BOYS OVER HERE-OVER THERE P -, .,,., In a letter received by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Green from tbeir son. Private Clyde Green, who is in France, he ays In part: "Dearest Mother and Father: Received Mother's and Dad's let ters the other day, and surely enjoy ed them very 'much. They seemed to be more than usually interesting. They were so cheery and all of that "Well, I am over to the Y. M. C A tonight to see the movie show, and I thought I would drop you a few lines while I had the opportunity. "I received a bundle of Morning Enterprises and two packages of Sat urday Evenings Posts from Marie Vonderahe. They were fine. I can tell "We have been getting quite a lit tie rain lately, and guess we will be getting more of it too. "General Pershing is coming here tomorrow to inspect as, and we will be having a big day of then. 1 "I haven't heard anything yet as to our leaving here, but I guess hey Nwant to work us a little more before treeing us. The fellows are doing all kinds of hard work now. "I had a pleasant surprise a few days ago, when I was sitting in the Y. M. C. A. hut playing 500 with some other fellows, and which nearly took me off my feet Some one came Into the room, and stood beside me and called out "Does any one here know a young man by the name of t'lyde Green?" Of course I jumped with sur prise, and found Arthur Farr standing at my side. We certainly had a good time having a talk, as we had many experiences to relate and to talk of home happenings. He is .looking fine, and is in the best of health." Ha Ea P3 Mrs. Vertie Todd of West Linn, who has two sons in the service, has received the following letter from Pri vate Samuel E. Todd, one of these boys, who is in the Base Hospital at Fort Bliss, Texas: U. S. Base Hospital, Ward 4, Fort Bliss, Texas, March 16, 1919. "Dear Mother: "Will answer your most . welcome letter received this morning. I was sure glad to hear from home once more, and to hear that everyone was well "I suppose you will be' somewhat surprised to hear that I am up and able to walk around. Of course, I don't stay up all day. It makes me so tired to stay up any length of time. "Yes, Mother, I would like to have you come to see me, but the distance is so great and the expense too, that I feel more advisable to remain at home. No doubt I will receive my hon orable discharge soon, and when abie to travel will reach home at an early date." I The second letter dated March 24, tells of the serious condition the young man has been in, suffering fom appendicitis :: ' "I am walking around this morn ing, but do not know how long I will be able to stay up, as I get tired so quickly, and have to return to my bed. You see my appendix was noth ing but pus, and it could not be re moved when I underwent the opera tion, and will have to wait until it is thoroughly drained. It is necessary to keep a gauze about an inch in width in the incision to keep it from heal ing un, and it is now about quit dis charging pus. "I received the box O. K. and I sure enjoyed.it. If you send another box, I am going to see if you can find a cocoanut. I have tried to get them here, but I can't find them any where, so I guess they don't keep them. "Your loving son, "SAMUEL TODD." fcl 1E3 t-1 Private L. H Rubicam, who is with the Eighteenth Engineers, Railway Company, in France, has written the following letter to the Oregon City Auxiliary of the Eighteenth Engin eers, composed of mothers and other relatives of these men. Bordeaux, France, January 15, 1919. "Dear People: "I have been rather slow in answer ing your greeting to me, and thank ing you for the Christmas present, nevertheless, I want you to know the Oregon City Auxiliary has a mighty big drag with the boys, and you all have accomplished wonders in keep ing our spirits headed the right way. "We had a good Christmas thanks to our friends at home, but since the excitement over here is finished, the boys are still anxious to get under way to the U. S. A., and we are still hoping to see the orders every day. I guess now the whole army feels about as we do, so it !b more a matter of luck, and we came to take our chance with the others, so there is no reason why not continue to be 'game sports. "Sincerely, "PRIVATE U H. RUBICAM, Eighteenth Engineers Railway, P. 0. 705, A. E. F." Pa Jw jes ' Private L. T. Mulligan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mulligan of this city, has (E very Friday.

