' Roseburg Business College Miss Nina Voorhles, a former Looking Glass girl, and who Is now a trained nurse, la at present In New York from which place she expects soon to sail for somewhere In France, having enlisted In the cause of Old Glory. The following letter which Is of much Interest, was received by her parents, Mr. and- Mrs. Wra. Voor hles, of Looking Glass, recently: We are still here and have no Idea of when we will be moved on.i Fri day afternoon 1 wont to a big liberty loan parade, stood on a Are escape In one of tne office buildings and for three hours watches one mass of peo ple pass. 1 was simply amazed, for It doesn't seem possible that there are so many people In one small state. There were soldiers and soldlors, and sailors andl more soldiers, and more sailors and nurses and ambu lance drivers, canteen workers, all the schools and churches were repre sented and all the different business houses and theatres and every line oi workers. Last came the mothers and wives carrying their service flags, but the saddest of all were the gold and sliver stars on their school1 flags just to think of so many ol the boys wounded and killed. Saturday we went to Camp Merrltt. That is the mobilization point foi tne army and there wero hundreds of boys who had juBt arrived and were waiting for their transports. It's when we see so many uniformed man and the restlessness here thai we realize we are at war. The won derful part -of all this Is we never see any of the boys who aren't smil ing and apparently very happy. Sunday morning I went to church went to St. Patrick's cathedral, which is one of the largest and most beautiful churches In the world. The services were wonderful and the music beautiful'. In the afternoon several of we girls went to Bronx park. We rode and rodo and rode the longest ride I ever had for a nickel. The park was lovely. We say all the animals. It's supposed to he one of the largest zoologist iDarks. We walked bo much we were quite ready for a rest, but In the ev ening we rode on top of one of the Fifth avenue busses, Just to see the throngs of people. '1 lien we listen ed to a liberty loan campaign which was very interesting. We started yesterday morning In tending to have a restful day, but that is impossible here. In' the morning I went shopping with one of the girls. It's amazing how far one can go and not find! what we are looking for. In the afternoon wo went to the Hlpprodrome. The play I didn't consider very good, but the theatre is wonderful, seats ,000 people and has a large revolving stage, and wonderful music. Uhellna and I expected to stay home In the evening, but instead wawent down towtt to see some or tne Doys wno had been In France, wno are nere on a month's furlough, and a hap nlnr hunch Of boys couldn't be found anvwhere. I haven't planned anything for todtty but we do things here without planning for each day we expect our orders ana equip- mnnt. While I am having a perfectly de lightful time here 1 am very anxtpus to get busy. Mamma's letter just arrived, also a nice long one from Nj.ii and' some others, which I am always glad to get. You askod about my insurance papers. I have one copy, one is to be kept by the gov ernment and one 1b sent to you. I surely hope you do have a good prune crop this year. At the price hnitter is here you shauld be able to get more than 35c, and It Is almost Impossible to get cream any where. We have perfectly wonderful meals here, but I haven't seen ft piece of white oread -since I arrived. How ever, 1 am very fond of brown bread, whole wheat and corn meal, which they serve mostly. Too bad about harry Campbell. Yes I knew him. We are not allow ed to keep a diary. Of course as, long aa we are here, but that would not be very Interesting as I can. tell you all that is happening, but f fter we go across no ' difference how careful we are we might put In some little incident which, if captured by tho Hermans would mean a loss to lots of us. Our letters over there will contain hut very little news we are not allowed to say more than how we are, and a few little things thine, ilka that. This morning I must see about iny ;pass port and a few little things which I can't post pone till the last minute. Love to all, NINA. light cast a soft shadow aver the room. And then from the fabric of moonbeams there came old neghbor Berliot, who wasn't the old neighbor at all but the fairy Beryluno looking for a blue bird. So they set out on iheir journey when the dog and cat, bread and milk, water and Are and even the soul of light had been brought to life by turning the dia mond in Tyltyl's hat. The picture will he shown at the Antlers theatre tonight. FRANK BARAGAR Republican Candidate Sheriff Douglas County. I am 46 years old; have lived In Oregon 35 years; 17 years In Doug Ins county, 5 years on Elk creek; 12 years 2 Vi miles north of Roseburg; have boen engaged In stock raising andl farming ever since I came to Douglas county. I went through the country schools and have taken a course in bookkeeping at the Capitol Business College at Salem. Belong ed to Company I, O. N. G. at Salem for three years. Born and raised Republican. The platform and prin ciples if carried out are to serve all the people best. But it was never intended for one man to hog all the spoils. The father of our country re fused to be made a king or accept over two terms in office. Has our present sheriff rendered a greater service to his county than George Washington did to his country? think not. , Now If nominated and elected, you will find me on the job personally every minute. I don't claim to be any Sherlock Holmes de tective, bait I will give tho bootlegger .nd professional criminal my personal attention while he stops In Douglas county. Don't claim to be an expert sampler of whiskey, but If eleoted the court might find some one to do that. If elected my ambition will be to make good to the public, society. and the party I represent. I have as sisted my wife In raising four girls and one boy which have all been edu cated in the Roseburg schools. Yours respectfully, (pd. ad.) FRANK BARAGAR. PKKCY II.
