RED CROSS DRIVE SUCCESS Malheur County Exceeds Quota in the Red Cross Membership Drive Ranks Fifth in the State Latest reports in the Red Cross Membership Drive show Malheur County as fifth in the state with a record of 113 per cent of her quota of 2700, or a total membership of 3050 to date. Several sections have not been heard from and reports in others are incomplete. The Ontario chapter and its jurisdiction, includ ing the Snake river valley, reports 1850. Vale chapter, with its branches and auxiliaries, covering the balance of the county reports 1200. In both districts the chairman of the drivo believe that later reports will swell these numbers, especially as the cam paign has been extended in order to permit Portland and the 27 counties that have not reached their quotas to make good the name of Oregon in this as well as in all other war feats that have been asked by the national government. 182,049 is the total now reached in the state, leaving 68,000 yet to be secured in order to reach the state quota of 240,000. Of this number nearly 40,000 must come from the city of Portland. State leaders are not discouraged, giving the ex tremely bad weather in the Willam ette Valley as a just alibi aHd are determined to continue tho campaign until the quota is exceeded. This will likely be accomplished next week. Under Chairman Mrs. R. E.

This is rather a quiet place, after seeing London. They won't let us go to town very often. I made a visit to the Winchester Westminister cath edral. It is very old, being built in 1076 A.D. nearly a thousanad years ago. I saw a paper today, "The Mal heur Enterprise," that was sent to Lynn Moudy by Jim Rogers, and was surprised to see some of my own let ters in it. I never dreamed I was writing for publication, but it is al right for me if the people read it. The infantry boys are going across soon, and we have been expecting to be transferred any moment. I don't know a thing about the other boys, with thte exception of Lynn Moudy and L. K. Bullock. Say, if the Enterprise ever pub lishes any more of our letters, they might add that we would ah up,rtr ciate some smoking tobacco or cigar ettes, as we are broke most oi the time, and lots of the boys are receiv ing tobacco through the mail. Our favorite brand of' fags (cigarettcb) is Camels, and of tobacco, Velvet and Tuxedo. If they send it to the Ameri can Expeditionary Forces there is no duty on it, but if it comes direct to England there is a big duty to pay. The Alabama boys who are here sound good. They have the real southern drawl and say "you all". I am sorry the censor cut out so much j of my former letter but guess it can't be helped. I see by the paper they are making a big drive for the sale of liberty boi.ds, and that the people are coming through loyally. Even the VALE, OREGON, Benefit Dance on New Year Night Benefit Moving Picture Show and Dance For New Year's Night, Bill Farnum Will Appear New Year's night will witness the staging of another Red Cross Bene fit, in tho form of a moving picture show at the Rex, half the proceeds of which will go to the local Red Cross -chapter, followed by a dance at the Isis Hall, music being fur nished by Hazeltine's orchestra of Payette. Bill Farnum, the popular star, will be seen on that occasion in "The Tale of Two Cities," the well known story by Chas. Dickens. The price of the show will be 20c and 35c, and of the' dance, $1.00 per ticket, and a large crowd is expected. FRUiTLANDDEFEATED Apple Pickers No Match For the Vale Lads Game Well Attended and Professor is Optimistic A rousing basket ball game, full of "pep" from start to finish, was staged at the high school auditorium Friday night; when the Fruitland high school basketball team, went down to defeat at the hands of the Vale team, to the tune of 10 to 1.2. Although the visitors outweighed tho home team, the remarkable team work displayed by the. local boys, wa3 the cause of the final score. Few fouls were called by Referee Hurley, who complimented both teams alike for A' return game Is planned on the. Fruitland floor, and Professor Ruring, who has been coaching the boys, is highly pleased with their first show ing, and expects a good basketball season for Vale high. nitie3 may yet be heard from, as well as additions to those already-reported. Chairman of Vale city district, Mrs. II. R. Dunlop, wishes to thank those who so willingly assisted in the work of canvassing nnd keeping open tho booth at the post ofiico last week, among whom were Mesdames Wm. Bohna, G. A. Ruring, C. C. Burrows, li. N. Beach, Nellie Moudy, II. G. Nee ly, J. E. Lawrence and Mr. G. F. Wild haber, who gave his time to help in tho city canvass, and all others win in any way assisted in the work. Of course, persons resident in othei counties may, if they want to, corw and see the income tax man, who wil be at ' the county seat