ROSEBURO. OREGON,
OUR UNBL'RIED SOLDIERS
Ten years can seem like a long, long time. There are
in America today hundreds of thousands of young men, mar
ried, holding responsible jobs, finished with their schooling,
who were too young to be in service when the armistice end
w the World War. The World War, to them, is a distant
memory. Even to the rest of us, who were older then and
knew something about it, it seems far away blurred by time.
Yet, in the bramble-grown gullies and ravines of the Meuso
Argonne region, in the over-grown dugouts and machine
gun nests of Belleau Wood, and in the tangled region about
Chateau Thierry, there are still lying, undiscovered, the
bodies of more than 1300 American soldiers who were killed
in action. This is something in the nature of a reminder for
all of us. We tend to put unpleasant experiences out of
mind. Whether we gained or lost by them whether they
were closed episodes or left us with new problems to solve
we resolutely go to work to forget them. We tell ourselves,
"Well, anyhow, it's over." We have been doing that with
the World War. It is not only the pain and suffering of
the war that we put behind us. We put behind us, also, the
vast hopes and high ideals with which we entered the war.
We were keyed up, then, to a higher point than we have
been able to reach since. We were ready for sacrifices. We
had our eyes on an ideal. And today? Well, we don't like
to think about those things. We know that we have some
how missed the ideals and the hopes. We have come down
to earth again, and it is uncomfortable to remind ourselves
of it. So we try to forget. But there are still 1300 uni
dentified bodies of our soldier dead lying where they fell,
on the battlefields that our ideals and our hopes brought into
being. And they will not let us forget. Those 1300 boys,
who have lain for 10 years in snow and rain with bits of
lead and steel in the dust of their hearts, died for something.
They had a dim, possibly confused notion that the world
would somehow be a better place because they died. They
surrendered themselves to a force that moved the hearts of
their country. They paid with their lives for a belief that
a new day could be made to dawn on earth. The rest of us
were spared. Wo lived on, to taste the joys and ectiiaies
and victories of daily life that those lads missed forever. We
wcro permitted to go on with our work and our play as be
fore. But with this privilege went a responsibility. To see
to Jt "that these heroic dead shall not have died in vain'' is
our greatest task. Somewhere between 1918 and 1028 we
have lost the great vision that sustained these young men on
their last march. Nothing nothing that you can imagine
is more important than that we regnin that vision and act
on it. A new dawn was to come. It is up to us. We can,
of course, pursue our present course of materialism and do
our best to forget all about it. But will it be easy, while 130i
of our dead lie yet unburied?

Postmaster General New announces that postal clerks
are going to get th r Christmas holiday this year even if
undelivered package fill the post offices when December
25 dawns. When work is finished on Christmas Eve, every
thing will wait until the day after Christmasno matter
who has to wait for his presents. This is good sense. Christ
mas has often meant a period of utter misery for the post
man instead of a time of rejoicing. He deserves a little
consideration, and we're glad to see he's getting it. There
is, of course, a moral nttached. It is: do your Christmas
shopping and mailing early. If you put it off to the last
minute, you can hardly expect overworked clerks to give
up their holiday so that your gifts may arrive on time. And,
if you are delayed don't forget that the air mail will Ex
pedite delivery.

Exactly 71 persons lost their lives every day in the
United States during September because of automobile ac
' cidents. These figures come from the National Safetv Cotin-
cill, and give more light on the astounding extent of the
current traffic problem. During the first nine months of
the year, our automobiles took 18,200 lives. This is an in
crease over the figures for 1927; and it should be noted that
the last two months of the year usually show the worst rec
ords f ,J. What are wc going to do about it? Will we
simply ignore it and let things slide, as we have been do
ing? Or will we, at last, wake up and lake some drastic
measures that will end this national disgrace?
o
Everyone appreciates a good loser and we cannot help
mention the gracious manner of Sheriff Terry Webb in giv-
.ing instructions and other details of the sheriff's office to
V. T. Jackson, who will assume his duties the first of the
year. Mr. Webb is exerting his efforts in every way pos
sible to lowko iiie road Wear !;r his successor!' setting n
mighty fine example and one that should be followed by

A draft of Missouri mules had
just arrived and a new prlvste
made the mistake of going too
near one. His comrades caught
him on the rebound, placed him on
a stretcher and started for the hos
pital. On the way, the injured man
regained consciousness.' He gazed
at the sky overhead and felt the
waving motion of the stretcher,
feebly he lowered his shaky hands
over the side, to find only space.
"My goshl" he groaned, "I ain't
even hit the ground yet"

