SECOND THRIFT
DAYADVANCES
FEBRUARY 3 IS DATE DESIGNATED
Entire Nation Will Be Called Upon to
Save Good Tune to Begin
Buying War Stamps
The first national thrift day. Febru
ary 3, last year, while it created wide
interest that resulted in much good,
will be far overshadowed by the second
annual observation of the day set aside
for the purpose of promoting saving
and economy on the approaching third
day of February. Formerly men and
women were taught to be thrifty for
their own protection and benefit. Dur
ing the past eight months they have
been urged to conserve the nation's
wealth and resources not only for the
advancement of their own welfare, but
as a patriotic duty.
.since last April means have been
provided to assist every man or
woman, who desires to do so, in sav
ing has money and atthe same time
lending financial assistance to the gov
ernment in carrying on the burden of
the great war. The two issues of lib
erty bonds have been offered and over
subscribed, and now the small invest
ors of the country are in the process of
purchasing $2,000,000,000 worth of war
savings stamps.
Ihese So securities that may be
bought at a certain discount, which
will decrease one cent each month
throughout the year, are making an
appeal to the small investor. . Many a
live dollars that formerly has been in
vested in passing pleasures and extrav
agances has already gone into the pur
chase of these small securities. And
before the year is ended, it is pre
dicted by those in touch with the pulse
of the small investors, the huge' total
will be oversubscribed, sot the man
or woman who hertorore has never
considered the value of thrift, its
necessity in this period of the country's
crisis, February 3 would be a good day
on which to make a resolution to join
the ranks of American savers, soldiers
of thrift whose efforts will be of vital
assistance in winning the battle against
the kaiser.
Thrift day of 1918 is going to be
observed sincerely by the American
millions. Those who have already
learned of the great lessons of the
war, the lesson oi thrut, are going to
pass it long to their brothers and
sisters. War has its terrible costs but
it also brinirs recompense. This lesson
of thrift is one of the recompenses.
Its good will last down through the
ages.

FOR DRAFT ELIGIBLES
government had a list of meteorolo
gists, so the call was filled and the
men sent without delay.
Similar calls for specialists in other
lines are being made continually. It
is imperative that the war depattment
have a complete card index. listing for
example all the carpenters, the me
chanics, the blacksmiths, the account
ants and so on, so that at a moment's
notice the men required can be called
out by consultation of the index.
Every teacher in Oregon who will
volunteer to help in this work should
present himself or herself immediately
to his or her local board.
THIRTY FAIL TO
REPORT ON TIME
Government appeal agents are di
rected, in an order just issued by the
provost marshal general at Washing
ton, to appeal to a district board every
case where a draft registrant who has
married since May 18, 1917, has been
granted deferred classification by his
local board on account of being
married.
This does not mean that the govern
ment is seeking to revoke deferred
classifications granted to men who
have married since May 18, 1917. The
main purpose of the order, it is an
nounced, is to obtain uniformity of
action in handling applications for de
ferred classification by men who have
married since the selective draft law
went into effect.
At the same time district boards will
give careful scrutiny to each such case.
If local boards appear to have been to
lenient in their interpretation of the
regulations in this connection, reversal
of their ruling may be expected by the
district board before which the case is
taken, or the case may be sent back to
the local board for additional evidence.
Here is the language of the regula
tions in regard to men who have mar
ried since the law became effective :
"On May 18, 1917, every person sub
ject to registration had notice of his
obligation to render military service to
his country. I he purpose of the selec
tive service law was not to suspend
the institution of marriage among
regitsrants, but boards should scrutin
ize marriages since May 18, 1917, and
especially those hastily effected since
that time, to determine whether the
marriage relation was entered into
with a primary view of evading mili
tary service, and unless such is found
not to be the case boards are hereby
authorized to disregard the relation
ship so established as a condition of
dependency requiring deferred classi
fication under these regulations."
With the time limit for the return of
questionnaires up last Friday, the ex
emption board recorded 29 registered
locally as delinquent, lhe names of
those who had not returned their ques
tionnaires and from whom the board
has had no word jsre as follows : She

Yakic, Mike Tidos. Albert Eberhard,

S. Namba.
The following list of men, whose
questionnaires have not been returned,
are in some branch of the service. The
exemption board has asked that their
parents or others knowing of their
whereabouts appear before the board
and inform the board by affidavits:

