ish Influenza Frldty, and several oth

One death Is accredited to that dis
ease, but almost all of the other cases
are either convalescent or considered
light by attonding physicians.
The prompt action of authorities In
closing all public meetings on Satur
day evening, prevented a wide spread
of the disease at the beginning.
All schools, churches, theaters, and
other public places have been clos
ed, and meetings of any kind are for
bidden by the city authorities.
The number of cases Is estimated
at from six to eighteen, but because
of the fact that many of them are
light, the exact number Is not easily

HERBERT HAMILTON WRITES
TO HIS MOTHER
"France, Oct. 8, 1918.
The following letter was received
by Mrs. R. Hamilton from her son.
Herbert, who is in service over there:
"Dear Mother:
"Well I have left St. Mosalre. We
are up on the front. It gets pretty
hot up here sometimes, but a person
don't mind it so much after It starts.
Brewster was right when he said this
war was fierce. Up at the front we
sure see some awful things. I was
up on the Toul Sector in that drive
hauling ammunition the night they
put -over the barrage. You know I
didn't imagine there was so many
guns sticking around In the brush,
but when they broke loose you didn't
know which way to go, tbey were fir
ing over our heads and it wasn't out
a few minutes until the smoke was so
thick that It hurt our lungs. The
barrage lasted only four hours before
the boys went over but we were not
up there when they went over. I have
been under fire several times. I re
member once we drove into a town
the Boch were shelling and we didn't
know it until we got into it. It was
night and some dark too. We were
just stopping when a shell landed
over 'a stone wall about twenty feet
from us and the rocks and pieces of
shell passed over our heads and hit
in tl;e trees on the other side of us..
I tell you that is when' a fellow wishes
he was miles away. The next time I
went up to the front we were on the
other side of the trenches. We pass
ed a jfrench town, or what had once
been a town; the trenches had been
dug through the center of it and
there was nothing left but a pile of
rock,
W eare now on the Verdun Sector.
We can" over just before the big
drive. We were stationed in the
woods for a while but we are now in
a barn. It was an apartment once:
the people living in part of it and the
horses and pigs lived In the other
part. '
We have had lots of rain here in
the last month but the roads are holding-up
flue under the wet weather
and heavy traffic. The Boch Bhell
some of the roads but there Is always
men working on them and they soon
fix them up. The French went mad
over the peace talk; in fact everyone
was excited.

APPEAL FOR tXK)PERATION
.TO THE PUBLIC: '
. Absolute, consistent cooper
ation upon the part of the pub
lic is urged in a supreme effort
to rid Prlneville of the epidemic
of influenza.. The disease will
take a serious toll of lives unless
extreme and drastic efforts are
made by the public to stop Its
spread. This is an appeal for
the widest cooperation in the.,
hope that compliance with the
following regulations may quick
ly stop the disease and enable
Prlneville to become free of the
epidemic.
To the People:
Remain at home unless hav
ing necessary business elsewhere,
keep away from stores, offices,
and other places where a crowd
is likely to gather.
Your Own "Home:
None but members of the
household must be permitted to
enter or leave a house where a
case of influenza exists. Those
ill should not leave the house
unless permisison is granted
from health officer. In case of
sickness with influenza, isolate
the patient. Have only one per
son as nurse, enter and leave the
patient's room. That person al
ways wear a guaze mask over
nose and mouth. Hands should
be thoroughly washed before
leaving the room.. The sickroom
should have windows open day
and night. Floor and woodwork
should be frequently wiped
with damp cloths.
Places of Business: '
'Ventilate thoroughly and con
stantly all places where the pub
lic or your employees assemble.
Fumigate all parts of place every
day.
Public Places of Dwelling:
Properly heat all occupied rooms
or apartments. Thoroughly fum
igate rooms vacated by tenants
at once.
These regulations have been
made at the suggestion of those
qualified to pass upon the best
means of stamping out this dis
ease. A glance at the death re
cords ih other places should be
sufficient to convince any per
son of the necessity for strict
compliance Uh these sugges
tions. .

REV. VAN MS ON WAR RELIEF
j Declares Urgent Necesity of Keeping
Up Best Efforts In Spite Of The
, Talk Of Early Peace
Somebody Cares 'Till The Boys" Come
Home
Is the war really about to end? For
months past, while the hope and pros
pect for peace seemed constantly to
grow brighter, we have compelled
ourselves to carry on unabated our
I grim preparations for battle. We
j knew that we dare not relax our vlg-
ilance or weaken in our effort until
final and . complete victory should
I come. So we have splendidly equip
ped our army with all that is needed
to make it what it is today, the most
wonderful ' fighting machine ' the
world has ever known.'' We have
put into the hands of trained men the
I implements of warfare, and we have
i put into their hearts a spirit of cour
age and. confidence and high idealism
as fine as the spirit of the old crusad
ers. Napoleon said that this inde
finable something which we call mor
ale is to other factors in war as three
to one." Now when the day of peace
finally comes and is made secure, we
may put into the scrap heap most of
this machinery of war and pray that
it never will be used again, but the
morale of our men hat finest part
of their Equipment must be sustained
until they have found their places
again in our home Ufa ana civil at
tain. How much is it worth to
bring back to Crook county the splen
did men who have gone out from us
three hundred of them perhaps
and bring with them unbroken all
the strength of their training and
discipline, the rich fruits of their ex
periences and the spirit of their splen
did adventure? If the government is
right in estimating that we would
netf& to spend 24 billion dollars to
keep our army adequately trained
and equipped ne'xt year, surely we
can afford to spend the $170,500,000
that the united war work committee
is asking to keep up its splendid mor
ale '"till the boys come home." This
is at the ratio of $140 for training
and military equipment to every doly
lar for morale. No money we have
spent or shall spend in this business
is more wisely or willingly spent than
what we have given for the work of
the Y. M. C. A. and the other six ag
encies o fsimilar purpose and char
acter, approved by military men in
the field and endorsed by the Presi
dent at home. Upon tbese depend
this morale so valuable in battle, so
vital in the .years of peace.
Just one thought more. Someone
says: "If the war is so nearly over,
why should all this money be need
ed?" If peace should be declared to
morrow and preparations begin for
bringing back our two million men
airfl women from "over there," it
would take more than a year before
all could be home. This is the esti
mate of the government. This year
would be for most of them a time of
comparative idleness, except for such
study and recreation as the Y. M. C.
A., K. C, Y. W. C. A., Jewish Welfare
Board, War Camp Community Ser
vice, American Library Association,
and the Salvation Army, are planning
to provide These furnish the soldier
with a hoihe life, recreation, churA
and school. And at no period of his ,
stay over there will these services be
more needed by him than during the
long period of demobilization. We
have proven to the boys that "some
body cares" all the way to the front
line. And we will prove In the com
ing campaign that "somebody cares"
all the war back till he gets home.
