Who else will give a quarter to buy cigarettes for American soldiers in Trance? The need is urgent. The American oldler, if he is to be comfortable and cheerful in the trenches, must have all the cigarettes he can smoke. For the sake of democracy, give a Quarter to buy cigarettes. One little package of cigarettes may save a trench, for a man who is cheerful fights harder than one who is blue. The cigarette Is the great gloom dis peller on the battle line. For 25 cents, one quarter of a dollar, ny person can send 45 cents worth of tobacco and cigarettes to some Ameri can soldier at the front. Wholesale Price la Made. Just send the two-bits to The Orego nian, with your name and address. This newspaper has made arrangements with the American Tobacco Company whereby tobacco and cigarettes that would retail for 45 cents will be sent to a soldrer at the front for your quar ter. The United States Government has heartily Indorsed the plan to send cig arettes to the soldiers. Of course, contributions are not lim ited to 25 cents. The Oregonlan will be glad to receive tobacco contribu tions of 91, 92, or 95, or 920. or even 9100, if anyone can spare that amount. But for each quarter of a dollar in your contribution one package of to bacco and cigarettes will be rushed to the front. Better yet, enclosed in each package will be a stamped postcard. On the package will be printed a request for the soldier recipient to mail back the postcard to the person whose name will be written on th' package as its sender. War Souvenir Will Return. Could you want a better war souve nir, or one that would make you hap pier, than one of these postcards from a soldier actually on the battle line, th an king you in his own words for what you have done to make life more comfortable for him? The British, the French, the Italians, and all the other allies, and even the Germans, all emphasize the urgent ne cessity of supplying the men in the army with all the tobacco they want or can smoke. Cigarettes, especially, are Ideelred. They are the soldier's favor ite smoke. With this great war, the old prejudices against the cigarette are disappearing, and it seems destined to become the world Joy smoke. First Quarter Acknowledged.

"When the country went into the war the department at Washington on training camp activities looked toward the Y. W. C. A. as an organization that had trained workers and a regular pro gramme and made their appeal. They met with instantaneous response. There is great work to be done in America. Russia and France, too, have appealed to us. This is a time when all should realize that work is to be done and should extend a helping hand.

John Wehrli, a farmer of Valley, is in the hospital here with 100 bird shot in his body. He was peppered from head to heels by his daughter as a result of a second altercation with his wife, Mary Wehrli, Saturday.

It is said Mr. Wehrli went to the ranchhouse and took a horse from the premises. His wife followed him to town and shot him in the shoulder. With this wound he was confined to his home until three days ago. Early Saturday he returned to the house. His wife was feeding the chickens in the yard, she says, when he attacked her, knocking her down and kicking her until the 13-year-old daughter came to her" rescue. The husband, it is said, then drew a knife. In the scuffle he drew the keen blade through his daughter's hand. Another child brought a double-barreled shotgun to ' the door and the girl in her desperation seized the weapon and from a distance of about 40 feet fired both charges into her father's side.

SUPPLIES c BITS OF OPERA GIVEN HEADLIXFR AT PANT AGES IS DE NOMINATED "COCKTAIL." Big; Aggregation of Everything: Good la Composed of Acta Each Intoxi cating In Itaelf. A big pretentious contribution from grand opera headlines Pant.aga new bill, presented by Henry llcllit. It is aptly called "a grand opera cocktail." and possibly takes its title from the Englishman's Idea that American cock tails are made up of a lot of everything good mixed together, and any one of which- would be sufficient to intoxi cate in itself. The act takes on tnat value. Each number the big aggregation of fers is of an excellence. Bits from grand opera predominate, and they do the sextette from "Lucia" and one bit of "Celeste Aida" better than usual. Blanche Morrison, who has a flute like soprano, Is featured as the solo ist. Novelty is given the offering In hav ing It staged as -a dress rehearsal in an opera-house. Albert Parr, as a skeptical tenor, and Bertram Peacock, as the new producer, lend comedy lights, as well as some excellent sing ing In the act. A capital comedy act Is that of Harry Devlne, an attenuated king of funnylng, with Belle Williams, another Stella Mayhew In type, plump and joy ous, with a delightful sense of humor which finds expression in making fun of her plumpness. These two, billed as a salesman and lady drummer, chatter and sing and exchange new Ideas, and finish with Interpretations of some of the fearful and wonderful things seen In vaude ville. They are a riot. Another riot on the bill is Mo ran and Wiser, comedy boomerang hat throwers, who set the audience in a state of con tagious hysteria. The act is new In Its line and abounds In novel features. Their comedy is clean and spontaneous. The Curzon sisters are dainty and demure and exceptionally pretty. They daringly swing and revolve In the air like butterflies and present new de partures in this art. Harry Coleman is a corking ventrilo quist, with new Jokes and a dummy that springs a sensation when It walks I her ascribe to her as well as talks. Opening the bill weight of years. are a pair of esthetic dancers, Olga Arlova and B. Tusney, who present a series of Interpretative dances. The last episode of "The Neglected Wife" Is being given. Because it was a holi day yesterday, five complete shows were given, with the house packed at each bill. much greater Medical Advice on Blood Troubles Given Free by Expert Authority Costa Nothing for Opinion of Tom Own Case.