"I have a number of postal cards, books and wooden shoes to bring along, and these will be taken caru of by a nurse, who is to pack them in her trunk. I will bring my nega tives with me, as I do not like to run any chances in sending them by mall, as I fear I will lose them. "Today is a wonderful spring day and makes you glad that you are alive.

"Well, one week from tonight I will be 22 yeas of age, and will have spent my second birthday in France. "I am sure glad that I am not in the same health as I was last year at this time. The doctors did not know if I would, live an hour or a minute then. "We have had a little snow dur ing the past weex. Ie snows during the night, and melts during the day, but this is not bad. as it is not very cold. "Another sergeant and myself have a swell billet, and is just like home There are only the two of us in it, and we have feathers to sleep on. Can you imagine it, in the army and sleeping on feathers. A Belgian wo man owns the house, and the family live below, while we have the up stairs. Believe me, she is just like a mother to us. Anything she has Is ours If we want it She is getting me a collection of old coins for souvenirs, and I have several now. Some of them are several hundred years old. "I wrote you and tried to explain why some of us were left over here. Don't know if you will understand or not, for this game is a funny thing Jack will come and see you when he gets home, and tell you all. "Hope you are all well. I never felt better in ray life, and most of the bad weather is over, so there is no rea son why I should feel otherwise. "Hope to be on my way home be fore long. Write real often and I will do my best. "Tell everyone hello. "Goodbye, "With love to all, "DEL." Mrs. Vertie Todd of West Linn, has received several letters from her son, Private Albert I.

This estate consists of real property valued $350. at You Fellows We've licked the Hun. Now let's everybody get his coat off and pitch into the new enemy. j f Who is he? Why, the professional pessimist, the arch enemy of progress. Not the pessimist who says, "It looks hard to do, but it ought to be done and we'll do our best." Not that fellow. But the real Blue Monday pessimist who says, "You fellows are going to have a hard time putting over the next loan." That's the enemy we're after. ' "You fellows ?" Where does he get that "You fellow" stuff? Whose war was this, anyway? Whose country was vindicated when we punished the black guard gang that sank the Lusitania? Whose children and whose children's children in America will be saved the disgrace of paying homage and tribute to a cut-throat monarch and his blood-thirsty bunch because American heroes gave up their lives? Who is this Government, anyway? "You fellows ?" Whose Victory Loan is this going to be? Whose life and lands have been saved by the sacrifice of young men called upon to fight for Am erica and humanity? Was this war fought for any par ticular American? Was it for any one man's liberty or that of any one set of men? Wasn t this war for all of hu manity? Didn't everybody believe America was justifi ed in fighting? If any American didn't believe we were justified in winning the war why didn't he voice his senti ments while we were fighting? If anyone in America is disappointed because we won the war; if anyone is dissatisfied with the results, let him hold up his hand in plain sight. This was his war just as it was his neighbor's. There is no place in Am erica for the term "You fellows" when it comes to talk ing of the war or its benefits. It was a vindication of all America. The victory benefited the slacker just as much as it did the most loyal man or woman in the land. Look out for that "You fellow" adviser. Canby Hirii School Students on Visit A number of the Canby hlch school student motored to Oregon City Monday to have a photograph taken to be used as an illustration for the Canby high gchool annual, the "Iim poon," a publication to be gotten out by the students and the teachers.

"We have just closed the deal with the County Commissioners of Kay County for three GARY 3-ton trucks. We competed with five other makes, and outpulled them all. The performance of the trucks we frank'y state Is mar velous. The "H" and "HU," 2 and 2-ton models with four speed transmission outpull, overpower and outclass everything In their rated capacity; while the 3-ton is even greater In pulling power and load carrying capacity. We con sider your worm drive, geml-floating Shelden Axle as the only safe and sure form of construction for hard usage and to withstand the strain and abuse to which a truck is subjected In the oil fields and kindred lines of work.
