Thla must be made In writing and state In lull reasons why dscharge is asked. THE NAVY, It la the desire of the Navy Depart ment to release from active service at the earliest practicable time those members of the Naval Reserve Force, and who wish to complete their edu cation or who have family and busi ness Interests demanding Immediate and personal attention. No Hermit.! tlroe can be sot for release hut It will be done as soon as the exlKei.de. o service will nermlt. Th. lltl i to be released under above conditions 1 17 .l,0"' ho not 8oln: Pa rous!

L,p?' thny a.re . no' Rolu- ons. This la extcmely Important as: It Is the present policy to discharge only those who wish It. Those who enlisted for four years will. bo dis charged only where exceptional de pendency exists. THE MARINES mo mime poucy against releasing four year men obtains In the Marines as in the Navy proper. It Is the pol icy of the Murine Headquarters, how ever, to discharge Marines who en listed for the duration of tho war on ly, or are In Marine Corps reserve, who-desire their Immediate release from military duty for educational or Induatrlal reasons or on account of dependency of family. Requests of men In tho two classes mentioned must be forwarded through official channels, 1. e, their commanding offi cers and will then be acted upon Indi vidually at headquarters. Because it Is not the present plan to dumorallze any unit or class of marines as the Navy Department will need the auth orized strength of corps for many months to come It will probably be more difficult to got releasod from .this service than the other branches. It Is probable, that there would be no objection to allowing a soldier, sailor, or marine filing application for his own discharge as Indicated to file with such vjritten application supporting evidence In the way of statements from parents or others as would explain more fully or corrob orate the reasons he sets out tor de siring to be released from service but tho most Important point to re- mnmhnp la that tha anlln 1. 1 ! must take the Initiative and that it must be done through his Immediate commanding offcer. w; s. .

Oregon AUTO ACCIDENT THURSDAY What might have proven a very serious accident occured at the cor ner of Seventh and Main atreets last Thursday evening. The car driven by Karnest Gibson crashed Into Bert Grater's Ford, causing considerable damage to both cars, and painfully lacerating Mr. Gibson about the low er limbs. He was hurled a distance of about twenty feet, and It Is a great wonder that he waa not seriously In jured. The cause of the mlx-up was a motorcycle coming up one street, a car turning around the corner and Bert Grater slowing down between. In avoiding a collision with the one, Gibson hit the other. Hla aide cur tains being dpwn helped in bringing about the crash. No trouble arose from the accident, as the parties con cerned decided that it was a case of each one being a little to blame.

LYRIC HAS REEL FIRE 2,000 Feet Of Film Burned By Acci dent 'Saturday Evening Two reels of film, totaling about 2,000 feet, were accidently destroyed at the Lyric theater Saturday even ing. Manager Pancake was in the op erating room himself, and when wind ing two reels from the small shipping reel onto one large one. from which the pictures are run, the film slip ped from the side of the reel, which was over full, and several coils of it came in contact with the lamn n nil se of the lantern, the sides of which were not enougn to ignite the celluloid. After attempting for several min utes to tear away parts of the blaz ing film, Mr. Pancake saw that this would be impossible and they were both pitched through a window into the street below, where they were soon consumed. Although the house was filled-with smoke, people in the audience were unaware of the fire until Mr. Pan cake made an announcement, exnlein ing why the pictures could not be dis played. He had another picture in the house which was run in tho place of the one diBtroyed. The loss was ' eight cents a foot or about $160. SILOS PROFITABLE FOR CENTRAL OREGON HUaXLEXT FEEDS MAY BE MADE FROM WHAT JS WASTE RYE, ALFALFA, (ffi, All CO Dairymen And Beef Breeders Find Them Profitable Much Good Feed Wasted Annually The use of silos In this part of the state waa never dreamed of ten year ago, and but few of them have been built to date, but the experience that has resulted from the few men who pioneered in this field la such that a number of these modern feed savers are sure to be canstructed the coming year. While the silo is primarily consid ered a convenience and money maker for the dairyman, it is proving the greatest imaginable boon for the stor age and salvaging of food for beef cattle and other kinds of stock. A number of small silos of various makes have been built In the Red mond country during the past two or three years, and in every instance they have proven satisfactory. This year John Kemling of the McKay district and Wm. Freund of Ochoco each built a silo, and they are highly pleased with the result. Mr. Freund says that his alio la 1 2 feet in diameter and 30 feet hieh and is a great convenience and money maker. He filled it more than half full of corn silage and it is now belnz liaprl with remarkable results. Warren, Dickson, & McDowell have one of the largest, if not the largest silo in the west which has a storage capacity of 400 tons, and this is filled with third crop alfalfa that would, otherwise have been frost ruined for pasture, with weeds and green rye grass from the borders of the fielda, all of which makes good feed for beef stock. This silo has been filled for the sec ond time this year, and the contents are now being used, and with a most satisractory result for beef feeding. There are arguments in favor of the silo and none against their use. The fact that the most successful fanners use them, and that they are) never abandoned wrten once Install ed, should be sufficient argument for their construction. The stockmen and farmers of this part of the state will increase their profits materially just as soon as they commence to use more silos, more feed cutters, more manure spreaders and plan to increase the production of their farms to capacity, and to save all feed raised, and feed it in the most profitable manner. The prosperity of our communities rests upon these Ideas to a large ex tent, and one of the most important of the lot is the silo. Read up on them, Investigate them and plan to install one of medium size for next year, and plan crops to fill it. First, University of Idab,o; second, A. D. Dunn.

Mr. Harvey was 41 years of age at' the time of his death, and in excel lent health other than the trouble for which the' operation was being performed.
