Four fires were started by
hunters' camp fires and one from
a stockman's camp fire.
One fire started from an eagle
sitting on a power line and one
by a farmer burning debris. The
latter burned over 3280 acres
of which 1280 were forest pro
tected land. Two fires starting
from children playing with
matches burned over 378 acres.

were suppressed before reaching
a size of 1 acre and 2 before
reaching 10 acres. Lightning
fires burned over a total of 69
acres; man-caused fires burned
1678 acres.

army in the pursuit of Marshal
Erwin Rommel's forces show
that an Italian unit fought an en
gagement with Germans near El
Alamein, Egypt by mistake
and won it, British sources with
access to the papers said Thursday.

revealed. They showed that the
axis command subsequently held
a court of inquiry on the affair,

An Italian battalion was or
dered to advance on foot as part
of a general attack. During the
advance, they came up under
gun-fire and promptly gave bat
tle. After hours of fighting the
Italians' opponents surrendered.
Then it was discovered that
the prisoners were part of a Ger

vanced faster than the Italians.
The documents showed that cas

rTPHE QUALITY of a fine beer, such as Bohemian Club, can be
i X insured only by the exclusive use of choicest ingredients, pain. .
' taking brewing and slow, careful aging.
The Bohemian breweries has always brewed but one beef""' true,
' Bohemian Type Lager and this brewery took steps years ago to pro.
tect the quality and maintain the character and uniformity of its product
by importing rare Moravian barley seed and its own strain of seedless
Bohemian hops to be grown on our fertile Northwest farms.
There is now an exceptional and almost unprecedented demand for
Bohemian Club Export Lager but, no matter how great this demand
may become, not one day will be taken from the careful aging required
to produce its distinctive flavor and pleasing mellowness.
If, despite all precautions we have taken, priorities and man-power ,
problems should create a shortage of our supplies of premium barley
and hops we will never substitute less choice or less costly ingredients.
We Will Compromise With QUALITY!

Looking up at them daily, this resolution has taken shape in our
minds and our hearts:
To work as we never worked before.'
To be patient under the difficulties of wartime food production
and distribution.
To give our customers the best service 'possible In this time of
labor and other shortages,
TO THE END THAT
When these men who have gone out from our organization to
the armed services of our country come home from the war
there will be waiting for them here an institution into which
they can step back and resume their places in the peace-time
world with full assurance of happiness and security;
To this purpose we pledge our total effort and ; our total re
sources for the duration.
