Davldon, the head of the merlcan Society, at the Now York Hppodromc, says tne Literary Igest, The Ued (Toss has not yet been ,lled to minster to our wounded; Ut the worn 11 is uonig in riniiM. L just as surely work for the Ameri can forces as tho they got ll directly. Mr Davidson snows new: O the arrival of General Per illing we went o mm inu biu, what can we do for you?' He said. Ihank you very much. If you really ... A . " want to no someming lor inr, ior Cod's sake buck up the French. hli.v have been fighting for three ch! and are now getting ready for !heir fourth winter, and if they are not taken care of nobody can tell Iwhat will happen to us. A French soldier of the devast- Ied region, after being In the war roue for four months comes out for ais ten days leave. His clothes are Uovcred with vermin and torn; his shoes are out of repair, and his spir it! are low. He came out to go to Ms home. But he had no home; his tome had been swept from the earth as dean as the floor and his mother or his wife or his children had gone be did not know where any more than you know. "That Frenchman comes out of tho trench, and he Is met by your Hed Cross representative, and he Is taken to .i structure you have arranged; his clothes are taken from him and ster ilised and mended. A bath and a hair-cut are given him. ami a shave i he needa It ; If he has whiskers and wants them trimmed, they are trlro nn (I He gets throe hours' or three I days' rest. Then he Is taken to the place where Tils home was, and there he finds a structure temporary In haracter which you have built for him, and within this structure he :ini his mother or hie wife or child ren, whom you have found for him. He finds them provoded, with food, with clothing, and with fuel. He pendi his holiday, and then goes nek to the trench. What effect do ou suppose that has had on that French soldier? It has had the same effect upon that French soldier that it would have on you. Frenchmen sre maile of exactly the same kind "I i lay as you are made of. They are usi as susceptible to encouragement or discouragement as we are. When he koch back to the trench he stands there a moment and says: "Thank Qod Hie Americans are here. They sre not vet ready In the line, but 'in-, lire here to take are of tin j members of my family; they have j fonfld me and they will provide for i hem I now have something to live j tnr and something to fight for, and i 1 will fiKht as long as I live." I When that man takes his place there, have you ever thought that he takes the place of one of our boys? If there Is any break in that lac there is Just one thing lo slop ll with, and that Is Pershing's Army, I n pared or unprepared. And so I uhmll that that is the way In Thick ippltM equally to any draft regis "ir Red Cross Is directly saving the (rant In a deferred classification lives of your American boys." (whose status has been changed. "You don't have to be a general; you don'l have to wear a uniform. i or gn to a foreign lund. You may i ot have to itet out of your chair, Miat you have to do Is lo play this i line all the time, and do whatevei pul up to you to do.

This war Is going to be won, 'ut when It is aolna to be won and the cost of winning It are geing lo tie decided, not In the trench, but by Hie people at home. The sooner we coneentrats every ounce of power In1 bodies to winning this war the Doner the war will be over. It is going lo hit over.

Wounded French people, In future yearn, are going to walk around on American limbs, Possibly the people of the world nro going to wulk around on American limbs or ()n that American spirit which the American people arn now sending to I Europe. 1 believe the very work the American Red Cross is doing for the peoples of the world Is establishing n relationship among tho peoples which will have a very marked effect on determining the character of the peace to be declared. Ann the worn of the American Hed Cross Is going to make you and your children and your children's children, In whatever part of the world they may be, proud of being Americans." o WAXTH THHOI'UH LINK TO CANYON While In town the other day Dave Craddock called at this office. During his visit we found that L Wolden berg. who has been tho contractor on the mall route from Canyon to Sll vlee for the past few years, has bid for the new contract to be let In the immediate future. Mr. Woldouberg was approached at one lime by Mr. Craddock on the proposition of ex tending the line to Hums and he stated he would be willing to carry the mall between Canyon City and Uuren three times a week for the same price that he now carries It to Hilvles six times a week. In fact he said he would prefer a through line at that rate than the present one. Mr. Craddock and his neighbors are anxious to have mall connections with this city as this Is the place they do theft business, the county seat, the land office, the banks, etc.. and where they bring their stock to feed during the winter months when they run short of feed ut home Mr Craddock was assured of the In-arty support of this paper and the people Of Burns In an effort to establish such a route. o HUP LOCAL IMlAltD I'OSTKR Neglect by any draft registrant who has been granted deferred class ification to report to his Ixical Board within five days any fact that might change or affect his classification, win be a very serious matter. Indeed, for the draft registrant. The penalty for such forgetfulness in up to one year In Jail. And gov ernment appeal agents and tho police have been Instructed to watch very closely the status of all registrants In deferred classes. As an example, suppose a draft registrant, who otherwise would be In Class 1. to have been granted de ferred classification by reason of his iiiiployment In a shipyard. His deferred classification holds ood only for the lime he Is actu ally so employed If ho quits work In the shipyard or any reason whatsoever, he must report the fact, within five days of his quilting to the local board. if he doesn't report ll, the change his status Is certain to become mown sooner or later. He will be ir res ted, prosecuted and probably unt to jail Making a false report is punisn ible as severely as neglecting to .nuke any report. The rule cited does not apply only ,....,, ,.,,,i,t,,ved In shipyards. It m; ! CONTHIHI'TION (LOSS in HKD Marlon Horton and Mr. and Mrs (has.

