IN THE DAYS NEWS
Santo Domingo.

In connection with the petition sent to Washington by group of Span- iards suggesting that this would be an opportune time for the United States to withdraw it's troops from Santo Do- mingo, The National Geographic socie- ty has issued the following bulletin concerning the island republic:
 Geographically the Island of Haiti, including within it's limits the two re- publics of Santo Domingo and Haiti. is in the class of the most favored of na- tions, situated on the Western Conti- nent about midway between its two grand divisions of North and South America and abounding in natural re- sources" says the bulletin, which is based on a communication from Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester. U. S. N.
 The name Haiti, or High Island is significant of the character of it's topography Sire once said a British admiral to his king. George the Third, when asked about the island, Haiti looks like that and he crumpled up a piece of paper and placed it upon the table, A brief description though this may be, it well fitted the case The island is about 400 miles long, 150 miles wide, and is about the size of the state of New York. It is irregular in shape and is ,intersected by three chains ot mountains.
 ! Historically, Haiti, or santo Domin- go, is the senior of our own country. fl we leave out of consideration ths i legendary reports concerning the visits of the Norsemen to our northern coasts 800 years ago, and we are somewha- i indebted to this beautiful island for oul own developnent.

It was a heavenly day and a large and champing multitude was lined up at the park golf shelter waiting to young men, intense faced women in fiat shoes and ugly sweaters and a few pretty ones tsurged back and forth.
 But each and every one stopped dead in his or her tracks when the immaculate young man and the be- wildering girl answered the starters s call and approached the sandbox. She was bewildering because just looking at her you knew she really didn't exist. She had blue eyes, bigger than any bisaue dolls, and golden hair, more golden than any wig in a hair dressers window, roseleaf com plexion that defied suspicious eyes in the bright sunshine and a sweatet and skirt that put every other sweater and skirt out of the running.

Elizabeth Ford, as the regiment

only in QuanticO, where l drove her,
but in Bordeaux, and later up in our
training area, she carried everything
from sick men to bareback. Then we
had two months in the trenches near
Verdun, and at the end it seemed as
though she would have to go to the
scrap heap. Her top was entirely
gone and we made a mail wagon of

an affection for her that you can
hardly comprehend. patched her to-
gether and we brought her down to
our first billets. A week later we had
to go to another area. 40 kilometers
north of Paris. and in the long tip
the Elizabeth Ford sailed along with
out mishap and was the talk of the
division. 4
Then we came up here and she
rose to the heights of her service and
her record. The night we took
Bouresches with 20 odd men. and
news came through that others had
filetered in and the town was ours,
we shot out truck load of ammuni-
ton over the road. The road was
under heavy shell and machine gun
fire. Later in the night we sent the
Ford out with rations.

Extra lights, trouble finders. cigar
lighters and other such attachments

motorist considerable trouble unless
he gives attention to his battery.
These appliances all draw cleo
tricity from the battery. and often the
generator on the car. is not adjusted
SO that it will replace the current
they use and thus overcome the heavy
drain on the battery. AS conse-

must crank your car by hand The
best way to eliminate such trouble
lis to have competent battery man

IRRIGATION" THEME
AT TODAY'S MEETING

1t was an enthusiastic gathering
at the Chamber OF Commerce lunch.
con today noon. About so business
men were present. After partaking
OF the splendid meal prepared by the
ladies, +. s. Bramwell. who last
week attended the Oregon Chamber
lof Commerce meeting and the re-
construction convention at Portland,
gave very interesting outline OF
the work OF the two meetings in the
metropolis.
THE spirit OF the meetings and
the things most talked OF at pres
ent," says Mr.. Bramwell, is irriga-
tion. 1t will probably require ten or
fifteen million dollars to cover the
various irrigation projects that have
been outlined for the west, and al
ready about 100000 acres are under
At the Oregon Chamber of Com
merce meeting 1t was recommended
that the auto tax OF the state be
increased so per cent and one cent
per gallon added to the price of gas
oline, which the chamber figured
would raise about s10.000,000, the
state to issue bonds for that amount
for highway construction. This res
olution, says Mr. Bramwell, was en-
dorsed by the reconstruction conven-
ton and the matter will be placed
before the present Legislature.
At today's meeting the bill now
before the senate of the United
States to raise one billion dollars for
reclamation work in the west was
endorsed, and II was the spirit OF the
meeting to try and get the state to
underwrite irrigation bonds so they
will sell at par. 1t is understood that
only 10 to 30 cents on the dollar are
offered for such bonds.
Mr.. Bramwell urged closer CO.
operation of the people of Josephine
county and said more public spirit
should be shown. inferring that we
would not get much in the way of
money for lateral road improvement
unless We went out after 1t. An ef-
fort will be made to persuade the
state highway commission to appro-
PIRATE money to improve some of the
lateral roads leading to Grants Pass.
especially the one to the Illinois val
ley country.
