CALIFORNIA CATTLE
WANT MORE RANGE
Reports come from California to
the effect that there are 800 head of
cattle at Fresno and 80 more in
Santa Barbara county looking for
good grazing lands In northern Cali
fornia, according to a message re
ceived by H. S. Maddox, secretary of
the chamber of commerce and food
administrator for the city of Sacra
mento. The word comes from D. C.
Beers', a big cattleman of the south
ern part of the state, who reports
that unless proper grazing territory
is found for his cattle within a short
time there Is danger of serious loss.
Maddox gave the word out to the
public in the hope that it would reach
land owners of northern California
who had grazing lands available, and
u-im would communicate with the
chamber of commerce, offering reas
onable terms along patriotic lines of
helping to save the beef supply of the
state.
The matter Is also being taken up
with the state council of defense that
a speedy solution of the problem be
reached and arrangements made for
shipping the cattle north in case the
lands can be found available.
Out of 2,658 men of draft age who
registered in Lane county, only 46
have failed to return their question
naires which were sent out by the
county draft board. It is believed by
County Clerk S. M. Russell, who Is
a member of the board, that a num
ber of these men are now In the serv
ice and did not receive their ques
tionnaires, and it is thought that
many are out of the Btate and their
addresses are unknown. Most of the
questionnaires that were not filled
out and returned by the registrants
were returned to the board by the
postmasters at the offices to which
they were mailed, Indicating that the
registrants had left the places given
as their addresses at the time they
registered. Eugene Register.

TRYING FOft ARMY WEIGHT
Young Man Startles Restaurant Pa-
trons When He Ravenously Gulps
I Down Water and Food.
The young man strolled Into a Sixth
avenue restaurant of the better type
and quietly gave his order. There was
nothing conspicuous about his manner
or appearance, but when the bus boy
came along and the young man asked
for, received, and drank four glasses
of water In rapid succession, persons
near by stared at him out of the
whites of their eyes, so to speak.
Presently the wuiter returned with
a huge steak and about six types of
vegetables. The yoUng man nsked for
two glasses of water and proceeded
to eat slowly. The water wns brought
and drunk, and the young mnn cure
fully devoured the vast supply of food
before him. Then lie ordered chicken,
with potatoes au gratln, and two
glasses of water.
Just when the now thoroughly Inter
ested observers of this strange repast
were on the verge of irritation from
curiosity another young mnn strolled
In and sat down disconsolately across
from the first.
"It's all off," said the newcomer; "no
Flattsburg for me. I weigh 138 and I
needed 161. Gosh, It seems as if I
can never make anything."
The first young mnn looked, at hlra
Intently and thoughtfully.
"I got oil my papers through," he
said, "but I don't weigh in until three
o'clock."
He turned to the attentive waiter.
"Will you please," he sald,""'brlng me
an apple turnover, some rice pudding,
a napoleon, and two cups of coffee."

PERSHING KNOWS RED MEN
Noted General Has Had Much Experi
ence with Indians, and They Would
Receive Welcome.
"If a contingent of American Indi
ans Is sent to France to fight for
Uncle Sara against the central powers
they will find a warm welcome from
General Pershing," Col. J. A. George
of South Dakota remarked recently,
according to the Washington Post.
"General Pershing hfts been a friend of
the Indians for many years. He com
manded a company of Sioux Indian
scouts In the Sioux war of 1890-1801,
and has lived among the red men for a
good many years.
"I happened to be at the Pine Ridge
Indiun reservation In South Dakota
during the winter of 1890-1891, when
Pershing was a second lleutenunt. He
participated In the battle of Wounded
Knee and remnlned on the reservation
for months after the surrender of the
Indians, commanding the company of
Sioux scouts.
"In the summer of 1S91 Pershing
received promotion to first lieutenant,
while he wns at the head of the Sioux
scouts. His brother, who was with
him then, a kid boy, afterward be
came an officer, but retired a few
years later because of III health,
while Black Jack went on to great
things.
"Of course, it would be silly for me
to say that Pershing Is a first-class
omcer, ior nis present position as
head of the American forces In
France proves that, but I may say
that as far back as 1890 Pershing
showed that he was destined to be
come one of the great figures in the
military history of this country."
Vernacular of Cantonments.
The American pollu is not going over
seas unprovided with his own lingo,
as is clearly pointed out In Every-
Dody s. He calls himself, by the way,
a "doughboy" or "crusher," which is
fairly American-sounding. Cavalry
men he calls "bow-legs," a soldier who
shares his shelter Is his "bunkle," the
company barber Is "butcher," a sol
dier who works for an officer is a "dog
rotiber, the commanding officer Is al
luded to as "K O ;" a junior officer Is
called a "gont," the provost sergeant Is
a "hobo," a teamster is a "mule skin
ner," an old officer Is called "old file,"
the drum-major 13 the "regimental
monkey," the doctor Is "saw-bones."
new seco;id lieutenant Is a "shavetull,"
new artillerymen are "wagon sol
diers," and a trumpeter or bandsman
is a "windjammer." And our dough
boys nre like Tommy and pollu in that
they never complain when the "slum,"
I. e., the meat or vegetable stew, or
the "sow-belly," as the bacon Is called,
are bad. It's all In the game the
game of "Kan the kaiser" which Is
the only American equivalent thus far
of nuy of the French war slogans like
"Us ne passeront pas," or "On les
aura," "We'll get them," "They shall
not pass." ,
Such a Plausible Lie.
"I admire a liar," said a clubman,
"even when his prevarications strain
my credulity.
"A friend of mIne,wh(Tobjectsfo
efforts to pry Into his personal affairs
recently limped Into my place.
" 'What's the matter with your eetr
I asked, more to be polite than h.
cause I cared what was the trouble.
"Then he gained my admiration by
a display of nerve I never saw
equaled.
" 'An eel stepped on them he said."
New War Dog.
A new type of dog Is to be produced.
It will be known as the war dog. The
new breed Is the suggestion of Secre

