Telegram to the Kaiser from the Crown Prince, at the begin ning of the war: "(¡lory to (¡o<i, my dearest dad! A scrumptious scrap we sure have had. A million allies sent below. And I’ m the boy who made them K °.” One of our local boys, Sam Barr, is proving himself at Camp Lewis, a master of his trade. Recently one of the Colonels com plained that he could not get a bit that would hold his horse when rearing. The officer to whom he was speaking, replied: 4‘I have a boy who can make you one.” Sow ell pleased was the colonel with the bit, that he or dered thirty-six more to be made by Mr. Barr. ALL OUR LINE OF DRV GOODS AND SHOES If we have anything in stock that you are in need of—we can save you money. From same to same, recently: "Aeh Himmel, Donnerwetter’ Blitz! You sure will give me awful fits. Those Yankee doughboys, sons of sin! Are on the run— -b u t towards Berlin!” One of our teetotally dry, pro hibition friends, whose mind runs along dry statistical lines, has figured out from the newspaper publicity given the sheriff’s o f fice of Clackamas County, that not more than 7,584 quarts o f illegal booze have been confis cated by the officials of that de partment within the past twelve months. Now our statistical prohibition ist has asked for complete fig ures, in the terms of gallons, quarts, pints and empties, cover ing the disposition of said booze, so that lie may check up the re ceipts with the disbursements. In other words he wants to know where is that booze now? Or if it has already been destroy ed, where was tne sheriff ’s office press agent about that time? We are sure the News and its readers are vitally interested in this question. Some of us are actuated by the purest and high est of prohibition motives and others may be inore desirous of knowing the w hereabouts of the present cache. We have heard rumors that the nasty stuff is safely cached in the basement of the county court house and we’ ve heard other ru mors too. It seems as though it would he truly appropriate to give further publicity to this county’s rigid enforcement of the prohibition laws and give the county’s of ficials all of the credit that is due them. The columns of the News are open for free publicity on this subject. If the booze has been destroyed when, where and how? If not, when will it be? And furthermore, if not—let's stage a regular W. C. T. U. car nival anti grand closing out, with the bonfires throwing forth an alcoholic incense from the liba L. A. Chapman High School Notes Typewriters have been ordered for t h e commercial students.
