rkam mro IWnsDAT, NOVEMBER T, IfllB. Did one of these 200 letters come to you? A DUSTY courier slid off his motor-cycle at the big double hut in a French town and tramped up to the canteen. "Got a note for the secretary from my commanding officer," he said. He handed a piece of paper across the counter to a smiling middle-aged man. This is the note the Secretary read: We landed here three days ago miles from anywhere. Can you send us some supplies, especially" writing paper? This is the first chance the boys have had to write home and we have no paper to give them, The older man looked up and grinned. "Got you away off in the woods, have they?" "I'll say they have!" "Can you carry anything?" "All you'll give mel" From the shelves the secretary took big packages of paper and envelopes. "Too much?" He asked. "It will be gone ten minutes after I get back!" said the boy. "Tonight," the secretary went on, 'Til drive out a truck with more supplies and a man to stay with you. And tell the boys that if their letters are finished, I'll bring them back with me tonight, and get them into the mails." An hour later that motor-cyclist whizzed into camp, loaded down with writing paper, and in ten minutes letters were being written to 200 American homes. The United War Work organizations know what letters mean to American soldiers. They know that fighters want to get letters and want to write letters. So in every hut and on every ship your boys find writing paper, envelopes, ink, pens and pencils, and tables where they can get off by themselves and tell the folks back home how things are going. Millions of sheets are given away free every week to American boys overseas. That is why the letters you get from your boy are written on the stationery of one of these organizations. It is one of the plans to bridge the Atlantic Help keep the letters coming ! Your dollars will supply a whole Company for several days. Dig deep today; help to bind together Franco and here.

Disking the rt'iai n ei inn i leu i van in n iih.ii grasshopper egg deposits are massed is one of the two effective control measures for hoppers practiced by vOregon farmers. "Right now is the time when most effective work is being done in rout in gout the vast quantities of eggs and exposing them to attacks of bad wrather, birds, and other enemies." ays H. G. Thompson, Federal and Agricultural College insect field spe cialist. "The grasshoppers that will damage the crops next season are now in the egg stage and great masses of them may be destroyed by disking. "The eggs Hre relatively large and straw colored .and are deposit ed in bean-shaped capsules with 2 it to ISO eggs each. The capsules are half an inch Inn gaud covered with earth. They are found around grass roots in unfilled soil, along fence rows, and in waste places when they are protected from the weal her. "The igg areas seldom exceed two or three arres in extent and are f re-: riuently no larger than a table top. Within this spuce the egg masses are (funded thhli. They are mostly within the two inches of surface soil. which should he thoroughly stirred to that depth. The areas may again be harrowed or disked next March or April to expose the eggs that ,es cap-d the fall disking. "Grasshoppers do an immense amount of dmnage each year in Kiist ern and Southern Oregon and indica tions are that they will appear in great numbers next spring." CHILD'S IAXATIVE at toil! He!
