Mrs. Alexander Thompson of
The Dolled, state representative
for Wasco und Hood River coun
ties, delivered un address on the
Liberty Loun ut the opera house
Tucsdny evening. Although the
meeting had not been extensively
udvertiscd and tho weather was
threatening, quite an audience
was present and tho closest at
tention was paid to the speaker's
plea for more co-operation bc
the people and tho government
tit this critical time.
Mrs. Thompson stated thut to
feed and c otho our soldiers vast
sums of niOney must bo forth
coming and the government could
and would raise it in one of two
waystaxation or by tho sole of
inttirest-bearing bonds. Our men
are being drafted and should the
bond platl fail, our mcney will be
dm Red. She stated that a man
who was able to purchase bonds
and failed to do so, was one of
I' the most contemptible kind of
"slackers."
Thus far Oregon has stood at
head of alt states in every patri
otic movement rirtd no doubt will
be at the front in the Second
Liberty Loan anil Eagle Valley
will do her share. At tho close
of Mrs. Tlfomnson's address sov-
'eral'oT our local townsmen-made
short talku and a number of ap.
plications for binds were signed
up.
Death Calls Another.
Mrs. I'armelia C. Jacobs, wife
of Eugene A. Jacobs of the Five
Mile District, died at Baker on
Wednesday morning of last week
after an extended illness.
Purmelia C. Shivers was born
in Nebraska on August 13, 1848,
and was married to Mr. Jacobs in
August, 18GG. In 1901 the family
left Lone Pino. Nehr., and came
to Baker county where they have
since resided. She had been a
member of the Methodist church
for many years and was well
known throughout this section.
Besides tho husband, five sons
and three daughters aro left to
mourn her demise, and all have
the heartfelt sympathy of Eagle
Vahoy residents.
Have YOU Signed Up?
Interest in tho proposed ex
tension of tho county road up
Eagle Canyon is increasing, and
when tho matter comes before
tho County Court next month
there is no doubt but that the
petition will bo granted. On Sun
day last Barney Eidso'n called on
sovera! residents of the Valley
and not only did every man visit
ed sign tho petition, but also do
nated cash or labor. At present
over $600 in cash and labor has
been subscribed and tho amount
yifl reach $1000 at least by tho
time tho petition is presented.
Get in lino and do your sharo
the road will save many dollars
for tho Valley in years to come.

WILL HELP
If there was ever a time to
prove our Americanism, NOW is
the time. Not ali of us can serve
jn the trenches or risk our lives
going over tho top, acros "no
man's land," but all of us can
take part in "Hoover's Drive" to
save wheat and meat, butter and
sugar, for the men who are fight
ing our battle in Europe.
We are not asked'to stint our
selves or go without food, but to
eat wisely and without waste; to
use substitutes for. bacon and
ham, wheat foods and other con
centrated foods than can readily
be shipped across the water. One
wheatless meal u day, one meat
less day a wceK will keep the non
combatants In Europe from hav
ing "eatless" days. most of the
time. Remember that the person
who wastes food duiing wartime
is giving aid and comfort to the;
enemy.
Next week every housewife in
this community will-be asked to
sign a pledge card, promising co
operation with tfie food adminis
tration department All, we be
lieve will do this, jor the united
co-oruinfttad efforrof the nation
will win the war and win it
quicker.

October 12. 1917.
Dear Editor: In compliance to
your request, will say that I ar
rived hero safely on Sept. 10th,
and was kindly given my old room
and bed which the commander of
the home had kept vacant for me;
I found the old boysjabout 140
of them) cheerful and in good
spirits and the most of them ready
for their regular meals, and all of
them feeling grateful to the
Board of Control and the Com
mander of the Home for the ac
commodation and comforts pro
vided for them,' also to the legis
lature for the construction of the
beautiful and commodious hos
pital now being completed at a
cost of about $22,000.
The weather is foggy but dry,
nights cool but days warm. The
health is generally good among
the old soldiers and in the city of
Rosoburg, no more cases of
typhoid appearing.
Hoping that my old friends will
still remember me and the E. V.
News still como to my address, I
remain,' Yours truly,
C. H. Craig.
