A PARABLE.
The soldier threaded his weary way back to
the colonel's dugout. He had been in half a doz
en skirmishes with the enemy in as many weeks.
He was still intact but scratched and wearied
from crawling through barbed wire and in and
out of shell craters.
He entered the dugout and saluted with click
of heels and hand to cap.
"Colonel," he said, "I think I will have to quit.
The battles are getting to be so many. It's rath
er to much of a good thing. I have given about
all I can of time and strength and blood to this
war. I am going home."
No ; the incident didn't happen. But why
shouldn't it? There are lots of civilians here at
home turning down such appeals as the Red
Cross and the Liberty Loans because "the calls
are so many." Exchange.

Before the Commercial club will
give Its approval to the -proposition
for refunding outstanding city war
rants It wants a statement from the
ways and means committee of the
city council as to hdw It proposes to
bring the city through the year with
tho tax revenue now in slight. A de
cision to this effect was reached at
today's meeting, following a long dis
cussion of the ulty's existing situa
tion, and the wuys and means com
mittee was requested to bring such
a statement before the next meeting
of the club.
Tho discussion was precipitated by
a statement made by Floyd Dement
that he felt himself not fully In sym
pathy with the refunding plan, and
that from such Investigation as he
had mado ho felt that the bond Issue
would not carry unless the people
could bo satisfied that the cHy this
year would live within Its income.
Speakers following Mr. Dement made
the same report saying that it was
I doubtful if more money would be
voted until an opportunity had been
given to solect new city officials.
II. A. Miller was appointed a mem
ber of the committee to cooperate
with tho council in place of C. S. Hud
son, whose unwillingness to serve bo

failTTgrant
mail petition
BKNI CANNOT HAVE DELIVERY
MY CARRIERS UNTIL TRAJN
SCHEDULES ARE CHANGED
PRESENT SYSTEM ADEQUATE.
City delivery is not for Bend this
year, says a letter Postmaster Ford
received this morning from J. C.
Koons. assistant postmaster general
at Washington. He gives as his
reason the train schedules, which
make It so that the mall as it comes
in now reanhes the residents as quick
ly as it would -by delivery to the
homes.
Late last year Inspector C. W.
Llnebaugh was here marking off
routes and preparing a report on the
conditions favorable to Installing the
service. At the time he stated that
be was quite certain ki could be bad
when the new postoffice is opened.
Following Is the letter which gave
the decision:
"The report of the inspector who
recently made an Investigation at
your office to determine the feasibil
ity of establishing city delivery ser
vice has been received and carefully
considered.
Clinnge Impracticable.
"It is noted that but two mails are
received from or dispatched to rail
roads at your office; that mails ar
rive at 7:35 p. m., and 7:20 a. m.,
and depart at 8:00 p. m., and 7:35
a. m.; and that the heaviest mail of
the day 4s received and dispatched in
the evening. Because of these con
ditions, It is evident that it Is Im
practicable to make more than one
delivery daily In either the business
or the residential district. There
fore, the Department is of the opinion
that under the present railroad
schedules, the delivery of mail by
dity letter carriers will not accord
the patrons of your office any better
mail service than they are now re
ceiving. Therefore, the establish
ment of city delivery service will not
be authorized until such time as the
train schedules are so arranged as
to enable you to arrange the carriers'
schedules tu provide for more than
one delivery a day, and result In im
proving the present mail service at
Bend."

DISAPPEARED JAN. 4
Alex Gu.stovson, In Doubt As to How
He Should Fill In His Question
naire, Believed to Have
Taken Own Life.
Because he was afraid to till out
his questionnaire, it is believed that
Alex Gustovson, an employe of the
Brooks-Scanlon mill, took his own
life on January 4. His body was dis
covered in a small ravine on the
homestead of Ole Erickson, one
fourth of a mile northeast of tha
brickyard late yesterday, when Mr.,,
Erickson was engaged In cutting
wood.
Coming upon a light colored over
coat hanging on a fallen tree over a
ledge, 'the homesteader investigated
and discovered the body lying at the
foot of the ledge, which is about -Z
feet high. It was in a frozen state
and this is probably responsible tor
It being so well preserved. Soma
small animal had gnawed the wrists,
but otherwise only bruises and what
appears to be a bullet wound were
found. Erickson, badly frightened,
notified the sheriff and an Investiga
tion was immediately put under way.
It was learned that Gustovson had
received his questionnaire from tha.
local ooara ai cmmeti, lciano, nut
former home, on the morning of Jan
uary 4. He told his landlady that he
was going to call on the war board
and iget assistance in filling it out
and probably would not be hack in
time for lunch. This was the last
anyone saw of him until the body
was brought to light yesterday.
Search Previously Made.
Friends had searched for him as
far as Cline Falls and reported his
disappearance to Sheriff Roberts.
Later they informed him that a card