Two of the 30 Hood River men listed
as delinquent in returning their ques
tionnaires to the local exemption board
have responded. Russell Kelly is no
slacker, as was feared. Writing from
L Tex as point, where he is a member of
British aviation squadron in training,
young Kelly returns his questionnaire
properly filled out. Oscar . Mranahan
has written from Portland to the effect
that his- questionnaire was delivered
to him too late to be returned here on
time.
While he has not returned his ques
tionnaire, it has been learned that
William Hall listed as a delinquent, is
now in the service in an aviation
squadron at Vancouver Barracks.
The local exemption board has in
ducted Waldo Mills, an East Side
orchardist into the service as member
of the third University of Oregon Ord
nance class.
Thirty five men of Class I have been
notified to appear before the exemp
tion board Thursday for physical ex
aminations. County Health Officer
Edgington will have associated with
him in the examination work Drs.
F. C. Brosius and Dr. E. O. Dutro.
TEACHERS ARE ASKED
TO VOLUNTEER
Every school teacher in Oregon is
asked by the government to volunteer
for urgent and important work in the
execution of the selective service law
in this state.
The same call is being made of
teachers in every state. So urgent is
the need of their assistance that Presi
dent Wilson himself has addressed a
letter to all teachers asking them to
give their services for the very lm
portant work required.
This work is to help local draft
boards compile immediately a complete
card index showing the special qualifi
cations of every man they hav classi
fied under the draft law.
This information must be had by the
government at once, because calls for
men specially qualified lor certain du
ties are received from the army every
day. Local boards are too busy mak
ing classifications to do the work.
The persons best fitted of all others
to perform this patriotic task are the
school teachers and they are now asked
to volunteer their services to their re
srjective local boards.
The work will not be hard or exact
ing. No teacher will be asked to give
more than a few hours lor a lew days,
But speed and accuracy are required
The questionnaire of every man who
has been classified must be exargped
and information as to his qualificavns
for special duties transcribed on a
ne roared card.
A short time ago General Pershing
called for a number of trained meteor
i ologists to be hurried to France. The

CANADIANS COM
ING FEBRUARY 3
WOUNDED OFFICERS TO TELL STORY
Patriotic Mass Meeting Called to Hear
Message of Men Who Have Done
Their Bit in Trenches
Sunday afternoon. February 3. at
the Asbury Methodist church the
people of Hood River will be given the
privilege of hearing the story of the
great European war against German
autocracy from the lips of three
wounded Canadian officers who have
seen active service in the trenches.
The visitors. Lieutenant Colonel Mac
millan, Major F. B. Edwards and
Captain E. J. Cook, are now making
tour of the state under the auspices of
the Oregon National Council of De
fense. The meeting will be in charge
of the Hood River Defense Council,
chairman of which is W. A. Isenberg.
The program will be interspersed
with musical numbers, and patriotic
songs will be sung bv the entire as
semblage. The distinguished and vali
ant visitors will be introduced bv
Mayor Dumble.
Lieut.-Lol. MacMillan served with
the Seventh Battalion. First British
Columbia Regiment, enlisting August
4, 1914, the date of the declaration of
war. He went overseas with the first
Canadian division. Among the great
engagements in which he participated
are Neuve Chapelle. the second battle
of Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy, the
operations before Messines and the
aomme.
He was recalled to England as as
sistant director of transport, and pro
moted to major, later receiving ap
pointments as assistant director of
supply and transport of Canadians,
with the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
He is now on furlough. Maj. Edwards
was a lieutenant in the Canadian mili
tia regiment, 30th British Columbia
Horse, at the outbreak of war. When
the regiment arrived in Flanders it
went into the trenches in the Ploeg
steert sector, followed by service at
Hill t3.
When the regiment was reorganized
to an infantry batallion, it was trans
ferred to the Ypres salient. Maj.
Edwards, then a captain, was wounded
for the first time during the Sanctuary
Wood action, being shot in the hip.
Upon his return to his regiment it was
moved to the Somme. At Regina
trench the gallant officer was wounded
for tne last time and permanently
retired from active service. The price
he paid was the loss of both arms, torn
off by high explosives.
He has now- been returned to Canada
for duty at Resthaven Military Con
valescent hospital, lie was recom
mended for the military cross in Octo
ber 1916, and received special mention
in dispatches by Sir Douglas Haig.
Capt. E. J. Cook, the huge, irrepres
sible boy of the party, entered service
with the Western Canadian Cavalry,
enlisting in August, 1914. Ypres, the
Somme and Festubert are but three of
the many engagements through which
he passed.
At Festubert, in an assault on Ger
man third-line trenches, Capt. Cook
stopped two soft-nosed machine gun
bullets, which entered his right side
and traversed the stomach. Contrary
to all the predictions, he recovered.
It was also his fortune to be "gassed"
at the second battle of Ypres. The
full complement of his wounds included
one in the left elbow.
Following recovery from his wounds
Capt. Cook served as an instructor in
military training schools in France and
England. He .was also provost-marshal
in London for some months, and
air raids are by no means novelties to .
him.
