Mra. R. K. Houatun, who live on

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.

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

W. 15. 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

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
