E. Parsonage Is Painted. The parsonage of the M. E. church received a new dress of paint the past week at the hands of Bradford, the painter, and the building presents, a bright and clean appearance as a result. ' The parsonage is occupied by Rev. H. A. Noyes and family. Mr. Noyes speaks well of the work done by his congregation the past year. Improvements have been made to the church property amounting to near ly $800 and the other departments of the church work have been liberal ly supported. New concrete walks laid by the church constituted one of the large items of expense, and sui stantial additions to the church build ing in the way of Sunday school class rooms have also added much to the utility of the church and are proving a great convenience in carrying on the work. The pastor is well pleased with the results of the year's work along all lines. . University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan. 14. Eighteen squads, each contain ing fifty University women, were for med on January 7 at a mass meeting In Vlllard hall after an appeal made by Lieutenant-Colonel John Leader, head of. the department of military science, for a "home guard" of Red Cross worker. . "Be the army' behind the line," said the Colonel, in urging the adop tion of the squad system. .".Don't think that the work at home is not as Important as fighting at the, front. Remember that only three-tenths of the enlisted men get to the firing line. You can't go to the line, but these very necessary bandages and com presses can. It is Impossible to Bend toq many, for the soil in the war cone Is so steeped in poison that the slight test scratch will bring Infection if an antiseptic compress is not used. "Thus you can 'help your men in pain and . danger," he continued. "They do not fear the danger, but the women at home know that each hour death takes its toll of men because of Improper care and lack of sup plies." It is the opinion of Colonel Leader that the biggest demand for Red Cross supplies will come in the next six weeks. "You women must meet the need. I estimate that there will be another year of hard fighting and two more years of cleaning up." The Y. W. C. A. bungalow, adjoin ing the campus, has been equipped as a work room in which some of the eighteen squads will fold compresses every afternoon under the direction of Instructors from the Eugene head quarters. The room is fitted with long tables covered with oilcloth and trays lined with gauze In which to place the finished bandages to avoid unnecessary handling. Before enter ing the work room, each girl must don the regulation Red Cross uni form, a long sleeved white apron and head covering. 1 Guyle Sliurte Has Charge of Fever Patients. In a letter received the past week by the home folks, Guyle E. Shurte states that he is on duty at the Base Hospital at Vancouver Barracks. He has been given charge of a number of scarlet fever patients and the en tire bunch are, of cours, In quaran tine, where they will have to remain for some time. Mr. Shurte is quite well pleased so far with the hospital service, but states that he envies the boys who are able to get out on the parade grounds each day and go through with the training. It is cer tainly putting them In fine physical condition. While in Portland recent ly, Mrs. Shurte called on Guyle but could only visit htm at a distance, as he was in quarantine at that time. Will Farm With Tractor. Arthur Dykstra arrived home the first of the week from Portland. He has been in the city for the past two weeks, receiving instructions and learning how to run a tractor en gine. Mr. Dykstra recently purchased from Vaughn & Sons, automobile and Implement dealers of this city, a large J. I. Case tractor of the latest model and expects the machine to arrive soon.- He will take it out to the farm and make use of It In doing his farm work. He believes that the tractor will be a general purpose machine on the farm, but will use It move partic ularly in running his harvesting ma chinery. May Open Market Here, C. W. McNamer, who conducts meat market at lone, was In Heppner over Saturday and lnforoms this pa per that he is thinking quite serious ly of opening a market here, provid lng he can find suitable quarter. Ml. McNamer has been doing business in lone for newly two years past, hav ing taken over the business In that city of Henry Holgate. Should he start up business in Heppner, Mr. Mc Namer states he will have the same In charge of a very competent man here, and will continue the business In lone. METHOD OF PAYING OUR DRAFT BOARD CHANGED GILLIAM & BISBEE are prepared to furnish the farmers and stockgrowers with all kinds of machinery and extras for their 1918 equipment. There is going to be a shortage of extras and we would advise go ing over all machinery NOW and ordering all the extras you will need this season arid have alt machinery adjusted and ready for use when the time comes to use it. ' Take our word for it, if you wait until the extras are needed you may not be able to get them. There will be no time to waste in 1918 Morrow County Boy Now in France, C. W. Valentine received word from Walla Walla a few days since that his son, Willie, had safely land ed In France with a contingent of the American army that had left for the front some weeks ago. Willie enlist ed at Walla Walla early in the season and is counted from Washington as he happened to be working there at the time. Portland, Or., Jan. lf. A sweep ing change in the method of compen sating members of local draft boards selective service law has just been or for their work in connection with the dered by the Provost Marshal Gener al at Washington. Instead of being paid for their work at the rate of $1.00 per hour has been the case they are to he paid on a unit basis. That Is at a cer tain specified rate for every man to whom a questionnaire has been sent by the board and whose final classi fication has been made. Thirty cents per man classified for each board has been fixed as the rate of compensation. In ordering this change In the method of compensation the Provost Marshal General has emphasized par ticularly the fact that many board members and in many cases entire board are giving their services to the Government without any compensa tion whatsoever. To these patriotic officials the Gov ernment has expressed Its deep appre ciation of their services. But unfortunately It is explained, other board members have turned In claims that are felt to be extravagant. So high are these claims in the aggre gate that they total more money than Congress could be expected to appro priate, or the poeple to approve, for that purpose. The decision to change the method of compensation by placing It on a flat unit basis of 30 cents per man classified for each board was largely Influenced, the Provost Marshal Gen eral explains, by the urgent sugges tions of many board members them selves who felt keenly the erroneous losltion in which they were placed by the heavy claims of other board mem bers. Any board member who desires to give his services to the Government may still do so under the new regula tlos. Furthermore, it is provided that any board may, by unanimous wtt, arrange that one member, or two members of the board, may receive the compensation, though in such rase no two members may receive more than 25 cents per man class! fled', or If only one member Is to be comnensated. he shall not receive more than 15 cents per man classified.
