But unlike many of the other recent campaign!, the money to be raised by thlt board will be med here, and the purpose Is one of the highest in the war service. The goveriment has dotifled the local hospital to prepare for the oper ations of the class 1, group "B" reg istrants, of whom there are about 40 in the county. These men are in group "B" by virtue of requiring; some slight surgical operation, and the call baa come for them to enter the service. The public Is asked to aid in having these operations performed. Unci Sam has no funds to pay for the work. They depend on the hospitals and the public, and the local institu tion is wholly ready to do their part. Miss Mary Swales, proprietor of tlw hospital, has volunteered to supply the beds, the nurses, and tba free and full use of the equipment, and Dra. Hugh and Guy Mount have patriotic ally agreed to donate their services, and to perform the surgery without charge. Now the public purse comes in. What Is needed Is about a dollar apiece from a thousand and a half pockets to pay for the supplies nee essary to the successful perform ance of these operations Miss Swales has said that she would gladly pay for all the upplles, if she could afford it, but that the turn was more than she could pay. Besides the ether, bond ages, cloroform, and medicine, there will be a two or four week's board bill for each of the registrants, while they , are recovering from the effects of the operations. The drug stores are to be approached, and It is ex pected that they will donate a great percentage of the necessary med icines. Miss Harrington, clerk of the selec tive board, is handling the financial end of the call, and states that she would appreciate any volunteers who would be able to set out and canvass for funds. Any of the parents of these class "B" boys, who feel that they were able to pay their own expenses, are Invited to, although they will not be required to, as the work Is of a patriotic nature, and necessary for the phycicnl fitness of Uncle, Sam's soldiers. Oregon City will not be backward. The sum will be raised, and raised quickly. The soldiers are needed and the work must be done. The public will not expect a few of- tha hard working patriots to shoulder the whole burden. u Mrsi Mary Hanlon, wife of George Hanlon, Oregon City policeman killed by the outlaw, Frank Smith, ten years ago, died at St. Vincent hospital in Portland Thursday morning at 6 o'clock at the age of 55 years.

The funeral will be held from St. Johns church Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The remains are at Myers & Brady undertaking parlors. Oh! Misery and W o e! Parkplace Man Gets Hit in Eye and Purse "Woe Is me" walled one Ed Sob eisewski, when he ran up against the initiating program-of the Secret So ciety of Smokers, In the Multnomah county Jail yesterday forenoon. But thereby hang! a tale. Early In the morning on Wednesduy, aa waa hli wont, taid Ed arose at hla Park place home, for the day't toll as a mechanic at the Portland Lumber Company plant. But some strange twist of fate put a variance to bit usual custom, and before departing he proceeded to severely beat, maul, pound, hammer, strike, hit, and mal treat bit faithful wire, by name Elsie Sobezewski. In fact, if her charges be true, he so teverely bruised her with his flistt at to make the attendance of a physician Imperative, and she call ed Dr. Strickland to her aid. The doc tor found her In a serious condition, and after administering flrat aid, re manded her to bed, where the may be forced to remain several dayt. On the charge of assault and bat tery preferred against the mechanic, Constable Frost gave the Portland police the tip to pick him up at hla work, and to hold him pending the arrival of the countable. Sobezewskl wat eaaily apprehended and lodged In the Multnomah county Jail. Here be met a fraternity of prisoners of which the public knows little. The Secret Society of Smokers tent their walking delegate around to the new comer In their midst for the custom ary "once over." They tlzed up his pile, and struck him for two bucks for their tmoke fund Mr. Ed flatly refused to contribute toll. Then came a detail of two husky coons, and after a few minutes session they con vinced the recalcitrant that the bett thing he could do would be at the Romans do. So for hli two-bonei of tribute, he received two black eyes, and some minor Injuries. Brought before Judge Sieve, of the Justice Court, to answer the charges preferred by his disabled wife, he plead not guilty. The genial Judge calmly aald a hundred dollars bond. Mr. Sobezewckl said he had not that much with his., but if they would let him go home to get it he would give the ball. On the trip to Park place, be was accompanied by the watchful constable and Deputy Dis trict Attorney Thomas A. Burke, who takes a keen Interest in such things. While the man was procuring the money from the bottom of a trunk, wherein laid the sum of $350, Mr. Burke looked aoout and found that the family was poverty stricken. No food was In the cupboards, no fuel was In the shed. The mother and the two children were In need of provis- lont. Upon returning to the court with the funds tor the bond, Mr. Burke presented his testimony. The good Judge Immediately tacked on the sum of $50 to the bail, to be put up with the court for the expenses of the lit tie family at Parkplace during the pendancy of the hearing, which has been set-for July 10th. So taken all around, it '-looks like Mr. S. was having an adge of bib- Ical truth hammered Into his con sclousness. " In what measure ye mete, so shall it be meted ye again.
