FATHER AT FRONT;
Major's Daughter Wants Work
on Oregon Ranch; Brother
Killed in France.
A prominent Oregon girl, whose father
is a major in the American expedition
ary forces, and whose brother was killed
by accident in France one month ago,
is seeking employment as a general farm
hand.
Her application has been placed on
file at the municipal employment bureau,
247 Davis- street! She- states that her-Ap
desire. Is not a new fad, bat that lot a
number of ' years she ' has, taken farm
courses at the Oregon Agricultural col
lef,:." ...i
The young woman who requested that
hen name be withheld, says she has
taken a two years" course in general
agriculture at O. A. C. ; has had
one summer's experience in general
farm work ; has had experience in gar
dening including hot-house forcing of
vegetables ; and has also taken a course
In horticulture Including the proper
methods pf packing, handling and grad
ing fruits.
Knews Farm Work
She writes that she understands gen
eral farm machinery, can operate a
tractor, although she does not claim to
be able to repair one. She can also op
erate gas engines and understands
dairy work, including butter making j
and testing. In addition, she has had 1
practical experience in poultry raising.
"I am a strong, healthy girl, willing
to work hard," she writes. "I plan to
go to Ames next year and must have
some more general farm experience be
fore I am entitled to a degree In agri
culture. "If you know of any farmer who Is
willing to bury his prejudice against
Irl working on a farm and is willing
strong, expects to work hard and make
good, I will appreciate a chance."
Eager to Help Win War
The young woman says that she de
sires to secure work on a farm, not
only as a means of completing her study
of agriculture and because she has
chosen farming as her life pursuit but,
with her brother killed only a month
ago and her father on the lines in
France, she feels she should do every-
thing in her power to "help behind the
lines.

State One of Three Which Has!
Already Supplied Men for 1
Military Demands.
Because Oregon has already been '
called upon to furnish a large part of '
her second gross draft quota to fill spe- ;
cial demands of the military service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder ha .
designated this state as one of three in :
the United States from which men win i
not be drawn during May.
This Is the Information sent out by j
the war department In connection with
the call issued Friday for more than
IS
000 men to report for duty in the
present month. Captain J. E. Culllson,
in charge of Oregon selective service.
cannot comment upon Oregon's exemp
tion pending Instructions from the de-'
partment. but Washington advicea say
this state has been credited with the
number of men sent out under the sec
ond gross quota call within the past
few weeks.
Whether the war department contem
plates recognition of volunteer enlist
ments on the second quota is not known
here, although it Is admitted that Ore
gon. Nevada and California are the only
three states In the nation to have fur
nished enough men to eliminate them
from the current demands of the service.
