The Taclfic International league baseball will be a weekly feature of camp athletic life, it was announced today. Games will be played Satur days, Sundays and Wednesdays with league teams and other teams of the northwest and a small admission charge will be made to pay necessary expenses and keep up the equipment for the Camp Lewis team. The team will be "called the Camp Lewis teai rather than the 91st division team, because several o fthe players are members of organizations not a part of the 91.t division but who are sta tioned at camp. Twilight games will be played later in the season, the games starting at 6 o'clock. The daylight saving law makes this easily accomplished. IF YOUR EARS BINO WITH HEAD NOISES .

Halvorsen of Salem, who is head of the supply aid maintenance division of motor transportation for the whole of France. Halvorsen enlisted for Y. M. C. A. work and his ability as a motor expett landed the important position almost as soon as he arrived overseas. He has been under shell fire and gas attack and writes as if he enjoyed It all. Halvorsen has wide authority aad has had the ex perience of assigning several men of wealth and distinction to ordinary positions. In a letter to O. n. Glnrrlcb. Hal vorsen expresses hi admiration for the American soldier, who, he thinks, will giro a great account of himself as soon aa he Is riven an oppor tunity. He writes aa follows:' "Am ashamed , to think that I haven't written yon before but know that yon will forgive me. Ton have likely heard from Watson and Elvln and they, I sm sure, have told you of my work h;re so you will know that I am a pretty busy per son, to say the least. We got along fine In New York city . and were surely treated fine. Helped in the office, there all we could so got quite an rnsignt or tne working or tne war council. Were assigned to good places here by them, better than we had expected, then, after a rather roiuh and strenuous Journey across the tond landed In England and were received very kindly there and had a chance to visit a good many places of note, all very Interesting to ns westerners. "Wo'ildn't want to trade any good Oregon property for any we saw in England, though, at that. They are too mapjr ver behind the times to suit me. After staying In Eng land several days we crossed the rhannet and arrived at our destina tion so'newhere in France, finding conditions very much better in every wav here than we had expected, es pecially much better than in Eng land. Got our first square meal the dav we landed In France that we had since on ahlp board, so yon will understand what I mean. . "Found this part of tne worm quite to our liking and our first ira nrtKalon was better than we had ex netted It to be. The climate here Is much like our own except in the mountains where of course It Is much colder and find It quite a hsrdship o our toys to have to live In these muddy quarters, but they are soldiers of the hlhest degree and near out Mttle complaining.' All are striving o do their part and do It Never saw a better hunch of fellows nvwbere and OM William will know they are here before very long.

Eight monthr ngo the' started In with twenty-three office rooms and have grown until now we are uslne 120 offices and rtlll crowded for room for It sorely takes a large organization to handle U thhat Is required of us to keer hlnaa aolnc In a business way. Yon ean feel assured that the money glv en to the Y. M. C. A. Is carefully handled and Is doing the very best kind of service to our boys that is oosslble under existing conditions. Don't k.tow what one soldier laddies would do If It were not for the Y. M C. A. and all have a good. word and cheer for the work. They consider that we are part of the regular array here for we wear the regular army Mothe and are under array regula tione. "Our rommander-ln-chlcf. Mr. Carter..

When your shoes press against your corn It pnshes Its sharp roots down upon ' a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely make them grow, just step Into any drug store and ask for a nuarter of an ounce of freexone. This will cost very little but Is suffi cient to remove etery hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, acplng corn stops the soreness In stantly, and soon the. corn shrivels up so it lift right out. mot and all. without pain.

Of Course You Are Buying "Your Clothes Carefully TKis Season No doubt you are as keen as ever in your love for beautiful fabrics, grace ful lines, and smart effects. But you are looking closer to see that the new suit or coat will give plenty cf wear, and that It will be fashionable as long a it is worn. We have paid particular attention fh's year to the selection of garments vcid of freak effect which soon pass out cf vogue.

I am very proud to 'be here and know that I may have at least a part In the great fight for the freedom of the world. It surely Is a great game, this war game, for we have to move our men about like men on a checker board. "Are using now nearly 100 trades and' cars In our service alone and are. getting more all the time and every day some being wrecked or blown up. So it goes.

Never saw a better meltinr pot of men than this. We soon find out whf t a man is made of and if he wealth or distinction donU jeonat iver here. As soon as a fellow gets in the uniform and Is assigned to a tepartment he looks -Juat like any tther person and is expected to do his part like a man. I have had the Pleasure of asslrfilnx men of great wealth and dlatinclton to Just ordi nary positions, and In most cases ther have made good. Some we have to send back.
