waa on our boat. I will try and send a

moke for a curiosity. The tobacco is

Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Whitney of Garden

hers and gives them a great variety of
entertainment and all kmds of athletics,
We had a 'Chink' band with tin pans,
"We are heavy artillery and will be
back quite aways, so don't worry. Waa
out watching the French firing. They
are hard on the ears and eyes up close,
The French people have treated us fine
here. Ouess they are glad to see us In
France. I haven't seen a young man
of military age In civilian clothes since
I landed In this country. The French
women are doing all the work. I saw
one woman pulling a wagon through
the town. They use little burros. There
are hardly any horses as everything is
used by the army. The Americans
ought to be thankful that the war Is
here Instead of there. They simply can't
realise by merely hearing of it what
.Franc and Belgium have been through,
and are going through. I will be glad
wnen tne war is over and I can get
oacK -to civilian life and take up my
Interests there agaip, but I want to
see this thing through right and get . to
the front, -too, A small American paper
printed In Paris gives Us the war news
ana some news of the states."

"Unless aviation training stations are
established in the Northwest I do not look
for aerial postal service between camps
and cities in Oregon and Washington,"
said Postmaster Frank S. Myers of the
Portland office. "Numerous aviation
camps in California and the Southwest
will afford many machines nd flyers,
and cadets will .receive training tor war
duty while delivering mall'. Congres
sional appropriations are needed before
air mail service Is to De expected in the
Northwest."
Neither will mail service between
California and Northwestern camps and
cities be practicable until aviation
camps are established in the northern
states, according to Mr. Myers. '

The Charm of the Grand
Piano Never Lessens
The satisfaction, the joy in possession of a
beautiful small Grand Piano never grows old.
There is the added incentive to study and prac
tice, the comfort of a more perfect action than
is possible in the upright and never ending hap
piness in the more "splendid tone and beauty of
appearance, not to mention the air of distinction
which the Grand Piano adds to any home.
We show in dainty small ?Grands:
The Milton Tiny Grand $535
The Harrington Little Grand . . $625
v. -
Two of the most attractive, most deserving small :
Grands yet produced. Either will delight your ;
musical ear and your critical eye. Both possess
an abundance of those qualities which make the
Grand necessary to the real musician, and both
are exceedingly modest in price and terms.
