"So yiu're Just on semi friendly

barber.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that," replied
the soldier. "You see, I have two girls
In this town. One I see every Wed

other I see every Saturday. Then I
pay you the fifteen cents. Mary likes

Now you understand?"
"Maybe." laughed the barber, as he
sharpened his never-reiiily razor.

DIDN'T WANT TO BE LEFT OUT
Doughboy Had Good Job Behind the
Lines, But He Hated to Mist the
Big Show.
He was an American In France In
a uniform trudging along toward the
front, n husky chap wearing a worried
look on his face.
"Say, do you know where the Nthty
ntth Is?" he asked.
"Right on the road going strtilght
toward Geruiuny."
"Not through lighting yet, are they ?"
he queried anxiously.
"Nope; they're never through."
"You've said it, Ho. You see, I kind
of batted out of luck. They sent me
off to school, and I've missed a lot of
the show. I'm on permission now, but
I figured I'd come up and fight awhile
with the old crowd Instead. Got aix
days more before I report for the new
Job."
"What kind of school did you go
to?'-'
"Horseshoeing school. I graduated
tlrst-class horseshoer. Not had work,
but too far back lo get any Ruches.
That's the reason I'm spending permis
sion with the 1 outfit. I heard
they're going right after the llelnles
so I came out to get In on the party. I
gottn beat it along. So long."
He trudged along the dusty road,
speeding up in spile of his pack, to
catch up with the "outfit before the
show was all over.
Misused Donkey.
The Ilrltish transport to Buku and
back again is said to have been largely
accomplished by donkeys, writes Nor
man Hapgood in Leslie's. In Mesopo
tamia Ihe donkey does nearly every
thing, lie delivers the drinking water
to the houses of Bagdad. He trans
ports vegetables, fruit, marble, brick
for ordinary life, In war he carries
the soldier, his kit, and the donkey's
own meal of bailey. Where did the
donkey ever acquire the reputation of
being stupid? lie is amiable, indus
trious, sure footed. It was on a donkey
that Mahomet went to heaven to lea ru
the will of (iod. The Savior on i'altu
Sunday entered Jerusalem on a don
key. The little animal's history is dis
tinguished, as his character Is strong
and his Intellect sound. That the writ
ers of fables and the comocters of say
ings have contrived to ruin his fame
there Is nothing in history to justify.
Triumph of American Dyes.
'i he latest ollicial reports for the fis
cal year which ended with June show
that the American exports of aniline
(lyes for IMS amounted to $T,L",i,OMi).
This, when compared with our Imports
of aniline dyes in 1014. Is slgnlllcant
of the strides made by American chem
ists In the dye situation, Germany
supplied these coal dyes before the w al
and America paid more than $7.(MW),(h m
a year for the products. Today Amer
ica makes enough of the leading colors
for home needs and Is supplying other
countries In large quaniilies, as the
exports indicate.
In the early days of li)l,"i tliare were
but seven companies in America pro
ducing colors. Today it Is estimated
that there are uliout 150 concerns In
this line.

France. The climste is similar to that
of the Pacific Northwest with about
the same amour t of rain.
"We are workirg a bunch of boche
prisoners here," he writes. "They are
cared for in the fame way that our
own men are. Don't believe that they
work as hard. 1 believe that most of
them were taken at the second battle
of the Marne."
" The probability of his being home
for the Fourth of July parade is
doubted by the lieutenant. He stated
that he had seen John Beckett, of
Portland, who is a first lieutenant in
the Marine Corps, and that the latter
looks fine.
"I landed at St. Nogaire." continues
Lieut. Carson, "and went from there
to Chateau du Soit, which is in the
lept. of Sarthe south of Le Mons.
Then I brought the company here for
duty. Never enjoyed better health.
Other than for the fact that I miss the
home folks will say that 1 am very
contented here. A nice camp and
pleasant work. Far enough from the
city so that there is not the temptation
to get separated from 'beaueoup'
francs. Corning over we had rather
rough wt airier, but 1 did not get sick.
The ship was a very large one, but at
that it would bounce around like a
cork. 1 have applied for a commission
in the Regular Establibhment, hut
don't think that I will tret it as they
are going to reduce it in size so that
there will be limited 0eninge."
In a letter to his parents. Rev. and
Mrs. J. L. Hershner, Sgt. Harold
Hershner tells of an interesting visit
on Christmas in Brussels, Belgium.
Accompanying Maj. Breuer, director
of field hopsitals, he was a member
of a party in the former's' car which
made the trip. After a trip from
Proven through No Man's Land through
wet, falling snow, passing through the
destroyed city of Ypres, they reached
Ghent Christmas eve. They expected
to leave early the next morning, but a
French division was parading the
streets of Ghent, and thousands were
out to take part in the celebration.
"Americans stand ace high in Bel
gium," he writes, "and we attracted
almost as much attention following at
the end of the parade as the French
soldiers did. They would yell and
cheer at us, and we would yell and
cheer at them, and shook hands with
many, especially women and children.
We spent over half an hour in going
live blocks. The people threw cigar
ettes, bows of ribbon madeof the Bel
gian colors, and paper flowers. Be
lieve me, 1 was glad 1 was an xmeri-
can.
i After a ride over the best Belgian
highway the party reached Brussels at
noon and spent the afternoon viewing
the city, and in the evening joined in
with the crowds.
"Had quite a n interesting talk," he
says, "exchanging views on America
and Belgium with a school teacher
whom I met, and she seemed surprised
that we knew very much about her
country as it is so small.
Sgt. Hershner stated that he re
gretted that no opportunity was afford
ed to visit the art galleries and the
battlefield of Waterloo. Upon return
ing the following noon to Proven, the
party learned that they were to leavt
for France, going overland in trucks.
He spent the last two days of the year
visiting Paris and saw many points
of interest, including Notre Dame.

