OVER THE TOI' Now in Hospital with injuries Received During Scrap Mra. R. K. Houatun, who live on rout aix out of Albany, ha received a letter 'from her on, Sergeant A. Kvana llouaton, who ia with the OSth runipany, Mh regiment, V. S. marine, in France. Sergeant llouaton, who i a grad uate uf Alliany high school and of the Univeraity of Oregon, tells of going over the tup three limes, and has the experience of getting a Dutchman. He a at pnaent in a huapital recovering from wuunda received. Hi wrial-watch ha arrived home alto. It atem haa been ahot off bv a Hun bullet while Sergeant llouaton Aa in action. The letter followa: Dear Mother: Well, I'll (cratch off a few linea thia morning to let you now I'm feeling fine and atlll all in nu piece. 1 euppoaa you have een bv Ihe papers where we have been mnk- a big drive and I'm glad to aav 1 went over t e bp in the livliest little fiucaa I ever attended. I got out in iroud ahupe although 1 got hit on the f'Kt and the finger with piece of rock l':ruwn up by a bursting shell, and n.iw in the hoapitul near Faria. ilut I never got my appetite hurt a hit a..d I alrep aa hard as if I were at home. I can ran about everywlxre and will be out of the hoapitul in a week. All in all I got off lucky and am niw due for a good long reat and it ceitainly feels good to get cleaned uo aain. Up to Liat nitrht I had not had my ahues off for II du nor a change f und'-rel'jthe for a month. J ou re member how I used to hate to get un in the morning well, I'm not bother ed that way anymore for the simple reaaon that I havent been going to Ix-d but have been marching all night or fighting and only sleeping when there waa nothing else to do. We ad vanced o fust that we gut o far ahind of our field kitchen that thev nil I not catch ua and I had to shoot Dutchman to make him divide his ratioi.s with me -divide is not exactly the word as I too kali he had because he'll have WARM rations where he went. After till I went through I find my- elf fortunate to tie lieck in the hos pital where it is. clean and there is lois of chow. When I hit this place I had not enten a meal except three pieces of hardtack for 72 hours and Ihe first meal was only an appetizer. I went out of the meas tent and walk d around it and bark in again for an other try at it. When that was fin ished I went to the next mess tent and went through that one and began to feel by that time that I had had a bite to eat. I am nearly caught up now and expect to catch up by dinner to day. Well, Mother, I must close before this letter get too long. I am being treated fine by the Red Cross and am in absolutely no danger nor do I ever xpect to go In agliin a this drive will be over before I get back to my com pany and the spirit of the Germans seem broken and prisoners say the end of the war ia nenr. Whatever you do dont worry about me as I'm well able to take ears of myself and I'm coming back home in good shnjie. I have been over tho too three times and am confident that I'm scheduled to get out of this war O. K. So, solong EVANS. Address, Sgt. R. E. Houston, 66th Co., fah Regt, U. S.

TEAM RAN AWAY EARLY THIS MORNING Wells Farjco Steed Takes Spring Down Ellsworth; No Damage Is Done Starting back of iloraky ' harness hup earlv thia morning the big horse of th Wells Fargo Co. took a spin aruund several blocks and attracted some attention among th few people on the street at the time. The driver had left. the horse standing with the wagon while he took a bridle into the shop to be mended. Having run awav two or three times Itefore, the animal concluded to keep in practice, and at once took advantage of the absence of the driver. Running down Ells worth street, he turned around several block, until near Second and Elli wurth street, where he ran his wagon into a curb, fell down and was cap tured. Fortunately neither the horse nor express wagon was damaged. In these days of auto traffic runaways are nut common affairs. HOME SERVICE DOES GOOD WORK Red Cross Issues Statement Showing Extent of Work Accomplished The war council of the A. R. C. is sues the following statement regard ing the work done by the Home Serv ice department, which now has 50,000 men and women serving in ita 10,000 local committees. An executive staff of 2M ia supervising the work of these committees. Seven thousand people have attended special training lecture courses to fit themselves for this work and many are full time volunteer sec retaries. Mure than 300,000 families of Amer ican men have been relieved of monev troubles, legal difficulties, household A'orric and depressing loneliness. The expenditure has been $400,000 per month. This money wa raised bv local communities and reserved from the nmount contributed to the nation al Red Cross war fund. "Money, the least valuable contribu ion of the American Red Cross home aervue to community weitare amounted to tl.500.000 during tin- first six months of 1918 and will ex- eed $4,000,000 for the second half of the year. By January 1, lu19. the A. S. C. will have spent in this work 000,000, and will be carrying a burden it $1,000,000 a month." rf More important than the money are the problems which arise from sick ness, worry, backward, unruly child ren, mental depression, and sometimes a .mere longing for the man gone away. Each week about 60,000 in quiries, as to why soldiers or sailors dependent are not receiving their money from the war risk insurance bureau, are investigated, many times successfully pushing through allot ments or allowances. This service extend to the war lone too. Wherever men are under mili tary crviee they arc In t mch prac tically all of the time with home serv ice representatives. Twenty or more inquiries are cabled daily from France to American com munities and at least 100 more come in each day's mail to national head iiuarters. "There is no possible contribution to the wclfnre of fighter's families that Home Service workers are not m dertaking to make. The work has enlisted the help of all creeds and race and ia extending aid to every person who will accept it regardless of rank, religion, or color. It is not charity but only thnt ncighborliness which is due every fighter from the people of the whole United States.' Other reports of the use for which the MOO.OOO.OOO war fund was expended will be issued Inter. Miss Elizabeth Cosper is the home service represent ntivc for Linn county.

