in the splendid capacity of ' this coun

Mr. Wilson, it makes me angry o

it to "see' your big.' strong boys go
away. It would kill me if .mine would
have to go,'?, and so forth, I tell them
that' my boys are not cowards, that

soon, and he is needed, badly, I must
let him go, but just now I think I have
done my share, don't you? We preach
patriotism to our children at home

the country needs them, let them hide

, to be exempt, as one of my neighbors
did whose son was working away from
home, but came home to help pop on
the farm ami fired the hired man to
make room for the son, a large, husky
boy of 21, like my tall one. If you
have the time, Mr. Wilson, and want
to see a healthy man, go to Company

Columbus, Ohio, and ask for the

please to return my treasures (the

Interesting news of Mr. and Mrs.
C, S. Jackson is contained in a letter
which Mrs. Jackson recently sent to
a Pendleton friend. Mrs. Jackson,
with her husband, is at present so
journing at White Sulphur Springs,
where Mr. Jackson is slowly recuper
ating from his recent illness. He is
now able to take short rides hut
spends most of his time in his room.
In speaking of the effect that war is
having on the eastern hospitals and
their staffs of doctors and surgeons,
Mrs. Jackson declares that Dr. Huch
Young, the world famous specialist
who operated on Mr. Jackson, left the
day following for France, taking with
him 65 trained nurses and in conse
quence, Johns Hopkins' staff was so
reduced that only crippled orderlies
were available to wait on Mr. Jackson
and that she, herself, did most of his
nursing. Philip Jackson is expecting
his appointment to the Harvard sup
ply transportation corps at an early
date and Mrs. Jackson states that
Dean Fay believes the corps will be
in France when the bulk of the U. S.
army arrives. Thunder showers have
been very prevalent, Mrs. Jackson
says and she is hopeful that she and
Mr. Jackson will soon be able to como
