EXTRA ATTRACTION ' AT ANTLERS THEATRE As an extra attraction at the Ant lers theatre tonight the management will offer Alaska Jack, famous gov ernment guide and scout, in person and three reels of big game hunting in Alaska, upon which this well known character of tne frozen north will lecture. For many years Alaska Jack was in the service of Uncle Sam, acting in the capacity of guide In the arctic regions and has traversed during hin sensational career practically every known foot of the territory. In the realm of the Sourdough the rep utation of Alaska Jack is an envi able one and these are perhaps not naif a dozen of the old time Alaskans who are noi familiar with at least one or more of the usual adventures that has fallen to his lot during the discharge of his duties. In his lecture on the three feels of moving pictures Alaska Jack ex plains "his country" as he fondly terms any and all parts of Alaska in I the language that can ;be under stood, eschewing any attempts at forensic supremacy but telling in "a thoroughly comprehensive entertain ing and educational manner his story as only a true lover of nature can tell It. There will be no extra charge for this added attraction. . For convenience of our trade we will be open each evening until .Christmas; . d25 . GOLDEN RULE STORE, - - IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS. You have all done the right thing, naturally, and joined the Red Ci'oss. iNow, on Saturday and Monday let's get the other good folks to do the same. Please each one of you take the membership dollars, isuse re- ceipts therefor and report the business to me at the First , State & Savings Bank Monday evening. "Everybody's! doing it," so get in and drill. Each dollar may save a life. W, C. HARDING, ; Campaign Manager, get credit at local establishments, for various reasons, best known to the dealers, and therefore was forc ed to solicit financial aid. The man is decidedly deaf and when asked by Commissioner Nich ols, who raised his voice considerably to make himself understood, wheth er or not the pension allowance of $20 was sufficient for his needs Mr, Swarthause acquiesced in the affirm ative and added jnuch to the amuse ment of others- present, "It has to keep me, but It won't keep , you." Mr. Nichols laughingly admitted that $20 would fall a little short of meeting his monthly obligations and it was . decided to allow the elderly gentleman the sum of $5 to tide him over until the pension arrived. How ever, it was some time before the court'could convey this Information and several notes were written by Judge Marsters. These were eagerly scanned in turn and when the signif icant sum of $5.00 loomed up before his vision the shock was too' great and the petitioner decided that if he could not talk the court out of more filthy lucre than that he would not accept any and Mr. Swarthause expressed himself along these lines and left the -portals of the law chamber registering disgust. E HAMI OPENS COURT TODAY IN SOLICITS AID James Swarthause, a familiar fig ure about the streets of the city, widely known for his stentorian voice and peculiarity of speech, ap peared before the county court this morning seeking assistance in the form of a loan with which to pur chase the necessities of life until 3uch a time as his pension would ar- Ive.

He had heard of The : Brunswick. - ' "Is it possible," he asked, "that you have the phono graph I've always wished for? -One that plays all records?" . ., Then his favorite records were played some of the well-known makes. : He asked for different artists - all were available. .'

INITIAL MEETING HELD by; The Douglas county exemption board, consisting of Sheriff George Quine, chairman; Ed Lenox, county clerk; Dr. B;. B. Stewart, and Dis trict Attorney George, Neuner, legal advisor, held! its initial meeting at the sheriff s office today for the purpose of outlining the work of classification. Very few question naires have been returned so far. However, many are coming in today and it seems that the local board will be kept busy once the classification work starts in earnest. No information is avaialhle as to what quota Douglas county will be expected; : to furnish. Should the military officials see fit to call for an army of 650,000 men, we will have to furnish approximately 200 recruits. However it has been ru mored that a much larger army than that included) In the first draft will be raised wdthln the,' next few months, and if such is the case Douglas county's quota will be in creased proportionately. It is, esti mated that 500 registrants in this county will fall under class one and in view of this fact a call for three million . ber -made, class one would be exhausted in filling our quota and men from class two would neces sarily be forced' to serve, providing, of course, they were not barred by physical defects. Reported Perfect Today. The Southern Pacific freight and passenger offices reported this aft ernoon a perfect score in Red Cross memberships, every man therein having joined, which shows -the proper spirit. Makes liberal Donation. Sam Moore, of Dole, who was in the city today on business "Blipped over" a nice piece of gold to the Red Cross committee this afternoon in the shape of a $10 piece. It is unnecessary to Btate that this liberal donation addedi considerable "pep" to the '; committee receiving the amount. . . Good news. We now have plenty of Coos Bay coal.
