He was in training with the big guns. He was id the service eight months and over In France four months. He speaks in high terms of the efficiency of the American Artil lerymen and the accuracy of their fir ing. He believes tn the last great bat tle in, the Argonhe Forest it would have been better, while the American soldiers' mettle was up to have let them gone on and captured the Ger man Army and compelled an uncon ditional surrender. This would have stopped much of the parlylng that Is going on now and made it much easier for democracy to rule.

As we have Just finished another year's work, it will be interesting to know that the Oranges in general throughout the county have more than held their own 1n membership and have done better in regard to real Grange work. We have gotten together in most all ways of cooperative buying and have saved ourselves hundreds of dollars and this Is more than we have done In auy previous year. There is no Grange in t'. o couuty that has lost materially In member fabip, w!ii!o others have mora than d ubled iu membership. There lio boen one new Orange organized with a good membership list, with Btill more 10 iouow. so. considering the abnor mal condition of the county, we have done exceedingly well. Elk City Grange was reorganized with as large a momber list as when they went down, and they have taken a new lease on life anil are starting In on tho new year with brfeht pros pects ahead. Elmer Londarcaa, Mas ter; Mra. Ryerson, Secretary; Clyde Knapp, Lecturer. Toledo Orange has nearly doubled in membership In the past year, and Is considered one of the host Oranges In th State. They do all their business in a cooperative way. Claus Chrls tanscn, Master; A. L. ThomuB, Secre tary; J. E. Cootor, Lecturer. Lincoln Grange is considered the biggest little Grange In the State. They have had a hard row to hoe, but they have hoed the row well and are growing' both In members and many other ways. Mrs. Hester Coovert, Master; S. A. Holmgreen Secretary; Mrs. Wood, Lecturer. Waldport Grange Is still on the map and la doing business at the same old fitand. Have held their own In every way. On account of sickness have not been able to meet and Install their officers tills year. Slleti Valley Grange was reorganlx ed with a lurgor membership than when they went down. They have taken a new lease on life with a great er determination than ever before. We will l.eur from them and their work as tho year ndvonces. A. B. Slocum, Muster; Walter Ross, Secre tary; Mrs. Slocum, Lecturer. Sllutx Valloy Grange is situated in one of the tifoet fertile valley.) :n Oregon, or tn the world. Salmon River Grange Is locaU 3 In the extreme northern part of the county. Wliilo this Is one of the chos en spots of Oregon In regard to fertile soil, it is also one of the hardest places int he county to get to. But after one has cllmed the mountain snd decended the other side you will meet a bunch of the best people In the whole world, and, you will always feel repaid fur the struggle of getting over the mount ain. This Grange has more than held their own In every way and have their hall all paid tor and money In the treasury to pay for th pslnt to palut '.he hall. This Is another ono of the best Oranges In the State. C. M. War ren, Master; W. L. Bloom, Secretary; Miss Louxelle Korney, Lecturer. Big Elk Grange Is another wide awake Grange. On account of sick ness have not been able to meet with them this year but will hear a good report from them later on. Plans are being laid tor building a new hall. The ground has been given and lum ber Is being sawed for the new hall so look for big things from Big Elk Grange this year. Eddyville Orange is one of the old stand bys. While they have not been making much noise the past year, look out for an explosion this coming year. They expect to commence to doing business the first of April. Thry have not lost any members. All have kept paid up. C. It. Wakefield, Mastor; S. T. Loudon, Secretary; Mrs. Mabel Oirdler, Lecturer. TafL Grange Is th baby ot tho flock, but Is growing fine and fat The membership Of this Grange covers more territory than any othor Grang In Oregon or any other State the writ er knows, for we have traveled over most of it and ksow. Have traveled by beach and by mud. Within the next year this will b ons of the beet Oranges In the county. G. A. Aronson, Master; Paul Chaltitrton.
