nummary of the regulntlona:
THE ARMY
Department commanders within
the United States are authorized In
certain Individual and exrentloenl
cases io discharge men on their own
,liu'aiion wnen there Is sickness on
...nt.i .in 1 1.. fir in ine soldier s ramily,
t or when he Is needed to resume em
ployment In an Industry or occupa
tion In which there la urgent need of
hla services, provided his services can
be spared and that It will not disrupt
an existent organization.
Application for discharge must be
made In each Individual caae by the
soldier concerned and through hla
Immediate commanding officer. 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

request in writing through offlcia : ? ' ' P""0"."" not going;
channels, stating " full U.elr reus ! 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.

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.

Portland Expected Soon
Washington, Dec. 9. Wool now
held by the war department will be
disposed of at public auction, Brig
adier General Robert E. Wood, act

reserve price will be fixed below
which po bids will be entertained.
General Wood's statement said the
question of whether the embargo on
importation of wool to this country
will be continued is now having the
earnest consideration of the war trade
board.
That the first auction sale of the
14,000,000 pounds of wool held in
storage in Portland by the govern
ment will be conducted, in the near
future is indicated by bulletin re

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.
