OREGON. CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1918
CLACKAMAS CODNTY MAN
WRITES OF TRIP EASI
The following interesting com
munication has just been received by
the Courier from one of our well
known farmers of the county, now
in Oklahoma for a few months visit
with relative. He modestly asks us
to withhold his name. ,
CLAREMORE, Oklahoma, June
10, (To the Editor) : Will endeav
or to make good the promise to write
. you. There was nothing out of the
ordinary about .the start except we
were a little late leaving Portland,
and' as we got farther along we lost
more time and by the time we arriv
ed at Kansas City we were 1 hours
late. As to our observations we
took as the train sped along, we saw
some wonderful opportunities and
projects along the route. The gov
ernment is making some marvelous
strides in the way of reclaiming the
deserts of Idaho, and after the water
is on that land it is certainly worth
while going after.
On our way east we saw the larg
est gravel pit in the world,. 1 gueso
it is nearly on top of the Kocky
mountains, and the U. P. ra'ilway sys
tem is very nearly all ballasted with
it. It is red granite, pulverized by
nature, and makes an ideal ballast.
But say, talk about your garden
spots of the world! One does not
see it until you Bee the country 30
miles north of Greely, Colorado, just
before you get to Denver on the U. P.
railroad that is where they irrigate.
In the main the crops are sugar
beets, spuds and alfalfa hay, and all
the farmers seem to be very pros
perous. We saw a real sure-to-good-
ness thunderstorm between . Greely
and Denver, and all western and cen
tral Kansas was Hooded. 1 never
saw such nicer prospects for fall
wheat than there. Some of the corn
was not up yet, while other was up
and looking line.-' Saw some ripe
cherries in Kansas, and here in Okla
homa we were feted on 1918 garden
sauce 'on our arrival.
One can not realize what a differ
ence it maizes in a town being dry
and wet. I told a policeman that a
fellow must drink beer instead of
water, and he steered me to where
I could get a drink of water. We
went a mile and never saw a place
for the, public to get a drink of
water. Of course, Kansas City, Mis
souri, is certainly a very wet town
and possibly that is the reason they
have no water for the public to go
after. It seems to be a very wicked
city a man was killed not very far
from the police station because he
would not gamble with the thugs.
One can see that the saloons and
crime go hand in hand.
They have a state law here that
I would like to see the solons of
Oregon get 'into action on and pass.
The bootleggers, when they catch a
guy bringing booze in the state, are
fined and imprisoned and the auto is L
taken away from them and sold.
There were four autos sold by the
sheriff in this town last Saturday, in
which the neighborhood of $1200 was
turned over to the county treasurer,
so you see Oklahoma has some very
good laws "for Oregon to pattern
after.

transferred to boats for the trip to
San Francisco.
The total amount of waste paper
gathered up here is estimated at
thirty tons. Mt has been contracted
for by the California Paper company
at a good figure, and the sum realiz
ed from the sale will be devoted to
Red Cross work.
Mrs. W. A. White, as head of the
Red Cross committee assigned the
task of handling the paper day cam.
paign, has been accorded much
credit for her industry. She, in turn
modestly passes the "commendation
along to the corps of loyal volunteers
who assisted in the work.
The Boy Scouts proved to be of in
estimable value in aiding the work
of collection.
OREGON CITY BOY IN
FRANCE IS PROMOTED
Mrs. Eva Williams, of this city,
has recently received a letter ,from
her son, R. L. Linn, who is with the
lath Aero Squadron, in France, an
nouncing that ho has been promoted
from a corporal to a sergeant. Young
Linn, who was raised in Oregon City
enlisted a year ago last April, and
has been in France since December.
He speaks of the pleasure derived
from reading the home papers, and
says that , they arrive with great
regularity. ' Letter mail, he says, has
been somewhat erratic joming
some times in bunches, again, with
none at all for a great length of
time. . . 1
Sergeant Linn is on the -Courier
mailing list, and writes his mother
that a deal of satisfaction always
results from reading the paper. The
newsy notes of the home county are
what our boys at the front read, say
high army and Y. M. C. A. officials,
and no better service could be ren
dered by the home folks for the lads
in France than to be sure that a
copy of their local paper is forward
ed them regularly.

THIRTY TONS OF PAPER
RESULT OF BIG CAMPAIGN
TFe paper committee of the local
. Red Cross branch successfully com
pleted their work the first of the
week, after a strenuous three day
campaign. ' Aided by a number , of
boy scouts the patriotic women of
the organization gathered the bun
dles of waste paper from every cor
ner of the city in automobiles.- The
paper was assembled at the 0. W. f

What Are The
Six-Year Molars? -
WHEN the child Is about
six years of age the
flretnermanent molars
appear. There are four of
tliera two in the upper law
and two In the lower. They
come in after all the tempor-
ary teeth , have taken their
place, and appear just back of
the last temporary mblar on
each side and in each Jaw.
They are very, often mistaken
for temporary teeth, and folks
imagine that any teeth com
ing 1 n at tnat age must neces
sarily be temporary teeth.

If any of the six-year molars
are allowed to be lost by
decay, it is a loss which can
not be replaced. Nothing can
ever be done in the future
which will permanently re-
place the lost molar after it
has been removed.
Those four pormarujnt molars
do mottoftht maitlcatina for a

he Jaws apart while other
toeth mature and take their
several places in the jaw.
Their loss is not necessary and
may be wholly avoided. No
other teeth are so necetiary
and important as the first
permanent or ilx-yoar molart.

