The world war is rapidly slipping into history, bat .before it has en tirely disappeared between the pages of books it weald be a pity if Mote could not act upon the offer of the gov rn me nt whereby ‘some of the caytured war trophys held by the government could not be secured for Moro park. The captured war material is to be distributed to the states from the arsenal in New Jer sey. Oregon’s quota amounta to nearly 75.000 pounds and will be allotted to the communities making application before July 25. The list of material includes rifles, machine gun?, swords, artillery, and other munitions of war, captured from the Germani and Austrian armies. The government is offering any cummunity in Oregon their choice of the .material on hand. The request must come through certain specified channels, mainly for the purpose of securing to the government a pledge that the captured trophys will be placed where the public can view them without being charged for the privilege. Sherman county has three places for display of ^hese captured war trophys if application be made be fore all are allotted. Moro park, Grass Valley park, and DeMoss park are eligible under the allotment reg ulations. Requests to the govern ment can be made through commer cial or clu> associations, county or city officials, ^or American Legion posts. - ' ■ — Students Varied Training Sherman county is represented at CHANGE OF OFFICE LOCATION thia year’s citizens' military training The week of June 29th to July 4th camp at Camp Lewia by John M.
