Any able- bodied man who is seen around ! town must explain to the officers why he is not at work and his excuse must be &n iron clad one, The government is getting tired of seeing men loafing around the towns and not doing thing for their country in this war except to eat what someone else has produced.

FLAG OF HONOR Condon has its honor flag an it is an honor to be proud of that Condon was one of the first towns in the state to subscribe fits quota of the loan asked by Uncle Sam. The sight of thU flag will convince the most ardent pro-Hun that this county is 100 per cent American and a poor place for him. Condon Oregon FAIR TO ALL A farm wage teal for harvest at least Is to be fixed for eastern Oregon and Washington and southern Idaho.

MIOKIE'8 COLYUM "cbv. pMuI whcn you 1 f yiuth pieces reaHt wa, ' TVil 6051 WOMf THOOV 'RN IonTM. FLOOR Ft ft M tO tlTTCR TOM M V It is reported that the kaiser has left the western front and gone to Roumania, He no doubt heard how the third Liberty Loan went over and this together with the actions of the Americans on the front has convinced him that he had better get in the clear while he has the opportunity. The candidate is abroad in the land. Before absor bi ng too much of his flattery just remember that promises don't reduce your taxes a cent, then pick the man who has shown he has the busi ness ability to take care of your interests. The German soldiers have been instructed to study the American style of fighting. Sooner or later the Huns will get an exemplifies tion of that style which will be convincing enough without study There may still be some people who need to be reminded that this is not President Wilson's war or the Democratic party's but that it is the American peo ple's war. Wonder if those wooden shoes so atrqngly urged by some, will prevent Or cure cold feet. If they will, the country can stand for. them. Tbe first day of the Liberty Loan drive showed the boys that we are backing them up. The boss says he is going to make a reporter of me and give me a chance to uae some of my chilled-steel nerve in a way that will accomplish something. So he has written out a bunch of dope on "How to Conduct an Interview" and told me to get it or quit smoking cigarettes in the basement I'm getting it and the first man I'm going to try it on is the boss himself. In this column next week I'll tell you about "The Big Noise in the Globe Office or An Interview with the Boss." Don't fail to miss it. Yes, I've had interviews al ready with him since I started to work here but I've got nothing to say about what happened on those occasions. They were not conducted ac cording to specifications anyhow. Getting tired, you aay? Just one thing more 30" OVER THE TOP Br Arthur Our Empty, mi Amarlcan auMJtr From page 1 enng popuiuce, but everything was normal. People were calmly proceed ing to their work. Crossing the street, I accosted Bobble with : 'Can you direct me to tbe place of damage V He asked me, "What damage?" In surprise, I answered, "Why, the damage caused by tbe Zeps." With a wink be replied: . "There was no damage : we missed them again." , After several fruitless Inquiries of tbe passe rsby, I decided to go on my own In search of rulged buildings and scenes of destruction. I boarded a bus which carried me through Tottenham Court road. Recruiting posters were everywhere. The one that Impressed roe most was a life-size picture of Lord Kitchener with bis finger point ing directly at mc, under the caption of Tour King and Country Need You." No matter which way I turned, the HELLO, SPRING! AND YOU, TOO. READER! , YJelcome to our parlors again, where ice cream and soft drinks are always to yur liking! Every flavor and the best that can be made. Price? Well, that is the small part of it Tell your friends to meet you here the popular spot in town. You see most everybody here, anyway. Then, too, ou can always get the test of candles, fiuita and mixed nuts. JOHN JACKSON Condon's Leading; Stationer and Confectioner accusing anger followed tno. i an American, In mufti, and bad a little American flitg In the lapel of my unt. I bad no king, and my country bail seen fit not to need tue, but atlll that pointing finger made ni feel simill and 111 at cane. I got off the bus to try to dlstlpate this feeling by lulling with the throng of tbe sidewalks. Presently I came to a remiltlng'of fli. Inside, sluing at a deak was a lonely Tommy Atkins. I decided to lu tcrvlew lil in in regard tu Jolutug the British army. I mpened the door. He looked up and greWed me with "I s'y. my t want to tyke out" I looked at him and answered, "Well, whatever that Is, I'll take t chance at It" Without tbe aid of an Interpreter, I found out that Tommy wanted to know If I cared to Join the IlrllUh army. lie united me: Tlil you ever hear of the Koyal Fusiliers!" Well, In Loudon, you know, Yanks are supposed to know everything, so I wits not golug to ap pour tguorunt and answered, "Sure." After listening for one half hour to Tommy's tale of tlielr exploit oo tlie firing Hue, I derided to join. Tommy took in to the recruiting headgunMvrs, where I met a typical KnglUh ciiplalu. lie asked my uuUonailty. I IiiiuhmII ately pulled out my American passport and allowed It to lilin. It was signed by Luualng. After looking at tlie paMnjiort, be Informed me that b was sorry but could Dot enlist me, as It would be a breath of neutrality. I Indited that I was not neutral, be cause to me It seemed Unit a real American could not be neutral when Mg things were In progrens, but the captain would not cullst me. With disgust la my heart I went out In the street. I had. gon about a block when a recruiting sergeant wli hud followed me out of the oflW tupped me on the shoulder with bis swagger stick and said: "S'y, I ran get you In the army. We have 'Kf tenant' down at tbe other office who enn do anything. He has just come out of the O. C. (Officers' Training corps) and does not know what neu trality Is." I decided to take a chance and accepted his Invitation for nn la troductlon to the nontenant. I enterqd tbe office and went up to him, opened up my passport and sold: "Before going further I wish to state that I am an American, not too proud to fight, and want to Join your army." lie looked at me In a nonchalant manner, and answered, "That's all right ; wt take anything over here." I looked at hlro kind of hard and re plied. "So I notice," but It went over bis head. . lie got' out nn enlistment blank, and placing his finger on a blank line said, sign nerc." I answered, "Not on your tintype." "I beg your pardon?" . Then I explained to him that I would not sign It without first rending It, 1 read It over and signed for duration of war. Some of the recruits were lucky. They signed for seven years only I Then be asked me my birthplace. I answered, "Ogden, Utah." Be said, "Ob, yes, lust outside of New York?" With a smile, I replied, "Well, It's up the state a little." Then I was taken before; the doctor and passed as physically fit, and was Issued a uniform. When I reported back to the lieutenant, lie suggested that, being nn American, I go on re cruiting service and try to shame some of tbe slackers Into Joining the army." "All you have to do," he said, "Is to go out on the street, and when you see a young fellow In mufti who looks physically fit, Just stop him and give htm this kind of a talk: 'Aren't you ashamed of yourself, a Britisher, phys ically fit, and In mufti when your king and tountry need, you?" Don't you know thnt your country Is fit war and that the place for every young Briton Is on the firing line? Here I am, nn American, In khaki, who came four thousand miles to fight for your king and country, and you, as yet, have not Continued on next page PROFESSIONAL DIREOTORY T. A.
