Even a number of the signers were nuable to attend the sessions. In addition to i-is there was so much misunderstanding about the hours of the sessions that many who wished to attend became disgusted because of the waste of time involved by going to a forenoon session and finding there was none or going to an afternoon session and findnig that it would open an hour late. Many who did attend declared that any one of the numbers was worth the price of a season ticket. This was par ticularly true of the Red Cross lecture and demonstration and the magnificent address by Dr. Adams at the closing ses sion. his subject being “ When the Boys Come Home. ” The address by Dr. Robinson, “ The Call to the Colors,” was also a splendid one. The music by the Neapolitan quartet, the Metropolitan quartet and the David Duggan company was of a high order. There was a tremendous attendance the first night, when the tent was thrown open to hear Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, booster for the Liberty loan. The signers had a large deficit to pay. TRAINING CAMPS IN VARIOUS CITIES OF STATE ARE PLANNED The training camp department of the University of Oregon will m.->n establish training camps in Portland, Ashland Grants Pass, Medford and other cities of the state, according to a statement given out by C. M. Thomas, of Medford, who is directing the work of organizing camps. Instructors for these camps will be furnished by the university and the work will be carried on with the co operation of Colonel John M. LeaJtr, commandant of of the training camp activities at the university. Mr. Thom as ’ further statements regarding plans for the organization of the camps fol low: “ The new draft will call for the reg istration of all men 18 to 45, which will take about 12,000,000 men, a great ma jority of whom have dependents. “ Military men make public state ments that are diametrically opposed to each other, some claiming the war will end next year and others predicting a long war. The average business and professional and business man with this uncertainty facing him feels that he can not afford to leave his business for a period required for military schooling, and yet he fully realizes that the only position he can obtain in military ser vice which will pay sufficiently to prD- vide for his dependents in case he is called is through a commission. The university, recognizing this sentiment, has evolved a plan under which it pro poses through its extension course to give the professional or business man, who is physically fit, and not to exceed 55 years of age, a full course of training in military science, including bomb ing, bayoneting, trench work, map draw- ing, signaling and the like, so that when the course has been completed the uni versity will be able to give the appli cant the markings to which he is en titled the same as if he had taken the same course at the university training camp. “ It is proposed to establish in any community with 50 or more men, meet ing the requirements, a unit to be called the University of Oregon officers' training camp. The regular meetings will be two a week and special meet ings as desired by the members. Each organization will have its own local o f ficers ’ executive committee, but will be under complete control and direction of the university, and the instructors will be furnished by the university.” HARDING WAS BROTHER OF MRS. D. C. WALLACE Thomas F. Harding, whose name ap peared in the casualty list last week, was not a resident of the Cottage Grove country, although he visited here once for a period of two months. Daniel C. Wallace, given as his nearest relative, was once block signal man here for the Southern Pacific. Harding is a brother of Mr. Wallace’s wife and enlisted from Colorado. As he gave the address of Mr. Wallace as Cottage Grove, he must have enlisted two years or more ago, as it has been that long since this was Mr. Wallace’s address.

S. Rauch, o f Deerhorn, will eclipse all individual recorda for evergreen blackberries this season. Hales from patches of berry vines on his farm will aggregate more than $1200. Mr. Rauch has gone into the evergreen blackberry business in earnest. He trims out all runners and cuts paths through the bushes so .that pickers can work easily. John Seavey, of Springfield, will mar ket .$800 worth of berries from his farm and Boy Chelper, of Ferguson, will have a total of $375 worth o f berries sold before the close of the season. One fam ily near Elmira has averaged between $12 and $15 a day picking berries since the season opneed. Samuel Goddard and O. Johnson, both o f the Deerhorn region, are gathering large quantities of berries on their farms. The evergreen berry harvest this year will show an increase of more than 10«) per cent over last year, according to J. VV. Shumate, who has been purchasing large quantities of the berries. He esti mates a total harvest of more than 400 tons. The people of I>ane county are just waking up to the possibilities of the evergreen berry as a resource, Mr. Shumate said. DO YOU KNOW BOYS IN SERVICE OVERLOOKED f The Sentinel publishes in the Red Cross editorial on the front page a list of those from Cottage Grove who are now in the service. It is quite possible that some may have been overlooked. If such is the case, The Sentinel would consider it a favor to be informed of the names of any o f those who have been overlooked. Boys whose parents live in Cottage Grove and who had no estab lisbed home elsewhere, or whose nominal home was Cottage Grove, have been in eluded in the list. It is also possible that the list may include some who have been dropped from the service. If such is the case, The Sentinel would be pleased to be in formed of that fact algo. Banks are now ordered by the trens ury department at Washington to re port all subscriptions for Liberty bonds to the Liberty loan headquarters of «ach bunking district, and it is no longer op tional with a Jiarik whether it shall keep secret the names and amounts of subscriptions. Heretofore in the various drives, the banks have followed their time honored custom of considering nil business trans acted as of confidential nature. But this new order of the government compels the bunks to give the Liberty loan bead- quarters information so that complete records can be kept of all subscribers. This is done on the theory that pur chasing bonds is separate and distinct from the bank’s ordinary transactions with its customers, which transactions are always regarded in strict confi dence. But in the sidling of Liberty bonds the banks are simply doing patri otic work for the government, represent ing the government and subject entire ly to its order in everything relating to the bond transaction. It is not contemplated that all pur chases be published, but it is a possibil ity that “ pre-campaign subscribers” will be published in an honor roll show ing the names o f those who voluntarily subscribed and the amount« subscribed without solieitation prior to the opening of the campaign September 28. The fact that the banks will give the government lists of bond buyers does not mesri, however, that the amount of anyone’s bank deposit will be made public. That is confidential business between the bank nnd the depositor and will not be divulged. The Sentinel— the live wire news paper. •** Captain Knox Is on Pershing’s Staff.
