CHATEAUTHEIRRY.
Where have you been Little Boy.
Little Boy?
(Cloud.) in thj dull sky foaming!)
Your face was gay when you went
away .
But its pitiful, sad in the gloaming.
"I've been through the Valley of
Broken Hearts
Where the stoutest souls grow weary
And I've lain with tho dead where the
blood flowed red
In the wheat at Chatcau-Theirry,"
What have you seen Little Boy, Little
Boy?
(Crickets a-chirpin the meadow 11
Your eyes were as blue as the larkspur
true
But they're purple now in the shadow.
"Ive looked on Youth that was old as
Age;
On joy that was parched and dreary,
And I've seen men smile, though they
died the while
In the wheat at Chateau-Theirry."
You fought at his side Little Boy,
Little Boy
(Warm sweet scent of the clover I)
So speak me true as the hrave must do
Have you never a word from my
lover?
"This did I hear through that fearful
hell
'For God and my Country. Dearie,
And you above all 1' And I saw him
fall
In the wheat"at Chateau-Theirry."
GERTRUDE ROBISON,
Dallas, Or.
In the reply to the German militar
ists, the Preesident had o:casion to
imply directly to the German people
that America and the allies do not
treat with autocracy, nor grant an
armistice unless proper and safe'guar
antees were pledged as a guard against
Hun treacherv. The former note
paved the way for tho President to
avail himBelf of the opportunity to
wamjthe masses of Germany that the
men who are responsible for war can
not be included in the assemblage at
the peace table when the time fur set
tlement lomes. His answer is that
before an armistice In granted German
militorism must be broken By process
of unconditional surrendor and that
Koch willdictatc tho terms ?of guar
anty satisfactory to the allies. The
President's answer is in full accord
with the desires of France and Eng
land is backed by the nation and is
based upon his previously expressed
conditions and principles on which
peace may be secured.
i
With the election only a little more
than two weeks olT, but Ittle interest
is manifested. The war is the issue
the topic and the center of all interest
of the people and the politician is hav
ing a hard time of it making himself
heard. Politics, what little there is
flares up apusmodically and discord
antly. When the time comes the
voter will go to the polls with but
one object in view, and that will be to
cast his ballot for just what will carry
the war ta a successful issue and no
thing more. Policies have long been
measured by him, and his intelligence
will guide him in supporting the right
men for office.
Only one day more of the Liberty
Loan drive. How do you square up
with the President's warning 0111
Umatilla county boys now ob the bat
tleflelds of Franco are doing their full
part to win the war. Can you con
scientiously say that you are doing
yours' Think a moment. The names
of all loan slackers found in the coun
r ty after the drive is over tomorrow
s will be published in evoryj newspaper
fa the county, next week. Will your
name be published among them?
ThiB is pay-up month. The whole
saler expects his money at this time,
nd the retailer is put to it to dig up.
So the other fellow must dig up to the
retailer.
Athena people have responded gen
erously to the call for a Red Clots
linen shower.
America can put as big an army Into
the Held as the field can accommodate.
Another price list to keep tab on
now Is the quotations on second-hand
automobiles.
Blaming fish caters for the high
price of fish Is perhaps as good un
alibi as any.
Somehow, no matter how go the for
tunes of war, there Is never any short
age of carrots.
And If the young suitor only brings
a pound box of candy It may be a sign
that he's a patriot.
Present prices make some business
more profitable than gold mines and
with quicker returns.
If you don't like the bread you're
getting you can get all-wheat bread In
the urmy over there.
German disapproval of American
war methods Is a compliment that
could not be surpassed.
Captured German autos have fabric
tires. Maybe they're using the Inner
tubes for sausage skins.
There was a time when there was
something important to think about
other than winning the war.
Nowadays the woman who did not
raise her boy to be a soldier Is trying
eagerly to remedy the deficiency.
Musical Instruments are to be taxed,
but it has not yet been decided wheth
er ukuleles will be taxed or not.
The pacifist Is merely trying to shift
the burdens of war from his shoul
ders to those of his children's children.
Everybody hopes the war will end In
time to give Sir Thomas LIpton a
chance at the ocean with another
Shamrock.
A rise of 110 per cent has been made
In the price of bread In parts of Aus
