REV. G. L. CLARK LEAVING.
Parting may be very sweet pain, but we do not- care
to be pained by parting with such a man as the Rev. G. L.
Clark, who we are informed is soon to leave La Grande
to go into the service of the Army Y. M. C. A. We wonder
if the public appreciates the value of such a man in .the
community; we wonder if they realize the whole-hearted
endeavor that he has given to every worthy enterprise.
To answer our own question we believe that the public
does. . We know that the business men of the community
have the most kindly feeling for Mr. Clark and that it wiil
be with a deep sense of personal regret that they learn
that the paths of duty call him elsewhere. Much as we
regret that Mr. Clark is to leave us during the period of
the. war, we hope that it will mean that later he will come
back to us. He is going into an important branch of the
service, just as important as the work of the officers.
Soldiers to do their work must be fit, mentally, morally
and physically. Such men as General Pershing and Gen
eral Gorgas recognize the importance of the work of the
Army Y. M. C. A., so that in going to the front we should
feelv,that Mr. Clark is doing just as much .to fight our
country's, patties, as. if he had shouldered a musket him
self. Jn fact, having listened .to the many of Mr. Clark's in
spiring and manly addresses manly is the word that best
describes him anyway we believe that he will put .the
spirit, of fight and determination in our bos, inspire them
not only to do their duty at the front but to come back
from .the war better men, mentally, morally and physic
ally. O :
A SPLENDID RECORD. ... ;
News comes that Andrew R. Marker and Ralph Huron
have both received Captain's commissions in the new
United States Army. Had it not been for the unfortu
nate illness of II. E. Coolidge, L aGrande would have con
tributed three officers to the new army, for Mr. Coolidge
is qualified in every way for service. Captain Marker has
been commissioned as a captain of infantrv: this is n. vponcr.
nition of his splendid qualities of inspiring and leading

.. Every woman should learn to rest

A Dry Shampoo.
A dry shampoo which will make the
hair fluffy and glossy and also give
it a delightful perfume, consists of
two ounces of cornmeal, two ounces
of orrisroot and two ounces of ground
cinnamon. Mix this thoroughly.
First brush the hair to remove all
tangles, then dust it thickly with the
jiowder. Tie it up in a towel for fivo
minutes, then brush it again until
both hair, and scalp are 'perfectly;
clean.

captain's commission' for personal ambition or glory; he
wants it because he has the most intense and patriotic
desire to serve his -country. His path of duty will lead him
on the lield ot battle; undoubtedly he will be among the
first men sent to France. Marker feels as -every true
American should feel that the noblest thing an American
can do is to Jay his me down m service of his country
Thank God that we still have these American left whose
patriotism bums as brightly as those in the days of old. '
Captain Huron is another"of the splendid type of men
that are offering their services to their country. , In the
rigid inspection that the men passed through in the train

a captaincy in the subsistence department. This is a branch

Save all the food you can: can all the, fond vnn sava Ai
what you can, and what you can't can, eat. This in effect
is the new cry of the food control campaign. In the spring
we were urged to plant a srarden and eliminate, wnsts Tt
the summer we were urged to eat the perishables and to
save. Now we are urged to dry, can and store food for the "
coming winter and practice strict economy in the kitchen
and dmmg room. America must learn to take a thought
of the 'morrow. Malheur Enterprise, Vale.

American flyers are reported to be beating German ab

Every patriotic American will approve of rule? adopted
by the Oregon district exemption boards for discharging
from military service men who have been drafted. Thev
demand that all claims for exemption shall ring true.
The aims and the purposes of the boards are' made per
fectly plain. The rules they laid down clear awav the mist
which overhung the definition of "dependent,'-' of what
constitutes service to the nation in industrial vocations
which merit exemption, and hasty marriages before and
after conscription. In cases of doubt, the government will
take the benefit of it. '
No man who has the right to be exempted need fear in
justice. All that the boards require is the truth. Fraud
will be exposod as it should be. No man who has passed

SrJl'AKATE THE RAA1 LAMBS
tKO.U 1HE EWE JLA.MBS
Pullman Wash., Aug. 13. (Specal)
l-'loekmusters and larmers wno are
raising sheep should immediately re
move an tne ram lambs Irom the
ewes. Kunge breeders usually plan
on taking out the ram lambs tr im
August 1st to August 10th. If ihuy
aie not removed, great damage is apt
ieauii, 10 tne ewes, winch wiU ot
urea by the bucks and in course ot
time have lambs onut of season. if
tne ewes should be bred now they will
nave iambs during December anu Jan
uaryin the very dead of winter, this
most inappropriate season for lamb
ing. There are many cases on rec
ord where ewes have been bred and
have produced lambs of which prac
tically 100 per cent died. It is need
less to say that such a band is worth
very little, indeed. Furthermore, the
ram lambs will thrive to better ad
vantage if taken out and herded sep
arately. .
the farm the lambs should be placed
on a nice succulent pasture and should
receive in addition a mixture of four
parts of rolled oats and one-half nart
of oil meal. A ram lamb at that age
will consume in the neighborhood of
one-half to one pound of grain daily.
If the ram lambs are to be used for
breeding during October and Novem
ber, they will have more vitality,
greater size and be more sure of get
ting a greater per cent of lambs if
they have been well fed from wean
ing time onward.
