RAINBOW DIVISION ACTIVE

Sales
Famous Fighting Division at
Front February to November;
Longs for Home.
Hlkfntr through parts of 'France and
on through Belgium into Luxemburs
with the .army of occupation; has been
the lot of Private Wilbur Thacker, who
has been in service with the 117th rep'
ment. TJ. S. eneineers. He writes hi3
mother, Mrs. G. W. Thacker, of Bux
ton, Or., from Luxemburg as follows :
We thought the French people treat
el ua five but wh n wi.came through
Belgjum I never was better treated any
where In my life. When we stopped
towns at night they took us into thir
homes and gave us everything good to
eat. The people in Luxemburg seem
to be rather nice, but they speak (Jer
ma'H. We had started to the German
border to do guard duty, but we have
been here five days. We heard we were
going back to France and another divi
sion 'would take our place. Maybe you
think there wasn't a happy bunch when
they heard the war was ended. I think
the first division over here will be the
first to be sent home. The 42d division
(Rainbow) has done its part and was
on the front from February until the
fighting ceased.
"I got one of those long, slim bayo
nets run through my leg just below the
knee' writes Donald I 'age; nephew of
Miss Grace E. Page of The Dalles, who
has been in Northern Russia, where as
a member of the band on Dewey's old
flagship Olympla he was in a Bkirmish
with the Bolshevikl at Archangel. He
writes further that they took him out
of the hospital sooner than he really
should have been discharged, because
he was so greatly needed in the baud,
and adds: "You see, they figured the
band could do more good ashore play
ing than the others could do by fighting,
end I think we did qiflte a little tn get
ting Archangel to put out the Bolshe
vik! and live Jike civilized people. The
band was mentioned by General Poole,
the English general, and the king sent
a note of thanks mentioning the work
done -by the fine bank of the U. S. S.
cruiser Olympia while in Russia."

Among the 68 men who received en
plgns' commission at tha naval train
ing station at Seattle were a number of
Oregon boys, the boys from Portland
including S. M. Davis, E. V. Martin, W.

of A. F. Flegal, Julius L. Meier, W. F.
Prler, Drake C. O'Reilly and A. G.

make a "labor survey." The commit
tee also decided to call upon the legis

utes. Get from your druggist 24 ounces of
Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle- and
fill the bottle with syrup, using either
nlatn arranulated stisrar Rvrnn. clArlfipd

. desired. The result is a full pint of
really better cough syrup than you
could buy ready made for three times
the moijiey. Tastes pleasant and never

This Pine and Byrup preparation gets
; right at the-cause of a cough asnd gives
almost Immediate relief. It loosens the
phlegm.- stops the .nasty throat tickle
and neals the sore, irritated membranes
so gently and easily that it is really as

Chester i. Seely
Hopes that some mistake might have
been made in announcing the death of
Chester J. Seely by the war department
have practically been given up by friends
of the" young man.
Seely was reported in dispatches from
Washington as having been wounded on
September 27. Later dispatches an
nounced his death on September 30. A
dispatch was also received by his family
stating that he had died on September
13. Because of these conflicting reports
hope has been maintained that there
was some mistake. But as no word has
been received from the young man for
some time, his friends believe the re
port announcing his death on Septem
ber 30 is true.
Seely left Portland last July for Camp
Lewis and after but a short period of
training was sent east and thence to
France, arriving there the latter part
of August.
Before entering the army last sum
mer, Seely was employed by the North
west Steel company and previous to
that attended the Jefferson high school.
Chester J. Seely was 23 years of age
and uveas the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Seely, 143 West Liberty street.
Casualty List Gives
Mother News of the
Death of Her Son
The official casualty list announce
ment of the death of Rexford E. Barto,
killed in action," was the first intima
tion that his mother, Mrs. Myrtle Barto,
685 Tacoma street, had of his death.
The last letter received from Barto
was dated September 22 and mentioned
that his unit, the Thirty-eighth infan
try of the Third division, would prob
ably move into action soon.
Rexford Barto was employed In the
woolen mills at Oregon City for a num
ber of years. He served In the National
Guard also for a time. He was in Michi
gan last spring, where he enlisted in the
army. He was stationed first at Camp
Custer and July 11, 1918, sailed for
France.
Mrs. Barto is seeking confirmation of
tho report from Washington.
Boy's Foot Crushed
Under Streetcar
.While attempting to board a moving
St. Johns car at the Portsmouth station
about 3 :40 p. m. Monday, Gelmer Max
well, 12 years of age, fell beneath the
wheels and suffered a badly crushed
foot. He was removed to the Good Sa
maritan hospital, where it was found
that amputation of the foot may be
necessary. The boy. who lived with his
parents at 1716 Gloucester street, was
on his way to the city, and ran to
catch the car which had just started.
His hand slipped as he grabbed the
handhold. The car was quickly stspped
and the injured boy carried to a nearby
drug store and thence to the hospital.
Plea in Behalf of
French Orphan Made
"Three Fingered Jack" Godwin, who
makes a business of Inducing I. W. W.
to surrender their red cards, and Miss
Brenda Francklyn of the International
committee for the fatherless children
of France, were the speakers before
the members' forum of the Chamber of
Commerce Monday afternoon. Miss
Francklyn besought of Portland busi
ness men their financial support in car
ing for the little children in the oc
cupied sections of France, whose fath
ers were killed during the great war.
Charles F. Berg, chairman of the
forum, presided.
