Arrangement have been made tor
dividing among the soldier boys of
Clackamas county, who are In the ser
vice in France, money that mat se
cured in publishing the Women's
Patriotic Edition of The Morning En
isrmiin. on Mat S. The expense of
getting the paper out has seen settled
by the staff havtng charge of the edi
tion, and there remains $106.81. It
was at first thought advisable to
send the Clackamas county boys
money, and this to be need In giving
an entertainment. Others have sug
gested to hold the money, and write
to the boys to forward requests for
delicacies, and to have the order
with the 0. K. of the commanding of
ficer. Many boys stationed In France
and in England have been longing tor
chocolates and other dainties that
are difficult to secure "over there,"
so many boya from Oregon City are
to be remembered moat liberally with
sweets from their home town.
As Chaplain Gilbert has a number
of Clackamas county men with him,
these boys are to be allowed $25 in
delicacies; Major Marcellus, who la
with the hospital corps, where some
ot our young men are stationed, will
be allowed $25 in delicacies; Captain
Blanchard, ot Oregon City, who la in
command of some of the Clackamas
county boys, is to be furnished with
delicacies, and $25 will be used in
purchasing supplies for his men, and
for himself; Eighteenth Engineers
are to be remembered, as some of
the well known men are members of
that company, and $20 will be used
in sending these boys gifts, while the
remainder will be need in forwarding
other little gifts of sweets to some
ot our boys, who are stationed with
other companies than those above
mentioned, and also for mailing of
packages.
As soon as the purchases are made
and ready for shipment, these will
be placed on display in one ot the
business house windows to show what
our boys are to receive.
There was a big demand for the
patriotic edition, and had there been
more copies printed, several thous
and copies could have been disposed
a nave oeen mepoewi ,
of. Many went to France, England,;.
Scotland. Australia, South America,
Japan, China, Wales, Alaska and var
ious other sections ot the world. The
edition was of 24 pages, containing
mostly articles ot a patriotic nature.
Many boys in France were remember

'To Love, Honor A n
Obey' Forgotten By
Seekers of Divorce
Divorce complaints filed today were
two In number, Rosle Spears seeking
freedom from Charles Spears, whom
she marled in 1914. She charges her
husband with Instituting a course of
cruel and inhuman treatment within
a few months after the nuptials, and
seeks a decree as the result.

Seeley (ln Portland, in March, 1917,
according to her complaint, and it
was but a short time jfter that he
commenced with his nagging, fault
finding, and a series of false accusa
tions, which she highly resents. Be
sides the decree of divorce, she asks
the court to allow her to resume her
maiden name of Lulu Martin.
OSWEGO (MI
HARD HIT UNDER
RECENT FREIGHT
RATE RULINGS
SALEM, Or., June 18. (Special.)
The cement business at Oawego may
be given a terrific black eye from the
25 per cent increase In freight rates
ordered by Director General McAdoo,
sccording to information gathered by-
Rate Expert Davie ot the Public Ser
vice Commission at the conference
Juat held in Portland relative to the
(feet of the increase order.
Rate Expert Davles pointed out that
rat of ivi cents now exists from
Oswego to Portland on cement. Under
the order issued by the director gen
eral an advance ot two centa is pro
vided for on cement, and a simitar ad
vance would be made on cement from
San Francisco to Portland. The appar
ent injustice ot a two cent advance
on a haul ot a few miles, compared to
an Identical advance on a haul ot sev
eral hundreds of miles from San
Francisco to Portland was pointed
out. and on the face ot It it appears
that the Oswego cement business
would suffer Immeasurably from such
an alleged discrimination. Apparently
there waa no intention to discrimin
ate, but this is one of the hardships
that works out In a blanket order ot
this character, It wsa stated.
TO BE CONGRATULATED
SALEM, Or June 13. (Special.)
"few better selections could have
been made than that of E. E. Brodie.
to represent the west on the director
ate ot the National Editorial Associa
tion.'' waa the statement today of R.
Hendricks, veteran editor of the
Salem Statesman, commenting upon
Mr. Drodle'i selection to fill a prom
inent position in the national editor
lal field.
"The West U more and more at
taining prominence In the newspaper
world and western newspapers are
more and more making themselves
felt. This Is true ot Oregon as, well
as of the entire Western Country and
it is a well deserved mark of distinc
tion that a live wire publisher of one
of our smaller dallies should be select
ed from the mass of brains and talent
connected with the National Editorial
Association to serve upon tbe im
portant board of directors. I am cer
tain that all Oregon newspaper men
will feel Inclined to congratulate the
editorial association upon securing
the services of Mr. Brodie, as well as
congratulating Mr. Brodie upon the
selection made." -