tria. And the worst part of It Is it
Isn't bread.
Young women who do not care to go
to Purls because there are no soda
fountains there, would not make good
nurses, anyway.
Another objection to merging tele
phone companies Is that there will be
Just so many more chances of getting
the wrong number.
Modern valuations disclose strange
discrepancies. A man with a barrel of
money does not feel absolutely sure
of a scuttle of conl.
The kaiser has retired nineteen offi
cers for failure to stop the allies on
the Mnrne, thus showing It was not the
crown prince's fault.
Oh, well, sending more of the draft
ed men to the south for their training
this coming winter will save coal. And
It will please the south.
Some women wear so much perfume
that If they could only walk past the
German trenches It would mean a big
saving In gas to the allies.
If the war spirit continues to In
crease, the government may yet have
to tuke off that forty-flve-ycar age limit
so as to let the rest of us In.
A heavy tax on chewing gum may
exercise some little restraint on peoplo
who throw It on sidewalks to stick to
the feet of innocent pedestrians.
An Important piece of war news that
did not come from the fighting front Is
tho announcement that Englund's grain
crop Is to be the largest since 1863.
Once when a vender wished to have
n sale he advertised price reductions.
Now he merely ays that the price will
bo Increased after the first of next
month.
If the government were to conscript
the woman power of the country be
tween the ages of eighteen and forty
five It would get practicully every one
of them.
Lots of fellows who have been be
moanlng the fact that they were too
old for fighting will soon have nn op
portunity to let the government decide
about that.
The Germans are bragging because
their TJ-bouts are able to remain so
long olT our coast. It Is qulie possible
that some of them will remain there
pcrmnuently.
Mayor Cowglll of Kansas City In
formed a delegation of firemen he was
opposed to their request for a 25 per
cent wage Increase in this fiscal year
on account of the condition of city
finances, Kumons of a strike were not
mentioned.
Owing to the ulgli cost of steel, la
bor and transportation, the low grade
gold mines may ho compolled to close.
This ought to relieve In a measure the
people who have been hosing sleep be
cuuse of the alleged exox'ss production
of the precious mvtal.
Species of Whlppoorwlll.
The cry of the whlppoorwlll Is Its
long and only the male utters it. The
female Is silent. When It is singlnx,
Just as likely as' not the wliippoorwlll
Is sitting on the ground, although it
ulngs from the treetops nt times. It
doesn't sing after midnight. From
llark until about 10 o'clock is Its favor
ite time for singing or yellng. In the
South there Is a kindred bird, some
what larger than the Northern whlp
poorwlll, which Is sometimes called
"chuck-will's-widow," because that Is
What some folks assort It says. And
In England there in a bird very similar
to the whlppoorwlll known as the
'goat-sncker," because It Is supposed
to obtain its food from the milk of
gouts. Exchange.
The self-denial of the American
jome, added to the efforts of the
American farmer, have removed fear
'rom the minds of our Allies, for this
r?r. at least. Let's keep it up. t

To the members ar.d friends of the
Church, Greetings. This week has
left in nil our hearts a feeling of lone
sorneness. a consciousness of something
wanting, and indeed it is incomplete.
The Lord's Day worship and commun
ion is divinely ordained and has be
come with many of us a means of grace
and source of joy that touches like the
tender band and entle voice of a mo-
Iher the finest sensibilities and very
best elements of our beings.
And now, until we can meet again
at the church, let your thoughts and
prayers center in it. Make your res
olutions and lay your plans for more
faithful work and deeper consecration.
Sincerely you pastor, B. B. Burton.

The "T"-Head, illus

fills these require

and Standard Oil Service

Experts Say,
"Zerolene Is Better"
Why are the majority of cars
now lubricated with ZERO
LENE? Because
ZEROLENE does hold better
compression, does give better
protection to the moving parts,
does deposit less carbon. And
this is the testimony of the
leading automobile distributors
of the Coast.
They know from the records of
their service department and
we know from exhaustive tests
that ZEROLENE, correctly
refined from selected California
asphalt-base crude, gives per
fect lubrication with less wear
and less carbon deposit.
ZEROLENE is the correct oil
for all types of automobile en
gines. It is the correct oil for
your automobile. Get our lu-
brication chart showing the
