Troop 49 won the annual Boy Scouts
field rally held on Vaughn street
grounds yesterday afternoon with a
score of 46 points. The nearest com
petitor was troop 23 with a score of 40.
Fourteen events were on the card,
which was one of the best ever put on
by the local council. Beginning with
the crab race there was not a dull
moment during the afternoon. The race
was one of the most comical seen In
any rally held here. Joe Miscovitz won
this event after being crowded all the
way by George Gorlave, who placed
second.
The horse-and-rlder contest proved
the big stunt of the day. On the back of
each "horse" was a rider who rushed
at his opponent and tried to pull him
off. When an entrant was thrown off
he was eliminated. Walter Danzlger
and Harold Rowley tied with Fred
Boody and Jack Vines for first place.
After they had tried in vain to dislodge
each other, the judges decided it a
draw.
Fix Event Thriller.
The fire-hy-frictlon and water-boiling
event showed better than anything
else on the programme the purpose of
the boy scout movement. There were
five entrants In this and the competi
tion was exceptionally close. Sherwood
Walls succeeded In nosing out his
rivals after a very spirited contest.
Philip Webber was second and Wayne
Taylor tihrd-
Troop 23 won the wall scaling con
test and troop 43 carried off the second
honors. There were eight men on a
team and the wall was 10 feet high.
Ora Folndexter and Harold Rowley
divided honors In the archery events,
ltowley taking the direction and Foin
dexter the distance. Foindexter stood
next to the grandstand on the east end
and shot his arrow to the opposite
fence.

SETH BAILEY, PORTLAND BOY,
. IS BOTH WRITER AND FIGHTER
Stories of Great Battles, Prtn ted in "The Stars and Stripes," Popular
With Soldiers.
BY REX H. IiAMPMAN.
AR1S, April 26. (By Mall)
""Writer and fighter, too," is the
line that may be used to describe
the military career of Sergeant Seta T.
Bailey, who was born at Murphy,
Josephine county. Or., and whose par-.
ents, Mr. and Mrs. George N. Bailey,
now live at 326 Sherman street. Port
land.
As a fighter he saw all phases of the
war, was on every front, took part in
every major action in which American
troops engaged, from and including Au
gust, 1917, until the armistice, was in
the front line on the last day of the
war, and went into Germany with the
army of occupation, reaching the Rhine
at Coblenz, December 11-
As a writer Sergeant Bailey origi
nated the "Dear Henry" letters, pur
porting to be written by a roughneck
doughboy to his pal in another unit in
France. He began sending the letters
to the Stars and Stripes, the "of. by and
for" A. E. F. newspaper, in July. 1918.
They made an instant hit and it was
recognized that in "S. T. B-," as they
were signed, the A. E. F. had found its
humorist a real doughboy who suf
fered, knew and felt all that anydough-
boy did, and who saw everything that
happened through the glass of a droll
and diverting philosophy.
Bailey was a member of the Dallas
company of the Oregon national guard.
and came across with the 162d regi
ment of the 41st or "Sunset" division.
He landed in England on Christmas day.
1917, and in France January 1, 1918. At
Toul he became an Instructor in hand-
grenade throwing, bayonet - tratning
and scouting, and was thus engaged
when he "took his pen in hand" to
write his first letter to "Dear Henry."
The officers in charge of the Stars
and Stripes lost little time in having
the burgeoning humorist transferred to
the staff of the paper in Paris. That
was on August 5, 1918, and it looked
like Bailey might be destined to spend
the rest of the war, like many another
battle-hungry hero, on the "Paris
front."
But the Stars and Stripes did not pro
pose to cover the war from the rear,
and Bailey was suddenly rushed off to
the Vesle river, where he took part In
the taking of the towns of Fismes and
Fismetes. He was gassed and slightly
wounded by high explosive H. E., the
doughboy calls it in the St. Mihiel of
fensive. The last day of the war found
him on the Argonne front, ready to go
over the top in the big drive which
the Heinies knew was coming, and
which knowledge hastened their sign
ing of an armistice which amounted to
unconditional surrender.
The Stars and Stripes had more than
one correspondent on the front, but the
Fame quality that endeared his "Henry
letters to the entire A. K. r . its very

What's in a Name?
Nothing or everything.
As the designation of an institution it means nothing. '
For example: The Owl Drug Co. might just as well
have been called The "Bird" Drug Co. The name in
itself is but a group of words, by which the company is
identified in the business and legal records of the State
and Nation.
Used as expressing a reputation it is everything- "a Good
Name is rather to be chosen than great riches."
The management of The Owl Drug Co., which has never
been, changed since its organization twenty-seven years ago,
has always tried to make the name synonymous with
Quality, Value and Service; to have it remembered, not
because it is easy to remember, but because of pleasant
association; and to make it an asset more to be considered
than stocks of merchandise and holdings of land.
If, when you think of drugs and toilet articles you think
first of The Owl Drug Co., there is everything in that name,
for then it means more than figures and words can express.

WouldYou

Thief in
Your
House?
Of course not, you would shun him as you would a plague.
You 'would reason, and justly so, that no article of value
would be safe in the house with such a person on your
premises.
Yet you will live month after month and perhaps year
after year with decayed teeth and diseased gums in your
mouth.
The thief would only steal articles of money value easily
replaced, while decayed teeth and diseased gums will under
mine your health and in time kill you or leave you a physical
wreck.
Such neglect of your teeth is unpardonable in an age when
dental skill has been brought to an exact science.
If you have any decayed stumps in your mouth come to
my office at once and have them painlessly removed and if
a few sound teeth remain, a bridge substituted.
If you have no sound teeth on which to attach a bridge,
then a scientifically constructed and perfectly fitting plate
will give you satisfactory results.
I make a specialty of this branch of work and will guar
antee in every case the best results obtainable.
