had some experience in those few
days. One Of my best friends was

be my last for a while. But we
soon got used to the bullets hit
ting all around us, and the burst
ing OF big shells. The only thing
that saved my life, was a big shell
that hit about two feet Of INV head
that failed to 60 off. Just good
luck you see.
1t was right cold while we were
over on the front, and we had it
pretty bad at times. I slept in
shell holes, and believe me we
were glad to get in them. We did
not care how deep the mud and
water was.

Services Sunday Morning

The ministers Of the different
churches had a conference this
morning On the question Of the
advisability Of opening the chur-
ches for service on Sunday next.
After considering the matter
IN all Of its phases it was determin
ed not to hold any Sunday school
IN either Of the churches, but to
hold morning service at eleven
o'clock and no night service.
This would meet the views Of
the community and at the same
time be sufficient guard against
the epidemic.

STATUE "PIONEER"
UNVEILED AT EUGENE

The unveiiing of the bronze statue
THE Pioneer" on the campus at
the University OF Oregon Thursday
was a notable event In the history Of
the state. The heroic figure, 13 feet
high, was the gift TO the university
from ]. N. Teal. capitalist and at
torney Of Portland. In recognition Of
, the debt the people of Oregon owe to
the pioneers. 1t was executed by A.
Phlmister Proctor, the famous Amer
lean sculptor. The model for "The
Pioneer" was a rrapper from Eastern
Oregon who Mr.. Proctor ran across
while visiting at the Big p ranch of
Bill Hanley near Burns, Ore.
The interest locally in this statue
is that the sculptor, A. Phimister
Proctor. is a cousin Of II. G. East

cal postoffice. While on their way

MOTHERS ASK SUPPORT
OF EDUCATIONAL BILL

The mothers OF Oregon's heroes at
Argonne and Chateau Thlerry have
determined upon organized appeal
to the people of the state for support
of the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Educational Financial Aid Bill which
is numbered S14-315 on the ballot Of
the special state election June 3.
I Some 1000 of the 10000 boys who
went to war from Oregon at the call
of their country left their education
uncompletcd The bill is designed to
aid each of these boys who wants to
go on with his school work but is H.
nancially embarrassed, to the extent
of not more than $25 a month or
5000 a year, the amount in each in
stance to be paid to the head OF the
school or college selected at the op-
ticn of the returned soldior.
The Mothers of Oregon Soldiers
think this measure expresses only
proper justice and gratitude. The
War Auxlliaries Central Committee,
composed OF mothers from vahious
war auxillaries has appointed gen.
er campaign committee consisting Of
Mrs. George L. Williams, chairman:
J, w. Crossley, treasurer; Mrs. Geo.
Il. Funk, secretary; George Arthur
Brown and ]. c. English. Frank II.
Hilton has been named manager OF
the speakers bureau. A state wide
campaign will be carried on.

property was protected by the valor
of our boys and who feels any sense

liams while $25 q month will not
pay the expense of schooling, 1t will
help substantially and II will show
that Oregon is not ungrateful."
The measure authorizes a tax of
two-tenths of a mill during I period
Of four years after which II will cease