dog breeders to produce an American

can dog will be trained for police and

NURSE FORGOT PASSWORD
Made Discovery That She Was Jabber.
Ing French to Home Neighbor Who
Was on Guard Duty.
An American nurse "Somewhere In
France," tells this story to friends back
home.
"I was feeling wornout and nervous
one day, and asked the privilege of
taking a walk In the fresh air. My re
quest was granted, and getting the
password, I started out with a younger'
nurse for my companion. After enjoy
ing a long walk we returned, but came
to a sudden halt before a soldier on
guard, who demanded, in French, that
I give the password. I had forgotten
It. It had not been given to the other
nurse, so she could not help me out of
my predlcnment. I used all the French
at my command, trying to explain to
him, nnd finally trying to argua with
hlii'i that I must get back, password or
no password. He argued, In the same
language, and stoo8 his grounds. At
last, tired out, angry with myself nnd
with this wooden-faced, obstinate per
son who blocked my way, I cried out,
like a cross child : 'Ish Geblbble.' "
"Instantly the wooden fuce changed
to a very human, boyish fuce. The sol
dier caught me by the shoulder and
shook me soundly, exclaiming: 'Are
you an American? Then why on enrth
did you jabber all that stuff at me?"
"'Why did you jabber back, In the
same languaKeV I growled.
" T thought I was the only American
around here,' he laughed.
"Then we compared notes, nnd found
that we not only both hailed from good
old U. S. A., but from the same big old
city, and tlint his home had been on
the next street back of my home street.
Maybe you think that wasn't some re
union! And maybe you think I didn't
go walking again, with no need of re
membering my password." '
GERMANS LACK THINKING MEN
Despite Advanced Age of Many Prus
sian Warriors They Have Little
Comprehension of Situation.
Germany In making a cnll for men
up to forty-seven years of age has ta
ken advantage of two more years
above the conscription maximum of
forty-five. Most individuals when they
approach the fiftieth year have about
concluded their fighting days through
Inability to keep down their girth
measure. But certain conditions In
Germany, over which thnt country has
had little control, have served, no
doubt, to keep the human form within
military bounds. Americans who go to
France, therefore, are likely to have
to fight babes in arms and old gentle
men If the age limits ore stretched
further under Prussian regulations, ob
serves the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps, after all, this conscripting
of men above forty-five will produce
some effect In the ranks that may be
useful toward letting light into dark
places. The nrmy knows little of what
Is going on In the world. If half of the
seasoned soldiers really believe that
London Is In ruins and the German
fleet Is in control of the sea, they may
learn something to their advantage by
consulting a few of the old stagers who
are compelled at this late date to join
the colors. Men born In 1870 ought to
be more difficult to deceive, and a few
of such scattered through' the army
may serve to enlighten the fighting
multitude as to the error of their be
lief. It is presuming much to expect
results from this source, but if a man
above forty-five is good for anything
as a trench fighter, he ought to be good
at shooting off his mouth. And, after
all, what Germany lacks most Is more
men who will talk and think.
New Type of "Vampire."
Arrest at the Instance of nn array
officer of a young woman who had
committed bigamy in order to secure
the allowance granted to soldiers' de
pendents gives color to the warning
Issued against this new type of "vam
pire," notes the Oniahn Bee. Young
fiohliers are picked out by these wom
en and deliberately led Into marriage,
the one purpose being to secure money
from the government. The game is
not a new one, nor does it exhibit
much modification in its details. It Is
reported from some of the Southern
army camps that as many as three
and four soldiers have been wedded
to the same womnn. The young men
who are nway from home for the first
time, wearing their country's uniform,
should be wurned thnt mnrrlnge is not 1
merely nn enlistment for the war, nnd j
therefore to be approached very seri
ously. Romance is part of a soldier's I
life, but It may have consequences
thnt will embarrass him In nfter
years. The "vampire" Is one of his
chlefest dangers, nnd one against
whom It Is difficult to guard.
Japanese "Steel Queen" Retires.
Mrs. Teruko Naknmura of OBnka,
popularly known as 'The Steel
Queen," has announced her retirement
from business. She intends to travel
about the empire giving free Dim
shows for the better education of the
masses. She Is making elaborate prep
arations to Instruct the uneducated
about the peoples of other nations of
the world. Uer views of American
cities are especially extensive and well
selected. Her efforts will be concen
trated on the factory towns, where
much Ignorance exists. Mrs. Nakamu-
ra Is thirty-four years old and has
been a widow for eight years. Her
husband died deeply in debt, but she
undertook the management of his steel
mills and has not only paid off all
debts but is herself rated many times