on the date above mentioned. housemaids over hero who get $90.00 a year buy bonds with all they can save. November 25th Well the infantry boys have gone across, and all that are left here is the aviation section. I received a package from home candy and gee, I enjoyed it, and the gum too. I was just out of tooth paste. Tell Mrs Bullock that her boy is al right over here, and that he is good naturcd anud has lots of friends, and don't like to work when he can kid them out of it. Lynn is happy all tho time, and sure likes the country. I am about to pass another birth day and Thanksgiving, and hope that the war situation will look brighter before another year rolls b.y November 19th Today is my birthday and Thanks giving. I missed the big feed, but will' have it tomorrow. Payday alto comes tomorrow, and the world lool:3 brighter. My Scotch friend sent me a package of cigarettes, and a birth day card. She must have a good memory, as I only told her the date once. The boys are all here and ex pect to move soon. We don't cars much where we go just so we keep moving we have been on the move for so long- it doesn't seem natural to stay in one place long. News is very scarce these days. I heard from the rest of our party in France, Cliff Wetzler wrote me they were working hard and having a hard time learning to talk French. I sup pose that I will have the same time, but I am better than an Indian when it comes to making signs (especially when the other party wears dresses). With best regards to all my Vale friends, from, Yours cordially, ROBERT A. HARLAND. 33rd Aero Squadron, American Exp. forces SATURDAY, DECEMBER QUESTIONNAIRES All Not Citizens Should Fill Out All Questions Under Scries VII Many Cases Determined The local board is continually find ing errors in the returned question naires and have received the follow ing telegram from Adjutant General Williams: "Questionnaires must not bo returned to registrants for cor rection. In all cases registrants must be notified to appear at the office of tho local board for this purpose." The Advisory Board was notified to take special pains that all questionnaires are correct in every respect in order to avoid working any hardship upon the registrants. In regard to answering questions in Questionnaire under "Series VII, Citizenship," the Adjutant General has ruled that in every case if the first question is answered "NO" that all of tho remaining questions should be filled out under that series, re gardless of the instructions in the Questionnaire itself. This is the on ly case in which the instructions printed in tho blanks should be dis regarded and only in the manner do scribed above. Following are the first cases as classified by the local board. Those names which are starred have claim ed occupational exemptions which will be determined by the district board, and unless registrant is placed in class four on some other ground, may be raised to a higher class by the decision of the district board at La Grande. All other cases will remain in the same class as here published unless the registrant or the govern ment win an appeal to tho district board. There are 176,000 subjects of Great Britain in this 'country subject to draft. A great many are to bo called to their country's aid. Receives Xnias Box From Vale Appreciates Christmas Box and Sends Thanks to Vale Chapter Work ers Through Chairman CAMP LEWIS, Wn., Dec. 25th The Ladies of Vale Red Cross Chap ter, Vale, Oregon. Dear Friends: I hasten to acknowledge re ceipt of one of your Christmas pack ages, which was delivered to me bright and early this morning. It isn't often that we officers get an oppor tunity to be "one of the boys" but the Red Cross organization at this camp evidently knew human nature well enough to realize that we, as well as the men, would appreciate your little gift package. This letter is written on your sta tionery and enclosed in your enve lope and, if you had included a pen cil sharpener in your package, would have been written with your pencil. It is little things like this gjft of yours, dear friends, which bring home to us the realization of all wo aro fighting for; which make us gird up our loins with renewed vigor and which make us able to bear any dis comfort and any sacrifice in order to achieve that splendid object, "world democracy," for which we have given our all. Then too, the lump in my throat when I opened your package was doubly large, for being a resident of Enstern Oregon myself (Baker) it was just a gift from home. Keep up the good work dear friends for your efforts are appreciated far more than we can let you know. The knowledge that our nation, typified as it is in you, its mothers, wives and sweethearts, is not forgetting us, makes our burdens doubly easy. ' Yours sincerely, FRANK McCOLLOCH, Captain 363rd Infantry. SUPT. QN PROGRAM CORVALLIS, Or.

