"Dear Ones at Home: "The weather has been comforta ble until this afternoon, when the breeze dropped and we all had a good sweat. About like August In Ash land. "They are beginning to cut wheat. Corn is about three feet high. "Am eating with a new company now. The food Is pretty good. Our boys are better educated than the average soldiers. I believe I do not bear one-fifth as much rough talk as at Vancouver. A field law went Into effect this morning Imposing a fine of $1,000 on anyone who sells Hquor to a man In uniform, and all soldiers and officers are required to wear the uniform all the time.

That nay spoil our chances for flying, but 'I do not care much. I have no ambi tion for an army career merely want to serve as much as possible during the present emergency. So don't worry about me. I shall prob ably be safer than if I stayed here. "Yours with love, "OLIVER." "Run Antonio, Texas, May 29. "Dear Folks at Home: (We have written a number of times.) "I still hope for mall, but never pet any. Perhaps Ithas been returned. Always put the rturn on. About all we know Is that we start for France some time this week. The officer In chnrRe will have sealed or ders which he will open every one hundred miles We will likely stop a nhort time In New York. We received a lot of clothes today for both sum mer and winter wear. We have no weapons of any kind. Wouldn't know how to use them If we had. so I think we will work Instead of fight. Rome of the boys here are good art ists. At first they gathered up little white snail shells and made various letters and designs about their tents, then a rain came one night and part of the snails crawled away, so now they are using small pebbles. "Yours with love, "OLIVER MORTON." 1 1 Mountain school District a, near Eagle Point. A. N. Palmer, author of the state text, The Palmer Method, has award ed prizes to the nine students in Jack son county who made greatest prog ress in penmanship during the past year. The writing papers showing the students' handwriting werp col lected at four different times during the year. These furnished a basis upon which to judge improvement. In commenting upon the work Mr. Palmer says: "These children have made great progress. Most of them wrote a little pinched hand In the j 14 ' fall, while now they write with free- 1 fi dom.

The penmanship .Honor Guard Girls Need Ammunition The Honor Guard girls' class in rifle practice holds target practice twice weekly at the Indoor range in the armory. The girls have been greatly handicapped, however, by the lack of ammunition. The shells they - have got hold of so far are very un reliable, most ot them going "spiff" nd falling out of the end of the rifle Instead of heading for the target. A regulation weight and pattern army rifle, callbred for .22 cartridges, Is used, and the girls need about a thou sand rounds of ammunition', which ould copt about $4.60. Who will be the first to fcelp along the cause by tuytng a thousand rounds of ammuni tion for the glrU? Anyone wishing to Jo so should communicate with Mrs. JIaJ McNair. ' . First, Helen Dugan, Long Mountain school, Eagle Point. Second, Elva Coleman, Jacksonville school. Third, Geneva Mandeville,, Oak Grove, Medford. Fourth, Luclle Abbott, Jacksonville school. Fifth, ITulda Johnson, Rock Point, Gold Hill. Sixth, Glenn McDaniel, Apple&ate school. Seventh, Lois Hall, Talent school. Eighth, May Clarke, Talent school. Ninth, Kendall Hall, Central Point school. The prizes will be sent directly from Mr. Palmer's office in New York to each of the above contestants. Dailey Case Is Dismissed On motion of Prosecuting Attorney Georgo Rolie-ts In the circuit court yesterday afternoon, W. C. Daley, the Lake Creek pioneer, charged with criminal assault upon Miss Anna Dorn, was released on a directed ver dict of acquittal. After thi complaining witness had been placed upon the stand by the state and was unable to state her age, the county In which sho lived or tell a coherent ntory of the crime, the prosecuting attorney decided it was a waste of time and money to con tinue action further. Commendation of this move was heard throughout the court room, It being apparent that a continuation of the case would be folly, the general opinion being that th charge was trumped up by ene mies of the Lake Creek pioneer, the girl In the case being mentally defi cient and a helpless victim in the hands of anyone wishing to impose upon her. The motion for dismissal was made when court convened for the after noon session, and the jury was dis charged until 9 o'clock Monday morn, ing, when the retrial of the Garwood arson case will commence. This trial promises to arouse great public Inter est and a battle royal is looked for between the opposing attorneys, Gus Newbury and Proeecutlng Attorney Roberts.

The gentleman spent the night in the city bastlle and seemed well satisfied with the ac commodations. A detective, Fred L. Ulen, formerly acquainted in this vi cinity, was with the forger, whom h,e was taking to Portland from Reno, Nev. The stop was made here to break the monotony of traveling in close companionship handcuffed companionship, in fact.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT1 Oakland Impending Call Hurts Clothes Sales Roseburg Pendleton men open a new theatre Jjere. will Wonderful lavender ties, pink sox, rainbow-tinted shirts, rakish Tanama hats and the other loved regalia which the summer zephyrs blow into the show windows of the city's haber dasheries now offer their beauties to unseeing eyes, for the young men of the city are interested in the show windows which offer a glimpse of im maculate models clothed in the latest military coats, khaki contraptions for the comfort of the soldier and the other regalia of army life. While the clothiers of the city rer port that there has been a good sale of suits, nevertheless it Is noticed that there has been a very low per centage of enlisted purchasers. One of the largest clothing merchants of the city recently laid in a large stock of the season's most advanced models, but the war conditions have Injured their disposal to a marked degree, for none of the local militiamen feel that they should Invest in new clothes when the time is so near at hand when their civilian sconery shall be discarded and the O. D.'s of the army take their place in the wardrobes of the city's young men. Many of the enlisted men are work ing on nearby ranches and at the saw mills and logging camps where they can wear out their old clothes and thus leave their clothes closets empty when the call for mobilization la 1st sued. Another reason for the decreas ing suit sales Is summed up in the expression of one of the militiamen, who said: "Why should we buy suits now, when they will probably be out of style when we get home?"
