TREATING SOLDIERS RIGHT The following was published in a Wenatchee, Wash., paper: ' Just a word should be said in passing about the way Wenat chee is treating the soldier boys who are her guardians, as well as, to a degree at least, her guests. Every effort is being put forth to give both the Washington troops guarding the Columbia river bridge and other points on the Great Northern, and the Oregon troops who are on duty at other points in the valley as pleasant a stay as circumstances will permit. Many little acts of thoughtful ness are being done. Conspicu ous among the services rendered is that of H. N. May, of the Wenatchee Undertaking Com pany. Mr. May rescued the Oregon boys from the unsanitary camp on the old wagon lots on Wenatchee. He took them to the beautiful grounds at the home of the undertaking com pany, where the tents are pitch ed under big shade trees and on the grassy lawn. This service he has rendered without exact ing a cent of pay, in fact he would resent a proffer of remun eration. Not only that, but Mr. May can be seen at all hours of the day and evening, taking some of the boys in khaki out in his car for a ride. I his is a ser vice many other thoughtful citi zens contribute. Gifts are sent the boys every day. Many boxes of luscious cherries have been given the soldiers by individual citizens, and other good things to eat. One local man, a lawyer, sent the boys a box of cigars, not even permitting his name to be made known to them or any one else. Wenatchee wants the Wash ington and Oregon boys to know that the town appreciates their faithful work and the good, clean character of their service here.
