The other day a rookie. Just out of
college, married a girl who lived In the
town where his company was In train­
ing. The young man knew he must In­
form his family of the event, and also
that he must do it in the most sooth­
ing way possible.
“Dear dad.” he wrote, “I always
thought that when I married I would
choose a girl who could support her-
self If necessary, and then If anything
would ever happen to me, you wouldn’t
have to be burdened with her. Now,
Marion la that kind of a girl. She
knows all about my financial condition
and—’’
But when father read the letter, be
paused here to reread It. “Financial
condition,” he snorted. “That young
cub hasn't any- financial condition.
Why, he doesn't own the clothes on his
back. Nor did he ever own them.
Financial condition—well. I’ll be
hanged."
Another rookie had likewise married
a girl who was a stranger to his moth­
er, who boasts of Irish descent He,
too, wrote home—a letter to mother.
"I have told Frances all about my
family, so that now she feels that she
really knows you. So I’m going to tell
you all about her. She Is now an or­
phan, but when her father was alive
he was a big railroad man.”
Her mother commented to the rest
of the family. "Don’t be excited by
that,” she advised them. “Your fa­
ther and I used to know a very fat
fireman.”

Apart from the mystery of lives cut
off in their early prime, and this Is
the horrid catastrophe of war, it is
certain that in our natural clinging
to life we exaggerate the Importance
of the incident of death. “Will you
never find an abiding peace?" said a
friend to a restless poet. He replied,
“All life Is a wandering to find
home.”
Michael Fairless writes in the Road
Mender: “To the large majority
death Is Pluto, king of the dark un-
known whence no traveler returns,
rather than Azrael, brother and friend,
lord of the mansion of life. Strange
how men shun him as he waits In the
shadow, watching our straining after
Immortality, sending his comrade sleep
to prepare us for himself. When the
hour strikes he comes—very gently,
very tenderly, if we will have it so—
folds the tired hands together, takes
the way-worn feet in bls broad, strong
palm; and lifting us in his wonderful
arms he bears us swiftly down the val­
ley and across the water of Remem­
brance. Very pleasant art thou, O
Brother Death, thy love is wonderful;
passing the love of women.”

Mr. B. Z. Ant, a well-known citizen
of this community, was arrested at his
home last night on orders of th<|
food administrator and charged with
hoarding food. A large quantity of
bread crumbs and other high-priced
foodstuffs were found In the basement
of Mr. Ant’s home. The discovery la
somewhat of a surprise as Mr. Ant
has ulways borne an excellent reputa­
tion for Industry; In fact the proverb
'Go to the Ant, thou Sluggard,” so
often used, was originally written
about a direct ancestor of Mr. Ant.
Witnesses testified that they had
seen Mr. Ant on many occasions car­
rying food to his home and it la
thought he has gone so far as to enlist
the aid of his friends and relatives
tn carrying food. Enough edibles to
last all winter were found at the Ant
home.
Mr. Ant Is unable to give any satis­
factory explanation of his offense ex­
cept that some unseen force compelled
him to store the food away, as he
would need It later on. He denies
vigorously that he Intended to hold It
for higher prices. His case Is being
considered by the food administra­
tor.
This Is the second arrest made by
food officials in this neighborhood re­
cently, Mrs. Camel having been found
guilty of violating the food regulation
regarding the hoarding of fat. Other
arrests are likely to follow.—"Bugtown

