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.
