Appreciate it they do. Home folks

utter where duty has called? When
1 e boys return, sincere praises will
e heard of the service freely given
r the civilian guard. The "Y" and
flu kindred organizations mean a lot
a as, tnd I am glad to express some
f the reasons.
Vancouver Barracks is a typical
W. 8. military camp in regard to pro
visions for the men's "oft duty"
Sours. A soldier, you know, is not
always on duty. There are hours of
freedom between retreat and taps (if
yo are not on K. P.) which present
problems for the fun and study side
f camp life.
The "Y" is the acknowledged lead
r of voluntary bodies in this field.
Assisting are the Knights of Colum
, War Camp Community Service,
American Library Assocl&uuu, and
the Red Cross for the sick.
The reservation here has three "Y"
kuildings; one each, at the Canton
went (the receiving station for new
recruits), the Old Post (containing
lie pre-war buildings), and one at
tte Cut-Cp Plant proper. All are
aolendidly equipped and well manag
a by capable secretaries.
Come along with me this evening
mat personally inspect a "hut." Here
we are! Walk right In, visitors are
always welcome. You saw from the
ewtside that the building is laid out
like a capital "U." This side of the

while in service. Numerous foreign

I'll warrant that by this time you
have noticed the tables around the
rooms and in the library occupied by
letter writers. There's where the "Y"
stands out big. It gtvea the place
and material tor letter writing, and
next to food and sleep, it not before,
letters have a place. Blue indeed, ts

The post has one K. C. hall which
does the same work as the "Y" on a
smaller scale. The W. C. C. S. pro
vide social events and club rooms out
side of the camp. Of recent arrival
in camp, and one of the most profit
able to use, is the new A. L. A. libra
ry. It is housed in a specially con
structed building, furnace heated,
well lighted and brightly finished. A
trained librarian is ready to supply
your needs. The variety and choice
of books is all that could be desired,
especially in regard to readings on
vocations, such as farming. lumber
ng, mechanics, the professions, etc.
A new theater has been built by the
men of the Post, at which the latest
movies ran be seen for a Jitney. It
is managed throughout by soldiers.

A force of from six to twelve men
have been floating ice from the bav
of the White river pawer plant, which
has been giving considerable trouble.
In clearing this ce the workmen are
running a great risk, especially on the
upper bay, the platform of which has
no railing and part ot it consists of
one twelve-inch plank between a six
teen toot embankment on one side
and that depth of icy water on the
other. Maupin Times, Jan. 10.

These newspaper quotations
represent live cattle prices in
Chicago on December 30th, 1918.
The list shows price ranges
on nine general classified groups
with a spread of $13.85 per cwt
the lowest at $6.50 and the
highest at $20.35.
Why thi3 variation in price?
Because the meat from differ
ent animals varies greatly in
quality and weight
Although the quotations
shown are in nine divisions,
Swift & Company grades cattle
into 34 general classes, and each
class into a variety of weights
and qualities.
As a result of these differences in
cattle prices, (doe to differences in
weights and meat qualities), there is a
range of 15 cents in Swift ft Com
pany's selling prices of beef car
casses. These facts explain:
1 Why retail prices vary In
. different stores.
2 Why it would be difficult to
regulate prices of cattle or
beef.
3 Why it requires experts to
judge cattle and to sefl meat,
so as to yield the profit of
only a fraction of a cent a
pound a profit too small to
affect prices.
