HINES GRANTED
CHANGE Of VENUE

On the plea of attorneys for r. d.
Hines that change of venue be
granted the court transferred two
counts to be heard in Josephine
county. The grounds We're prejudic"
in this county against the defendant.
In granting the plea for change
of venue to Josephine county for X.
u. Hines, former vice president o.
the defunct institution, the court
said it was largely actuated by tho
belief that II would be only fair to
this particular defendant, as well as
less expensive to the county, for in
the very nature of things many tax
payers will feel that they are per
sonally aggrieved by the failure Of
the bank, and defendant would be
justified in obiecting to many jufor'
for that reason, thus requiring the
summoning of many Jurors to secure
jury to try the case"

schools. Miss Van Scoyos has done
some very intensive school and fol-
low-up work, which her own report
will show
Efforts have been made to reach
as many schools as possible, but ow-
ing to the trouble in the way of
transportation, bad roads, etc, this
work has been somewhat retarded.
Whenever the nurse has visited. q
school, inspection of the building, toi-
lets, the lighting and heating sys-
TEN and the general condition of the
school has been made and report
sent to the county superintendent OF
schools. An attempt has been made
to establish the health crusade work,
thereby instilling in the minds OF
the children habits of health and
hygiene. Very good results have
been obtained in this respect, as re-
ports from the county superintendent
OF schools and the county supervisor
of schools and the various teachers,
as well as from the parents of the
children show.
Efforts have been made to reach
and bring any help possible to those
in isolated districts who are i'll or in
any way needing the attention or
help of the nurse.
Owing to the confidential nature
of the work of the nurse, it is i'm
possible to give a full account of the
work done, as the citing of cases
would betray the very confidence
She tries first of all to win, and
which brings her into the very posi-
ton where she can best help them.
During the past year two patients
have been placed in the tuberculosis
sanitorium at Salem.
One child has been taken from a
home where the parents were both
mentally and physically unable to
care for the child and rl'ced in a
good permanent home,
Arrangements are under way
whereby two mentally deficient child:
rem will be sent to the Home for the
Feeble Minded at Salem.
A permanent health center has
been established at Ashland, where
the nurse meets with mothers once
each month for weighing and meas
uring OF children. and for consulta-
ton.
This completes the work of the
past year.

In the Adjutant Generals office,
there has been prepared long list
of names, known as the Deserter's
List. In order that this list may be
corrected and that no names shall
be retained on this list, except those
that belong there, We wish to call
your attention to the following in
formation concerning men who evad-
ed the registration or failed to report
for duty thereafter:
This Is Important.
attention is directed to members
of the AMERICAN LEGION that
many men are listed in the Desert
er's list OF the Adjutant Generals
office by reason of the fact that sub
sequent to registration they entered
service and did not advise their local
board After induction II the man
did not report. he was listed as de-
serter.
"The work of clearing up this list
will be materially assisted if all men
who are at all doubtful about their
present status will write to the Ad-
jutant General of the Army, setting
forth their full name, local board,
residence at the time of registration
and order number, if possible.
MANY other men were inducted in
the service during the time of the in
fluenza epidemic and died before re-
porting. The names of such men
probably appear as deserters also.
''Any member OF the Legion know
ing of such person should so notify
the Adjutant General with all pos,
sible information
ANY individual or Post of the
American Legion suspecting drafl
deserter or delinquent should so no
tify the Adjutant General of the
Army, giving the full name of the
suspected deserter or delinquent, to
gether with his residence at the time
of registration and order number i
that can be obtained.
This section will stand re-reading
1t may be mighty important to som'
of you fellows and you don't realiz'
it, Does that first or third para
graph refer to you? Better lool
yourselves up and be SURE wher
you stand.
