But will you be ready for what
ever happens when peace comes?
Will you have something laid away?
We’re all hoping there'll be jobs
aplenty, jobs which mean making
something for somebody's happi
ness and not for somebody’s sor
row. That's where your War Bonds
come Into the picture. Sure. Amer

Bonds now; and before this 4th War
Loan ends they will have put away
billions more. But how about you?
You’re the one that counts. The
bigger the pile of War Bonds you
have when peace comes, the big-

So "Let’i AU Back the Attack.”

The day was dark and stormy,
The boys were working hard,
To get back to the Roundhouse
To finish their game of cards.
The train was charging down the
track.
They were almost to the crossing,
When Bowen loomed up in his car,
Another job in the offing.
The office on the hill
Wasn’t using their brains.
They were still phoning in
Their one car trains.
They’d given Cox an order
To pull one car.
He’d hung it on the hook
And left it right thar.
Bowen couldn’t find it.
And was looking al around,
When Berry came to work
Bowen was fit to be found.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
«T IFE” was the subject of
L Lesson - Sermon in
the
all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, January 16.
The Golden Text was, “This is
the record, that God hath given
to us eternal life, and this life
is in his Son” (I John 5:11).
Among the citations which
comprised the Lesson-Sermon
was the following from the Bible:
“How excellent is thy loving
kindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put their trust
under the shadow of thy wings.
For with thee is the fountain of,
life: in thy light shall we see
light” (Ps. 36:7, 9).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cluded the following correlative
passages from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, “Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Be
cause Life is God, Life must be
eternal, self-existent. Life is the
everlasting I am, the Being who
was and is and shall be. whom
nothing can erase” (p. 289).

UNIT IS ACTIVE
A new bulletin just issued by Ore-
gin State college on “Household Equip
ment—Its Care and Simple Repair,”
has just been received at the office of
the Home Demonstration agent in
Pendleton. The bulletin has been
prepared by Agricultural Engineers
and Home Management Specialists at
Oregon State college with the thought
to aid homemakers in conserving
household equipment. It is free for
the asking from the office of the
Home Demonstration agent.
Oregon State college is again ac
cepting pressure cooker gauges for
testing, announces Myrtle Carter,
home demonstration agent. As it is
recommended that all guages be test
ed every two years, homemakers are
urged to remove the gauge from the
cooker, attach the name and address
(adhesive tape suggested) and bring
it to the office of the Home Demon
stration agent in Pendleton, or assis-
