Stimson, "but am confident that the knitted supplies cither have been issued to them or will be shortly.

"I have the positive assurance of Red Cross officials at Washington, in general charge of the National work, that no soldier of America will leave this country without his outfit of knitted wear supplied by the American Red Cross through the industry of American women. You need have no cause for worry concerning the Oregon boys. I am certain that every effort Is being made in their behalf. Membership Drive Leader Here.

Portland motormen agree that one of the most frequent causes of "late" cars is the osculatory farewell. The ten dency to cling in a goodbye clinch is held to have upset many a street rail way schedule. For the most part women are the offenders, but men have been known to dwell over-long at partings. According to the motormen, two women, or several, will pause at the corner, their car a block away. Th embrace, watching: the approaching car. As it halts the departing friend starts for the steps, hesitates, is lost, and rushes back for another kiss. The going' clangs. They separate. At the steps the loved one is grabbed again. When the car rolls away the motorman is shy a minute or more on his schedule. A Pennsylvania coal company reached all the way to the trenches in France to get a witness In a compen sation case.

EARLY C00S SETTLER DEAD Jerry C. Haynes Companion of John' D. Rockefeller in Voting Days. MARSH FIELD, Or., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) The death of Jerry C. Haynes, of Myrtle Point, removed one of Coos County's oldest settlers and a pioneer who came to the Pacific Coast in 1852. He was 87 and had seen practically the entire development of the South western Oregon coast. Mr. Haynes en gaged in many followings in the early history of the county. The deceased came to Coos County In 1859, six years after the first white settler came from Jacksonville, Oregon. He was married to Lois Hall, in Call- fornla. and the wife died in Marshfield in 18S8. Ten children were born to the union. It was while engaged in driving horses and mules on an Ohio canal that he met John L). Rockefeller, then a young man clerking in a Cleveland store that supplied canal men and others with- clothing and other-goods. Mr. Haynes and Mr. Rockefeller were companions In many enterprises and he spoke very highly of John L. Rocke feller as a "young man. Although Mr. Haynes could not see the future that Mr. Rockefeller was to develop, he con sidered the oil magnate a man of more than ordinary attainments In the earl; days, and was not surprised 'in after life to see the companion of his youth attain the greatest financial success IB the history of the world.
