I was there just ttr spend one evening, and 1 met many Oregon boys. One of the boys I saw was Corporal Sam L. Chernls, who worked at the Bushong Printing company prior to enltBting. Jim Bowler of Pendleton vyis in his tent with a bunch of other westerners when I visited his 'camp. They were expect ing to leave their quarters for an Inland post. I have met George Demke of Van couver, W. C. Gardner, who lives In Ro.e City Park, and David Thompson of Mizpah church, who is greatly de voted to his work of visiting the sick in the hospitals. a One of the things that never ceases to astonish me is the versatility of the American soldier. They have started a little paper called The Splker, of which T. W. Palmer is editor. I have been put into the harness on account of my newspaper training. The boys have been asked to contribute short news items or observations. Here is a short item written by Private Jack Burroughs, What "Private" Burroughs was in civil life I do not know, but I know he can Frite. Here is his contribution : A breeze came into belna a aleha are born. Potent wan it. an the breath of life, as the creative sigh of those who love and dream and build Gently it whispered Its way orer the surface of the smooth sea to conjoin with other ele mental ; forces. And out 6f the blue depths I saw a ware slope rinward Lifted from the wastes by a power not iu own. it roe' to its fulfilment, flung wide Its white arma toward heaven, and sank back again into formlenf.. That ware waa my life. Here is another contribution from one of the soldier boys in the American field ambulance. His poem is entitled "Hunka Tin." and It is after Kipling quite a bit in the rear, yet mighty clever. Here it Is : You may talk about your vultures When you're sitting around your quarters. But when it comes to getting blesses in. Tske a little tip from me: T.et those heary motors be. Pin your faith to Henry Ford's old HL'NKA TIN. RWe her easenre and l'ean. Prank her rrp and let her go That back-firin' spark-plug-foulin' HL'NKA TIN. The paint Is not so good. And no doubt you'll find the hood Will rattle like a boiler-fhop en roule. . The cooler's sure to boil. And perhaps she's leaking oil. And ofttimes the horn declines to toot. But when the night is black. And there's wounded to take back. And they hardly give yorf time to take a smoke. It's mighty good to feel, when you're sitting at the wheel. You'll be running when the bigger cars are broke. After all the wars are pat. And we're taken home at last. To our reward of which the preacher sings. When those ukulele sharps Will be strumming golden harps. And the aviators ail have rrg lar wings. When the kaiser is in hell. With the furnace drawing well. Paying for his million different kinds of sin. If they're running short of coal. Show me how to reach the tioie. And I'll cast a few loads down with HUNKA TIN.

HI . . . . . oiiumiess oi Dream is a common symptom. It generally aooears on slight exertion, and may be one of the earliest indications that something is wrong with thg heart. Palpitation is often induced by gas accumulations from overeating, or other digestive disturb ances. A deranged heart, in turn, may unfavorably affect the digestion. One cannot fail to be impressed with the frequency with which coffee, tea, at alcohol and tobacco are mentioned as se rious enemies to the best health ot the heart. Lack of proper exercise is also a factor In reducing the muscular ef ficiency of the heart. In toning up the heart muscle, like the development of any other muscle, graded exercise under a physician's guidance is desirable, in fections which find a focus ln some part of the body and send out germs Into the blood stream often seriously Injure the heart.

Dawrenee ot Aberdeen iav at the MiUtaomahv--; In the Civil war days sentiment In Oregon, as elsewhere, was divided, and hard feelings rankled on all sides. Fami lies were' rent with political animosities, and the best of friends parted. An Inci dent illustrates the temper of the times: John Weaver and a party of friends In 1862 started for the mines In Eastern Oregon. ; Weaver was a Breckenridgs Democrat, as were his friends. On the way they always tried to stop over night at the houses of men politically friendly to them. One night, in Polk county, they arrived at the cabin of Have Goff. Weaver requested board and lodging for the night. He was questioned as to his political beliefs. "Well." he said, "we all been in hyeah pahts about 15 ye'ahs. but we come front Missouri an' you know what that means." Goff took them ln and put them up for the night. In the morning they of fered to pay for their lodging. Goff would accept nothing. "No, strangers," he declared, I wouldn't accept any pay from you, be cause you all are on the right side. But If it was that dodgasted son-in-law of mine, you can bet your last dollar I'd make him pay." The "dodgasted son-in-law" was James W.
