Spencer. Ashland, Oregon. Yy Dear Mr. and Mrs Spencer. On yesterday, we laid to rest on.' of your hoys, Herbert, who rassed f.way at Ease Hospital 21, American Red Cross. Limoges, after a very snort Illness from pneumonia. Need less to say, his life could not have been saved. 1 am very sure that ev erything wus done for your boy that medical science knows how to do. You may ho In a measure consoled with the knowledge that we soldiers with the- American Expeditionary Force have as our phjBlclans and surgeons the vory ablest of the pro fession to be found. Our Red Cress nurses are also in abundance and 1 have never seen a more wonderful tot of women than these. I say this to assure you that Her lurt had matchless care through his lllncrs. Not only were his physicians and nuri:s skilled, but they were tympanitic. Ills own dear mother vould not, could not have been more tireless nor Interested than were his I'nrses. Were his own father tho world's most renowa?d lung special ist, he could not have done more for ilerliert than his physicians did for him. And his flck bed and sur Toundlngs could not have been more comfortable and cheerful had his last IlIneES bi;en In his own home, This with the "one exception that mother's and father's presenca In Herbert's last hours could not be substituted for. Herbert's funeral was very impres sive. His old comrades from the old Ashland 1st Company, Oregon Na tional Guards, who are with the 65th were present in a body, and 'brough: wonderful designs of lovely flowers trom the florists, wreaths, cut flow r :!.. ard e.-cn potted plants were rent by the members of Battery E rr.lh. Officers and nurses, a long friHtiAoi! IiIk remains to th.' ! cemetery. i The undersigned conducted a j jiiort service at the grave, after the I I "iiedlction, two bugles blew taps, land Herbert's body was at rest ! await!::; his next reveille on the Res ! urrcction morn, when Gabriel's i trumpet shall summons nil such I krUian soldiers to their new Cap tain's presence. I knew Herbert at Fort Stevens nr.d ever since. Like all others whs liirw him, 1 admired him as a good soldier and as a man. No higher tribut? can be paid any of God'k creatures. Vie all feel the loss of or.r comrade ?nd wish to assure you of our heartfelt sympathy. May God Hess and comfort j'ou Is tho prayer of , Yours sincerely, ALBERT K. MATHEWS, First Lieutenant V. S.

I Judge C. D. Watson, who went to Klamath Falls last spring where he recured a position as watchman at He Ewauna box factory, has come tr.to his own, according to his state ment. In the following letter to tho Tortland Oregonlan, the judgo tells how he has found health and satis lied his conscience In common labor: Klamath Falls, August 16. I notice In the Oregonlan, and in other papers, frequent Inquiry for information as to where and how the writers may secure employment, gen erally with the government, declar- ,Irg a Btrong desire to do their bit In !hP3C troublous times. Somo Inquire if there is a chance for lawyers and law clerks, etc. I would like to say something on this line. I am 68 years old; practiced law for 36 years and retired on account of ill health some yonrs n?o; got me a little farm and regained my health by outside labor, but did not return to my practice, preferring the out side work; have written much for newspapers and magazines and fin 1 H at, though a lawyer, I can turn my hand to almost anything nnd that out-of-door work Is the surest safe guard of health and contentment. I have one son who Is a first lieu tenant In the army ami Is now in charge of a large depot of engineers' supplies at Camp Sheridan, Alabama, though he preferred to go over there I have cne daughter who Is married and in business of lur own. Tills left me all alone In my pleasant lit tle homo in Ashland, as my wifJ has long bIiico passed on. I am a mom ber of the public service reserve, but have not been assigned to any em ployment. I felt that I could and ought to he doing something to help win tho war and easily secured employment Ihe Ewauna box factory at Klamath ?all3, as a night watchman, and am now on my