M- J. BROWN RETIRES FROM
CORVALLIS EDITORSHIP
M. J. Brown, who has edited the
Corvallis Courier for -three and a
half years, and who sold his interest
in the business to .his partner, A. E.
Frost, January 1, will finish his con
nection with the paper the last -of
the month. He was formerly editor
of the Oregon City Courier.
Mr. Brown has no plans for the
immediate future and does not know
what work he will engage in.
He had-expected to go to France
in Aprils to cover a syndicate of
newspapers in ' war correspondence,
but the close censorship made tliis
plan impossible and it was abandoned.
Then - he arranged a newspaper
trip through Central and South
America, starting at Quatemala and
;raveling south. He expected to have
tarted this month, but on account
of war conditions this had also to be
given up. No regular steamer sched
ules are now given to Central Amer
ican ports, and it is the plans of the
government to take over the steam
ers and substitute sailing vessels.
The railroads in these countries do
not run north and south so a traveler
iepending on coast steamers for
ransportation would no doubt have
time enough to acquire a voting res
idence or have a few runs of Yellow
Jack in the coast fever towns.
With these trips given up Mr.
Brown is undecided as to the future.
He has not entirely given up the
plan of going to Europe and may go
later in the summer. He will prob-
bly remain in Corvallis for some
time.
MANY ENJOY EXCELLENT -
MDSIC AT MILITARY BALL
At the first social event of the
newly organized Home Guard held al
iheir armory Saturday night, ' fullj
wo hundred couples danced to the
enjoyable music of the Home Guard
orchestra. The universal expres
sions of the large crowd there were
to the effect that the music was the
best ever heard in this city. The or
ganization is composed of seven
pieces, and each of the musicians is
an artist. ..
The hall was beautifully decorated
for the affair, with cut flowers and
potted palms arranged in cozy nooks.
A feature of the decorations was the
donation of hundreds of beautiful
La France roses, from the Oregon
City greenhouse, which the guests
were invited to carry away with
them. They were conveniently ar
ranged along the walls for this pur
pose.
The committee in charge of the
entertainment was composed of C. Li
St. Claire, John F. Clark, John Siev
ers, Lake. May, and Charles Hidy.
The final check-up of receipts has not
yet been made, but it is expected that
over $100 will be the net realization.
This fund will be used forthe equip
ping of the armory with lockers, and
for the recently formed home guard
band.

HONOR GUARD QUARTET
MAKES IMMEDIATE HIT
The girls of the Oregon City
Honor Guard met last week at the
home of Mrs. Peter D. Forbes, on
4th street, and put in a busy even
ing of sewing on Red Cross work,
Mrs. Forbes was a most gracious
hostess, and served delightful re
freshments to her twenty five guests,
The rooms of her home were pret
tily and artistically decorated for
the affair, with La France roses and
seasonable flowers predominating.
The arrangement, of the miniature
flags of the allied -nations was a pa
triotic feature which elicitated much
favorable comment from the young
ladies.
An informal program was staged,
the leading number on which was
the work of a quartet, composed of
the Misses Alice Miller, Dolly Pratt,
Katherine Sinnott, and Vern Curl.
These young ladies rendered some of
the patriotic songs of the- day in a
very creditable manner, and they are
being urged to organize into a per
manent auxiliary for the Honor
Guard.
Tonight the Honor Guard girls are
invited to the t home of Miss Alice
Miller, at 14th' and Main streets,
where another evening of sewing for
the Red Cross will be enjoyed.

BROWNING MACHINE GUN
, PASSES AIRPLANE TESTS
The Browning, machine gun ' has
successfully undergone a test to de
termine its value for use with air
craft, states this week's releases
from the Committee on Public Infor
mation. This is one of three types
of machine guns with which the rate
of fire can be so synchronized with
the revolutions of the propeller of a
tractor airplane that the gun can be
firel by the pilot of a combat' plane
through the revolving blades.
Airplane propellers revolve at from
800 to 2000. revolutions per minute.
The machine gun is lonnected with
the airplane engine by a mechanical
or hydraulic device, "and impulses
from the crank .shaft are transmitted
to the machine gun. The rate of fire
of the machine gun is constant and
'ts 'fire is synchronized with the re
volving propeller blades by s "wast
ing" a certain percentage of the im
pulses it receives from the airplane
mgire and by having the remaining
impulses trip or pull the trigger so
that the gun fires just at the fraction
of the second when the propeller
blades are clear of the line of fire.
The pilot operates the gun by
means of a lever which controls the
circuit and allows the impulses to
rip the trigger.

3ED CROSS WORK ROOM
ACTIVITY IS INCREASED
The long expected supplies for the
Red Cross branch arrived recently,
ind the work will go ahead with the
customary vigor, now that the loyal
workers have the material necessary.
Besides this fortunate episode hap
pening on Friday, the "jinks" of the
day has lost its meaning to the mem
bers of the Red Cross, as they also
received on that day a donation of a
:heck for the sum pf $103.75, from
they-city council. '
At the work rooms of the Red
Cross, in the Masonic building, a
host of the women of the city daily
congregate for the sewing, and a
great deal of work is being accomp
lished. An invitation is extended to
those not yet connected with the
work, to pay the rooms a visit, and
thus learn at first hand how they
may turn a, few hours of their spare
time to useful occupation.
Now, in this time of war, it is
more necessary than ever to buy
tires for permanent economy.
Hundreds of thousands of motor
ists have found that business judg
ment in tire-buying leads straight to
United States Tires.
The phenomenal growth
of United States Tire Sales is
positive proof of this fact.
. The unusually high quality
of United States tires has
made them easily the most popular
tires among owners of the biggest

The same quality is built into all
