Did you ever see a boy or man
fight who always keeps smiling? If
so, you have never seen that boy or
man defeated.
This Is true with a body of men,
with an army of men, and to this
end, to prevent your boy, your;
friend's and your neighbor's boyj
from becoming homesick while fight- j
Ing your battles, a plan has been !
worked out by the war department '
and a chain of theatres and tents:
established at all the camps, both in j
America and in France, which are
called Liberty Theatres, where clean
play, movies and other kinds of en
tertainment will be given at actual
cost of production.
The plan carries with it a scheme
to ask the people to buy coupon
books, smlleage books they are
called, which will contain 20 cou
pon, any one of which will admit
the bearer to any of the government
Liberty theatre.
Yon may think that you have
made sacrifice enough for this war,
that you should not be troubled
with little matters like shows for
soldier. - ' ; --
Did you ever think of the sacri
fice the soldier is making, serving
under our flag in weather much
worse than Oregon knows, at less
than he receives when at home, and
did you ever think of the inconven
iences you may experience if these
boys become disheartened and the
war goes on, or comes on, to Amer
ican soil?
We have not yet commenced to
make sacrifices in this war. It is
your fight just as much as it is the
fight of the boy in uniform.
Do you think this campaign worth
while? The War Department does,
and has outlined a plan whereby you
can help in its execution.
It you wish to assiBt, call at this
office, and we will outline the plan
further to you. '

"The rules issued January 11,
1918, covering the quantity of flour
to be sold to each customer, remain
in full force and effect.
"These regulations are not made
on account of any present shortage
of flour, but in order that a shortage
may not occur later, and thus pre
vent this Nation from doing its full
duty to its Army In France and to
the Allies."

Crook County Representative
T. M. Baldwin is in Portland this
week representing Crook County In
the completion of the plans for the
Third Liberty Loan drive. The
amount for this one will be more
than for the former two drives
combined, which will mean that the
amount will be about fifty million
for the state.
Forest Supervisor V. V. Harpham
says that applications for grazing
permits in the Ochoco National for
est must be in his office by February
28 this year if the stockmen wish
to get the ranges they desire.
Considerable confusion has oc
curred in the past by stockmen al
lowing this matter to be delayed un
til later In the season. The demand
for range this year makes this mat
ter more important than ever be
fore, and it should not be neglected.