BOARD To Work Justice and Assist in Opera tion of Draft Law People Should Give Information ' The"ScIcctive Service Regulations contain: "Every registrant nnd, to a certain extent, every person in each commu nity, is interested in the action of tho Local Boards in each particular case. There will be many classes in which Local Boards have been imposed up on but in which persons affected do not desire to inform such boards of facts within their knowledge. It shall be the duty of tho Government Ap peal Agent to receive such. informa tion and to prepare such appeals in cases where he considers appeals to be to the interest of the government." The fact that, when a man is plac ed in a more deferred class than the' one in which he rightfully belongs, such erroneously deferred classifica tion will bo the cause of some man being inducted into the military ser vice before his rightful time. . It is not the desire of the Govern ment to work a greater hardship than necessary upon any person but it ex pects every man and woman to do his or her duty. In view of tho fact that tho members of the Local Board cannot "have personal knowledge of all the facts in each individual case, it is the duty of every person to place at tho disposal of the Government any information, which they may 7 1918 7 What the new year has in store for Malheur county depends largely upon the people of this section. The Malheur Enterprise wishes each and every citizen of this country a happy and pros perous year of activity and good cheer. May we be able to mcus urc more than asked to the de mands of our government in this time of need. May our stock grow fat, and our fields stay green thruout the year. May our farm land be extended and our cities grow. May we build the big irri gation systems that will unlock an unprecedented era of prosper ity. May our unfound oil depos its be located and produce their ' share to help win the war. May our nitrate fields be highly de veloped and our other resources put to account. But more important than all of these, may the people of the coun ty maintain an even temper with one another. Let differences of opinion be cast aside and all work together in a spirit of unison and accomplishment. The people of a community di rect its advancement, and no amount of natural resources can alone make a prosperous county. May co-operation and industry be the watchwords of Malheur coun ty for 1918, and we can little dream of the good things that will Be brought about at our insistence, MALHEUR COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER BY COUNTY BOARD 2 7, 1917, by the Local Board For the of Oregon, Vale, Oregon Address Scr.

Investigations Proceed Congress is investigating nearly every government department having a part in the war. Much inefficiency is being disclosed and errors aro be ing brought to light in tho ship build ing progrum in ordnance supplies, and in clothing for' tho soldiers. Thruout tho various investigating committees no disposition to muck rake has appeared and whilo tho rec ord of the administration as a whole will be proven a successful triumph of American accomplishment, yet the weak points will bo shown up and much improvement .will result. Red Cross Supplies Prisoners The American Red Cross has been delegated by the government to fur nish needed clothing and supplies to American prisonors held in cnem" cowntries and arrangements havo al ready been made to begin to put the plan in effect.

