Colonel Leader Inspires Formation of
Eighteen Squads. Dressings
Made on Campus.
M. 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.

per that he is thinking quite serious
ly of opening a market here, provid
lng he can find suitable quarter. Ml.

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.
