AN APPRECIATION.

TIE Leader is in receipt of the
following letter from w. H /. War.
ren, Supervisor of Newspaper News
for the United War Work Campaign
in Oregon:
Please permit me. at the close of
this great campaign, to express to
you the gratitude of this office for
the splendid assistance rendered
during the period preceding and
during the drive.
At the outset when | first wrote
you concerning our plans for news
paper news. it was my firm convic-
tion that there would be hum
dred percent response to our ap-
peals for necessary space. At the
close of the drive. this has been
fully demonstrated. With one ac-
cord the editors of every kind of
publication in the State of Oregon,
so far as my information goes, re-
Sponded to every call, and volun-
teered great deal of space not
specifically asked for by this Office
or by local committees.
As a newspaper man have
often thought that no one has as
yet written an adequate story of
he remarkable service contributed
~ the press in the winning of
he greatest of wars. While it
nay not fall to my lot even to at
empt such a task ! want you to
now how deeply we appreciate
II that you have done for US dur
ng this drive. The results speak
or themselves.

men who have made money and will
make more money raising two-dol-

EPIDEMIC FOUGHT
BY HEAL TIL BOARD
CHILDREN WILL NOT BE PERMIT
TED AT PICTURE SHOWS AFTER
TODAY-MANY ARE STOPPED
FROM GOING TO SCHOOL.

On accounC of an epidemic of whoop-
ing cough in Americus, the city board
of health has issued rigid instructions
regarding children
The moving picture shows were no
titled today to refuse admittance to
all children, and pupils from families
where there are already cases will not
be allowed in the public schools.
Children with whooping cough must
remain on their own premises, staying
in the back yards when allowed out Of
doors.
DR.. D. B. Mayes states that tt has
been found necessary to adopt these
stringent methods as the best means
of suppressing the epidemic SO many
cases were developing that it was
thought best to adopt these means.
The epidemic of measles has been al
layed, and there are only few remote
cases in the city. However, the
spread of whooping cough has been
so pronounced that the city health au-
thorities were called upon by the ply
sicians to CO operate.
The congregating of children from
various neighborhoods is also advised
against, as being likely to promote the
spread of the disease.

TRYING TO BREAK UP
STEALING OF AUTOS

ATLANTA Ga, Feb. 14.-The first
prosecution in Solicitor John A. Boy
kin's crusade against an alleged syn
dicate of automobile thieves was be-
gun yesterday when Al Swords, an
employee of local vulcanizing con-
cern, was placed on trial.
To the surprise of the solicitor,
Swords turned up with three of the
ablest criminal lawyers in the city to
defend him. and it is understood they
have been retained to defend all OF
the defendants indicted by the grand
jury in the solicitors effort to break
UP the syndicate.
AS a part of the crusade, Atlanta
police have been ordered to make a
general clean-out of the pool rooms,
where it is alleged that the spoilers
for the thieves hold meetings to form
their plans and divide their spoils.
