the Greatest Oakland Virtue
The owner of an Oakland Sensible Six never fears to
put his car in competition with another.
He knows that the car he drives is equal to any demand
he may put upon it that performance is its greatest
virtue.
The high-speed overhead-valve engine of this Oakland
Sensible Six delivers at 2600 r. p. m. one full horse
power to every 48 pounds of car weight.
No motor in the world carries less weight per horse,
power than this none is spryer, more efficient, more
saving. ' .
With a speed range of from 1 to 55 miles an hour and
trigger-quick acceleration, it is still very economical.
It delivers from 18 to 25 miles on every gallon of gaso
line, and its even power draws the greatest possible mile-
age from the Oakland's oversize tires.
We know you will like this new Oakland for its com.
forvits ability and its value. The price is 1200.

To the Editor ot The Gazette-Times:
Oear Sir:
Having received several letters
from the children of Hard man, and
not having the time at my command
to answer them individually, I am
taking the liberty of asking you to.
print the enclosed letter which I have
written to them all.
As ever your friend,
GLENN R. HADLEY. .
To the Hardman School Children:
I have received so many letters
from you children that I will answer
them through the Old Home Paper.
I have heard all about what you have
been doing to help win the war going
without sugar, buying war savings
stamps; and I suppose you will all try
to raise a garden this summer. Food
Is what the allies need more than
anything else. .
The height of my former glory was
to roam with a free heart from the
John Dav to tbe Columbia River. I
knew no other life but that and at the
time it seemed good enough for me,
for that was home. But not that
realm 6f greatness and grandeur has
faded to a mere dot. My world has
ereatlv enlarged sisce I left you child
ren at Hardman. For now I have
crossed the continent, and who knows
hnw soon. I will have crossed the
broad Atlantic. I have witnessed the
handicraft of man, in the assemblage
nf the ereat fighting machinery, of
the manner and methods that have
nnrfected this elorious Republic.
. Our forefathers fought so that the
rlslne generation could enjoy that lib
Artv bo aweet. so that Old Glory could
wav over a free land: but the rights
of the American people have been
scorned by the Prussian group, so
there was nothing else to do. Either
we had to back down like cowards or
flht for the rlehts of humanity. Of
roiirsA our President chose the latter.
We must all fight with him, and it
need be, die for the rights for which
we are fighting.
We will win in the end, for victory
we will have, and Old Glory will float
nnnn a victorious field someday. But
don't lpt vourselves believe that this
struggle is close to an end. Steel
your hearts for the many hiooay Dai'
tloa vot tn cnmft and give to your gov
ernment every bit of your strength to
sustain the lighting force. But no
mutter how wild the storms, eternal
.aim shall' come at last. When war-
fore is aecomolished, the enemies sub
than wa shall return to our
homes and to our friends, to watch
children erow to man
ViaaH An A womanhood, enjoying the
privileges of a free country under the
skies of an everlasting peace.
With love to you all,
Pvt. GLENN R. HADLEY.

Portland, March 16 Communities
are beginning to complain that on ac
count of the inequality of the distri

being slowly but persistently forced
into community bankruptcy and are
In danger of being branded as slack
ers through their inability to meet
their apportionment of war subscrip
tions as s shown by the following par
agraph from a letter from a promin
ent banker of Southern Oregon to R.
N. Stanfleld:
"I am especially pleased with your
vigorous statement in regard to get
ting more of the government money
spent in Oregon for supplies. In this
part of the state we are. especially
hard hit, because we have very little
to sell, and have subscribed very lib
erally to all war activities as well as
the rest ot the state. The money has
been sent out tor the subscriptions,
and unless some of it comes back, we
will in the near future be unable to
fill our quotas and be branded as
slackers. Our one principal Industry,
the growing of fruit, has been Injured
rather than benefitted by the war.
We have timber resources here, but
thus far there has not been much en
couragement locally for devoloplng
this."

Portland Telegram.
On Board Secretary Baker's Spe
cial Train in France, Sunday, March
17. "While we are busy at home,"
said Newton D. Baker, the American
secretary of war, in a talk to officers
at the American staff school today,
"with our industrial preparations and
training of troops, our hearts are
transplanted to France. My visit has
brought me a great uplift in spirit.
As a boy takes apart a watch to see
how it is made in order to understand
the functions of Its parts, I have been
taking this army apart."
Mr. Baker is making important de
cisions in France upon such questions
as in his judgment require immediate
action. He Is gathering knowledge
for future use upon many aspects of
the situation of the American army
but problems pressing for a settle
ment he settles on the spot.
When the secretary's train came
into the aviation region the sky was
darkly overcast and the clouds were
of a blue-gray color, which the avia
tion observers say constitutes the fin
est background for seeing air work.
Many monoplanes and biplanes await
ed the secretary's arrival upon the
field, then with a rush one after an
other took the air until toward the
end of the morning 100 machines
were in flight, and every machine was
driven by an American. Individual
aviators practiced maneuvers used In
combat, such as reversing the direc
tion of the flights by turning edge
wise upon one wing, spinning in nose
dives. Then there were evolutions in
flotilla formations of five; after that
in squadrons of IS.
"With all these machines In the
air," remarked a French officer, "we
see no more than a tenth of what
America has in this one school. You
will soon have no more need for
French instruction. We have shown
everything we know, and your young
men have taken to the art with aston
ishing facility as well as audacity,
nerve and resources. The danger and
difficulties fascinate and Inspire them.
It must be what you call the sport
ing spirit."
Secretary Baker discussed with va
rious of the aviators themselves the
