P0RTUND,0tGON- For Sale By Conkcy & I Walker ti ' r Co-operative marketing of eggs and poultry, backed by the state and the national governments, was the policy outlined by the Oregon Poultry Pro ducers' Association at its. second an nual meeting at Corvallis. A board of 10 directors was appointed to make investigations and recommenda tiona looking to these ends. "Practically all members were in favor of marketing co-operatively if a sound business organization can be formed." says C. S. Brewster, secre tary. "They revised the constitution and appointed a board of practical coultrymen to take all necessary .n. in lirino- it about."

SAM AND FRED MUHELMAN WRITE PARENTS THAT THEY ARE ENJOYING ARMY LIFE IN GERMANY. The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. S. Muhleman from their son who is with the colors in Germany: . Ochtendung, Germany, Jan. 5. Dear Mother and All: I will write you a few lines to let you know that I am well and hope you are all the same. Today I received your Xmas package you sent me. I wasn't expecting any, aa I did not send mv coupon home.but it sure look- !ed good to me. It was sure a fine assortment such as we can t buy over here; the powder and soup was just what I needed and I was also just out of handkerchiefs and they come in iust fine. This is Monday morning and I get a half day off, as I was on guard yes terday. I don't know much news, so can't write much. We have been lo cated here for some time now; don't know when we will move or which way we will go. It wiU either be to wards Berlin or towards home. I think we will be back before many months. Last night about seven or men out of our company came back. They had been captured by the Germans the last time we were at the front. They say they were treat ed pertty well, some times they didn't get much. to eat, but they were only in the German prison camp 20 days -and have been traveling ever thev trot out trying to nnd us. They were sure tickled boys when they came in last night. Welt mother, the weather keeps on all right. We have had a little snow BnA it ruins a little most every aay, but they are mostly small showers, and it keeps pretty warm, so we are having it pretty good. As ever your son, . SAM MUHLEMAN, shack to stay in, so it suits t.e ell right. I rfot the letter you nmued Novem ber 2nd tn the 29th of Novemi cr.The rviuil uovmu to he makini? a litle faster time lately. Well I guess' the boaU don't have to ziz-zag and dodge subs any more. I am sure glad they don't because we were 13 days coming across and ; that's a little longer, than I want to be at sea, when we oir.e home. Well I finally got to go to Germ.u y It wasn't exactly in Germany, but the Germans have occupied it for sev eral years "Metz, is the name of the placed guess you know where it is. Maybe you have been there. Its sure a nice town. : The people t il talk German there, so I got along pretty good. My but when the peo- nle there see an American soldior, they all flock" around us and wan't to talk.' We weren't there very long but long enough to see the city. Vill tell you more when I get home. I don't know whether I told yon that our company made up an orphans fund or not. Well the twenty-five of us made up' 500f for the French orphans. I gave 20f and I don't think I'll ever regret it either.. It still looks as if we might be moving toward home before long, but we can never tell. It'll be just like it was when we cime over we'll ne ver know where we are going until we get there, so you don't want -to look for me. until you see me coming Would like to send you all a Xmas present, but I was broke when I was in Metz and I don't know whether 111 appended by eye dropping at the drug store that she is most empha tically possessed of the opinion that the members of the legislature are playing a game known as 'locking the door after the horse is taken out to pasture and got away from tho taker." Now Pansy talks in parables or pyramids we don't know wich, but she means that the liquor is about all irone. Uncle Sam hez put put the li- Iquor makers out of business, boot leggers are all in jail, so wats tne use ? "Wot's the use," roars Old High Gear, "Wot's the use, I demand.Let the echo answer. The lawmakers might just as well be givin their time and talents-o makin laws which ef fect the use-to-be-liquor business as anything else. They hev got to be doin somethin you Inow." And that ended debate, the checker game was resumed, Doc got busy wipm up his glasses and everyone go down to ah even tenor for the evening. X f X get to go to another town or not for awhile, but will be sure and bring you some kind of a souvenir when I come. Well it's bed time now, so I'll close Wishing you all a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. This leaves me feeling fat and sausy and hoping you are all the same. Your son, FRED. DEBATE BRINGS OUT FACTS. Montague Woods near St. Michiel, France, December 3, 1918. T)ar Mother and All: Well I'm still in the same old place Have been here for a whole month. That's sure a long time to stay in one place over here. Well we've got plenty of blankets and a good warm G. FOR THE SPRING "SEWING", EH? 4 C" , ' wakt to cer ifTooR "Shipments 1 -vw Sows wk g cf -W set To &: By Mrs. Squash, Society Editor for Pumphill Hill News. Business at the drug store was interrupted one day last week when High Gear Hank brought up the subject to , passin laws that eventual ly will mean that the drug store must close out the stock of wet goods wich Doc Pimples uses to manu f actur his f amous line of mixed drinks are known far and wide and have be come a Dermanent necessity to the welfare of the community and to the existence of the drug store. But High Gear Hank says that a bill has been proposed in the Oregon legislature wich will cut this line of business off at the pockets and Hank is nurtv well posted, though of late years he hez so much trouble with his old Ford he hez neglected mucn of the doins of the day. . . This bill makes it possible for the town board to pass laws that will na turally stop dispensing to say nothin of drinking. Hollerin Bill, our afficient aust, and all-round genial citizen, sezs it haint goin to hurt1 business at all, for he predicts that if the mixed drinks caint he had something else will have to be pervided to take their place, as the American people are bound to sunnlv the hankerings of their sto machs, . No one knows but this same appetite may lead many a man on the right way of living, say on the 50-50 basis just to be charitable. Doc Pimples says his mixtures hev never hurt nobody, and as far as he is concerned he wants a vacation any way and is glad to see some new fangled idea sprung so he kin shut up shop. Course, Doc, never was known to give much away, and he always tended to sweepin the floor himself for fear a stray nickle might be found. v Bu,t this Oregon legislature is at tractin attention far and wide, and even the fairer sex hev fallen and are given the doins much attention. At the last meetin of ;the Plenty Talk Society the Well known lady member of the House of Representatives was the topic of conversation and Mrs. Thompson was elected an honorary member to the society with all dues paid as long as she keeps up her pre sent working record. New Pansy Strawberry our reporteress was there as he is to all doins of note and was takin down all the main points.Pnasy says that from what she gained at the meetin and from what she has since THE HIGH SCHOOL. We are again working hard after our long vacation. Miss Florence Hartman is on the sick list with a bad cold this week. ' Our English teacher, Miss Granger, rpsiVned this week and returned to her hfTfne in Iowa, in order to be with some of her people who are sick. 1 he students regret very much to lose ner as a teacher. , Principal Collins announced that it was the plan of the school to com plete the two semesters work this year, even though we have lost con siderable time. He stated that this would make it necessary for harder work, longer lessons, and closer ap plication. We are Jrymg to carry out the plan, but it makes it a little hard on some of us. The American history and civil government class visited the Oregon legislature at Salem Wednesday.They wpre verv erlad of this opportunity of getting an objest lesson in civics. The class was chaperoned by Mrs. Skin ner. They all got back again. A Hizh School orchestra has Deen organized, with Mrs. Chase as direc tor. They met last Tuesday evening anH will meet again next rnday ai- ternoon. Judging from the way it started off, the prospects for a gooa orchestra are very promising.
