Mndneil’a extreme height of 7'A feet was nttwined at 20 yenrs o f age. At first he was somewhat embarrassed by tlie nttintion he attracted but hns got ten well over that during two yenrs or. the rond. He is normal in every way eseept his height and suecessfnlly passed the army examination but was refused admission int«> the army beennse of being 111 inches over the extreme height permitted. He said the recruit ing officers probably thought the Araer ¡■■nil boys nre killing them o f f fast enough without his going over then- mid scaring them to death. Mmlscn weighs a mere 215 pounds but has grown so fast in the direction of height that he hasn’t been nlilc to give milch attention to *•*» unliolstery He has increased in weignr since at tnining his height ami hopes to be a real man some day.

The orginiixation of rnnvnaning tennis tnkes the time of many workers and house to house solicitation fur the sale of bonds, in view of the needs of the government, is looked upon as wasted energy ami unnecessary labor. “ Buy vour bond» early and buy with out bi'iiig linked to buy,” is to be made the campaign rallying cry in lunie conn ty and the leaders in the rampnign are confident that the people here will «wiug into line with their quota as s|M*ed!ly u» they \voul«l na a re»ult of perwmnl »oliritation.

The high mark was reached Tuesday with receipts of over four tons. The unusual receipts this week have brought the average paid our each day for prvnluce during the sen «on up to rlo»e to $300.

COMMERCIAL CLUB IS NOW FREE OF DEBT KHAKI C LAD FIV E Y E A R OLD ORATOR IS SON OF FORMER COTTAGE GROVE GIRL j | j | I KNOX PRICE, NATIONALLY KNOWN AS LIBERTY LOAN SPEAKER, IS NOT BOY WONDER BUT NATURAL RESULT OF SCIENTIFIC BIRTH, REARING, TRAINING I.itllc Knox Price, 5th years of age, who, with bis parents, Mr. nnd Mrs. E. C. Price, is visiting at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Murah I.. Knox, •» 11 • t who has a national reputation as :« lib erty loan speaker, is spoken of in many of the newspaper* of the country us n boy wonder. Hut he is not really a boy wonder. His parents do not consider him a boy wonder. O f course, ue is a p-ecocious youngster. He has ability that no other boy of his ag<> possesses. He bun an ability on the platform that is envied by many who have spent a lifetime in the public arena. But he is really a natural boy. He haa the same physique as any other l»oy of his age. He lik«*s to play just tin- same ns any other boy and enjoys the s a m e things that «ither bovs do. He is just a natural boy whom his parents have brought to a higher mental con dition through natural methods. Knox was prepared prenatally for just whnt he is nnd since his birth he hns been trained nlong the lines for which he was prenatally prepared. That his phy sique mnv not be impaired by his men tal attainments he is scientifically but naturally fed, he sleeps ami takes his regular daily exercise according to rules which his parents believe will maintain his physi«|iie. At three years of age he had the physique uf nny boy of tbnl age, but mentally he was a boy »even years ol age. At that tender nge he began his career as a public speaker. Since then he has developed even beyond the ex peetntions of his parents. He is one of the official speakers for the liberty loan, though not a four minute man, as often referred to. His talks nre usually of 15 minuten or longer. His voice is a childish one but clenr as n bell and of exceptional carrying power. His ges turen are largely thus«» which he him self hns developed, the natural gintures which a child uses but whirh come so hnrd to a grown-up learning to appear on a platform. A debt w hich the commercial club bad been carrying for about ten yenrs was w ipci| o ff the slate this week, when the final payment on the note was made. The debt was incurred for expenses of differunt activities carried on by the club, among them being cuinpiiigns for a new county. With all the other <le- iiuinds that have been niudc for money, it is remarkable that this showing should be made this year and the fant Little Knox's advent iis » liberty loan that the debt has been wi|K-d out in due and Bed Cross speaker wns unpremedi in n large measure to the activities of fated.

As a letter was received from Warren Edwards under the same date, in which he said all the boys, including Wyatt, were doing fine, it is not thought that the latter is in any great danger. As some time has elapsed since the letter was written it is quite probabel that Ernest is out of the hospital hy this time. The meetings this week in which Pastor J. M. Comer upheld the obser vance of Saturday aa the Sabbath and Kev. Lrnust C. Love, Christian church pastor from Santa Rosa, Calif., upheld the observance of Sunday, attracted large and intereste«! audience«. Adher ent« of both the speakers »-»pressed themselves aa perfectly satisfied with the showing made for their sides of the question and the net result seeuia to be that those who believed in the obser vance of Saturday are more firmly con vinced that that is the proper day and those who believed in the observance of Sunday are just as firmly convinced that that is the proper day. The argument centered around wheth er or not the entire moral law ■« con tained within the ten commandments and whether or not these were super seded by later laws laid down by Christ himself. Pastor Comer took the position that these are the laws referred to in all pas sages of the bible which refer to the law, that they contain the complete moral code and have never been set aside or superseded. Rev. Love's contention was that the ten commandments never contained all the law and that they wqre annulled by the Savior himself and the first day of the week designated as the day of wor ship, dating from the resurrection. Meetings were held Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in the tent used by Pastor Comer in conduct ing his evangelistic meetings. * CAPT. ROY KNOX THOUGHT TO BE NOW ON STAFF OF GEN. PERSHING Former Resident of Cottage Greve Is Making Good in Splendid*Style on the Western Front. It is quite likely that Captain Boy Knox, s former Cottage*torove boy, son of Mrs. Sarah L. Knox, and brother of Duke and Frank Knox, is now a member of General Pershing's staff. Captain Knox entered the service is captain of Fifth company, o f Albany. Later he was made captain of a supply company and transferred to the 65th •oast artillery, o f which many Cottage Grove boys are members. He must have made good iu that responsible position to have been recommended for such a listinct promotion as that which now cornea to him. The belief that be is now- on General Pershing’s staff is based on a part o f a letter written to an Albany friend, in which he says: “ Tomorrow I start across France for the headquar ters of General Pershing. It is a detail that is very desirable to me and came entirely unsolicited. I am at a loss to know why. A telegram came asking that I be sent up for work that I was espe cially qualified for. I do not know what the nature o f the work will be but I do not think it can be quite as trying as that I am doing now.” Prune Dryer in Full Operation. The prune dryer is now in operation.

The price of subscriptions to The Sentinel goes to $2.00 on October 1. The price is now $1.75, with a discount of 25 cents for paying a full year in ad vance. Therefore, there is a difference of 50 cents between the price you now pay for a full year in advance and the price you will pay after October 1, which is now but a short distance away. WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS: You must stop all papers that are not paid in advance at the time the subscription expires. This leaves but one thing for a newspaper to do. It must collect its sub scription accounts PROMPTLY in advance or dis continue sending the paper to those who do not heed the government’s order. If your subscription expires within the next few months, it will pay you to take advantage of the present rate and save 50 cents hy doing so.