White Salmon and the American ex
peditionary forces in France were
linked together Christmas day through
the medium of several boxes of White
Salmon apples, donated by the Ameri
can Salvation Army, according to the
followintr letter just received by the
White Salmon Commercial club from
overseas:
"White Salmon and the A. E. F.
have been linked together, for today,
Christmas 1918, we ate White Salmon
apples. On coming in our large mess
hall today 1 notice a familiar appear
ance, but at first I could not tell what
it was ; at last it dawned on me that
the apples that were on the table
looked familiar. 1 asked the mess
sergeant where he secured those nice
big red apples and he replied that they
were White Salmon, Wash., apples,
and that he had received 24 boxes of
them, a gift from the American Salva
tion Army.
"The officers of this guard regiment
were very much pleased with the ap
pies, and 1 can say also that the en
listed men were 'wild' about them.
Most of the officers here have seen
action at the front, and while there
were wounded ; that is the reason we
are here. One of the best compliments
that I heard about the apples was a
few officers, 'who lived in California,
claiming that they were from Wash
ington just sojthey could strut around
and throw out their chests claiming,
'that's the kind of apples we raise out
in the state of Washington.
"Personally, I am not from White
Salmon, but 1 live very near there.
My home is in Vancouver, but I believe
in giving credit where credit is due,
hence this letter of appreciation from
a Washingtonian.
"All of us want to get back to the
U. S but today the U. S. and White
Salmon came to us."

Lieut. Ivan 14. Wood has recently
been here visiting at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Nelson Lrnry. Lieut. Wood
has been stationed on the British trans
port Briton as liaison officer, and was
recently able to get his discharge as
the Briton was sent to New Zealand
carrying British troops homeward
bound. He saw considerable of the in
fluenza epidemic, there being over 2"0
cases on his boat at one time, eight of
them dying en rtute and !eing buried
at sea. He was a witness to the tor
pedoing of one of the boats in their
convoy by a German submarine, while
on one of their return trips to the
States. He was also in the big storm
in which the transport Otranto was
lost with the loss of over 3tW American
soldiers, the Briton being the third
boat in line in the same convoy, the
Otranto leading. The Briton narrowly
escaped going on the rocks in the same
storm.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Horn in their
Christmas box sent their son. Sergeant
Major Joseph 1 Horn, stationed at
St. Aignana, F'ranee, along with other
delicacies, a single Winter Banana
apple. He w rites :
"Comrades from New York saw that
rosy-cheeked, golden apple, and 1 had
to divide it into quarters. All of use
ate our pieces almost as though they
were treasures too good to disappear
into our stomachs. But I will bet
that never did another apple bring
such praise. Those New Yorkers de
clared that they had never eaten a
better apple.
Sergeant Major Horn was in Paris
when President Wilson arrived there.
The ovation given the President, he
says, was the most impressive event
he ever witnessed.

Paul F. Pfernder, with the Third
Army, writes his mother, Mrs. Mary
Pferdner, of the Barrett district, that
he is with the army of occupation on
the Moselle river in Germany. The
young man says his unit passed through
Luxemburg, which he characterizes as
one of the most beautiful countries he
has ever seen. The people there, he
writes, have been very hospitable,
"But 1 long," he says, "for a little
soap and some sugar and bacon. A
little bar of your laundry soap would
bealniost priceless here. Candles are
exorbitantly high and almost unobtain
able."
Ralph Sherrieb, who was a member
of the 405th Aero Squadron, arrived
Tuesday morning from the east, having
been mustered out of the service. He
brought with him a German rifle he
had picked up in the Argorine forest,
Bnd also a French cavalry sword w hich
he had found. While not engaged in
actual fighting, his squadron was near
the front at all times at hSrd work.
He also brought two German bayo
nets, a long and a short one. The Ger
man rilles are similar to the American
guns, and the French sword has been
somewhat rusted by its use and also
contains some nicks on the long curved
blade.

greeting have been sent from here to

in the harbor Thursday an effort was
made to ascertain, as the overseas ves

son was on board. A member of the
crew on the smaller vessel wigwagged,
and the answer was returned that Capt.
