MILLION men, of America's bcsl, on the Fields ol
France, fields drenched and hallowed with the
blood of heroes, hooded and cloaked with the
robes of a righteous cause, the khaki-clad millions
of America; Pershing's Crusaders, are sweeping on
to meet the foe and wrest world's freedom from the
shambles of a mad man's orgy.
Pershing's Crusaders is the first of the official United States government

done, is doing, and will do, to make the world safe for' democracy. You will
follow the flag through our efficient training camps, great cantonments, mam

then through London, then Paris, and lastly, travel with "Black Jack" Persh
ing and his fighting sons of these United States of America, on the very rim
of that belching hell that faces No Man's Land.
This official government war film was photographed by the U. S. Signal
Corps, Navy Department, and French General Staff, and is presented here

Prosperous Wallowa Valley
Lostlne, Ore., Sept. 7.
Editor Tidings: The beautiful
valley of the Wallowa has undergone
very many changes Blnco last I saw
it, 27 years ago. There were only
a few settlers In the valley then;
as the Xesporsl Indians controlled
this section up to two or threo years
previous to that time. Improved
farms could be bought from $5 to
V0 per acre. .Now under high cul
tivation with an abundance of water
for irrigation, lands sell from $100
to $150 per acre, as Immense crops
enn lie raised.
One can see the threshing ma
chines and coblnes In many ficld3
vlth the sacks of grain piled high
and the wonderful lot of alfalfa hay
they raise since they have all tho
water needed for crops of all sorts.
AH over the valley, east, west, north
tnd south, everywhere attest to
the prosperity and wealth of the pen-
I.ie by tho. many large beautiful barns
kept as neat and well painted as tho
houses, full of hay with Immense
stacks and ricks In the fields. What
has made such wonderful changes in
this viVley? One word tells the
Lecret water!
Lest an unusual dry season comes
they have built a dam nt the head
of the river near the Wallowa lake
In the upper valley at a cost of. ap-
i 1
proximately $60,000 that will raise
the water of the lake 24 feet. Tho
lake Is 1 miles by five. That Is
an Immense reserve they have.
IIUIs and mountainsides now are
growing wheat and alfalfa beside
pasture .for the many herds of cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs all fat and
sleek. It looks good to me and when
I see our own Rogue River valley
(tarvlng for the water that Is wasted
and which would luring many thous
ands of dollars yearly, it seems a
crime. No greater need could be
done the valley than to conselrve
Its waters."

The scenery of this valley is very
grand with its water falls and snow
capped mountains, but our own
Rogue River valley has the scenery
r.nd soil (with water) and the best
all around climate in the great west.
Why should we not awake to our
needs and see the whole valley blos
tom as the rose? Then our valley
rould fill with prosperous farmers
and they are the strength and back
bone of all other businesses.
MRS. L. B. READER.
Crushed and bleeding in the ruin of its homes, its hospitals,
its schools and churches, Belgium has nevertheless been not the
weakest of the allied enemies of Berlin. Its sufferings have
united all humanity in its cry for redress, and its indomitable
ipirit has roused the emulation of all its champions.
German "honor", killed by its revelation that it regarded a
sacred treaty as a "scrap of paper", has been buried beneath tha
bloodied ruins of a neutral nation's shrines.
When the boots of the German superbeast welter in German
blood behind the Rhine, the Kaiser's dupes may finally emerge
from the self-hypnosis which made them think themselves "super

FIREARMS ARE NOT FRAGILE
Shotgun Properly Cared For Is Said to
Be Good for a Hundred
Thousand Shots.
A question frequently asked Is, "now
long will my shotgun last?" or "How
many shots enn I fire from my rifle or
revolver before it wears out?"
It Is Impossible for nnvnno tn aav
Just how long a Ilrenrm will Inst, be
cause It is impossible to tell before
hand what kind of care it Is going to
kU """ ie care It receives makes all
the difference between a few hundred
shots and a lifetime of faithful service.
Assuming that they are cleaned enre
fully and consistently a good shotgun
will show practically no fulling olt In
pattern or penetration for probably
well vor 100,000 shots. A 22-caliber
riflo and a revolver are both good for
30,000 or 40,000 shots. A high-power
rnio Is good for about 3,000 to 5,000
Hhots, usually the higher the velocity
the shorter the life of the burrel.
Judging from these fucts It would
nppour that tho higher tho pressure
developed hy th0 explosion the more
wear on tho barrel, for tho shotgun de
velops tho least pressure und the high
power rlllo tho most.
A rather Interesting sidelight on this
Question of barrel life Is n determina
tion of tho actual length of time to