I POEM FOR THE DAY
By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS
THE SPIRIT OF THE SALVATION ARMY
In his book. "Echoes nnol Memories," Gen. Bramwell
Booth tells this story of his father. Gen. William Booth, the
founder of the Salvation Army. He went one morning in Lon
don to see his father. Ac he entered the rOom and the elder
Booth suw him he blurted out: "Bramwell, did you know that
men slept out all night on the bridges)"
"Well, yes."
"Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself to have known
it and done nothing for them." He would not listen to excuse,
"Go and do something I" he said.
"What can we do"
"Get them shelter."
"That will cost money."
"Well, thnt is your affair! Something must be done. Get
hold of a warehouse and warm it, and find something to cover
them But mind, Bramwell, no coddling."
Thnt is the Salvation Army spirit: "Do something!"
No coddling of the men who' re down,
In idleness about the town.
But thought he's down he's never out
That is the constant Army shout.
For evcty man must have a friend
Who'll seek his broken life to mend:
No matter where the trouble brewed,
Thai broken lite must be renewed.
No matter what his evil taint.
It visionr man a ransomed saint;
No matter how by evil seamed.
It holds he is a man redeemed.
It docs not dream or speculate.
But telle to man his high estate;
And to the vilest sinner's case
Applies the salve of saving grace. .
Ab.mt its. God it never doubts.
But of I lis wondrous mercy shouts;
It loves His giacious deed;, to tell
In snatching men from am and hell;
It lifts the harlot from bet shame.
And clothes her with His holy name;
Adopts the children of the slums
And tolls them with its hums and dtums.
It doer, not wait for perFrrt things.
But wades rigiit in and loudly sings;
It goes where ani.-els fear to tread.
And God wraps glory 'round its head.
God bleas the Army (jnd its work
I've never known it yet to shirk,
f or sharing Christ with all who re down.
God givei lo it jloiy ciown.

STORY BY
Poor Clowny! Once again thl!
lad had pulled a trick that seemed
real bad. It really was his fault,
though, that he had tinned the urn
of gravy on the captain's clothes.
How scared he was nobody knows.
Thought he. "What will the cap
tain do when It begins to burn?"
He didn't have to wait for long.
The raptain, very big and strong.
Jumped to his feet and shouted.
"Ouch! What sort of - trick la

side all heard him as he loudly
cried. "Oh, my," exclaimed fat
Coppy, "somelhiss e!as hss gese

They peeked Into the dining
place, and saw the fright on
Clownya face. And then tliey
spied the captain, with the gravy
on fats vest. "That wasn't done
with ill intent," said Scouly,
" 'twas an accident. But, my, the
captain a mad. No wonder Clowny
looks distressed."
Then, up Jumped Clowr-. wtib
a roar and scampered to t nearby
door. He dashed outailie, ant!
down the deck. The captain shout
ed. "Hey! I guess you think
you're pretty slick to pull that
gravy spilling trick. Come back
ftnd take your punishment. Don't
try to run away."
Hut Clowny kept on running
fast. He reached a hiding place at
last. Twas far down In a coal pile.
"Now I m good and safe." said he.
The captain didn't find him Uiere,
but shortly Clowny got a scare, as
Carpy sneaked ttp carefully and

"Don't tell the captain where I
am,' begged Clowny, "Just bring
me some Jam and bread 'cause I
am hungry. 1 have had no food to

THE BIRD OF THE WEEK
(BY LOU 13 ALBERT BANKS)
(Cut out this blocK each week and you will soon have an Interesting
bird book of your own.)
THE CHUCK-WILL'S WIDOW
The chuck-will's widow belongs
to the goat-sucker family and gets
Its name from lis off repeating
this strange not "chuck-wlll's-wi-dow."
It Is a cousin of the whip-poor-will
and the nighthawka.
There ate said to be eight-flvo
species of these queer birds- They
are nearly all natives of tropical
countries, but send their represen
tatives Into all parts of the world,
'ihe largest of the family Is thia
chuck-wlU'swidow. Like the nlghi
hawk it Is usually sleepy and quiet
during the day, and does not be
come active until twilight or eve
ning. It is quite well known In the
Southern stutes as far north as
Virginia in the far east, and to
Missouri in the middles west and
on lo Texas. It has a very loud
note lhat carries well and may be
heard at night for a mile. While
j hunting food it flies luw, often
but a few feet from Uie ground.
It spends its daylight hours in
uoiiuw irees ur equuLLeu mjsv uii
some large limb w here It Is dark
and shady. It Is twelve Inches
long, bronzed and rusty, with the
end half of the outer tal feathers
white. He has a small bill, but a
very large mouth good for catch
ing flying moths and other winged
Insects, He sometimes plays the
hifwk and feeds on small birds.
It makes no nest, but lays two
white eggs blotched with gray or
lavender right on the ground.
