BRUCE HULL HAS
PROMPT ANSWER
FOR TIMES' PIFF
Says Insinuations of Editor
Are Malicious and Carry
No Truth Whatever
Mayville. Orsgon.
- May lit. 1918.
CJitor Condon Globe: (
Laat wnk lh editor of tba Condon
Times in (It to raise a question u to
my patriotism so i im sending bun a
copy of the enclceed statement and ask
ing bim, at a matter of falrneea, to
give It apace, Inaamuch as tha question
in first raised by blm in bla paptr.
Bruce H. Hull.
To the Republican Voters of Gil
liam County, Oregon:
In protracted editorial in Uat
week's issue of the Condon
Timea, the editor took decided
exception to the Globe's favor
able mention of my canoidacy
for the office of County Clerk.
Regarding the imaginary chal
lenge which he ao eagerly accepts
I will not bother, for the Globe
will, I presume, be able to handle
ita own battlea. The unwsrrant
able attack upon my own patriot
Um, however, is a question which
I will answer myself.
By meuns of the drawing of
numbers in Washington and the
later classification of all regis
trants, the War Department of
our government has determined
the exact order of liability of
every man of military age. My
pntion in th rittfc is at the
bottom of Class 1. When the
government needs men now It
calls them, and when my call
comes I wili be ready and willing
to serve, in spite of the malicious
insinuations ot the Times editor
to the contrary. In the mean
time, if nominated and elected
to the office of County Clerk, I
will serve, not only to the inter
ests of the taxpayers of Gilliam
eounty, but will, by co operating
with the War Department in all
war work connected with
the'
oluce, aiKO render our govern
ment a service in thin great crisis.
The editor also seems to be
worrying with the idea of a
"frame-up," and. well he might,
for the only "frame-up" of
which I am aware is the one fos
tered in his own malevolent mind.
In this case thu desire for "mud"
has been father to the thought.
The absurdity of such a state
ment is at once apparent, for
such a plot ea he suggests would,
of couree, necessitate a lack of
integrity on the part of eaflh
member of the County Court. ' ,
Remember, voters, real patriot
ism, in the full meaning ot the
word, ia not confined to the men
who come under the draft but is
an obligation upon any and every
man who has enjoyed the privi
lege of living under the Ameri
can government and any man
who is without family ties is
obligated to bear arms for his
country as strongly as la.the man
in Class I.. ...
Rest assured that when my
cal.l comes I'll be right there to
the best of my ability and when I
go there will be no "frame-up"
for I have full confidence in the
ability of the Allies to get the
Kaiser before my term would ex
pire and I would expect to return
to the Job myself. '
In conclusion let me say that
the insinuations in the Times'
. editorial last week were publish
ed for the Dumose of Doisonincr
me minas 01 me people ror a po-
, litical, not patriotic, "tt&son and
a I a 1 i ! m

and scrape of wrapping paper but ia

flneat linen. "Pat" baa been in active
service at the front for aome time. The

At the Front, March IS, 1918.
Tola W one of those fine, balmy
evenlnga Ideal for cranking up the old
boat and rattling along, pulling away
at S pipeful of good tobacco but should
you attempt such a stunt here tonight
you would go but a very abort distance
before your boat would spring a leak or
maybe blown to pieces, anyway It would
be no Joyride. The lights wonld make
anIJeal target for the enemy. .We
have bean here fur aome time and are
a much wiser bunch of fellows regard
ing how this warae la-played. It waa a
hard old hike getting here through tha
trenches and mad but are quite comfort
able under the conditions, in fact mora
ao than 1 expected. I made the mis
take of limiting my tobacco but shall do
better next time. When a fellow car

one thing I lind most useful Is a whisk
broom used to brush the "cooties" or
"seam squirrels" from ones clothing
and blankets. Everybody has them
here in the dugouts and will have thtm
until wa go back for rest. I am writ

when the big onea are landing nearby.

observer would never guess there is
anyone living where wa are. A net
work of tranchea leads from -our front
door to different positions. If I were
to describe the scenes, would do ao by
comparing It to the valley through
which Rock ("reek flows, every few
kilometers a mats of rocks, the remaina
of aome French village with not a
house standing, what waa once an
orchard la now a broken mass of stumps
and limba, huge shell holes partly filled
with atagnant water and others ntwly
made. Out on the flat surfaces from
tha valley were at one time fields of

wire entanglements. Most every road
has been hard-surfaced and on each aide
la a row of treea partly dead from
shells and ahrapnel. These roads are
all camouflaged by means of screens.
Ail goea well now aa I have plenty of
tobacco and wa bave a pretty good

BIG SUPPLIES OF
FLOUR SHOULD BE

From Now Until Harrest

Must Be Marketed
The next two months will be
the most critical in the food bis- -tory
of the world. The Allies

more wheat before harvest ti.T.e
or quit fighting. Unless we send
it they must take the ships and
go to Argentine for it Every
ship is needed to get cur men,
guns and munitions across. We
must send the wheat Therefore
with regard to wheat Mr, Hoover
has issued the following: "All
wheat remaining on the farms
should be immediately marketed ,
through the customary channels
and all food administrators have
been instructed that all stocks
'not so disposed of by Hay 15
shall be requisitioned.
With regard to flour Mr. Hoover
says tnat all excess stocks ot
flour held by merchants, dealers
and consumers may be voluntar
ily surrendered for use of the
army or navy. .
The method of handling this

all such floor and pay the consum
er the actual cost of same. When
a merchant or consumer has over
a 30 days' supply they should at
once communicate with M. H
Houser, Grain Commiseioner of

Trade Building, Portland, Ore
