It is a little surprising to a good
many persons how the war news is
exaggerated from the VV estern front,
when dealing with the activities of
the American army. All of us have
implicit confidence in the valor and
fighting spirit of our own boys, but it
is altogether out of place for the big
daily newspapers to magnify small
Jocal engagements into sanguinary
battles, with severe fighting, ending
up with a few men wounded or taken
prisoners. Neither side can get into a
fight without large casualty lists.
1 nese overdrawn accounts of small
local affairs written up as though
they were most serious battles are
very misleading.
Those who arc carefully watching
the progress of the war will say
“Amen” to what was said by a visitor
from France on Sunday. 1 his is what
he said: "If 1 may deliver an unoffi
cial message to America, it is for
heavens sake send us 20,000 airplanes
and pilots at once. We can hold the
line over there but to defeat the Ger
mans we must have the mastery of
the air." That is what was predicted
a long time ago, and what congress
appropriated a large amount of liion-
' ey to bring about, but the : airplane
department was so badly mismanaged
and millions of dollars wasted, that
the supremacy of the air is not liable
to be attained for a long time by our
army.
The snap shot man want to im
press upon the women of lillamook
county the urgent demand for moss
to be used in surgical dressings. Al
though the President of the Tilla
mook branch of the Red Cross has
done much to expedite the output of
moss and to induce women and chil
dren to become actively engaged in
preparing it for shipment, the women
of the county do not appear to realize
the importance and urgent need of
putting more energy and co-operation
into that part of Red Cross work.
There is an abundance of moss in the
county but not sufficient women to
turn it out rapidly. There are a large
number of women who arc actively
engaged in Red Cross work and
there arc others who should be and
are not engaged in this work. Is it be
cause the seriousness of the war
is of little concern to them and they
prefer pleasure in preference to Red
Cross work?
We do not want to see any of the
city or county officials or members
of the mill company sent to the
penitentiary, but as sure as small po
tatoes make big potatoes, somtosc is
going to get their death warrant on

“Those cheese makers over in Tilla

Tillamook heads the list for the en
tire state in proportion of Third Lib
erty Bond buyers to total population
—over 28 per cent.”
The total amount of money raised
in Tillamook county was $300,300,
and its quota was $105,000 in the
Third Liberty Loan drive, which gave
the county a percentage of 288. It
may be of some interest to know’ also
that 2361
persons in the county
bought bonds in the last drive.
The snap shot man ran into a bar
rage of fire when he met a number of
Brightonites on the train on Friday,
and they used their big guns, their
little guns and their machine guns up-
up us in rapid succession. It was all
over the delay of the county in not
completing the road between Wheel
er and Brighton. Probably the beet
way to describe thebombardment we
were snubjccted to is to describe
some of the big and little shots they
threw at us with telling effect, for we
had no material to start a counter
attack, they having the snap shot man
whipped even, before they started
their barrage of fire. This was the
first hot shot: “There’s no sense in
expending $12,000 on a road and then
leaving it So that nobody can travel
over it, for it is a waste of money to
do so.” The enap shot man owned up
that it w: s not good business judg
ment to build reads in that manner.
“There are forty families living at
Brighton and the big saw mill is cut
ting up timber that is going to waste,
but have no road out.” That was an
other hot shot. “When we want to go
to our logging camps, we have to take
the train to Mohler and hire a fliver
there, taking an entire day to go and
return which is only a few miles.”
“The last budget contained an item of
$8,000 to complete the road, and why
don’t the county
court do so?”
"Whenever Beals wants a road built
to some property he has bought for
the purpose of enhancing its value
so that he can sell it at a big profit,
these roads are bulit, but when the
saw mills and logging camps needs
roads they do not obtain them as
quickly as a real estate speculator
docs.” "Roads should be built where
there are industries employing large
numbers of men.” “In Liberty Bonds
and Red Cross drives the north part
of the county subscribed liberally,
and on that account should be given
some consideration in road work."
This is only a few of the hot shots the
snap shot man punctured with on
Friday by those Brightonites, all of
which contained some convincing ar
gument, especially the roads that
Beals have pulled the leg of County
Courts to build for his special bene
fit, for the Brightonites enumerated a
good many. After a while the snap
shot man managed to get in a word
or two and poured oil on troubled
waters, for we had been assured that
the road would be graded as quickly
as possible so that it could be used
this summer and graveled before the
winter set in. Commissioner Alley has
has promised that this is what is to
AWAY WITH ALL GROUCHES
right away, so it is not necessary fo
us to throw all the hot shots that
were shot into ua on Friday into the
county court, but, somehow, the snap
shot man cannot get away from the
idea that he was made the scapegoat
of by the Brightonites, for the county
court.

Rationing Leads to Fads.
The bread-ticket decree, Just like the
rule prohibiting the serving of sugnr
in cafes and restaurants, hns re
sulted In the contrivance of numer
ous fads, writes a Paris correspondent.
One man Is known to have become
rich in one month by manufacturing
n handy receptncle for the carrying of
four lumps of sugar. Thousands of
Parisians bought the little boxes and
carried their own sugar with them to
the cafe.
Now the rage Is pocket scissors.
Bread tickets are issued on a single
card, each day’s ration being marked
out in a one-inch square, dated and
stamped with the quantity. The re
sult has been confusion in the restau
rants when the waiter demands the
ticket. A man introduced a handy
pair of scissors, and now everybody Is
buying scissors. Even the hlgh-clnss
jewelers of the Rue de la Palx hnve
joined the competition with expensive
models in “de luxe bread ticket cut

Try This on the Judge.
Automobile speeders, caught in the

attendants and spectators who heard
this unmarrfed-man-like admission,
gripped the railing to keep from full

honor,” explained tht speeder, “but It
is true.” And then he proceeded to
make a second admission only slightly
less startling than the first. “I helped
my wife dry the dishes, and that’s
what delayed me.” Of course, the
magistrate laughed right out, sal<|
