had passed away early that
morning at the home of his brother
in-law, Frank L. Brigham, at Ute. The
immediate cause Of his death was
due to pneumonia, which followed a
severe attack of the Influenza His
three daughters, Winifred, Alma and
Edna, and brother, Alfred Wright,
were at his bedside at the time OF his
death.
Early in December DR. Wright con.
tracted the influenza, but as his case
seemed to be in a mild form he con-
tinued to be up and around, calling
on his patients, Owing to the cpl
demic and the many sick people he
no doubt overtaxed himself making
trips night and day, administering to
the sick. December 9Th he got up
out Of the sick bed to 60 to Ute to adj
minister to his brOther-in-law, Frank
u. Brighten, who was stricken with
the Influenza and who died just few
hours alter his arrival at Ute. DR..
Wright was In such condition upon
his arrival at Ute that he went to bed
and from day to day his condition
grew worse. Last Saturday pneumon-
ia developed and although he had the
best of medical attention and a train
ed nurse to care for him his cOndi-
ton was SO Weakened that he was
unable to Withstand the disease and
he passed peacefully away at 100
