JACK DUNN THINKS HE'S'24 WAR STAMPS ONE thrifty Portland housewife who has a certain sum each week on which to "run the house," pays herself out of this sum for all th mending she does. Wben she darn a pair of eocks she saves out S cents; sews a rip, 3 cents, and ro on. Thus the puts by about 75 cents a week, and when her fund amounts to $4 she adds a few cents to It and buys war savings stamps. e e e Thrift separates the temperate, well behaved, respected from tho unsatis factory members of society. Andrew Carnegie. e Another young wife in the city has started a Thrift Stamp account with the money her hueband gives her for putting up hi lunch every day. He had been in the habit of spending from IS cents to 30 cents for his noonday meal in a "beanery" downtown, but now he gets good wholesome "eat in his office, and keeps th money in the family. Careful 'saving and careful spending invariably promote success. Marshall Field. Welser, Idaho, Man May Have Been Born In Oregon or California, but Doesn't Remember Par ent: Sheriff Appealed To. Jack Dunn, possibly 24 years old never had a mother and father and never a childhood, eo far as his own personal knowledge is concerned. A suredly. In the course of human events, he must have possessed at one time these most treasured things of a boy's life, but they ar as fabulous to him as the lost island of Atlantis or the fairy wonderland which opens to little boys and girls when nursery tales are read to them. But lack of knowledge of these things does not make up the sum and sub stance of all of Jack Dunn's unhappi ness. Most unfortunate of all, he doesn't even possess a name which he might call his own. Jack Dunn Isn't his name at all. It was the identity given him by the first family of which he has any memory of staying with as a child Birthplace Is Vnknown. This hazy memory stretches back to Baker City, Or., or Bakersfielj, Cal. Me isn't sure which it was: He does remember, half distinctly, that a man named Lee Dunn' and his wife, who lived In one or the other of these cities, were fffif ? cymes In packages O: o: Green Chile Cheese spreads tike butter rC.WaV yMMlwM-JVsT OrxoEhioDD lisp ff Goes Further h Delicious Flavor jj Vacuum Packed S .Guaranteed Jr PORTLAND BRANCH M.

But fate decreed that even this faint memory was not to be left unstained for Jack Dunn, for he says One of the facts which he is certain of is that Lee Dunn, who adopted him or into whose hands his strange destiny buffeted him, Was sent to a penitentiary for cracking i safes. This was some time during 1903, he says. Jack Dunn's next memory is that he became a ward of some Juvenile home in Portland, from which he escaped, only to be picked up and turned over to the Boys and Girls Aid Society. From here on, the strange buffetings which had filled his life increased. Salem Farmer Take Lad. The Aid Society, he says, farmed him out to one Bob Gardner, near Salem, and upon Gardner's death a few months later, he kept up his rolling, unattached career by being put In the custody of a Carey Garner, near Turner. Leaving the Garners, he began to shape his own destiny by roaming about the North west, finally locating at Welser, Idaho. . It was from Weiser that he came to Portland yesterday in an effort to en list in the Marine Corps. But, alas, fate had another disappointment in store for Jack Dunn, for he was refused enlist ment because of his inability- to tell the recruiting officer how old he is, where he was born or the names of his father and mother. Disconsolate but not discouraged. Jack yesterday afternoon sought Sheriff Hurlburt's aid in a campaign which he has planned for establishing his iden tity. Jack believes he is about 24 years old. Sheriff Hurlburt, after listening to and being touched by Jack Dunn's strange story, promised to give htm all , assistance possible in unraveling his tangled identity. Engineers Study German. .-.
