W. V. King la County Chairman, and
Will Have the Work Well Or
ganlauHl for Drive.
The. United War Work Campaign
will start a drive for 1170,600,000
In the nation, 1770,000 In the state
and 14, 160 in the county on Novem
ber 11.
The plan la to combine the needs of
even organizations, which are a l.
way to be found lending aid to the
peoplo needing It in the war zone and
about troop camps and among the
transporta, ao that their work can go
forward without ao many small drives
being made for funds.
The amount la not a large one, but
will be made up by large numbera of
subscriptions, and the burden will be
light when everyone does hla share.
W. F. King Is chairman of the
drive for this county, and he will put j
Into motion the effective
Hon he had for the collection of the
Y. M. C. A. fund In their recent
drive.
From all Indication across the
water, there will not be a great many
more of these drives, and one of
very best ways to assist In bringing
the war to a auccessful conclusion Is
the organization that add cheer and
conuort to our fighting men. , Do
your nil and do it willingly.

JUDGE N. G. WALLACE
T
IL18 HAD A SHORT AND
RE8ULTFCL TEXCRE
COUNTY AFFAIRS IMPROVING
The Judge Asks For More Time To
Complete Plana Partly Com
pleted. Confident of Winning
To the People of Crook County:
Since November 16. 1917, I have
been your county judge. During
that time I have spared no effort to
secure and hold your confidence and
respect. I came Into the office at the
most crtltcal period In the history of
the country. The financial condition
of the county is indeed critical. I
have undertaken together with the
loyal support of your commissioners
certain reforms and policies, which,
if carried on, will, in a few yeara
rectify many of the error and mis
takes of the past. These things can
not be done in one or even two years,
nut mucn progress has already been
made and will be made each year. I
do not believe there has been one
serious criticism of county adminis
tration, based upon an intelligent un
derstanding of conditions, since I
have been your county judge. Ex
penses have been reduced in all de
partments and I do not believe any
department will make a better show
ing In this regard that that of the
county judge. .The incidental expens
es of this office for the past im
months has been less than twenty dol
lars. All departments of county gov
ernment will show a decided decrease
in expenses.
At the close of the war this coun
ty will enter upon an era of develop
ment never known in its history.
Great things will be done and accom-
! plished, not alone by the individual
I communities, but by the county as a
whole. I want to have my part in
this great work. I want to be able
; to point to something I have done to
further these things..
The office of county judge, as an
office, does not carry with it much
more than hard work and supreme ef
fort, but the honor of being an accep
table county judge, of having my part
in the great things in store for this
county, means a great deal to me
personally, and altogether worth
striving for.
I am asking for an endorsement of
what has been done; I am asking for
an opportunity to help do the things
moBt needed to be done. On account i
of serious sickness in my family I
have been unable to see any consider
able number of the people personally,
but I assure you I am none the less
interested in the result of your bal
lots next Tuesday. My personal and
political enemies have taken advan
tage of my enforced absence from the
county to peddle a list of as dirty
calumnies against me as was ever
heaped upon any man. I ask only
that these things be disregarded un
less positive proof of their truth is
forthcoming. I believe in my fellow
man; 1 believe the people, as a whole,
are liberal, bighearted and fairmind
ed. I believe in the ultimate success
of a just cause and for these reasons
I do not fear the result of the fieht
which has been made against me. I
believe that I will be elected county
judge of Crook county next Tuesday,
and if my hopes and ambitions are
realized, I shall leave nothing undone
to merit your continued respect and
will lend my most earnest efforts to
conduct the affairs of the office to
the satisfaction of the general public
and with some degree of credit to
myself.
. Yours sincerely,
N. G. WALLACE.

Regardless of the fact that Port

which is now being held each year in

ressive spirit of the Portland Union
Stockyards Company, and other pro

deliberate attempt is being made to
move the show up town this year, and
have the livestock show at the Ice

Although you entered the aector
