He was killed in Thrift Stamp Week, which begins tomorrow and lasts until close of Friday, June, 28th, will be a busy one in this section and if the committee in charge of the campaign is correct in their estimates this community will once more have gone "over the top" before the final day. The out side precincts of the Bandon district have been organized according to the plan outlined in the last issue. In Bandon the campaign will be in the hands of Company A, Coos Guard. The quota is $42,000. At Tuesday night’s meeting of Company A, the following team captains were appointed: O. A. Trowbridge, R. B. Corson, C. L. Foster, K. T. Moore, C. I. Freese, G. R. McNair, C. R. Wade, I. N. Miller, S. C. Endicott, H. Sabro. Ten precincts have been outlined, boundaries conforming to those in the Red Cross drive. Headquarters will be maintained in the Gallier building on First street, where a Guard will he on duty at all times to receive pledges. At the beginning of the i resent year the Government requested that $2,000,000,000 be raised by the sale of War Savings Stamps. Subsequent ly Thrift and War Savings Stamps have been sold, largely by children, until to date a portion of the re quired amount is taken up. Now comes the request of the Government that the entire two billion be pledged before June 28th. Every man, woman and child in the United States will be expected to sign up for their share according to their means. The aggregate amount represents $20 for each individual in the IT. S. The pledges are to be paid between now and the end of the year, at the place designated on the card. The committees in charge of the work are instructed to visit each person as representatives of the Govern ment. The answers they receive from individuals will go directly to the Government. It must be remembered that War Savings Stamps are not a donation, but an investment that is asked to be made out of actual savings. They draw 4 per cent interest, compounded quarterly, and mature in five years. I avor 25 I’er Cent Increase The Bandon Power Co. hearing held here last Thursday developed a general sentiment in favor of in- creased rates in place of discontinu ance of the day service. Mayor Topping represented the people of Bandon and he figured out from the records of the company that a 25 per cent increase would meet expenses. This seemed generally satisfactory among those present and it is probable that it will be recommend ed by the Public Service Commission. • ondensery Machinery Here.

However Mr. and Mrs. Auer are now residents of Salem, Oregon, and the message, after being delivered to Oscar and John Auer of Bear Creek, brothers of the young hero, was forwarded to the parents. The message stated also that burial would take place abroad but that the body would be taken up and sent home after the war. Chas. Auer was a young man just in his 'teens. He enlisted at San Franscisco in the Marine Corps, shortly after the United States entered the war, and was among the very first American troops to arrive in France.
