Was his face red? Eventually Captain Wehle was acquitted by a court martial after the boys of Camp Bull Prairie tes tided in his favor. The mess hall was opened Wed nesday, July 12. Ice cream was a treat for the boys that evening. Your correspondent noticed that Louis Goodman and Hymie Blum berg, the two camp gold-brickers, suddenly awoke and showed plenty of speed in obtaining a portion of tnat delicious ice cream. Norman Minnick, one of the Pen dleton boys, was caught sleeping in tne same bed with a bull snake, And Anally, Russ Wright, one of the local boys, got an idea he was sergeant of the guard Sunday nignt. He appointed Jack Casteel as his corporal, and they proceed ed to police the tents to make sure that everybody was properly tuck ed in and unclothed. After step ping into the tent in which the lo cal boys sleep, they suddenly awoke after being doused with a bucket of water. What a nite! Several visitors on Sunday last took advantage of the invitation that had been extended to them through the courtesy of the Hepp ner Gazette Times. Consequently. this item has been prepared chiefly ior uie Denent or those who will come to see the camp and have a good time. Captain Hugh C. Parker. Lieut August Zaccor, and Lieut. Gar richt have full charge of the camp and its activities. They are re sponsible for the administration,, a: . .... 7 iceuing, nousing, sanitation and medical care of the boys On the other hand, W. E. O. Cri ger, camp superintendent, has full charge of the work projects. He is ably assisted by Mr. Davis, the senior foreman and fire chief of the camp. They are responsible tor tne designating, designing and supervising of the work. All these projects are directy in charge of trained loresters and skilled woods men who act as supervisors. The work of the boys will con sist mainly in the construction and maintenance of forest protection improvements. They include 40 miles of new truck trails to aid in the transportation of men and equipment to forest fires. And in addition to this number 40 miles will be maintained. The telephone crew will recon struct about 30 miles of woods tel ephone lines to speed up forest fire communication, and remove them to the roads; about 68 miles of drift or stock fence will be built; some springs will be recovered; steel and wood lookout towers to aid in the detection of forest fires will like wise be constructed, in addition to improvement work at ranger and guard stations. In addition to all these improve ments there will be jobs such as the cruising of 50,000 acres, as well as the destroying of rodents in a large area, and control work in bug-infested areas. Finally, since fire hazards con sist of various things, every camp visitor is urged by Mr. Criger to follow posted rules carefully. They are as follows: 1. Do not smoke' while traveling. 2. Always carry a bucket, shovel and axe when camping. 3. Get a permit from the forest guard before making a camp Are. 4. Always make sure your camp fire is completely out before leav ing.

