J. A. Yco, Prop.
portant factor in the development of
the counties affected, and the an
nouncement was very acceptable
news. In the near future lands In
the northern part of the grant will
also be opened.
Congressman Hawley has been
working on the project for the last
two years. He recently conferred
with Commissioner Tallman about
having the lands on the watersheds
placed in the national forest to pro
tect the water supply at Oregon City,
Dallas and Corvallls, and for which
purpose ho has introduced a hill. Tlu
land department will probably niako
favorable recommendation for this
legislation.
HONOR FLAG FEATl'I'E
OF LOAN CAMPAIGN
. A new and distinctive feature will
be introduced in the third Liberty
Loan campaign, and every city or
town in the country which subscribes
more than Its quota of Liberty bonds
will be awarded by the Treasury De
partment an honor flag.
The flag will be 36 inches wide and
54 inches long. The body of the flag
will be white with a broad red bor
der, and three broad blue vertical
stripes denoting the third loan. The
flags, which will be of the same qual
ity as the flags of the navy, are al
ready being manufactured and will
be awarded as fast as the right to
fly them is won. Though awarded
by the Treasury Department, they
will be distributed by the Liberty
Loan committees of the different dis
tricts. There will also be a national hon
or flag for each state, to be flown
at the state capltol, with the name
of each town winning a flag in
scribed upon It. There will be also
preserved in the United States treas
ury a national honor flag, with the
record of each state recorded on it.
Stars, to be placed on the flag of
each city or town doubling its quota,
will be also awarded, and an addi
tional star for each time the quota
is doubled.
An honor roll, containing the
names of all subscribers, but not the
amount of the individual subscrip
tions, will be kept in each commun
ity. A window card, bearing a rep
resentation of the honor flag, will be
given each subscriber to the loan, to
be displayed at the home or place of
business.
ROND ALLOTMENTS
FOR COUNTIES MADE
Allotment by counties of the Ore
gon quota of the nation's $3,000,
000,000 of Liberty Loan bonds wa3
announced by letter at state cam
paign headquarters Monday morning
from the regional reserve bank at
San Francisco. The state's quota of
$18,495,000 Is the same as the mini
mum1 for the second issue of war
bonds. In this drive the state Is ex
pected to oversubscribe its minimum
quota. If this is done in all the
states there will be no necessity of
calling for Liberty Loan subscrip
tions from the people until next fall.
In each county the allotment for
each city and town will have to be
worked out, but whether this will be
done at San Francisco or in Portland
has not yet been determined. Port
land's share of the state's minimum
of war bond subscriptions has been
fixed at $10,050,000.
Following are the quotas assigned
to the southern Oregon counties:
Jackson, $388,000; Josephine, $106,

The Junior high school Is entitled to
the war certificate of $5. It won
two first and three seconds against
Ilawthornes one first. We could not
arrange a competition between Jun
ior high and Senior high schools, so
I am asking that one first and one
second prize be given to both 9B and
9A grades in place of one prize of
$5 to the winning school. They will
divide the prize equally between the
pupils of the two schools concerned."
The ten teams selected from the
Senior high to work on the thrift
stamp drive met with good success
as a whole. The amounts raised by
the team? ranged all the way from
?25 to $GO0. Those who solicited in
this drive were: Alice Hast and

connection with the war. The facts

very instructive talk. Dick Shim and
Isabelle Barron sang a duet as a pre

it is an organization to be proud of
now. Several mornings the past
week they placed themselves In fron:
of our barracks at 7 o'clock and
nlaved several pieces. It Is a fine
way to start the day, and at that
early hour the music seemed to sound
exceptionally sweet and inspiring.
I am enclosing a copy of "Plane
News" again. I was able to see the
costume ball which It describes by
climbing up on some boxes and peek
ing through the window over a lot
of heads. The costumes were mar
veloup, considering the difficulties
there are in the way of obtaining
such things. Some of the ladles were
quite charming until they took off
their wigs. Every program at the
"Y" shows up some new talent, and
some of it Is of a high quality; which
might ibe expected, however, when
you consider that there are men here
from every part of the country and
from all walks of life.
I have tried to make up for some
of my short letters of late and have
probably only bored you, so will
close. With much love,
OLIVER.

Dear Folks at Home: It has been
a long time since I have received any
mail. I am beginning to wonder if
some of my mail may not have gono
to the new 29th Aero Squadron in
stead of coming to the new 400th
or old 29th. Some time ago I re
ceived a letter addressed to Supply
Sergeant Morton (different Initials,
however), 29th Aero Squadron, and
it certainly was not meant for me.
Quite a coincidence that the two
squadrons of the same number
should each have a S. Sgt. named
Morton.
I was talking with an Infantryman
last evening who Is hero on a pass
to see his brother. He thinks that
we are fixed up mighty fine here,
and I guess that we aro, compared
to the accommodations that tho In
fantry have. In fact, we have things
much nicer than the other Aero
Squadrons here on account of being
the pioneers and a permauent fixture
here. But most of us would gladly
change places with bohio of the
squadrons who leave here from tlma
to time for places where there Is
some action and where one would
have a chance to do something really
worth while for the cause for which
we enlisted.
Four of us went for a stroll this
afternoon, and although there are
tiny villages near here In any direc
tion, we are not permitted to enter
any of them now, so we kept to the
fields. Perhaps I can toll you a few
things of Interest which I have not
mentioned before.
There are no fences around here.
In fact, you scarcely ever see a fence
in France except around some dwell
ing and garden of some wealthy per
son, 'and then It Is a solid stone fence
about eight or nine feet high. You
find two or three hundred acres of
grain, a large vineyard next to that,
then a piece of pasture with about
75 sheep grazing on it under the
watchful eye of a young or very old
sh'pherd or shepherdess, then a
grove of perhaps 100 acres of trees
resembling our bull pine growing in
rows and quite close together.
The farm houses are built of stoni
and are usually In groups of four
o five arranged In a squaro with a
rather large court Inside, In the cen
ter of which is always a duck pond,
tho water of which Is a bluish green,
colored so by the decaying straw
around tho edges, I suppose I al
ways have to dobate a whilo to de
cide which buildings are the barna
and which are the dwellings. Some
of the farmers live In the little vil
lages, I guess. They are mucli
cleaner than the farm groups and
the houses are neat and durable.
As the farmers are often working
quite a distance from home, they
have placed tiny buildings here and
thera for shelter In caso of rain.
There are many of them around tho
vineyards.
They have been trimming the vine
yards the past week. All cuttings)
are carefully gathered and bundled
for fuel. At the end of every flftli
row they havo some sort of stump
which furnishes each year a crop of
long, pliable withes of a bright yel
low color with which they tie up the
bundles of cuttings. Another thing
which shows tho thoroughness of

these Old Countrymen. About three
feet outside of the end posts of each
row) they have planted a root to
which they anchor the top wire after
bringing it over the post.
There are some things which the
Americans can learn from the
French, and a great many things
which they can learn from the Amer
icans. I hope our association to
gether will result in mutual bonefits.
My love to all,
