Keep this well in mind when you find your self getting mushy about the-Buffering and humiliations of the vanquished Germans.—Eugene Register. The following in regard to the com mon German bluff about not losing the war is especially pertinent and timely. It was written by Gregory Mason, who is now in Europe as a correspondent for the Outlook: COQOUILLB, OBEGON. FRIDAY, MAT 1C, 1*19 doubt if the Germane could get togeth er fear army corps to-day. There are many men in uniform in Germany, but they are not an army. Moot of them are wearing uniform because they have no other clothes. With theexceptipn of the small forces which still support the Government, all semblance of discipline is gone. Offlciers are stripped of the in signia of rank, and whore IYis necessary to got permisaion from military authori ties to travel through Germany, in moat cases the permission is given by private soldiers or their elected chiefs. As the Russian army rotted away, so is the German army rotting. The arrogant tone which has crept into the public speeches of some of Ger many’s political leaders lately is not an indif.vtion that they do not know they are beaten. On the other hand, this arrogance is the arrogance of sheer desperation.—The Outlook. SAILORS ARE WANTED The United States Shipping Board has sent to our Commercial Club a very urgent request for its nfd in a campaign to secure recruits for the Merchant Marine Service. Ships are being built a t a very rapid rate for use in our ocean going commerce and the problem now is to provide crews for them and keep our products mov ing overseas. Upon this our contin ued prosperity must depend. The government has established five training schools for the Merchant Marine service, one of which is' at Seattle. There are facilities for train ing 600 men at this station, the course lasting six weeks. Unless this school is kept full of recruits it will mean the indefinite delay of ships which are ready for commission. Any man be tween 18 and 36 years, who is an American citizen and in good health, is eligible for enlistment. Fare to Seattle will be refunded to men who pc f t the physical examination. His uniform, work clothes and board are furnished and he is paid $1 per day while in training. After going on shipboard ho will get from $66 to $80 a month besides his koep. None but American citizens will get places on these ships. This is an opportunity for “g life on the rolling wave” and a chance to visit all points of the earth, which will appeal to many a young man.

N ew P o in t* f o r S chool O fficers The following circular, under data of May 10, has just bean sent out by Superintendent Mulkey to all the school district officers in the county: “The last Legislature made the minimum amount of money each dis trict should raise, $620.00. According to this law your district would have to vote enough tax to raise the dif ference between the County School fund for your district and $620. This is exclusive of the State school fund. The County Court ia given power to vote this tax on you up to five mills in case you fail to do it yourself. “Another law makes the minimum salary a teacher can draw, $76 per month. No contract will be accepted in this office for a less amount after this law goes into effect. “Another ^law makes the County Treasurer custodian of all school funds. For this reason the county school funds will not be apportioned until about June I and the apportion ment will then be made to the County Treasurer. After May 29, the Clerks will receive no more money, and on June 16 they will be required to turn over to the County Treasurer all funds in the hands of the Clerk on that date. The County Treasurer, Mr. T. M. Dimmick, has suggested that the clerks make n list of the out standing warrants, their numbers, dates, and probable whereabouts that he m ay b e better able to locate them when they are subject to be paid. W arrants will be drawn on the Coun ty Treasurer instead of on the dis trict clerks. “Enough funds should be provided on your budgets to take care of all these outstanding warrants, if you have any, as well as pay the expenses for the coming year. “I t is very important th at the clerk’s books be balanced and his annual report made out for the an nual mooting June 16.” “ B an d o n ” O nce “ A v e rill” In a sketch of Edgar F. Averill, o f Pendleton, who is now U. S. Biological Inspector of Predatory animals for Oregon, Washington and Idaho, in the Oregon Journal, Fred Lockley soys: Mr. Averill bought the land on which the town of Bandon is located, laid out a townsite and called it Aver ill. About a mile or so away, on the bluff, there was a postofflee which served a large area. The postoffice was known as the Bandon postoffice. Mr. B ennett who came from Ireland, had asked that the postoffice be named after his native town, Bandon, in Ireland. The present city of Bandon was incorporated under the name of Averill, but when the postoffice was moved from the bluff to the mouth of the Coquille and located a t the town of Averill, the government failed to change the name of the postoffice from Bnndon to Averitt, so gradually the town itself became known as Bandon, and Bandon it is to this day. The Averill family lived at Bandon for about 10 years, and then moved to Santa Cruz, California. From there they returned to their old donation land claim, near Brownsville, Oregon C h e a p e r to M ake I t Comparing the prices of sugar and syrup, a correspondent of tho Port Umpqua Courier says: “Eight pounds of granulated sugar boiled with enough water will make a gallon of pure cane syrup as thick as it will stand without graining. It might iit- terest the good wife to know that the cost of this made at home is around 80 cents. Quoting from a Portland price list I find pure cane syrup at $1.- 75 per gallon. Sugar price nearly 22 cents a pound. Best quality of glu cose syrup a t $1.20 per gallon. The sweetening power of one gallon is about that of six pounds of granulated sugar, price 20 cents a pound. I find it profitable to make my own syrup.” At your service. We call for and deliver your cleaning and pressing. Phone 1198. R. H. Sweet. Butter Wrappers and Trespass Signs a t the Sentinel office.
