NUMBER 5.
INDEPENDENCE, OREGON,
COMMUNITY HONOR FLAG
FLOATS PROUDLY OVER CITY
fold by the Bank Book
The Community Honor Flag, giv
en to Independence because it quick
ly purchased its quota of Victory
Bonds, has been received and now
floats proudly on Main street. Due
credit should be given the two Inde
pendence banks that by subscribing
so liberally for Victory Bonds put
our community “over the top.”
H. Hirsc.hberg received the follow
ing letter from John L. Ethelridge,
state director of organization, which
is self-explanatory:
“We are sending you this after
noon by mail, a Community Honor
Flag for display in a conspicuous
place in your town.
"This is the Government's token
iivappreciation of thè fact that your
community has fulfilled its quota,
and we suggest that your local j
papers be apprised of the arrival of j
this flag, and the fact be given pub- [
licity.
“Wg wish also to record the hearty
appreciation of this deparrnent of
the flue spirit of loyalty and co-op
era ton which your town has display
ed in Jliis, the Victory Liberty
Loan.”

4 PER CENT INTEREST ON SAV NGS
THIS is a nice substantial return
which the Farmers State Bank is
paying on its savings deposits, and
should prove an incentive and re
ward for every thriftily inclined
person in and around Independ
ence to open and build up a Sav
ings Account.
Don’t forget to do your part in the Victory
Loan. Yon may be sure that we’ll do ours.

BUILDING A LARGE KITCHEN
FOR U. S. MEN IN FRANCE
(Extract from a letter written by
T. L. Jackson to Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Fitcliard of this city.)
“Do not think that i am on my
way to the States because 1 am at
an embarkation camp. „ 1 am here
on duty to sea what may he done to
improve the soldiers' food while they
are waiting for ships to take them
home. Just at present I am watch
ing the construction of a large cen
tral kitchen which will feed up to
4400 men at a meal. Soon after 1
came here I wrote a report on the
project and drew up a sketch of the
whole plan which requires the re
modeling of five of the present
buildings and quite a hit of new
construction.
“The soldiers will be under cover
continually from the time they get
to tlie serving tables until after they
have finished washing their mess
kits in boiling hot, soapy water and
boiling rinse water.
"We will also have a permanent
personnel to do the cooking and will
have facilities for baking pastry of
various kinds which will be very
acceptable to the boys from the
front where often they have had
very meager facilities. This plan is
now under construction and we
hope will be completed in two or
three weeks. It could be done soon
er blit for the slow setting of the
French cement which we have to
use. The kitrhpn is 40 feet by 95
feet and has a solid concrete floor
which slopes at the rate of six inches
in twenty feet from both sides to
ward the middle,into an open drain
which will he swept out as frequent-
as required to keep it clean, prob
ably half a dozen times a day.
"There will be three built in stoves
that is, brick work affairs, 27 feet
long and about three feet six inches
wide with a large oven in the middle
section. Beside this there will he
another large stove of the same gen
eral type on which the coffee will he
made.”

A blind girl in the East got married and recovered her
sight a few days later. Marriage is certainly a great eye
opener.— Polk County Observer.
None of our prominent citizens have as yet received a
bomb thru the mails, and the slight is resented.
Died on May 1, the five-cent ice cream cone.