W ilson, Secretary of Labor Sends Labor Day Message to the Fighters in the Home Trenches Ily W. B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor This Labor Day find America at the greatest crisis In history. The Nation is engaged in the greatest war the world has ever seen, and upon the result of this war will depend the fate of humanity fur centuries. We have sent a great army abroad to cooperate with the armies of our :llies. Our navy ia clearing the seas of the German submarines. Our men in blue and khaki have won glory bv many heroic deeds; they have helped o inflict upon the foe a crushing de feat which, we hope, may prove the turning-point of the war. But whether it doe prove ueh de pend a much upon those who remain at home a upon those who go abroad to fight. We have no fears f ;r our icldiers in France, provided we can eep them well fed, well clothed and properly equipped; they have already; shown themselves more tnan the equal . of the Kaiser's best troops. L'pon this day, of all days, we must onaider seriously the problem before s at home. We must maintain our armies in the field at the top-notch , it'hting strength, and we must sup- ; ply the needs of our allies and the ' starving people of Belgium. ; This is a day on which labor must consecrate itself to a great task the I task of winning the war. For this tremendous duty halfway measures ; Aill not suffice. There must be ab solute loyalty and devotion to the na- i '.ion's cause these, I believe, our peo ple have already ahown beyond a 'lUL-stion. But more than this, there , must he a clear understanding of the I .'reat need, and a new determination I CITY NEWS Siven-Pound Boy A baby boy weighing seven pounds wa-s born yesterday to ilr. and Mr. Edward F. McNeil, on West Ninth street. Has Baby Girl- Born to Mr. and Mrs. William Hol oway, at 1 o'clock Sunday, a babv irl. to be named Juanita Marcell. Weight, four and one-half pounds. YUitinf Here Miss Mamie Montgomery, of Port land, is in this city for a visit of several days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Dannals. Left for Crater Lake- Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Smith. Miss Vo- iena Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Archie Hammer left today in the Smith car for Southern Oregon, where they will visit the Crater Lake National Park. rmy Paper Received The Democrat acknowledges with thanks the receipt of an army paper from D. H. Brennerman. The name of the publication is "Going Over" and it is published at the embarkation point on the Atlantic Coast. France must Import sugar today, mat of It from this aide, of the ocean, because the largest portion of French sugar beet land Is In German hands, Aa result the French people have been placed on a sugar ration of about IS pounds a year for domestic use; a pound am' a halt a month. Thia photograph -hows bow the Gertuuu to gratify it Maximum production is the goal for which we must strive. With everv workman giving his utmost strength and willpower, we shall attain it. The teak will not be easy, nor the effort small; but we have no choice. To save all that we hold dear, we must work, work, work for the boys in France and the allies. One phrase sums it up: "Work as you would fight." The coal miners are doing that They have produced the greatest amount of coal in history, despite the heavy loss of men through enlistment. Many records have been broken in shipbuilding. Great industrial plants are producing material for the armv at unprecedented speed. The Nash ville powder plant, the greatest in the world, was completed three months ahead of time. One workman made a record bv driving 4375 riveta in one day. Onl a short time afterward, vie mark was passed by another who drove 5,000. Now we are told that workman has driven 6,000 rivets in one day. Such deeds as these show the spirit that animates our people and have served as examples to stimulate the whole great body of Americana to nobler tasks. The glory of it all is that labor has visualized the needs of our armies and our people and ita own relation tc those necessities. Labor accepts that responsibility enthusiastically, loyally. With our splendid army on the bat tlefields of Europe, reinforced by an efficient industrial army in America, militarism is doomed to defeat. De mocracy will be triumphant on earth MAN HOT HARD T(T ANALYZE Observation Will Enable One to Dete nine the Qualities Which Will Make Him Valuable. The qualities that go to make np a man are tremendously complex and yet It Is possible by dose scrutiny and ki-n observation to analyze a man and understand him more clearly than be j Arcs himself. There are certain enrdi I mil mental and phrsical characteristic I whlcb can be determined by a visual eiitmlnation made by an exp.rt. In like mauner can be determined the . aulnxprlne; of the man as exemplified In what we ordinarily consider the , various parts of his will, or those fac , tors which govern his actions. The , practical application of the studies taken together with his exert en ee and history Is then apparent. Knowing hit Taiioos physical and mental character istics and his experience, we know j what sort of work he Is able to da Knowing his will and what might be termed spiritual characteristics, we I know what he will do, provided sur rounding circumstances permit. With this In mind we would place each one of our present or new employees at snch work as he Is best able to do, and we see that this Is not necessarily that which he has always done, although In general It does have a more or less close relation with that.
