LOUD FILLS
RANKS OF MILITA
War with Japan or, for that matter,
with any other country, would find
tho National Guard of Oregon ready
for yeoman service, says the Portland
Telegram. All the companies are far
above the minimum requirement, and
with the exception of the latest re
cruits, thoroughly drilled and ready
for field service at a day's notice.
Enlistments of late have been some
what more rapid thnn ordinarily. This
In thought to be due In large measure
to the apparent prospect of war with
the little brown men sooner or later.
Taken as a body, members of the
Kuurd are of the opinion thut there
may be a clashing of arms at no very
distant dale. Drills are held at the
armory every night In the week ex
oept Saturday, and "war talk" Is In-j
flulged In on every occasion when the!
men come together.
There was on December St a totnl
of H36 members of the National
Ounrrt In the state, nil but elKht of
whom, comprising the staff corps and
departments, would be subject to field
duty Instantly on call. This puts the
guard In better condition, perhnps,
than nt any other time In Its history.
So fur as the latest recruits, those who
have enlisted because of the outlook
of wnr being strong In their own per
sonal opinion, double the number of
drills required by tho regulations are
being held, and it will not be long ere
they will form harmonious factors In
the various company fighting machines.

and Pennant Is Torn Prom Staff
For the brief period of a few hours
about three to be exact, the high
trhool sophomore class was Jubilant
last evening. The cause of It all was
that after days of Idleness, the class
Mplrit has aguln manifested Itself and
the ulterior evidence of this fact was
the appearance on the flag staff of the
Ontral building lost evening, of a '10
pennant. - The flag's life was short, for
the juniors had removed It In less
than three hours. At any rate the
Juniors are given the blame for It.

This is the testimony of every typewriter user who knows
by experience the relative performance of writing machines.
The man of all men who swears by the Remington is tha
man who has tried to get the same service out cf some other
machine.
A man may know the Remington or he may know some
other typewriter, but the man who really knows typewriters is
the man who knows the difference between the Remington,
and others.
