Portland Posses
 All Home Comfort

Portland, Ore, July 2S.-Hun- dreds of white painted bungalows, built on floating logs or pontoons and moored to piling driven in the bed of the Willamette river some distance from the shore, furnish ail- the -year-round homes for perhaps 500 Portlanders and make an attrac- tive sight along the Willamette, within three or four miles from the center of Portland. The houseboats moored in groups of from 10 to 100, are reached by floating sidewalks also built on logs, leading from the shore and along the rear of the houses. Gang blanks connect the in- dividual homes with this float.
 Telephone and electric lighting wires, gas pipes and city water mains extend along the float and are connected with each houseboat, giv- ing these river dweliers "all the com- forts of home," including running water from mountain streams so that river water need not be used for drinking and cooking. Gas meters, furnishing gas for cooking ard heat ing, are placed for each house and gas and city water are led into the homes by rubber garden hose con- nection with the mains along the float. M
 Gay blossoms in window boxes and hanging baskets adorn the broad front porches or decks of these dwellings, which have their fronts to- ward the middle of the river and their back doors toward the nearest shore. The decks are furnished with porch screen, hammocks, swings and artistic furniture. The interiors of the bungalows are luxuriant and often include large living and din- ing room, one or two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen. From three to five rooms is the average interior arrangements.
 In some cases one-half of the float ing home is fashioned into a boat house in which the owner parks his motorboat. There are one or two two-story houseboats, in which the motor boat occupies the lower "floor' Canoes are customary adjuncts to the homes, as canoeing, swimming and surf-board manipulating are among the popular pastimes in summer. A constant downstream current of two miles per hour in summer and four or five in winter, carries off garbage and impurities. Waste matter is thrown overheard from the rear of the house and is not carried to midstream but sinks or is car ried away toward the bank. The Willamette is from quarter to a half mile wide above Portland.

General Petain Awards Citation
 To Y. M. c. A. Man

Paris, July 6.-(By maiD-Wound- ed by shrapnel, knocked unconscious and taken prisoner by the Huns after notable service, Carl Dewing Lytle of North Brookfield, Mass, who served here as Y. M c. A. secretary with the French army, has been awarded a regimental citation by General Pe- tain. It reads:
 Director of the Foyer du Soldat at Misay-sur-Aisne, worked with the troops until the Germans were seen advancing over the heights and dur ing the time our troops were retreat ing he went back to the village to bring out few French children who had remained there. Wounded by shrapnel, he became unconscious and was taken prisoner"
 At Laury, north of Soissons, Lytle was buried in the debris of shelled building in which he had been oper- ating his canteen. After his capture he became a member of German labor gang, and worked until he was impressed into service by German surgeon as an inter preter and by the commandant of the prison camp as field clerk to make out movement lists for prisoners on commanders.
 His luck left him upon his removal to another camp. For time dun geon was his sleeping quarters, while he worked days at cleaning bricks. With the signing of the armistice, 'Lytle was taken to Berlin and turned over to Conrad Hoffman, an Interna- tional Y. M. c. A. secretary, who sent him to Stettin to aid in repatriation work.

As long as the "pussy-footer" who apprehended that business would be hurt" if news of an epidemic in a town gain circulation, yellow fever, small pox, typhoid and other diseases had full sway. But as soon as the more enlightened view of the progress sive and the humanitarian was adopt ed, epidemics were checked in their incipiency. The explanation is sim pie. Knowing their danger, people could adopt proper safeguards. The same thing applies as to what is call ed the "social evil," and every other evil. The light of publicity will help eradicate it, and publicity will not injure business, either. As a general thing, people would rather do busi- ness in morally clean and disease free city.

Morgenthau Says
 P0groms Reports
 Are Exaggerated

Paris, July 27.-(Havas.) )-Henry Morgenthau, former American ambas- sador to Turkey, appointed by Presi- dent Wilson as head of the American commission to investigate reported pogroms in Poland, told newspaper men here that the short visit which he had made to Poland had convinced him that the reports of pogroms were mostly exaggerated
 MT. Morgenthau added his view that the Polish Jews sometimes overlooked the fact that equal rights involved equal duties. If the Polish Jews wished sincerely to collaborate with the states, he declared, they must fol- low the example of their American CO., religionists, who consider themselves above all things patriotic Americans.

TOBACCO COSTLY IN ITALY.

Rome, June 25.-While Americans complain of the advance of one and two cents in the price of cigars and cigarettes, the prices in Italy have advanced ten and twenty times what they were formerly. Cigarettes of the cheapest varities which sold be- fore the war for two cents box now sell for twenty cents and some times thirty. Cigars have mounted in price almost to the point where they are unmarketable.
 Besides the difficulty of importing which, of course, adds con siderable to the price-there is in creased taxation upon it. The gov ernmental income from tobacco in pre-war days amounted to approxi- mately $75,000,00O annually. During the past fiscal year tobacco users have paid the government $170,O0O,- 900 while for the next year the budget anticipates revenue from to- bacco of nearly S3O0,0O0,OOO. The latter will be one-sixth of the entire budget.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
CELEBRATING ARKANSAS
 CENTENNIAL.

A movement is under way to ob- serve the tooth anniversary of Ar kansas with celebration at Little Rock in November. The anniversary of the establishment of Arkansas as territory really occurs on July 4, but for some reason those promoting the celebration selected November as the best time for commemorating the event.
 The plans for the celebration at Little Rock provide for the raising of fund of $75,000, of which Little Rock has promised to subscribe one half. The remainder has been allot- ted to the different counties by the promoters. Jefferson county has been assessed $2,5OO, which, if sub- scribed, will go into the pool for the Little Rock celebration.
 This sum will finance quite nice little celebration, and the question arises: Why shouldn't Pine Bluff have celebration at the same time? Pine Bluff is one of the oldest towns h the state, is the nearest city to the first settlement in Arkansas, and has had large part in the history of the territory and state. From Pine Bluff have gone many of the states leaders, and if there is any city in the state which should be proud of the part it has had in the develop ment, progress anl history y-making events it is Pine Bluff.
 That celebration worthy of the event could be put on in Pine Bluff without requesting contributions of cash from other cities is certain. And we believe that if the proposal were submitted to the people majority would approve, as most appropriate, a celebration in Pine Bluff for the people of Jefferson and adjacent counties of Southeast Arkansas near est where civilization first establish ed itself in what is now Arkansas.
 Pine Bluff and Jefferson people have proved their loyalty on numer- ous occasions; thousands here are descendants of those hardy pioneers who started the upbuilding of the state, and it is due them, as we'll as those who look to Pine Bluff for prop CT enumeration of such historical events, that Pine Bluff properly cele- brate the tooth anniversary of the state.

miles from Cormicy.
"Day and night shells raned on the
village. During the first occupation,
some of the inhabitants, having been
sent into Germany as hostages, por-
ton of the population became ter

of France. Little by little the popula-
tion diminished until there remained
in March, 1915, only 200 souls. The
village continued to be pounded by
