' It is the testimony of those who lave seen" "moth of the "former Na tional Guard' men, also of the newly drafted army, that & splendid mili tary Bplrlt Is being developed among them. The former militiamen are J1KJ . t.ntn. ...on ..... i VODltl 1 LTOU CHS UUlUg V V w u SUJUt w QWK ver to 'France and J)egln bUBlness. Fellows who' before there was any xpectatlon of war Joined' the militia companies did not do so from mere 'love of sport, comradeship or mili tary exercises. ' . They were men In whom the . Amer ican spirit funs high, and in whom there is an exceptional Interest in oldlerly achievement. When a man of this temperament is put up against the present proposition, he reacts quickly. He resents insults offered our flag and citizens. He realizes that the only way a nation can ac quire honor and safety Is to show that It does possess some virile force and that It is capable of defending Its rights If It has to. The spirit of the drafted men Is not no much different. To many of them the war problems are new. But In the atmosphere of camp life It will be difficult for them to remain out elders In sympathy. They will soon ladpn Vl n Mr n hmiA n uniil nnnnn 4 l-V u iiiuk no nao a cat va una km fight for. Not many of them will favor the idea that the American people should He down and say "Please kick me." The soldiers who are described as eager to go are no more anxious than anyone else to lose their, lives 'or run needless risks. But like the man who has a tooth to be pulled, they know there can be no comfort until the bad job is tackled and done They want to get It over as quickly as possible. Also It sticks In the crop of the normal American young man that our enemies are laughing and chuck ling over America's "wooden sword." ' They should dp their laughing right now when they can do It, as they may not get a chance later. When our boys go "over the top" In France there will be things doing that Frltzy does not anticipate. The big paper mills of Oregon City, now working on an eight-hour sched ule, announce they cannot accede to the demand of the union for a closed hop.

Splendid Welcome Given Drafted Men "Superlative" Is the adjective ap plied to Ashland In Its treatment of the 6,000 or 7,000 drafted men who have passed through here and have been supplied with meals within the past two weeks while on the way to the big army encampment at Ameri can Lake, The average citizen has no conception of the labor Involved In this task, for It Implied greater re sponsibilities than the mere feeding of the men. In one capacity or an other five Southern Pacific officials were Identified with the Job. They included A. B. Page of Seattle, travel ing representative; B. Sutherland of Portland, who represented John M. Scott of the general ticket and pas senger agency; F.- M. Black of the commissary department. San Fran cisco; George N. Kramer, local agent, snd W. N. Wright of the ticket de partment at the Ashland station. Troop trains were met by these offi cials', who wore distinctive badges, and the men were systematically lined up at the respective eating sta tions, the allotment being divided be tween the Depot hotel and J. M. East erling's restaurant. The men were not only abundantly fed but were otherwise entertained, the musical feature not being overlooked, as pa triotic airs were played during meal hours, the boys joining In a hilarious chorus prompted by the sentiment of all-around good fellowship. The ladles also did their share In welcoming the soldier boys. The ex hibit building was a distributing cen ter for fruits and flowers. These were pnsRed out In abundant meas ure, accompanied by words of cheer from the fair donors, whose acts of kindness were most cordially appre ciated by the thousands of men who shared In the dispensing of this gen erous hospitality.

O. Hammatt, the expert en gineer employed to investigate the supply of water for the new Irrigation district, reports that there will be no difficulty In securing an adequate supply of water, but that the cost will be somewhat large. Six sources of supply have been under consideration but the investigation has narrowed down to about three as being practi cal. Jacksonville Post. Rev. F,. W. Carstens, pastor of the Baptist church, who recently resigned on account of 111 health, and after whose departure for Washington state on business the congregation refused to accept the resignation, ar- rived home this week for a few days, when he will leave for eastern Oregon to look after his ranch there.

The securing of this plant would mean Its continuous operation here for several months. Rogue River Courier. Word received at the local forest service office this week is tolhe ef fect that the forest fires which have been raging In the Tiller district are practically under control and many of the fire-fighters who have been called to that section will be returned at once. In othersectlons where for est fires have been burning the same report has been received, and there Is little likelihood there will be any further trouble in keeping the fires under control.

Eugene Dally , Guard, - Farmers pan Invest In Liberty Bonds During his San Francisco visit, Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo made tne followlng ,tate ment concerning the farmer and the Second Llberty ,oan. "Now I should like to say a word about the farmer in this particular campaign. In the first campaign for the sale of Liberty bonds I expressly requested that the farmer should not 1 be solicited because we were then trying to stimulate production and I did not think It was Just to ask the farmer to buy at that time, but now that .the crops have been har vested the farmer is receiving the surplus from very bounteous harvests and there is nothing he can buy any better than these bonds. "The son of the farmer Is taking his part In this war. I found in little villages people who came out to rail road stations asking me to say a few words. I found that every one of these villages was contributing its quota and doing it In fine spirit, and so the sons of farmers, like the sons of others, all were being brought to gether In this great army without distinction, and going forth to serve their country. The farmer is as much interested in this great army of ours as any other class of people, and I think If these bonds sold to provide arms, ammunition and supplies for that army are brought particularly to the attention of the farmer he will respond and do his share."

Municipal bread depots will be provided If It is found that retailers cannot be con trolled under a voluntary arrange ment. The baking industry was left out of the general food control law to be put Into effect November 1. Be fore taking any step to deal with the business the food administration wishes to standardize baking flour; bread ingredients and either the size of the loaf or the price. If the size of the loaf Is to be standardized, Mr. Hoover believes prices can be kept down through compettlion, and if the price is sta bilized he believes competition will keep the size of the load from being re u . ' y . . If a Icensing system is put Into effect, it cannot be made to apply to retailers and the price will be for bread at the bakery. The plan for bread depots w 11 be put Into effect. if retailers refuse to cooperate in holding prices down.
