' When he returned homo it was thought that despite a very lame hip, lie would he able to be around again within two weeks. But continued ' soreness in the hip caused his attend ing nhysicinn to order his removal to the Sacred Heart hospital Tuesday, where an X-ray examination was made, which disclosed that the hip was broken in two places. The hip was placed in a plaster cast and it is hoped that it may ulti mately heal up nicely by this nrocess. If it does not. the hip will have to be . broken over again. In any event, Mr. Boyl will prob ably be confined to bed in the hos pital for the next six weeks. His friends cannot understand why the nature of this serious injury was not discovered in the Hoseburg hospital, where he was confined for two weeks after the accident. boats spend more time undor water' ttum formerly. There is not so much destruction of ships by gunfire and bombs as formerly. The augmented destroyer patrol has made the sub marines use up more torpedoes with the result that they have to return to their base more frequently for. reloading. FIRST KILLING There was a heavy frost last night which killed all iomatoes that were unprotected, and also put an end to the cucumbers in the valley. An other killing frost is predicted for tonight. The temperature fell to 2fi'j de grees, ttie lowest ot the season, ac cording to the offirial weather bu reau thermometer on top of the Gur-nett-Corey building. It is thought, however, thut in parts of 'the valley the temperature fell to 2.5 degrees, altho :io report.; of outside tempera tures were received at the weather bureau. So cold was it last night and this morning that ice was formed in wa ter troughs and shallow pools. Corn is about ripe, and the frost did no damage to it, according to 'ounty Pathologist fate, who also ays that apples escaped uninjured. In fact, the frost did the apples good, it is claimed, fur it will aid in iving them color. v . Altho he has donned the uniform of a "sea soldier" only since May 5 last, Kdwin K. llcrmanson, a Mcdford boy serving in the United States marine corps, has already qualified as sharpshooter, winning the coveted medal and an increase of pay. He won his spurs at the recent Port lioyul, S. C, shooting trials, after ex perts had put him and fellow mar ines thru a series of training at the various island camps. During this training I lie men arc taught the fine points and "moods" of the Springfield so that by the time that the range is reached thev tlioroly understand the rifle Then follow lessons ill the art of maintaining correct positions for shooting and the judging of distance each man being coached by an indi viduid instructor. This personal tutelage creates a keener interest amongst men being coached, range experts say. It is an open secret that thou sands of marines are now ill France ready to take their stand in the cause for democracy, and the local 'boy will be well prepared when the imes conies to join them. He is the son of Charles llcrmanson. of Mcd ford, and joined the marine corps in Detroit, Mich. . OESEL ISLE CAPTURED (Continued trom fage On.) atively good weather in the area cast of Ynres. where the British steam roller is pushing its way thru the German lines. Thus the British avi ators apparently have been able to collect sufficient information to en able their artillery to puisne its work with its usual precision and telling effect, while the mud fields presum ablv have dried out. In admission of possible activity. significance was contained ill til German statement on the Macedonian front situation, received late last night, several villages in the Struma region on the right lank of the allied lines northeast of Saloniki have been 'ceiled" bv the Bulgarians to the British, Berlin announces. There has been notable patrol ac tivitv bv the entente armies in Mace Ionia recently, and it seems possible that some aggressive use is finally to lie made of the luce force the al lies have had assembled there for many months. U-BOAT MENACE MASTERED (Continued rrum page 1.) Jeast one encounter with a submarine, while some of the more fortunate ones have stalked two or three un der-water craft. At no time, have the submarines shown fight. They always avoid a meeting. The depth charges are feared most by the U-hoat commanders. These weapons) as announced recently by the American navy department, are high explosives, timed to exptade by water pressure at the desired depth Naval officers lpake no secret of the effectiveness of this new found antl dote for the submarine. ; The wide cruising radius of the American boats also has helped to produce unmistakable signs of weakening In the mornle of the tJ boat crews.

Stirred to action by the criticism of tlio puritans who would deprive the soldier of his customary coifi- fort of n smoko after a hard day's training or fighting in the trenches-, Edison Marshall, the rising young au thor, whose stories are rated among the best of the day and are u famil inr feature of the Saturday Evening Post, the' American and numerous other periodical, writes as follows to tne iMuu iriiuine: To the Editor:' Enclosed you will find my little contribution to the tobacco fund can't imagine anyone In this age being intolerant and unchristian enoagh to want to deprive our soldiers, fighting the fight ot tolerance and Christian ity, of the one thing that makes life in the trenches tolerable at all. It Is Just about the limit. Some one changed water Into wine once, they should remember, so to make youth happy. And 1 doubt if the Bi ble was ever nut to a use that bet ter pleased the spirit of tol erance and magnanimity that Is our Inspiration In this -war than when gallant Frenchman tore out the leaves of atllttle copy to make fag papers for his comrades, the nerves of whom were breaking down before a bom bardment by the Germans. I don't happen lo wlrk for a tobac co company. I called the weed the greatest gift of nature, and I believe It Is In. war time, anyway. More over, it Is very hard to find figures to prove that tobacco des any real Injury to a full-grown maa. It used to be common to enscribo anything that gave comfort In the world to the devil; and a little of this ihedleval spirit seems to linger, even in thlB land that hates medievalism enough to go to war against It. Let them raise a smoke over there that will obscure as much as possible of the horror and discomfort of the trenches there will be enough left, goodness knows! The press never did a better service than to turn Its huge power toward securing this kindly, benevolent, soul-satisfying weed for our soldiers In France. Yours sincerely, EDISON MARSHALL-.

You know how glad you are to get back to 'your own brand' after you've tned some other kind of a smoke, or when you couldn't get your favorite one. , ' Our boys in France are having. a hurt! time trying to get any satisfac tion 'out' Of French tobacco.

TO ASSIST WAR Interest In the Liberty bond cam paign should not dampen enthusi asm for "Hoover's drive'' to con serve the food supplies of the nation. These two movements so hand-In-hand, and it is Just as necessary to have the food as it Is to give our money. The food campaign Is necessarily a comparatively quiet one, as tlio work is conducted largely thru the schools, but no family should fail to enlist In the nation's food conser vation army by signing the pledge card and living up to Its obligations faithfully tbruout the war. A simi lar campuign already carried out In Canada has resulted In ml indicated saving of nearly one-half of the for mer average wheat consumption with out Inflicting privation on any Cana dian family, as the work has been ac complished by substituting other foods for wheat.
