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."
A resolution was unanimously adop
ted petionmg the secretary of agri
culture to include $200,000 in his esti
. ioon tn continue the federal
poultry extension work. Another re
solution petitions tne cniei oi w w.

A petition was addressed to the

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

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

"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

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

me feeling fat and sausy and hoping
you are all the same.

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.
