Friends of Captain A. R. Marker, of La Grande, one of the captains in Uncle Sam's new Army, will get an idea t.f his daily life by reading an article in the current number of the Saturday Evening Post, entitled "Daddying the Doughboys." The article describes the life of a captain from early morning, how he trains his meivjn marching, iu hand grenade work, rifle. fire, bayonet drill, and the like. The article increases the respect we have for the captains in the Army. Before the war the average person had the idea that an Army captain's post was an easy berth be stowed upon .; men (in account of political influence. this is wrong. An Army captain must have an education and an equipment that places him above the average.. lie must be a man of executive ability and a leader. He shows his men how to do things because he can do them himself. He inspires his men with respect; he is a father to them. . A- 1.1 i O 11 i 11 . . ... ..

That is why they will follow him anywhere. lo PROGRAM ELSIE BAKER CONCERT ARCADE THE v ATRE TONIGHT. The big crowds at the State Pair sat up and took notice of Union County's exhibit 'and of our fine display of live stock. t lo These are the golden days. The man who doesn't re spond to the smiling days of Autumn in the Grande Hondo Valley must have a grouch. x The schools are pursuing the even tenor of their way. An observant person can notice the progress of the boys and girls each day. Jt is surprising how vast is the information our boys and girls must acquire these days and how quickly and well they do it. " SOME RACE. "1 Baker County beat Union County one-quarter of a point for the honor of having the best exhibit at the State Pair. This was a hair-raising race. We congratulate Baker on winning and the judges on their keenness in judging th-j exhibits down to such a fine point. , -WALT MASON'S LAMENT. ... Not every one who raised garden this Summer was stung like Walt Mason, whose lament is published on this page. 'No doubt many were. But the the fine thing about it was that everyone tried. The Department of Agriculture at Washington sent out a call to everyone to trv to help the 'country by increasing the mipplv oi' foodstuffs. No doubt many who tried were amateurs. Perhaps it would have Deen uetter to Have left the work entirely to experiences farmers and gardeners. But whatever tin; result, so far as production is concerned, it is inspiring to sec the readiness with which the people buckled in to do their duty. THK FATHERS AND MOTHERS WILL ACT. ' . , J ill I1 , f ! i If fo 6h fV& I Est, a- ; y ihem go ahead You might as well have the use of that building you are planning-ythere is nothing to be gained by waiting. There is no prospect of prices going down for some time after the war is over. Go ahead and let your contracts. When it comes to the roof you can make a real saving, and get a better roof by specifying Certain-teed Roofing CERTAIN-TEED is not cheaper because the quality is lower, but because it is a less expensive roofing to manufacture. It is better, not only because it is cheaper, but also because it is light weight, weather-tight, clean, sanitary, fire-retardant and costs practically nothing to maintain. It is now recognized as the preferable typo of roofing for office b;:i!dines, factories, hotels, stores, warehouses, garages, farm .-."dings etc., where durability is necessary. CICRTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years, accord to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply). 'ijicre are many roll roofings on the market, but only one CEP.TA1N-TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more to lay a CERTAIN-TEED roof than it does to lay a poor r-,cf, but there is a vast difference in the wear. You can't tell l.-.e quality of a roofing by looks or feel Your only safety is the i.bcl. Be sure that it is CERTAIN-TEED then you are c..-.'.7.;n of quality and guarantied satisfaction.

TOXS1UT1S BARKED FROM MARINE CAMPS Washington, 11. C, Oct. 1 That little or no tonsilitis has developed among tho thousands of U. S. Marines no in training at a Southern camp, is due, medca) authorities say, to the caution of examining physicans at re cruiting stations. An applicant with enlarged tonsils will not be accepted in the Marine Corps, as it has been pointed out that tonsilitis is more than a "mere ail ment" and in a military camn will spread rapidly. Medical research workers have discovered that tonsili tis is the "base" of numerous diseases, J among which are inflammation of the joints and heart, the latter often J t proving fatal. -, 1 Following Advice. Last Spring wise people came arqund and' said it was my duty to plant to spuds my gar den ground, foregoing things of beauty. I'm fond of flowers and lovely buds, with care I grow and treat them, and'l have not much use for spuds, excepting when I eat them. But then the saares came nlom-.- with taunting sneers and joshes, and said my beds of flowers were wrong. I should be rais ing squashes. The country needed sifted peas and other wholesome rations, not columbines and things like these, to feed the fighting na tions And so I planted peas and beans, up rooted all my lilies, and raised a thousand'tons of greens, and now I have the willies. For no one Seems to want the truck I raised with so nmch ardor; no man will blow a single buck to till with it his larder. My neighbors all have done the same, great piles of fodder growin the wise guys steered them to the game iust as they set me going. No nation comes to buy my sass, no king or queen has rubbered and priced my peas or sparrowgrass, my squashes, plain or Hubbard. So I lament mv roses dead my cup of sorrow drinking; next'yar the na tions will be fed by someone else, I'm thinking. (Copyright 1917 by George Matthew Adams.)
