Wood sustained a bad fall, due to a defective sidewalk, Sunday afternoon on Franklin street below the second bridge. She was severely bruised about the nose and eyes. Not having an aeroplane handy, Walter Webb walked in from the Umatilla river Sunday to visit his family. After negotiating fourteen miles in this manner, he learned how to symiwtize with a marching doughboy. Ole Westfall has gone to Port land, where he expects to engage in whatever industry that indicates a sufficient desire to enlist his ser vices. We commend Ole to the good graces of metropolitan cap tains of industry. W. S. Price was fortunate enough to get his bean crop harvested be fore the recent rains.

To The Public: The Central ('ommittee of the Umatilla County Patriotic Service League 'feels that it has turaaion and ample warrant for presenting to the public the name of lligby Harris of Milton as one who has eoiiHistently and flugrantly failed in the suiMit t of his government at war. It believes that the word "slacker" was coined for just such men as he. Mr. Harris has lived in Umatila county many years and bus grown wealthy hen1. He is generally riifir Ford car went credited with U'ltig the wealthiest Thorn Hollow, resulting ciliir.cn of the enit end of the county. He is paying taxes under his own name on real property aMSCKftcd at $75,000 and eraonal proKrty ai'sessed at $10,000. A very conservative estimate of his wealth by men in nwititm to judge places it at 17.1.0(10. Mr. Harris did not subscribe to the First or Second IJberty Ioun. In the Third Imn, when an organi sation for rounding up delinquents was created, he subscribed $2500. That was the amount of his sub scription to the Fourth Imii also. He refused to subscribe for his rat ing of $4000. He was notified to spHsr lieforc this committee and make such explanation as he deem ed might justify his refusal. He Ignored the notice and the commit tee feels that it should hesitate no longer In exposing him to the ctitienship of the county for the shirker that he is. In thc Second Red Cross War Fund campaign Mr. Harris refused to contrbute a dollar and wo have no record of his ever having made donation to a war fund. On the other hand we have received in numerable reports to the effect that he has thousands of dollars on deposit and has openly stated that he intends holding his money until after the war so that he will be in a position to buy land when values shrink. We feel that Mr. Harris is in a position to stimulate his neighbors in patriotic undertakings and yet thc committee believes that there is no one man in Umatilla county whose example has been the cause of to much dirsatisfactlon. We hope there are few citizens in America who have given such nig- vice Sales (Vi. and has Icaxcd from Man ager Nelson the shop of the Wes ton Auto Co., of which he will have sole charge.

The next meeting of the guild will be held at the home of Mrs. L. I. O'Harra on thb first Thurs day afternoon in November. patriotism. To Mr. Harris ami the county the committee wishes to announce that it has not had its final say. Besides Mr. Harris the commit tee had summoned for hearing Mr. John II. Peters of Pendleton, Mr. Frank Hilbcrt of Ukiah and Mr. L. C. Rothroek of Pendleton. It is glad to announce that Mr. Peters has agreed to subscribe his full quota of $4000 and that Mr. Hil bcrt has authorized his banker to bring his subscription up to $4000, his quota. Mr. Rothroek left for California before he received his notice to appear before the commit tee and will be granted a little more time to make his explanations if he so desires.