fourth month in such ca pacity. Since I have been on the Job I lave not lo:;t a night nor had a day (ff. noliclidays, not even a S:nl::y, pnd am fcdlng much better than M;(n I started In; In fact, ":;s fine ui a fiddle " There are ur?e:t czU lor btvrs to pa tit tho f''u!t that r.iusl bo toivcrvi J for fotid. I feel that my ';vh Is practif 'iiy war work and lr.,it I am (loin;; my bit. " , liico In ore of the countl'-s where I urrd to !.o (l!:tr!ct attorney and :.n: v. ell know n - have be?n. In fact, .'ri- more than 4') yeatr- I find v Hibarrasmeiit In b.'ing thus ern ployrd. Th"1 necessity a:::! the pur pore di;n!fi(s the work ur.d the man who does it. I find that hue ther; " a gre;:t d.orta;; of labor about the many sawmills and box factories; iwiy boys, girls and women holnr jT.ployoJ. rr.d still a shortage. I Mather from '.he pap.-rs that every immunity in which tliere are mlllr., t.irtorlos or farms the same fhortage is an embarrassment. It seems to no that tlitre is no need of adver- It'sing for something to do In trying ' to display one's desire to "help hu manity In this hour of great need.'' There are Jobs all over the country ttady for every one who carnest'y wants to help. I believe, too, that there are i great many people who are hldin'; 1 1 cliind old ag, who have plenty of strength and good health and who o.ieht to be at work ut something. Old age ought not to he an excuse if one's health Is good, neither can Ml have their choice of work, nor rhould the fact that one does not i.eed to take employment he an ex tnse. In the war countries today old men and women and even little children are compelled by Hie situa tion to work at whatever necessity requires. I would say to tiles'? who seem in.iou3 for a position, get It when and at whatever labor rany be offer ed. We are familiar with thr.t cla vfco are always looking for a job and rraylng they may net find it. Thsre are plenty of that class y?t. Young or old, who are able to work and are net dclng It, are "slackers." Get to work. C. R. WATSON. Repre- LAYING PLANS FOR RETl'KXEl) .SOLDIEILS When the soldier cf 1S65 laid t'own his arms to take up a civil oc cupation he turned westward to a matchless public domain which he Lelped to develop Into tho world's richest farms and cities. The gov ernment was able to point the way tn a method by which the returned solc'iicr was able to turn his talents for a livelihood, and the government now is laying the ground work to have similar lands available when 'lie great war ends and the millions of American soldiers return to civil life. While the vast domain that await ed the Civil war veteran can not lie triplicated for those who return from the European battle fields, there are millions of acres which can be made Mailable with proper legislation and subsequent development, and which, recording to the present plans, will be offered to tho returning soldier with ample tlms to pay for the cost of development If he desires to ac cept It. Congress will be asked for legis lation to make this land available, according to the present plans of Secretary Lane nnd congressional loaders. Secretary Lane recently an I ounced that It will be the policy of the department of the Interior to ask Inr legislation by which arid lands of the west, cut over lands of the northwest, and swamp lands In the middle west and the south, can be 1'eelnlmed and tho soldier given a p-eforred status In its allotment, lillls arc now before congress on Hint subject, and the plan now Is to weld Into an administration bill a imasuro embracing Secretary Lane's ideas, tho legislation to be patterned Kftor a bill now before the house pu''ic land.: rumi:''.ttie by sentative i :!:h, of Idaho.

It is e-tlnuted that of the cu1 nvr and lo- l-off land there Is ap-p-oxlmately 2J",fi0n1iii:i acres suit ?.b2 for a'-'rle::liural development. brger percentage e f this land Is now In private ownership, and it Is shown that failure to d.'e!op It U due largely to inadequate mi tlieds of ap- ' proach, says Secretary Lane. I'nles.i a new policy of development Is work ed cut In co-opcratlon hetwien the!

