many holidays in the public schools.

A large number of Christmas and
New \ car s cards were sent out this
year bearing the trade mark “Made
in Germany. ’ 1 hese cards should be
canned if you have any of them in
your possession.
W e didn't know w hether it was the
proper thing to report that we had
secured 2500 ’wits" for the Red Cross.
Anyway, it was impossible to make
the weather any wetter during the
drive or find a “dry” Red Cross
booster.
Now don’t complain because rain
has fallen in considerable quantity
and with considerable force the past
three weeks. It is a hundred per cent
better weather than the howling bliz
zards thVy have had in the cast and
the middle west.
Did you ever observe that Tilla-
inook County never had any failures
to amount to anything. A crop failure
is unknown, and when Tillamook
County was called upon to go over
the top in the Liberty Bond drives,
A . M. C. A. drive and the Red Cross
drives, there was no failures.
there is a good deal of gospel truth

about the Portland Journal: "The

Business men who tail to adopt a
cash basis of doing business are
starting the new year wrong. Now is
the time to cut out the credit business
with its attending losses. \\ Iu n peo
ple go ino the postoffice and want
stamps they have to pay cash, or go
to the express office with a parcel
they expect to pay cash, or buy a
ticket at the depot they are prepared
to pay cash. Now if the businessmen
who think they can’t run their busi
nesses without giving credit will con
sider that other businesses have no
trouble in doing a cash business, they
would have none themselves if they
adopted a cash policy. No one ever
heard of mail order houses giving
credit, neither should any business
man in this city in the future.
Some people contend that the Unit
ed States is not fighting the German
people, but simply the kaiser. W e are
not only fighting the kaiser, but the
brutality of the German soldiers who
have committed the most horrible
crujies in history. If United States
soldiers were ordered to commit the
horrible crimes the German soldiers
are permitted and ordered to carry
into execution, they would refuse, and
revolt, and they would show their
humanity by doing so. But here is the
contract between two countries. Ger
man people consider nothing too cruel
and horrible to inflict on their en
emies and German soldiers take a de
light in killing and torturing people,
and we consider the German people
are just as guilty as the Kaiser, so it
is foolish for any of us to think for
one moment that wc are not fighting
the German people who permit and
appear to take delight in committing
horrible crimes.

A newspapei assigned an American
I to make a portrait of Generul von

, photographer applied for permission to
Hie authorities at Berlin, who received
him cousteously and, after consider
able formality, detailed an officer to
accompany him to Brussels. Au ap
pointment was made, and the two were
admitted to tbe general's room. Pre
viously, however, it had been explained
to the American that under no circum
stances was he to address the general.
The utlii er begun his explanation, but
became confused at (hiding biniseli
face to face with so distinguished a
personage.
"Your excellency,” lie began, “we
have come from Berlin—that is, if you
will be so kind"— lu his confusion he
came to a full stop.
General von Blssing was seated at a
desk and seemed to be very busy. The
American photographer stepped for
ward.
"General, I am an American,” he be
gan without embarrassment.
“I see that," said tbe general, with a
smile.
"I have come to take your picture,”
the photographer added without waste
of time.
The situation was unprecedented.
Tbe officer stood aghast.
“Very well,’’ replied General von
Blssing. “Go ahead, What do you
want me to do?"
“If you will step to tbe window,”
"Now
the photographer explained,
step this way, a little farther, please.
No; this way.” And to the horror of
the attending officer the photographer
laid his hand on the general's arm and
arranged the pose. The picture was
taken In a few seconds.
"Thank you, general.” sakl the un
abashed American easily.
"1 hope your picture turns out well,”
replied General von Blssing, and the
interview was over, Once they were
outside the door, the officer expostu-
luted:
"How did you come to address his
excellency ? It is most unprecedented.
And you laid your hand on him. How
could you do so?”
“Mein Heber freund,” said the Amer
ican, "I have photographed three Amer
lean presidents, and a general more or
less is nothing to me.”

When things were under control and
