Sometimes a mean man is liber al with his conversation. Hf somebody beats your best the thing1 for you to do is to improve your -best. . The poorest excuse a man can give ,is to; blame society for his own short comings. '.

Notes From Camp, Fremont Cal. Friends: Sumpter, Or., Aug. 27, 1917. Sergeant Langrede, truck 1 driver, knows today that some kind of auto mrliles Ji not require water. He spent two ho-i.-j hirilin- for the place lo pour wator int.i Major-General Hunter's air coo el machine. H. W. Happel, commissary general, has perfected a system whereby he feeds two armies without much trouble-r-an army of soldiers and an army of workmen. Chinese form the backbone of his system. He has learned some Chinese words in order to handle his copks to tiie greater sat isfaction of all concerned. It i'e not unusual to see Happel suddenly end a ! discussion with a couple of orientals by a few, well-chosen gutteral fiMes in the language of See Yip Sftm. vShoes for School Don't Economize by Buying Cheap Shoes Did you ever buy a 75c. ax? .

O WE MUST FINISH THE WORK. , , "With the first installment of the liberty loan com pleted, immensely gratifying as is the result, We must re member that the financing of a great war is never com pleted until the war is finished; and we are going to finish this war to our satisfaction in order that America may not be finished. We must stay on the job and do it in true American fashion. We have proved ourselves on the first test; we must be prepared for the second, the third, and the fourth if need be. "This war must be fought to a finish. It must be so fought, because there is an irrepressible conflict between two irreconcilable principles and systems of organized society that never will be'settled until it is fought to a fin ish. The world can no longer survive half democratic and half autocratic. One or the .other must triumph. We are confronted today with an analogous situation to that which confronted the Nation in 1861, when the immortal Lincoln said, 'This Nation can no longer endure half slave and half free.'