Periodic sleeping is undeniably an
essential to the continuance of life, but
sleep is required more as a means of
recuperation from physical weariness
than from mental activity, an exchange
observes. The best thinkers are the
shortest sleepers, and on the other
hand the manual laborers require the
longest periods of sleep. The classic
example cited to prove that the think­
er does not need as much sleep as the
ordinary man takes Is Thomas A. Edi­
son, who during the most active years
of his life Is said to have slept only
four hours a day. It Is not so general­
ly known that Herbert Spencer, the
philosopher, in his later life did not
average more than three hours of sleep
a day.
These Instances should not lead to
Ill-advised efforts to emulate the ex­
treme examples. One should not at­
tempt to do better thinking by keep­
ing longer awake, but the effort should
be made to do better thinking, which
will result in keeping longer awake.
For If the body be not fatigued or
drugged with poison, sleep comes chief­
ly from the slowing down of the men­
tal processes unpl consciousness
lapses. If an adult la not tired or full
of fatigue poisons from physical labor,
qr if his system is nql otherwise bur­
dened With poisons from faulty diet
or overeating, It Is possible in many
Instances to cut down the sleeping
period from 20 to 40 per cent of that
commonly indulged In.
Prussian Guard Long Famous,
The history of the Prussian Guard,
cream of Germany's fighting men,
which was smashed by the headlong
attack of American troops at the Rec­
ond Battle of the Marne, dates back
to the latter part of the Seventeenth
Century, when men believed in the
divine rights of kings, and the troops
of the guard could be depended on to
protect the sacred body of their sov­
ereign when all other supporters fell
away.
-—_
-»»,«»..
The Prussian Guard Was once a
company of archers, known as the
Trabant Guards. It was transformed
Into a real fighting force by Frederick
William I. Drill with him was ru[ln^
passion and he lavished much atten­
tion on his guard; scouring Europe for
giants, ns no man under six feet in
height could enter his pet regiment.
This requirement was abolished by
Frederick the Great, who cared only
for fighting ability. The stirring ex­
ample of Nupoleon's Imperial Guard
caused the Prussian organization to be
Increased in size, and It now comprises
a complete army corps. Into Its ranks
go the cream of each year’s class of
Prussian recruits.
Salvaging a Ship Sunk 100 Years.
Work has been started off Boca
Clega (Cojlmar) by a Cuban salvage
company on the wreck of a Spanish
vessel sunk more than a hundred years
ago. The principal objects that the
company expects to recover are forty-
two cannons, which, according to the
divers who performed the preliminary
exploration work, are still in a fine
state of preservation, some mounted
on the deck and the oth»rs lying close
to the wreck on the Itoor of the sea
at a moderate depth which renders
their extraction only ordinarily dlf-
ficult.
Brand-New Fish Story.
Deep-sea fishermen report they re­
cently saw a floating island In tilo
gulf stream off Palm Beach, Fla. The
Island was about twenty-five feet In
diameter, and the fishermen say It
was composed of mnrl and muck, held
together by tangled roots and rotted
seaweed; that there were several trees
and mangrove sprouts growing luxuri­
antly on the Island. The fishermen
landed on the Islnnd and found thou­
sands of small fish on It, which sea
birds were greedily eating.
war department there is being un-
dertaken the re-organization of the
National Guard of this State in or-
der that there may be maintained
on a permanent basis an efficient
State Military force which can be de­
pended upon, not only to safeguard
the life, property and peaceful per­
suits of the common wealth, but al­
so to perpetuate the splendid patriot­
ism and traditions of the military
organizations of this character which
the State has always heretofore
maintained.
Authority has been given by the
War Department for the organiza­
tion of one regiment of Infantry and
which must be completed and in
shape for Federal inspection and
recognition by the end of this year.
A policy has been determined upon
to, insofar as practicable, arrange
for the organization of units to com­
prise this regiment In such places as
have heretofore been successful In
maintaining like organizations. At
most of these places either Militia or
Home Guard forces have been main­
tained as emergency organizations
only. It is hoped that a sufficient
number of such organizations can be
re-organized into National Guard
units to complete the one regiment
already authorized and with the con­
templation of proceeding with the
organization of a second regiment,
subject to the approval of the War
Department, so that the usual peace
basis of our state military establish-
ment can be resumed.
In furtherance of this program
the Adjutant General has detailed
Major J. Francis Drake, a National
Guard officer of many years exper­
ience, to visit such places as might
be most likely to accomplish the de­
sired result. Major Drake will visit
your locality within a few days and
will announce his exact date of ar­
rival sufficiently in advance for any
desired general meeting or confer­
ence you may arrange for those in­
terested in a National Guart organi­
zation. As a representative of the
military interests of your locality it
will be oppreciated if you will take
the initiative in calling any meeting
or conference at which it may be de­
sired to discuss these matters.
By direction of General Beebe:
Cecil A. James, Mgr.
In consideration of the above let­
ter, a meeting is called for Friday
evening at the Court House at 8
o’clock. All the members of the Home
Guard organization should turn out
and all others interested should
make a special effort to be present.
This county Is practically free from
Bolsheviksm now, let’s keep it so
by the maintenance of an efifclent
military organization.

In Regards Opening Schools.
—«-------
.
County Supt. G. B, Lamb has sent
the following communication to all
school boards and teachers of Tilla­
mook county:
“The State Health Officer has is­
sued an order permitting all schools
In Tillamook County to resume work.
This does not mean that the dang­
er caused by the "flu” epidemic has
passed nor that there are any less
cases in Tillamook County. It does
not mean that it is any more safe to
open schools than it was one or two
weeks ago.
It means that the resuming of
school work in each school is left to
the discretion of each school board.
There is quite a number of school
districts in which there are no cases
of influenza and have not been
recently; in other districts there are
still a number of cases. In such dis­
tricts I suggest to the school boards
that the matter of opening schools
be considered very carefully before
deciding to open at the present. I
am of the opinion that in districts
where there are a number of cases,
and especially among the children, it
will be better to wait another week
or two at least before resuming
Hchool work. The County Health of-
fleer also thinks lt would be far
safer for the health of the children
If such school boards would wait
another week before opening school.
This disease Is so very contagious
and so speedily fatal that we cannot
afford to take unnecessary chances.
As stated above, each school board
has the authority to open Its schools
or keep them closed a while longer,
as it sees fit.
To all schools opening now the
Health Officer makes the following
suggestions:
"That all children showing signs
of bad coldH, Hneezlng, coughing, etc.
be at once sent home. That children
be urged to use a gargle or throat
wash of some kind at least twice a
day."
It is suggested that the school
house be thoroughly scrubbed with
hot water and lye at least once a
week. Also that some strong disin-
fectant be used.
Will you notify this office when
the schools of your district will
open? I wish to have a check on all
schools in session.”
