. At Fort Casey, at the mouth of the
Columbia river, a great giant of a sol
dier lay upon a cot In the hospital
listening to a program of music pro
vided by the Y. M. C. A. He had lost
his arm three days before. Miss Cecil
Itauhut, of 33S3 Clay street, San Fran
cisco, had Just played a violin solo
which was greeted with applause. As
the applause died the nurses' call bell
rang violently. A nurse rushed to the
giant's bedside. . ,
"I couldn't applaud without the use
of my arm and all I could find to add
to the din was to ring the butt," he
explained.
Then the doctor arrived. "That
music is better than meaicine." he
said. "Why, one of those poor chaps
who had not even smiled for two
weeks was laughing. I want to thank
the Y. M. C. A. for the pleasant di
version It is giving these noble men."

ministers this week to ascertain why
the language Is persisted in. "At this

IT
That Clackamas county can talk
right up with the best of the state
when It conies to fruit growing. Is
the impression one gets after visiting
C. W. Swallow s place at Maple Lane.
There are trees not only loaded with
fruit, but breaking down because
help cannot be had to take care of
them. There are grape vines where
you see' more grapes than leaves, and
walnut trees, the branches of which
are bending low with nuts. There are
a number of varieties of apples on
his farm, and among them is one
which originated there, named by Mr.
Swallow the Clawes. This variety has
been bought by the Oregon Nursery
Co., of Orenco. It is a splendid keep
er, and in flavor is something be
tween the Spitzenberg and the Bald
win at least so he says. Just now
the apples are too green for even the
County Agent to masticate.
There are also a number of chest
nut trees on the farm which are
bearing well. These are of the large,
sweet French variety, and are beauti
ful, well proportioned trees. The soil
in this district has proved what can
be done In the way of fruit growing.
Unfortunately some people think that
the soil wll do it all whether anything
Is done by the owner or not.
L
Mrs. Ida Eggleston is among the wo
men of Oregon City doing her hit, not
only by making a war garden, but al
so by growing some of the late straw
berries, the variety of of which is the
"Progressive Everbearing," and the
vines are commencing to take on new
blossoms and berries. These berries
are sweet and different from most
varieties. They are of a light red, and
are finding a good market. Mrs. Eggle
ston secured her start in these berries
in the East some time ago, and has a
new variety of raspberry called the
Everbearing raspberry, that is also
now coming in bearing.
With all kinds of vegetables, and
every aeed which was planted by this
woman, will show Clackamas county
has some rustling women in the way
of war gardeners.
ECHOES OF FAMOUS
Echoes of the Cadiz Pratt assault
case which resulted in the conviction
and seven years penitentiary sent
ence of Pratt for an assault upon his
wife with an Iron bar, were heard
Friday, when Drs. Mount and Mount
filed suit against Mrs. Pratt and her
husband, for $200.00 for medical
services rendered the defendant, fol
lowing the assault. The family lived
at Paradise corners In tbe south end
of the county and Pratt, in a fit of
anger, struck his wife with an Iron
bar, fracturing her skull and nearly
killng her.
ASKS AID FOR SUFFERERS.
. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Identical
notes from Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, appealing to the United States
to aid famine sufferers in Finland
were presented to the state depart
ment today by the ministers of the
three Scandinavian countries.
Pledges were offered that no food
sent from America would be allowed
to fall Into the hands of the Germans
or to aid Germany in any way. Ab
sence of a responsible government in
Finland to give such guarantees on its
Own account until now has blocked
all plans for help from American or
allied sources.

THE SABBATH DAY WITH A. E. F. B
How Our Boys in France S p c n d Sunday
Told By Noted Writer
By Maximilian Foster
A churchgoer of the ordinary, old
fashioned kind would be a bit puxzled,
no doubt, if he were to see the way
the American Army in France observ
es the Sabbath day. Sundays over here
are not the same Bort one is accustom
ed to at home. Even the most religious
among our fighting men have widened
in their views regarding the Sabbath.
Understand now, this does not mean
that our boys have grown ungodly, it
Is the very opposite, rather. The first
thing that impresses the newcomer,
in spite of what he may have heard
at home, Is the striking decency and
wholesomness of this host of young
Americans. France, in fact, has mar
velled nt our soldiers' self-restraint;
for no matter what history has had
to say of other great bodies of armed
men, our boys have conducted them
selves In a way to make their mothers
proud. So, even though it be said that
their attitude toward Sunday has al
tered, this does not mean far from
it. Indeed that It has altered for the j
worse. It means merely that among!
them Sunday is not devoted entirely
to religious observances.
The fact is all work and no piny