Back Under Oregon Food Control Will be Back Under Oregon Officials Soon Merchants Want to do What is Right There has occurred considerable mix up in Malheur county over tho activi ties of tho Federal Food Administra tion, altho no harm has been done and everything will bo straightened out in a short time. In fact, tho prin cipal cause of the mixup has been a lack of information locally as to the aims nnd desires of tho administra tion. On December 3, W. K. Newell, sistant Federal Food Administrator for Oregon, wrote u letter to the En terprise for publication in which he stated that he had aiven authority to R. F. Bickncll, Administrator for Ida ho, to assume control over Oregon border towns east of Huntington, in cluding Ontnrio, Valo and Nyssn, Im mediately after this dato Bickncll no tified tho Malheur county merchants that they were now under his control, and urged them to adopt the spot cush and carry home system. Tho county merchants are not all agreed upon whether this is tho best policy or not but are willing to back up tho government in any way that it deems best. However, they do not wish to get into any scheme that has not tho positivo backing of the gov ernment and would like to know whether the other Oregon towns are going to bo put on a cash nnd carry basis, Mr. Bickncll's idea is probably all right, for a cash and carry system will release a great many laborers thruout the country und will affect a reduction of prices to the consumer. But if tho government expects to ev er make such a plan effective, it must have a. positive power to enforco tho same and make it general enough as not to work hardships upon any lo cality, Mr. Bicknell's method of put SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 PER YEAR. 1 IMCTt v- mm tax MAjVCOMING Revenue Officer Will Be in Vale Next Month to Receive Reports From the People It will require, a small army of men to tako the incomo tax returns of per- sons subject to the new law. Callcctor of Internal Revenue, Mil ton A. Miller, today announced that fifteen officers will start from his of fice on January 1st and January 2nd, every one of them will bo on the job at the points in tho respective coun tiso as designated, to meet tho peo ple and help them make out their in come ,tax returns. Tho officer as signed to Malheur county is duo to arrive in Vale on February 8th, and to remain until February 25th, both dates inclusive. He will havo his.of fico in tho court houso at Vale, whero ho may bo found every day of tho dates stated. "It will be well for every unmarried person whose net incomo for 1917 is $1000 or over, and every married per son living with wife or husband whoso net incomo for 1917 is $2000': or over, to call on the income tax,. man and learn whether or not they have any tax to pay," Collector Miller said. "Tho person subject to tax who docs not make return in tho time prescribed-is going to regret it. Tho govern ment will get after all income tax slackers. "There's hardly a business man, merchant or professional man who won't hnvo to make return of income. Fnrmers, as a rule will havo to pay tho tax. Tho safe thing to do is for every person who had a total income of $1000 or $2000, as tho case may bo, and is not sure about what de ductions tho law allows him, to play it safo by calling on tho incomo tax' man. .. .. "Tho man sent by tho Collector will ' have forms for everybody and per- ' sons who expect to call on him need not trouble themselves to write for forms." Harold Gilliam Visits Harold Gilham, ono of tho Valo' boys who enlisted with the first re cruiting officer last April, and who has been in tho Coast Artillery at Fort Stevens since, was visiting Valo incnus tnis wecK, navmg secured a , ien uay lunougn ior imrisimas. uu- ting this plan into effect has -been to give it great publicity, to urgo pa triotic reasons, and to threaten a sort of an official blackmail and boycott of any merchant who rofuaes to do , his bidding to the letter. Thursday of this week George Hun tington Currey received a letter from Assistant Administrator for Oregon, W. K. Newell, in which ho says that tho Oregon Administration had trans ferred control of the sugar situation in Malheur towns to Mr. Bicknell at hia request, but that no intentional slight to this section was intended by tho Oregon Administration, and as he could see that it was only nat ural thut tho people here would rath er remain under their own state of ficials, would writo to Mr. Bicknell asking that he place the matter again entirely in tho hand3 of tho Oregon Administration. County Administrator McKnight, appointed by W. B. Ayer, Adminis trator for Oregon has received con firmation of his appointment nnd in structed to look after further In terests of tho administration. In tho meantimo, however, Bicknell has np pointed, it is understood, Ed Frazier, of Ontario as his representative in Malheur county. The last information on tho subject is a statement by Bicknell in tho Fri day Statesmun in which he says that whilo he will continue to urgo spot cash and no delivery, yet in order to avoid hardships on certain communi ties, a 30 day credit and ono free de livery a day will bo permitted. It is hoped that Malheur county will again soon be entirely under tho Or egon officials and that whatever is best for this community and tho na tion at largo will determine the ex tent to which the cash system will bo adopted here.
