cool, white apparel, dainty while umlcrmuslius, aud delightful
white fabrics, specially assembled lot this fashion value oc

Headers of The Sentinel will remeni
bor that less thau two years ago we had
some few things to say about the eon
duet of affairs at the comity court
house and that we made some personal
references to the inauuer in which some
of the county officers conducted their
business.
As a result of these remarks of ours
some economics were put into practice
aud it is worthy of notice thut by tue
first of next January only one of the
old officers will be on the job aud his
term of office has not expired since
the time of the fight on the court house
ring.
It is also worthy of mention to note
that the sheriff's office has adopted
several of the suggestions made by The
Beutinel at that time. One of these sug
gestions was that the sheriff should
feed the prisoners at cost and thut he
should accept no emoluments outside
his salary. We dislike to say anything
that may be construed as a kind word
concerning a democrat, but it is a fact
that Sheriff Elkins, immediately upou
assuming office, adopted this sugges
tion.
Another suggestion that we made was
that the deputies should come from dif
ferent parts of the county, and not all
from Eugene. Sheriff Elkins has again
adopted our suggestion, as is witnessed
by the appointment of Alta King, of
this city, as head deputy in that office.
Now. if Stacy Kussell would be as
kind as Sheriff Elkins, we might have
things running to suit us. and we antici
pate that some startling economies will
be effected in his office after the first
of next January.
Some folks said we were foolish to go
after the county officers the way we
did, but we told them we would get re
sults— and our prediction is being rapid
ly fulfilled.

W H A T IS A N D W H O IS A SLA C K E R
What is a slackerf
Most any person with red blood in
his veins can answer that question pret
ty accurately.
He is a person with whom we do not
desire to associate. He is an undesir
able citizen.
A slacker is one who is shirking bis
patriotic duty in these times when all
our energies shoull lie directed towards
winning the war.
/There is no dispute on that point.
But there is some dispute as to just
how much each citizen or any certain
citizen should do, or just bow much he
can be expected to do, as gauged by
the time he must take in earning a liv
ing.
We do not hesitate to say that the
man who shirks a military duty is a
slacker.
We do not hesitate to say that the
person who can give to the Red Cross
and Y. M. C. A., and does not do so, is
one of the most contemptible of slack
ers.
We do not hesitate to say that the
citizen who does not back the boys in
the trenches with his dollars is another
of the contemptible brand of slackers.
We do not hesitate to say that the
person who does not try to save food
and to use as much as possible of the
substitutes is a slacker.
Thus far there is no difficulty in pick
ing the slacker at whom to point the
finger of scorn.
But there are other duties to be per
formed besides contributing to the Red
Cross and the Y. M. C. A. There are
other duties besides subscribing to lib
erty loans and conserving the food sup
uly.
Much voluntary work must be done in
putting on these various drives. Thou
sands of dollars' worth of time must be
given in every community in promoting
war activity.
Women must give liberally of their
time in doing Red Cross work.
Girls must give liberally of their time
in doing Honor Guard work.
Home guard companies are now con
sidered a military necessity, and mem
bers, especially officers, must give lib
erally of their time.
These activities must be carried on.
It is requiring much of the time of cit
izens to do these things. Many must
be greatly inconvenienced to the end
that all these activities may lie brought
to a successful conclusion, for if the
work at home is not, done the boys In
the trenches will be helpless.
Where is the line of demarkation be
tween slacker and patriotic citizen in
carrying on these various activities?
Who is going to sayt Who can sayt
Many busy women are leaving their
housework and neglecting their chil
dren in order to do Red Cross work,
while others with no children and who
seem to have hours o f time hanging idly
