Trench warfare in Europe is bring
ing old weapons into use, as well as
some new ones. For hand to hand
work, the French use a short, sharp
dagger. Other soldiers use spiked war
clubs, while others carry hammers
tied to the wrist. These intimate
weapons are supplemented by nana
grenades, also a weapon of some an
tiquity, and trench raids offer, on a
small scale, about the roughest form
of modern warfare.

J. C. Ardrey Died in
Portland Yesterday
Was Chief of Police Here Until Jan
uary 1 He Was Well and Favor
ably Known.
J. C. Ardrey, La Grande's chief of
police until January 1 of this year,
died in Portland yesterday of poly
cythemia, a rare blood disease. Mrs.
Ardrey and two children, Ruth and
Nate, were with him when he died.
The family lives at 621 Glenwood ave-
e. Funeral announcements have not
yet been made. . A telegram today
from Portland merely announced his
death.
As chief of police Mr. Ardrey was
uniformly courteous and from long
residence here this quality made him
popular. For the past year he has not
been well and his removal to Port
land was in the hopes that he might
regain his health. He left La Grande
soon after January 1.
Polycythemia, or increase of the red
corpuscles of the blood, is a rare dis
ease. Mr. Ardrey's case was the first
to come to the attention of La Grande
physicians for some time.

Fioyd Maxwell, of the Oregon Seoul
of Union, who was in the city Monday
said there are 50 cases of measles in
Union at the present time. The schools
are closed and the town is split into
nio two factions by the order of the
ctfy health ollicer over tne closing.
Ine school board opposed an order of
the city health officer, Dr. Emery, to
close the schools and only did close
under protest to the state board of
"health. The mayor of the city, how
ever, has a letter from Dr. Roberg,
State health officer, in which the offi
cer asks the mayor if he thinks it is
necessary for him (Roberg) to come
to Union to take charge of the situa
tion or if the mayor can see that the
'cases are quarantined.
The trials of the two men charged
with violations of the quarantine law
are on today. The men to be tried
are Superintendent of Schools Aramt,
charged with tearing down a quaran
tine flag placed on North school by
the health officer, and R. J. Kitchen,
charged with breaking quarantine.
The latter is an attorney and says he
will gladly pay a fine if the law is
shown him whore it is ordered that
'measles be quarantined. Attorney
'Kitchen says the law does not men
tion measles in any place.

Everybody Planning
, To Clean Up Debts
The week of February 19 to 24
which has been designated as NA
TIONAL PAY UP WEEK, has been
chosen because previous national
movements have worked out so well
that the popularity of the idea is
spreading rapidly.
Tho permanent inauguration of such
a movement as this means the end to
loose business. It moans the end to
slipshod methods. Remember, the con
sumer always pay for poor business
methods. You pay m higher prices.
You pay in less efficient service, so
the National Pay Up idea should mean
a reduction in the high cost of living,
because it will lead toward shorter
credits and more cash business.
when you can start, and about how
"many homes are within six miles of
you in each direction. This is a splen
did opportunity for several men in
Union county and counties adjoining
to make good money, working steady
or spare time. Some of the field men
earn $300 per month; one farmer
earned $1000 working spare time only.
No investment or bond necessary.
