"THE PAPER THAT EVERYBODY READS"
INDEPENDENCE, POLK COUNTY, OREGON. FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1917
NO. 49
VOL.5
,.
THE RHYMING SUMMARIST
Man wants but little here below
But he wants that little long,
He'll eat bis pickles with a smile
If someone sings a song;
He'll swear he likes whatever comes
Tho it chokes him up with pain,
And today
- He'd even pray
For a good old soaking rain.
Sometime soon we all will go,
Even the good must die, -We
know Saint Peter will hold us up
When we get to the gate on high;
But if we can boldly speak and say,
Not the least afraid,
"All and I
When it was dry,
We didn't cuss, we prayed."
This will please him ver) much,
The way we went about it,
He may pass us thru the stile,
Tho we muchly doubt it;
(The reason we are prone to doubt ii because
According to Scripture while prayer helps
A good deal it won't get
Us into heaven unless it's
Backed up with A No. 1 recommendations.)
Old Man Grunt sits in the shade
Keeping cool by fanning,
Mrs. Grunt is in the kitchen place
Boiling out and canning;
Dear Sadie watches all the time
T he army. draft and numbers,
If five-o-one
Gets a gun,
The tears will spoil her slumbers.

grounds.

RED CROSS MEETS
Despite the warm weather the
Independence Red Cross Auxili
ary met at the Moose Hall last
evening. Routine business was
transacted with B. E. Smith pre
siding. Miss Florence Gebo re
ported from the amusement com
mittee that $61.85 was realized
from the recent Red Cross dance.
The basement of th M. E.
church was generously offered
as a meeting place, but as the
Moose Hall is more centrally lo
cated the Auxiliary voted to con
tinue meeting there.
The next meeting will be held
next Thursday. July 2G. All
members are urged to come.
BULLY FOR GUST J. ETC.
Gust J. Papatheodorokounnounduris Tomich
sclakopulos of Chicago has bought a United
States bond and says be is an American citizen.
DAVE "LAYS OFF"
J he heat of last Saturday was
too much for Dave Boydston and
he was obliged to "lay off" for
the day. His absence from the
job is so infrequent that to see
someone else on the wagon
caused much comment. Fot
nearly twenty-five years, Dave
has carried the mail to ar d from
the depot dunnr which time he
has missed lees than a dozn
days.
HEAT KILLS HORSE
One of the three large horses
used to haul the Standard Oil
wagon around this section
dropped dead in the harness
Saturday afternoon. The beast
could ot stand the heat.
Several farmers were obliged
to quit work in the fields Satur
day afternoon because it got too
hot for both man and beast.
DRAFT NUMBERS
Following herewith are the
names and serial numbers of
all the registered men from
Independence, Buena Vista,
Suver and East and West
Luckiamute precincts.
; Bear in mind that it would
be well for all the registered to
watch the papers for the num
bers drawn, especially those
who are not in the county where
registered. While the exemp
tion board will notify everyone
whose number is drawn, the
government will not be respon
sible if the notice does not reach
those to whom it is sent, and the
failure of any "called" man to
not appear on time thru ignor
ance will not save him from be
ing punished.
There seems to be a misunder
standing of how the draft will
be made. The drawing will take
place in Washington. For ex
ample, if the number 13 is
among those drawn, every regis
tered man in every county or
division in the country (unless
bis county has been exempted)
whose serial number is 13 must
appear for examination on a
date desigiated by the county
exemption board. All should
familiarize themselves with the
rules governing exemption if
they intend to apply for the
game.
The serial number appears
after the name in the list below:
