But with your present plan the good
things 'are served out Impartially to
all alike.
This is a very nice place down here
nd most of the boys like it fine. Of
course there are a few that are a trifle

BRMER ALBANY SOY
KILLED IN FRANCE
Mrs. F. D. Cornet: Ihia morning
received a cable-gram from the Brit-
sh government informing her that
her son. Freeman Zumalt. had been
killed in battle. He was with the
Canadian troops, probably around
Lens, .where the heavy fighting has
been in progress this summer. In a
letter received by Mrs. Cornett re
cently, her son said that "if they ev
er got out of there," meaning "some
place in France," that he would b
thankful. He no doubt recognized the
danger of his position.
The fact that the Canadian troops.
who have been doing such heroic
ssork, have withstood the offensive
and defensive work around the Lens
mining district, leads to the belief
that this was where the young man
was killed.
Mrs. Cornett is Chairman of the
Crabtree Auxiliary of the Red Cross
and takes a leading part in the work
in that section.
Dr. If. H. Ellis, chairman of the
Linn County Chapter, this afternoon
addressed the following letter to Mrs.
Cornett:

death of your son, who h- been
fighting the battles of his country in

assured that our hearts go out In full

to his young wife. He fought brave-
under the British flag, but we rec