Tells House wives May Meet The Requlrem inentN of Kood AdmliilMlr.illon "stealer said than done." Is the way niuny preplcxed housewives felt after reading tiiat they would bo re quired to nil much wheat subsltut es as wheat products, under the new POOd Administration order. To help them out of their difficulty Hie O. A. C. news editor appealed to Dean Mil an, of the Home Kconomles depart ment, for a radical method of meet ing the requirement. "The now order stipulates that the housewives must purchase with every order of flour an equal amount of flour substitutes," aald Dean Mil am, "and of course thoy will want to use these to the best advantage. Hut they are not called on to use them all in bread-making and so may use part as cereals, In puddings. "Corn-meal, rolled oats and oat meal, barley .flour and rice and pota to flour, may be used In yeast bread substitutes for 1-4 to 1-3 of wheat ; flour. The rolled oats especially make an excellent bread. Bread with any of these substitutes Is made precisely as bread without them." "The use of substitutes as cereals and breakfast foods makes a pleas ing change In the menu. By mixing dried prunes, slightly cooked and seeded, with the cookt;ig barley breakfast food or other cereals a delightful breakfast dish Is obtain ed. Corn starch may be used to thicken gravies and svups. A good cheese pudding Is made by using lay ers of sliced corn meal mush Instead of slices of bread." Attention Is also called to the fact that even though measure for mea sure cirn nn ul may eo:it r.bout twice is much as wheat floi:r, pound for pound it h:.s the same number of Oalortee god given same food value. Hence the use of substitutes Is not so expensive us it secerns. At any rate. American soldiers and their allies Med the flour thus saved, and all patriotic housewives will see that they get It as fur us possible. ANDHKWH AIXIUAHY ItKD CltOHH SKM1S CASH. The Times-Herald is Informed this morning that the Andrews Auxiliary of the Harney County Chapter, Hed Cross, has Just forwarded a check for $92.00 as a result of a dame given In that place for the benefit of the work. Such splendid response from sev eral communities of this county Is gratifying. Tho people are ready to aid in winning the war in every way posisble and all that Is required Is for them to fully understand what Is xpected of them. Tho Hed Cross organization with its auxiliaries In Harney County ha . accomplished u great deal since Its organization and compares favorably with any other Chapter In the entire northwest since It got to work. Keep up the good work. We're going to win the war and the greater effort upon our part to get aid quickly where It Is needed will bring It to a close that much quicker.

At the supper given by the ladles' Aid for the Mens' Club of the Pres- DVlorlan church last night the Boy 8cout movement was touched upon during the remarks of one present. We have such an organization but since Carl Welker left there has been no one to take hold of it and lead the boys, as a result It has been neglected by the boys and they have had no training or drills. E. C. Kggleston came to this office this morning and offered to devote his time to the building up of the organization if given aid by some in dividual who knows something of drills, etc. It Is not a difficult mat ter and he has been assured of moral suport from several.

THKACHKROU8 WOKK OF A UAI MAN (jeo. Buchanan and wife were In town the other day and Mr. Duch- told The Times-Herald of a fiendish attempt upon the life of a citizen at Drewsey recently. Merle McMullen kept a trunk on which a romblnatiou lock was placed In Uu building formerly occupied by A. I Johnson's store. We understand I he building Is vacant, that Is not OOOtl pled continuously by any business or family. He had been there ann opened the trunk three days previous ,.v with u eornnanlon and at otico noted that the combination lock had been removed. He raised the lid Hnd beheld In the tray of the trunk the barrel of a 22-callber rifle. Upon examination it was found to have been wired stationery to the tray and with a cartridge In the barrel from which the bullet had been removed. The barrel had been completely fill ed with smokeless powder and tho muzzel put Into a 6V pound can or smokeless powder. A string had been attached to the trigger and run down to one end of the trunk where a hole had been bored and the end of tho string tied to the lid of the trunk so that ll would dischargo the gun up on the lid being raised. The neglect to cock the gun was the only thing that prevented an explosion that would not only have killed Mr. Mc Mullen and his companion but also have blown up' the building and pos sibly have killed other people who chanced to be near. It was a dastardly attempt on tho life of Mr. McMullen and one that might have proven even worse, as ! the trunk might have been opened by some other person than the one intended as the victim, or removed to some home where the lives of children would have been added to the list. Mr. BaObOBM suys the people of DfOWBOf are i .onsldorabiy concerned because of the incident and feur that such an Individual in the neigh borhood may do something even more dastardly. n 11 I1LIC SCHOOL OK III HNS TAK ING ;ilKAT INTKHKST IN HKD CROSS.