Georgia, Tlorida, labama, Missis sippi, Lotiisana and Te::a.. Other than the planning, the development should be by th? returned soldier, according to Secretary Lane's views. ''The dam or the Irrigation project mould be built by him " Mr. Lane say.i. "The canals, the ditches, the breaking of the land and the build in; of the houses, Bhould, under proper direction, he his cecu; r.tlon. lie should be allowed to make his own home, cared for while he Is do ing it. and given an Interest In the land for which he can pay tlirocgl; a If ng period of years, perhaps 30 or 4 0 years. ' So that the soldier on his return v. ould have an opportunity to make a home for himself, to build a home with the money which we would nd. vanca and which he would repay, and for payment wo would havo an nbun dant security." The Story of a Chocolate Cream Is It a Food or is it a Non-Esscn.ial Luxury? It depends entirely on what Ir In It and what the food valuo of. the contents Is, Iu the first place, what Is a chocolate cream made of? The principal Ingredients aro: Cocoa, milk and sugar, which, mixed, make the chocolate. Milk, sugar und some corn syrup mako up the filling. Every one of these Ingredients Is a food product of highest wortb No one questions their separate food values. We all know that milk, cocoa and sugar, making chocolate, form? a wonderful food. No ono questions the food value of milk. We all know that sugar is an essential food. And when nuts nre added to tho chocolate creams, as Is often done, another splendid food pioduct Is added. Taknn separately, each Is high In food value. Naturally, comhin ed Into a delicious confection, 'hey are equally hUii In food value. All these Ingredients are food products which the human system crnves and demands. That Is why tho active nun, woman and child likes this combination of these food products which wo call "candy." lieeause of the food value of candy, soldiers crave It. The food value of tandy has been forovc established through Ino necessities of this war. The soldier, afte- a hard day's work, needs candy. Hu Ostein naves It. It fills a real want. Shi; ard woi l.pr, losgers, men and women doing all kinds of hi. ivy work, crave candy because It H'ipplles th.? need for somethlni; sweet to supply bodily fuel. Grow ing cliHdrcn require the sugar i;i candy to supply them with carbo hydrates. The clilhlli'h cravlni; for candy hi becoming recognized as the young body's need for fuel -not as tin abnormal appetite Tho tiling is not to d -ny iill randy ;!ive candy raliuially und normally, like yen Ripply any other food. lit normal times the candy Industry uses only S per cent of the sugar used per capita In tills country. Right now this jimount h;is been cut squarely In two. The Candy Manufacturers ol Oregon When this Old llonnet Was New It. W. Dunlap recently submitted tiie following poem which Is of an cient origin, and the author of which is unknown. Can anyone supply It? When this old bonnet va3 new The sun rose every day; n.it now the great earth turns, And the sun stands still, they say. And I'm half !rciln?d to believe That what they say is true; For tho world lies all been wrong side up Since this old bonnet was new. When this old bonnet was new The good man used to rlde On horse back to the meetin' house His good wife by his side. And-'wlien the parson prayed We stood up In the pew, We didn't rise at the flddlia' When this old bonnet was new, When this old bonnet was new And wo all went to school, We used to taste the oil of birch Whene'er we broka a rule; Hut moral suasion governs now Where once the ruler flew, riicy've wiser grown than Solomon, Since this old bonnet was n?w. When this old bonnet was new And we fell on tho floor We didn't think tho bumps would make Our aching heads know more. ft ft now they read your very thoughts The thickest skull right through; Tne're was knowledge, not Phrenolo gists When this. old bonnet was new. When this old bonnet wi's new At thunder, folks grew pale; Hut now they harness the llghtnl lg To carry around tho mail; They didn't tunnel the mountains And bound the towns like you, And make a post route under the s u When this old bonnet was new. When this old bonnet was new They wa nt so mean, you know; They couldn't buy a Jug of rum On raisin' days, or so; The parson thought 'twould help lilm . preach, Hie people thought so, too. They didn't drink it on the sly When this old bonnet was new. When thlj old bonnet was new Tho women had their right: They didn't stump It In the field And challenge men to fight. Tliere were no Woodhulls then to frame The government anew. "You must, you shall let women vote," When this old bonnet was new. When this old bonnet was new Th. gals cculd spin nnd weave, And make their frocks and aprons, too, Like our old Mother Eve; nd they could icrui) nnd wash tha floor, And Iron, and bake, and brew, T'ley didn't wear false frizzes When this old bonnet was new. The Germans are against the ex change of prisoners, presumably on tin- ground that it would he embar lasslng to have an official statement of how many Gcrmnn3 equal ono. American.
