Interesting Letter From Julius Riddle'Concerning Pecul iarities Prerich People. AMERICANS TOO FAST Kallveg Sit I'p and Take Notice at tlio Speed With Which Our Roys lo Things Roys Seo Major tluiick. Feb. 5, 1918 A very pitiful achievement has to supply Germany's publicity perform ers with material on which to base the submarines claims as a war winner. , A pacifist would) regard a war cabinet composed qf those three celebrites, Kaith, Hope and Char ity, as possessing the needed ills tlnction and' experience. Finding that Oregon communities are being fed up on falsehoods of va rious kinds, that the people here as elsewhere are repeating these stories for truth and are thus creating a morale that Is Injurious to the cause which brought the United States to declare war on Germany, tho admin istration nt Washington is asking the people of this state to refrain from . Somewhere in Frnnco, Dear Folks: Have been mighty slow in willing, but there Is so little one can tell Have been receiving lots of mull from you and Dud, and ulso today received tho box of sockB and hand kerchiefs. My that was great wo on those' socks. Never sw such nice knitted work; also the handker chiefs. They wore the most needed, Olive diab handkerchiefs get old after a while and a good whito one Ib a pleasure, many thanks for both. Am going to write to Pearl and Nettie tonight. About two weeks ago 1 got a live dollar bit! from each ol them, and also a box of divinity fudge or nouget from Aunt Pearl today. We are having a regular picnic here. The lust week the sun has been shining nearly every day and all the snow has been gone for two weeks. Jopo has been on a wondurful drive and since he arrived 1 am his orderly. He has charge of the car und 1 have charge of all that goes In It. We expect to have lotB of I'un together us soon as tho weather Hetties down to good old spring and summer. m We have wash day here every day except Sunday. They have a public wash house. Water comes down and they built up a big square basin about 12 feet long and Bix or eight feet wide and two feet high. It Is built sloping to the inside and the sides are about 12 Inches wide. They wash on that side and with a heavy brush and a heavy paddle. How they do work. Mostly elderly wo men. How they can stand all that cold water half a day at a stretch is more than I can see, about half an hour is all I wunt, but they stnnd passing JudKUiont on the way the war is being won, or from saying audi! It and the funny part of it is that doing tilings thnt will destroy con- they get tho clothes clean, fldonce. A fnvorlto story is to tho They have lots of funny customs effect that food and suppllos gather-; hero. Woodon shoes are the vogue. ea ana sent lorwnrii lo soldlors are Everybody in the small towns wear being diverted; that articles are be lng sold and the money not ac counted for. All such statements may' bo branded as false. In Portland more than 20 such rumors have been traced down nnd found to be unfounded. They wore probably started by Gcrmon agents. Don't believe rumors that ore peddled anoui surruiiiiciousiy. All war news will be given out at Washington. Don't talk too much nnyway. them. They wear heavy socks and a pair oT light slippers in them nnd when they go into the house they leave the wooden shoes outsldo, aren't troubled with cleaning their feet here. Another is the houses and barns are nil under the same roof. Have a big ccnlral' entrance with a stable on ono sido, drive way In the ccntor nnd tho house on the other, then the hay loft Is over the whole thing, so you can Imagine how I; A Woman's Shop for Woman's Wear We Cater to your wants and specialize to meet demands of our army of customers Bellows many mice thoy have in the house. Mice holes all through them, and those places are where we are quur tered. But the mice dun't bother us any more. We have them all edu cated to keep off of our head and face. Don't care how much they ramble over tho bed, Just so they keop out of the way. - We saw the major (Houck) the other day. He said that he had re ceived) no mall from home since he landed, so we told him all about his wife which you told us about. He was mighty glad to hear from them, even though the information wus second-hand. Ono thing, the French aren't in any hurry. When an American army truck fogs down the street the French people surely get out of the wuly. About the Hist thing they learn to say about the Americans is "Thoy .move too damn fast. They think we are in too big a hurry. A bunch is on the bed talking so will have to close can t think. - Lots of love to all, JULIUS M. RIDDLE, 103rd Ambulance Co., A. E. F., vin. Now York.

Teams and Auto Trucks February lived up to its reputa tion and everybody is glad it is gone for another 12 months, although it was not half so bad here as in somo parts of the Unite Stutes. Without any snow during' tho wintor and scarcely any frost until February, then the weather became blustery and altogether during the month we got a trifle over an Inch of snow to be exact, 1.7 inches, which laid on only a few hours. Nothing like tell ing the whole truth about these dis agreeable conditions. The wannest day during tho month was on the 9th, when the mercury touched tH. The coldest was February 20, when 25 degrees was registered. The greatest daily range of temperature occurred on the 28th, there being 30 degrees between tho coldest and warmest parts of the day. The high est dally uveruge temperature was 61.5, the lowest dally average, 35.-1, and the mean daily temperature for the month 43.4. The weather rec ords for February of this year, as shown in the summary supplied this oflice by local Observer Win. Hell, do not materially differ from those ol February during the past 40 years. In fact, the normal mean temperature lor a period ol 41 years is 42.6, so that February of this year is still slightly to the good. In the matter of precipitation the month Just past wns a little ahead, tho rainfall totalling 4.96, the nor mal, however, being 4.56. There have boen some real drouthy Febru arys in the past 41 5'oars, notably 1913, when only .57 inch of ruin fell. Other Februarys when loss than two Inches of rain occurred were in ISM. 1889, 1892, 1895, 1898, 190.1, 19115. Tho wettest February on record was 1890, when 11.50 inches of ruin re freshed the lundscupo dr this coun try. The hurdost wind In Fobruary occurred on tho Uth, und the velocity attained wus 22 miles un hour, but It wus only u squall.