sunuays, mereiore, mose inieresiea
in the spiritual welfare of our soldiers
give them, besides texts, a good bit
of w holesome amusement. A couple of
Sundays ago, for example, the writrfr
saw a well-known preacher from tbe
I States umpiring a basebnll game.
I Strange as this may sound to some, it
(requires only a moment's thought to
.figure the practical good he was doing.
Near the camp was a long row of
buvettes and cheap cafes, each of
them offering other less wholesome
attractions. There was not an Am
erican soldier In one of them.
Disabuse your mind of the idea that
our soldier boys are wandering foot
loose in France, ready to fall for every
temptation. They're not. And if these
Sundays over hre are not what you
think they should be don't imagine
that ungodliness has cursed our army.
It hasn't. Here, If you like, Is a pict
ure of one Sabbath day In France.
The place is up in the Luneville
sector. That Sunday the sun was shin
ing, glowing down with a dazlfng rad
iance on the flowering fields and hills
behind the lines. Out in front, a bare
three kilometers away, was the ugly,
scarred zigzag of the frontline trench
es, the one blemish on the landscape
as far as the eye could see.
But never mind about that. Here,
less than a half mile from that blight
ing cicatrice, the birds were singing

Here's A Historian

In an open field at the detention

Laura Anne Cotton, a San Francisco
musician, who, as a member of "The
Californians," was entertaining sol
diers under the auspices bt the Y. M.

her to sit upon but her white skirt

er, he never had been one, but the
war hud Imposed on his this new duty.
The services were brief, but they
were earnest. The roomful of sturdy
stout lungod Amerlcun boys put heart
and soul Into the song they sang.
After they had finished It, the ex
tempore pastor gave them a little
talk. There wag nothing smug about
It, nothing mealy-mouthed. It w as Just
a blng bang sort of an allocution such
as one bight have heard in an athletic-field
dressing room between the
two halves of a 'varsity football
match. You had tho fivllng that you
wanted to cheer when the speaker
finished. But the congregation didn't
cheer. In a brisk, businesslike way It
hunted up another hymn and went
at it hammer nnil tongs, putting en
ergy and vim and wholeheartedness
into the way It got the song across.
About its earnestness one hnd no
doubt.
A prayer followed. There was no
rhetoric in that prayer, but It was
straight from the shoulder. It was the
sort of d'rert simple plea any good
ireal estate man from Buffalo would
I make when he realized he w as carry

It. too. Shells had a way of dropping
round that town with a reasonable
enouch degree of nearness and fre
quency to make any man reflect on
the hereafter. However, utter thJ
prayer there was another hymn, that
good old rouscr, "Onward, Christian
Soldiers."
Afterward the amateur pastor gave
them his benediction a sort of "Here's
luck fellows" valedictory, at the con
clusion of which the benches were
thrust back wlih a clatter, ond a sud
den flood o,' animated talk burst from
a hundred throats. A moment later,
one saw the Insurance man, relieved
from his spiritual duties, dispensing
chocolate, chewing gum nnd ci-jur-reetes"
at the other end of the hut.
These were the morning's religious
services. At one o'clock, the Insur
ance man wuh at It again.
His chape now had moved from
the former buvetto to a bigger, more
commodious temple Nature's world
of out-of-doors. The writer was a sil
ent, Interested observer. Out on a
nearby hillside the Insurance man sat
down. Presently boys In khaki began
to appear on the slopes. They came
singly, In pairs, by the 'half dozen;
bronzed-faced, strapping, straight
limbed fellows, all very serious s
they climbed the slope. The Insurance
man was reflectively chewing a blade
of grass. Each newcomer, as he ar-
i man lines. It was curious to hear that
i detonation, queer to hear, too the rip
ping snarl of the shell as it lunged
by toward Its target. But the congre
gation on the hillside was used to
hearing such processionals to Its Sab
bath ceremonies. One and all, those
boys paid heed only to the Insurance
man and what he had to say.

What It is possible to accompllHli
with poultry whin tntolllgont effort ,1
used Is exemplified by Mr, C. O. Ter
ry, of Wlllumutte. A few years tto he
began on nit eight 11 ere tract uenr the
Tualatin riwr with few White Leg
horn hens. These were not Just chick
ens, but pure bred blnlt of tint Wyck
off otrnUi, which hud a reputation tor
laying. That was the stint wbUh of
course I ituprotnnt. Next, ho utml
his skill which hud been acquired In
Ion poultry experience In the ICant,
to pick out three doxtm of the bent
hens he litul, those which looked good
to him, from which to uho ckks for
breeding. TIhiko thirty six hens were
kept In a separate pen and a record
kept of every egg laid. At the end of
the year they averaged 270 eggs
apiece. And now all of Mr. ferry's
stock Is descended from those hens.
That la the secret of his success In
the business.
It would be Interesting to figure out
the iitnomit of money which would
come to the farmers of the county If
all the hens laid us well as Mr. Per
ry's do.

plums of these berries this full, but
the must of them are being shipped
to California markets, where there
has been a steady demand for those

The recent ruin was a great benefit
to the plants, and Mr. Flnnegan says
a little more rain will not do any harm.
Mr. Flnnegan has been propsgating
strawberry plants for the past five
