The ninny friends of Robert ISoyl,
'vjcll-knowji bookkeeper und salesman
of. the Mnson-Khrinun company, who
was injured in an auto nceidejit near
Iiosebnrg several weeks ago, and who
was only aide to return home last
Saturday, will regret to learn that he
was more seriouslv hurt than was
generally known. '
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.

Stirred to action by the criticism

Edison Marshall, the rising young au

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

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.

TO ASSIST WAR

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
