Weather tomorrow: Fair. 4 A WORTHY CAUSE -: A worthier cause could not be de vised than that la which SO or more of the leadiog women 'of tola city will engage tomorrow. They are asking In the name of real helpful Bess, In the name of patriotism, in the name of the stay-at-home doing a little for-the-man-that-haa-gon-to-the-front, that Josephine county may do her full share in another laudsble nation-wide war-time service. Very little Is asked because a very ' little will serve the purpose desired. But the importance of that little Is easily under-estimated. In the pop ular mind a library has no part in war making. But those who come home from the front and know whereof they speak tell ns different ly and tell it with an earnestness that leaves no room for douDi. . Every dollar dropped Into the hands of the local committee tomor row will be a direct and real contri bution to the war making efficiency of America. The donors may as suredly have the satisfaction of knowing that their gifts will mean as much to the soldiers who have gone out to fight their battle, as could a dollar spent in any other imaginable manner. SOLDIER LETTERS ine courier has received, as doubtless other newspapers have, a request from the war department to carefully scrutinize all letters recelv ed from soldiers, In camps and at the front, before publishing. The request is batted upon the ne- . cesslty of avoiding the giving oi uv formation to the enemy. It Is the policy of the government to prevent the nation's enemies from learning of the disposition of troops and the numbers at each camp, after they have left the cantonment training camps. The suggestion is also made that the individual soldier sew bat little and frequently does not fully understand what he sees. He is not In a position to Investigate before repeating untruthful and exaggerat ed stories. Tbe Courier will scrupulously ob serve this request tint, at the same time, welcomes letters from boys at the front or In ramps, containing Items of interest concerning Jose phine county soldiers. Bring In such letters and, after deleting state' ments the war department would prefer should not be published, the Courier will be glad to use them.

(By mail) How a British officer feels Just be fore going into action is tragically described in the following letter to his parents, received after the news of his death: My Darling Mater and Dad: Tomorrow at dawn there's a hell of a show coming off and this will only reach you If I get knocked out. Mather, be brave for God's sake be as brave as I know you can be for it's hell to bear. Anyhow, you'll be proud, too won't you? "Cos It's the best death a chap can have. Do not think with pain of the things I loved: the favorite songs the friends; the tennis; the picnics on the downs, but let their memory make you enjoy them the more! Nothing to say and this Is a hor rid letter to write. Se good-by, Mother and Dad, and and cheer up everyone! E row . RHEUMATISM NCUHALUA t iMantt luaaryima guruntflt at all oauo aToan Tvaca ao jaaa aoc KAISER'S PRAYER ANSWKKKIk Sir Kaiser I am sorry I cannot grant your prayer. The reason Is so plainly seen, Tom here If not from there. You slaughtered those poor Belgians wno nave done you no harm. You burned their homes and chil dren; Ruined all their farms. You humbled poor old Johnny Bull, And sunk his battleships. Killed many thousand Frenchmen And licked your bloody Hps. But say. Sir Kaiser William You sure did hit a snag When you tackled my son, Sammie And then began to brag That you would make him pay for ail Because he had the gold. But pride goeth before a rail. In the good book we are tola. You ask me to help you now To whip my favorite child; What has he ever done to you To make ynu so wild? Is It because he stands for love And friendship to the end. Or that he wants democracy To rule in the hearts of men? I helped him twice lick Johnny Bull Ana naughty Spaniards, too. So now I think it Just the time 1 help him to lick you. When my son Sam. Rets through with you I haven't any doubt There's not enough of your men left To raise a decent shout. You want to be the boss of earth But that Is At 111 my Job; You got. to be put out of bis So the world you cannot rob. So I'll whisper to son Sammie Some secrets thst I know. And to "Davie Jones' Locker" ' Your submarines will go. I've thought of just the place for yon And it will suit you well I'll give the Devil another job And make you boss of Hell. FIFTH AVENUE SEES OF Salem, Ore, Sept. 17. There Is money In pigs. This today is the firm opinion of 55 Murfon county 'boys. They have a practical Interest in the subject of porkers. Last spring G. W. Eyne, a local banker, loaned 55 boys $10 each to buy a young pig. Today the 55 pigs averaged 250 pounds in weight and are worth $38 each. The boy clean ed up a net profit of about $30 on each pig, It Is estimated, or $1,650 on the 55. Tbe pigs will be exhibited at the state fair. Xew York. Sept. 17. -Fifth ave nue is a promenade for rcprenenta tives of all the allies' fighting forces today. The salutes of many nations may be studied on the avenue any afternoon. French soldiers, In their blue uniforms and their red-topped caps, tlalians, Britishers with fatigue bonnets stuck on the sides or their beads, Russian sailors with axtonlxh Ingly long cap ribbons dangling down their back, stroll along often arm In arm with American officers and enlisted men. And they're all kept . busy saluting, the Americans Jerking their arms straight down from their hat-brims, the Europeans flinging their arms out In snnppy seml-clrcle. Courier bargain Day tomorrow ASSOCIATED 1PRESS SERVICEOFOR COURIER On the 18th of September the Daily Courier will become a member of the Associated Press, ac tion having been taken on the application for meiii-bei-ship some weeks ago by the board of directors in 'New York. For seven years past the Courier has been served by the United Press, a good tele graphic service, but after thorough investigation and carefully weighing the merits of the respec tive news services the Courier publisher became convinced that the Associated Press is superior to anv other press service in the United States. We believe the readers of the Courier will approve of the change.
