continues the bulletin.
"Disregarding the 'extras' and the
special- allowances of various kinds,
proTiled for in all the armies of
the Kprld, but taking the lowest
'ageiof the humblest private as
the standard, the comfortable rate
of pay allowed Uncle Sam's fight
ing men affords a remarkable con
trast to the lean pay envelbps of
the men with whom our soldiers will
Join forces in France, as well as to
the slim compensation of the enemy
armies."

MEXICO FIRM IN
TERESTED LOCAL FRUI1
That the products of the Drager
Fruit Co., are well advertised is
evidenced by the following letter re
reived by this company in Kosoburg
from Mexico City, where the pros
pective customer has evidently got
ten in touch with some literature
concerning the fruit packing plant:
"Desiring to become one of your
ninny estimable customers, 1 direct
to you the present with the object of
asking you to kindly sand me by re
turn mail a list of the dried fruits
which your house sells, such as tha
fig, raisin, prune, date, pear, etc.,
for I wish to make an experiment.
Moreover, I hope you will Indicate
to mo the form of the money, wheth
er iby means of draft, or money or
der on your place, or in paper
money, and If I send it for the mer
chandise you can send it by express."
The letter was written in the own
languago of the inquirer and it was
necessary to secure the aid of 11. J.
Stone, the local piano tuner, in order
to have It interpreted, which he
readily did for the local fruit com
pany. Will F. McFurland returned to
Sulherlin yesterday afternoon after a
visit in Roseburg.
