Necessary shipyards and materials for construction and funds to carry on the work have already been pro vided and all that is lacking Is en listment of sufficient skilled labor and a knowledge of the needs such as to create a spirit in the nation that will insure ships being built at once. In order to provide this labor the shipping board in cooperation with the public service reserve, is now en rolling 250,000 men for service in shipyards. It is understood that these men are not to be called at once but will be personally notified when wanted, They are being enrolled by the gov- ernment under the name of the U. S. Shipyard Volunteers. The American Red Cross Is vitally interested in increasing shipping fa cilities, and every member in this di vision is urged to get back of the pro gram as outlined. battle to the Bandon Tigers.

Commissioner Geo. J. Armstrong has returned from Portland, w.'mru with other membra of the county court, attended a meeting of the State Highway commission, and dis cussed w i them the proposition of the stnti doing at least a portion of the han' :u: face road work voted for Coos. A majority of the com- mission is reported favorable to do ing the work provided the govern* ments permits them to sell the nec- eta-ary bonds. Uniforms for Home Guards The county court has decided to appropriate funds necessary for the purchase of 60 uniforms for the Ban don Home Guard, and 60 uniforms for each of the companies of Marsh field and Coquille. These uniforms will cost $12.50 each, and will con sist of a hat. blouse, trousers, car tridge belt and leggings. The Coos and Curry Fair associa tion was given $800 aid from the county towards holding the annuul event nt Myrtle Point this year. Ostllnd & Payne of Coos Bay were awarded the contract for construc tion of a concrete viaduct to carry tho county road over the railroad tract near Cosh-do, between Mashtield and Coquille. The coBt of the viaduct Is placed at $9,668.50, of which amount the Hout hern Pacific stands half. The proposition of Mr McAdams ot Langlois, who has a rock quarry tor sale, was Investigated by the county, and the decision reached that It would be more expensive to use chushed rock than crushed Floras creek gravel. Mrs. Rose Oneby of Prosper, aid- ow, who has two children suffering from adenoids, asked the court for assistance and was assured that tho county would pay tlie surgical fee fos the removal of the growths. Will Again Be in the Race County Commissioner Armstrong has decided to again enter the field for the coinmlmtlonershlp. His term expires in the Hprtng. Mr, Arm strong completes eight years in the service of the county at that time. Al though he has made some mistakes and a few enemies, the commissioner has also made many friends who will stand by him in the coming cam paign. Juniors Royal Entertainers One of the most enjoyable social functions of the school year took place last Saturday night when the Junior class entertained the High school students and faculty at the lunior Frolic. The high school building was the scene of the party and at eight o'clock exuberant youth began to appear. Music and old fashioned game« took up th«» forepart of the evening until a track meet was called, in which the five rival schools of the county were all represented. After many tense and exciting moments Marshfield was announced the victor and her captain was presented with the usual track wreath. After the track meet, "eats" were announced and there was a grand scramble for the serving room. Sandwiches, pickles, cakes. punch and all the goodie« that go to satisfy the appetite of hungry youth, were served. Music, ending with "Good Night, Ladies”, was next In order, and all departed with the 1918 Junior party glowing as a pleasant memory. Those responsible for ths evening's success were: Miss Crox- all, president of the Junior class: and the Misses Barrows, Capps and Randleman; and Messrs. Philpott, Kay and Roberts. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ WORLD HONOR ROLL « ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ Miss Grace Wood. Gravel Ford. D. H. Jackson. Bandon. Mrs J. Barkdoll, Bandon. J. 8 Sawyer, Coquille. W.