On Friday, July 21, the voters of Oregon will vote upon several very Important measures. Every voter should strive to make up his or her mind and vote conscientiously up on each measure. Among the measures to be voted upon are the proposed 21st amendment to the United States constitution and the amendment to the state consitutlon repealing the prohibition amend ments. If you vote for either of the pro posed amendments on the ballot, you are voting against prohibition, for both amendments on the ballot are for repeal of prohibition. Hence, If you desire to sustain na tional prohibition and preserve the lHh amendment, vote 301 X No. I vote against the proposed amend ment. If you wish to vote to sus tain the state prohibition amend ments, vote 315 X No. I vote against the repeal of the law. The repeallsts are not offering a thing to take the place of prohibi tion. They can not agree among themselves. The people who ex pect to make money out of the liquor business are not concerned about what may take the place of I yiuuiuiuon ii it is repealed. They will take care of that later, you may be sure. Remember that the only argu ments offered by the wets are these:' Repeal will promote tem perance, reduce crime, and provide revenue to finance the government No thoughtful person believes for a moment that making It easier to obtain liquor will promote temper ance. As to reducing crime, why Is it that the records disclose that major crimes have steadily increas ed in number In Great Britain since the close of the war, notwith standing that liquor is sold every where and it is acknowledged that they have a most excellent system of law enforcement? It is not true that crime will be reduced. The record of other wet counties agrees with that of Great Britain. Repeal will, no doubt result in in creased revenue from liquor sales. But who will pay it? The greater part will be paid by the poor fel lows who are not able to pay it, and helpless women and little chil dren will suffer because fathers spend their money for liquor. Ev eryone who has a memory which goes back twenty years knows this is true. And it is the rich who will be relieved of taxes by this system. The only other argument used by the wets is that the law can not be enforced. To acknowledge that point is to admit that government by the people is a failure; that it was a mistake to spend all the treasure and blood to establish and maintain government by the peo ple, which has been so spent. Do not take such an, unpatriotic stand. And do lot surrender because the crowd may seem to be going the other way just now. Remember that the first battle of the Marne did not settle the World War. Remember that to vote dry, you should vote 301 X No and 315 X No. Also, remember to stand for "God and Home and Native Land." The Washington correspondent for the Oregonian says that the greater part of the beer being sold upon the market now contains only about 2 per cent of alcohol. The prohibition enforcement officers of this section of the country report that this is true of nearly all of the American made beer sold in this part of the country. This shows the dishonesty and trickery of the brewers. They are afraid that, if the 3.2 beer were sold In the open markets in quantity, the results would bring on a reaction which would defeat repeal. They know that 3.2 beer is intoxicating. They are trying to deceive the public by this trick. When the Collier bill was before congress, Senator Blaine claimed that the Central Control Board of Great Britain had reported, after exhaustive inquiry, that liquor containing 3.05 per cent by weight was not intoxicating. Now, the facts are that the British Govern ment holds that drinks "which con tain more than, two per cent of proof spirit" are intoxicating. And "proof spirit" is a mixture contain ing 49.28 per cent of alcohol by weight. Hence, it appears that drinks which contain only two per cent of "proof spirit," in fact con tain less than one per cent of al cohol. This shows the type of lies used by the forces seeking to re peal prohibition. The Central Board reports that of 1032 cases of drunkenness in vestigated in England in a period of three weeks, 45.4 per cent were attributed to beer alone, and that outside of London 50 per cent of the beer consumed in England and Wales averages less than 3.09 per cent by weight of alcohol. The average of all beers used in Eng land ana Wales is under 3.7 by weignt. One of our leading dailies de. plores the fact that the chances of a drunken driver to escape punish ment in cases appealed is six to one. This is startling, but It is true. It might appear on the face of the facts that the law against arunnen driving can not be en forced. Following the big and only argument tor the repeal of prohi bition, why does not someone pro pose to repeal the law againt aruniten driving? If we are con sistent, that is the natural thing lu uo. iet someone propose such a procedure, and the howl that would go up would be loud and long. However, it is not the driver who is visibly drunk who Is the most dangerous. It is the one whose "reaction time" is slowed down slightly. The American Medical Journal published an article from its British correspondent which stated that motor accidents are increasing in England and that the medical authorities are making a new stuoy of the "reaction time" of those who drink. -Thev have found that a single glass of whis- Key or a pint of beer may slow this down from two to four times be tween the time the image appears on tne retina of the eye and the response of the hand. Does any one beleive that making it easier io oDtain intoxicating liquor will reduce the number of persons who may come under this 'class of driv ers.' Certainly not. Vote: 301 X wo, and 315 X No. Nifty StiUihers Sewing Club, The meeting of the Niftv Stitch ers Sewing club was held at the home of the leader.

By using elevator, freight thresh ing, or bank deposit records, ad ministration officials believe that accurate estimates can be made. These figures turned in by each farmer are to be published In the local press. This is intended to encourage any carelessly inclined to be more accurate, as any boost ing of production reports so as to get a higher allotment tends to damage the neighbors rather than the government, as the county al lotment is fixed in advance. Believing that farmers will be anxious to avail themselves of the benefits under the new wheat plan, unauthorized promoters are al ready appearing and trying to "chisel in" on the farmers' expect ed returns, the government officials report In one state at least, and perhaps in others, farmers are being ap proached with the offer of help in making applications to receive cash benefits under the wheat plan for 10 per cent of the proceeds!

Cut Social Costs in Half Corvallis Students at Oregon State college cut their social costs more than in half last year without sacrificing anything essential in in teresting and wholesome social life, according to the annual report on such costs made by Dr. U. G. Du bach, dean of men. Members of the 57 fraternities, sororities and other living groups spent only a total of $5612.21 com pared with $13,251.61 the year pre vious for social events given by their organizations. The average cost per member was only $3.18 for the year, compared with $5.58 for the year previous and $7.15 two years ago. Dr. Dubach reports that students used their Ingenuity and initiative in giving excellent parties at low cost. His office encouraged holding many events so as to provide rec reation for ail on the campus rath er than depending on more expen sive commercial amusements. There may be no relationship, but the fact is that the students made this low-cost social record the same year that their scholastic average mounted to a new high point.
