New Weapons Always Condemned.

New weapons have always reused
the ire of the old-fashioned soldier
Just as Germany's introduction Of
deadly weapons has in this war, says
the Boston Post. The introduction Of
bronze spearheads must have scandal
lied some old f1int-wielding warrior,
and King Archimadus regarded the
use Of the catapult as the grave of true
bravery.
Bayard considered that no true man
should use a f1rearm, and even Mar
shall SAKE did not altogether approve
Of it, and thought the old-fashioned
style of man-to-man fighting superior.
But in the long run it is the man
that wins, not his weapon. Laurence
Oliphant, the great traveller, said that
in future wars the side would win
which showed the most determination
to get to grips with the enemy.

Alberta Girls COP Prize

Word was received Saturday after
noon by telegram from the state fair
headquarters that the Alberta girls had
carried off the canning prize and would
represent the state of Minnesota in the
Iowa canning contest to be held at
Sioux City next week. News of the state
victory was received with great ap-
plause by the people of Alberta although
it was no great surprise as we know that
about what our girls can do and of the
careful instruction given them and the
deep interest taken by the mothers as
we'll as the noted Professor Grafelman
himself. The Alberta school has taken
more than their allotment of prizes at
state and county contests ever since it's
foundation and we trust will continue
to do so under the able mana gement
of it's teachers and directors. We must
congratulate the winners, Miss Lenora
Eystad, Miss Veneta Moorhead and Miss
TheIma Fougeron. "Hurrah for AL
berta as usual"
To strengthen Alberta's share in fair
prizes L. NJ. Larson was the only man
or person in two hundred thousand peo-
pie that on Labor Day drew the number
emitting him to a ton of coal free. A
Twin City coal company held drawing
on labor day and Mr.. Larson received
notice few days ago that his was the
lucky number and arrangements are be-
ing made to furnish the coal at once.
Mrs. Bowen of Grass Range, Montana,
arrived this week for visit with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Guhrt.
Miss Hack Of Morris, has been sub
shutting at the school for one of the
teachers that failed to appear on sche-
duIe time.
S. Loher's grading outfit has been do
ing some badly needed work on West
front street this week.
L. NJ. Larson and Chris Eystad drove
to Appleton on business Wednesday.
Alfred Bach returned from a years
service in France last week. Alfred is
glad to be home and his many friends
are glad to see him.

FOUGHT and Destroyed Submarine.


Sighting a submarine, the armed
guard Of the United States navy
aboard the steamship Silver Shell was
ordered by its commander to haul up
the American flag and wait. The Or
der was given by Chief Turret Capt
William J. Clark. The guard obeyed
and 60 shots we're exchanged in run
ming fight lasting an hour and half.
The enemy was sighted at about 1000
yards. AS the German approached,
the vessel, with Stars and Stripes fly
ing and her men at the guns, fore and
aft, opened fire. The submarine re-
sponded at once with her deck guns,
and a sea duel Of remarkable fierce
ness on both sides was started and
kept up with no stop. It was taken
on the run. In all the submarine fired
35 shots and the armed guard %. Here,
however, is where the sustained gun
merry of the American man of wars
man Outdistanced his foe. He had the
last shot. 1t struck the submarine,
raising her out of the water. The Sill
yer Shell held her position for a while
and the U-bOat not coming to the sur
face it is believed she went down.
Clark is an enlisted man and has been
in the navy - years. His home is at
Peabody, Mass. Recommendations
have been made for his promotion.

HANCOCK
(From the Record)

Murphy & Ransom are having the
plans drawn for the brick block they
intend to put up next the new post
office and it is likely will commence
the building this fall.
Carl Feigum made trip to the cities
the first of the week and while there
bought the lot and building where his
barber shop now stands. Carl intends to
put up new brick building next spring
and will tear down or move off the
frame building now on the lot.
A letter just received by his folks
from Edmund Goulet, who has been for
some months with the American Army
of Occupation in Germany, states that
he was to leave there the 10Th of
August and expected to be home here
sometime this month.
And another of our Hancock lads is
back. This time it is Harry Anderson,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Anderson.
Harry has been in service for some
seventeen months and with the excep-
ton of two or three months stationed
at Paris Island, has been at Portsmouth,
N. H. Harry never got a chance to
get across with the other boys but there
is no disappointment in getting here
back to the old home again.

In French.

President Woodrow Wilson is to re-
ceive a pretty compliment from
France. His history Of the American
people, which in style, says the London
Observer, is somewhat between Free
man and John Richard Green, is to be
translated into French. It makes five
rather large volumes in the English
language, and it will fill as many ir
French. There will be an introduction
by NJ. Emile Boutroux, who is his
torian, a philosopher and a member
az the French academy.

'"Tell me-" he said to Satan, "do you
keep these fires Of yours burning in

Americans and Yankees.

Although Canada is part Of the
continent Of America, tine name
American is usually limited to citizens
of the United States. A real Yankee
is supposed to have been born

name is applied indiscriminately to

FINISHES STRONG IN VICTORY
LOAN DRIVE WITHOUT BLARE
OF TRUsIPETs OR FIRE
TWOHY BROS. HEAVY BUYERS
Several Large Subscriptions Receiv-
ed, Germans Helmets Going TO F.
G. Bramwen and Mrs. Simmons

In keeping with the four other
loans, Josephine county has finished
strong in the Victory loan campaign.
The county's quota was s146,700.
but figures furnished by T. NJ. Stott,
county chairman, show that AIS peo-
pie in the county have subscribed
$162.S00 through the local banks.
This amount includes a $4,000
subscription by Morris Bros, loan
brokers and owners of the, Grants
Pass water works. The amount
does not, however, include $4,000
subscription from the California-Or-
egon Power company, 5000 from the
Standard Oil company. nor the sub
scriptions Of the Southern Pacific
employees who purchased their Vic
tory bonds through the federal treas
ury at San Francisco. 1t is expected
that the subscriptions of these en-
ployes will amount to approximately
| 10000 Counting these and other
subscriptions allocated to Josephine.
Mr.. Stott estimates the county has
finished with s175.000 strong in the
great Victory loan drive.
Several large amounts were re-
ceiyed, the German helmets. to be
awarded for the two largest individ-
ual subscriptions, going to F. C..
Bramwell and Mrs. Jane Simmons,
who subscribed $500 and $4,000
respectively. Among the other
$4,000 individual subscriptions were
that taken by Frank Mashburn, F. S.
Jones. and another party whose name
is withheld by request. Mrs. Sim
mons received the helmet for the rea-
son that hers was the first $1,000
subscription turned in.
The California Oregon Coast rail-
way came in with subscription Of
$4,000, which was a portion OF the
Twohy Bros total subscription Of
$4,000 to the Victory loan fund.
It is estimated that Twohy Bros, to-
gether with their employees, have
subscribed approximately s250.00o
to this loan.
n The Victory loan drive in Jose
phine was not staged with blare Of
trumpet and red fire, but the county
glided gracefully over the top by
raising the quota requested and with
a wide margin to spare.
Chairman Stott is justly proud of
Josephine's record and wishes to sim
cerely thank the citizens for their
loyal and prompt support of the cam
paign.
