V FOLK CO. BANKERS CLUB BOOSTERS Polk county is the first county in Oregon to have all the bank ers behind club work. This work among the children is pro vine a national benefit inas much as the club'i members are food producers and is highly commended by President Wilson. Our ex-county school superin t nder.t, Harry Seymour, is the p. ate leader of this work and County Supervisor Moore is the c unity leader recently appointed to do the work during the sum mer months. The banks have all promised to loan the boys and girls money on their own note at six per cent if chey are members of the club or want to join. Ihey will get assistance through the 0. A. C. Extension Dept. in the proper care and management of the pigs. The Falls City Bank financed twenty-six last year and they report that every child met the obligations on time and in a business like manner. . Supervisor Floyd D. Moore has been working this week among the bankers and ia happy over the ready response to the work. Mr. Allen and Mr. Fortner of 0. A. C. have assisted with the work and are prepared to give these club boys and girls assist ance at any time they request. Polk county is again putting itself on the map as a pro gressive county. (I.

But the question of the hour is, "where to et good, satisfying eats at medium prices." WE HAVE THE ANSWER It is plainly in evidence in every part of our store. It consists of Fresh, Pure, Clean Groceries And the smiles of many satisfied customers is the best of proof that we make good on every claim. u w w v mm m COMMUNITY ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Ed.

INSTANT ACTION SUR PRISES MANY HERE This grocer's story surprises local J people: "I had bad stomach trouble. AU food seemed to sour and form gas. Was always constipated. Nothing helped until I tried buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL astonished hie with its INSTANT action." Because Adler-i-ka flushes the ENTIRE alimentary tract it relieves ANY CASE constipation, sour Btomach or gas and prevents appendicitis. It has QUICKEST action of anything we ever sold.

WORK NEAR CATTLE FRONT Handle Messages for the Ordnance De partment and Acquire New Vocabu lary in Order to Do It Make Few Mistakes in Handling Scores Which Comprise Something Like 23,000 Sep arate Items. The following, on the work of Brit ish womeu ut the front, appeared In a rot-out Issue of the Ltmdou Dully Tele graph from a correspondent "at the base iu France :" Now every signaller was a very fine Waac, And a very tine Waac was she e Happy, happy shall we be. There's none so fair as can compare With the V. A. A. C. There Is a considerable amount of musical talftit and an abounding sense of fun nmout the girls who are cheer fully fulfilling the tusks they have taken up. This you Judge whenever you attend one of their parties. The Hues quoted are from some patter verses, on Uie plan of "Old King Cole," In which unit administrators, area con trollers and cuptnins of army signallers of a particular corps came In for good humored banter by name. The whole corps always speaks of Its members as "Waaes," and unless a staudard dic tionary of the future gravely udmlts the word und Us origin to Its columns there will be trouble for the students yet to be of the war. Signalers, It may be said, are an Important section of Uils new arm, and theyare especially proud that they are allowed to wear the blue and white armlet that, under the king's regulations, Is distinctive of the telegraphic service. At one base, through which messages of supreme Importance are constantly passing, the w omen are pronounced to be doing excellent work. All have had the full training of the post ollice and are experts with the Wheatstone auto matic system. Hut some specialized training has bt-en necessary, for cer tain codes have been adopted and ab solute accuracy Is essential when single letters or figures are invested with weighty significance and the smallest error might have the gravest results. Very efficient, too, Is the telephone service, employing, as at home, a num ber of highly trained young women. Scotland, It may be said, has furnished a large proportion of the girls currying out these responsibilities. A New Vocabulary. This question of codes and letters and figures constitutes a bigger diffi culty than the outsider would Imagine. When a staff officer escorted our party through a great depot of the ordnance department it was quickly realized that these women have to acquire what is ltterully a new vocabulary to them. Now, no shop In the world contains the variety of Items and parts und sections that this arm of the service brings to gether and Issues. Its very magnitude In the earlier tluys, even, of the war led to the adoption of a code of letters and figures to denote its division, at least, where thousands of requisitions pour In dully. Thanks to this method It became possible to utilize the help of French women long before the possi bility of securing feminine assistance from home loomed Into view. The In telligent French girl might not posse a rudimentary acquaintance with our language, but she could understand that all requisitions bearing a certain letter and figure were to be brought to gether In the rack provided, and thus a first stage of sorting could be ef fected. By special favor a glimpse wus ac corded of the stupendous labor by which the guns are kept at their tire less work. If there Is a subject on which the average girl clerk Is less like ly to be Informed than upon another It Is surely thut which touches the technicalities and working parts of modern artillery. Yet here are women who, In a very few weeks, have learned enough to know In which direction to send forwurd requisitions concerning 9.2 guns, or trench mortars, or the mightiest howitzers. It was not always thus, and mistakes even now are made that recall the favorite story here of the young lady who, when a demand came down for urmored hose, gayly re ferred it to the authorities charged with the Issue of clothing. Hut even In a department widen stores some thing like !,0KJ separute Items the mistakes have now come to be few Bud far between. Varieties of Work. Less exacting ut the outset Is the work upon which they are entering at the clothing stores, where It is esti mated that four women will take the place of eM-ry three men formerly en gaged there.
