The Capital Journal is appreciated out in Liberty school district No. 71, south of Kalein, but jn tho issue of July 3 which gave the district as one that bad fallen down in tho War Savings Stamp campaign, the reading did not go so well eHjiociuily as the district happens to be on.1.) of those that easily raised the quota. The facts are these: Tho quota for Liborty district No. 71, was $10,- 8S0, and the amount raised was $11,700, Thero is another Liberty school district in the county. Its number is 30 and the location is east of Pratum. Dr. H. J. Clements will leave Satur day noon for a two weeks vacation. We sell for cash.

Rams den. 7-5 Portland school teachers who had the nerve to get out and pick loganberries and incidentally getting in touch with nutur.y as it is seen this far up iu the Wilulinotto valley, will give an enter tainment Saturday evening of this week at the CervaiB City Hall. The circulars announcing the event are as follows: "Ewryoue come and see how willing the Honor Uiumls are to 'rough it' and do their bit. A good program is promis ed. Refreshments will be served. Admis sion 50 cents aud 15 cents. Everyone couie and do your bit. Thin woden boxes are not - adapted for the sending of packages to Franc, postoffiee authorities announce. The weight of parcels for overseas is limit ed to seven pounds and the box approv ed by tho postoffiee should be strong corrugated card board. If the articles sent permit, it is even safe to wrap them in heavy paper, sacking or cloth. This order has been issued by the post office as many of the wooden boxes were broken before arriving at destin ations. Tho suggestion it made that even if addressed to the soldier on the At lantic coast, it is best to pack the ar ticles in such a manner that they may be sent ov.er seas. If a package fails to reach the soldier here, it is sent to address on the other side. Several officers and members of the Second Battalion, Oregon Guard will attend the Fourth of July eelebration today at Silverton and incidentally wit ness the maneuvers of the Silverton Home Guard, Company H. under com mand of Captain Ernest M.

As a party just re tu-ned from Detroit said that he saw them and they appeared to be from 150 to 200 feet in length. This according to the average reader's information, is somewhat larger than the general im pression given of the Ford baby submar ine. There will probably be not 80 many Ford ears on the market next year, and this announcement comes from Vick Bros. Smashing a chair on ths head of his neighbor who was soliciting for War Savings Stamps may cause S. e. How ard of Sidney considerable trouble with federal authorities.. E. Todd of Sidney appeared yesterday before the prosecut ing attorney, Max Gehlhar, and swore out a warrant against Mr. Howard charging him with assault and battery While Howard may not be accused of disloyalty his attacking a solicitor for the War Savings Stamps it is under stood, may result i'1 n's being called t' explain his unpatriotic actions. Todd had left a W. S. S. card at the home of Howard and when he returned to secure the pledge, instead of a subscrip tion for stamps, Todd was struck on the head by Howard and severely in jured. When a letter is addressed to a town which doesn't happen to he in Oregon or anywhere else, the best- the nixie man can do at the postoffiee is to post it on the bulletin board, thus giving notice to the public before the ktter is sent to the dead letter office at Fort-' land. The letter addressed to "Mrs J. C. Custer, Helenworth. Oregon, " will not be delivered as there is no such postoffiee in the state. The postal tt Ruth E. Saain did not travel far ai the addresser - thereof failed to even write town or stato. The postal to Mrs. George Muimd is also held up as it was aduiessed to 107 Florida street, Salem Oregon, and there is no such stwot in She city. ' ,, Salem presents , the most lonesome July 4th appearance that has probably ever been known, even to the oldest in habitant. The patriotic spirit and the feelirfg thatjiuo one should work on the Fourth seems to have caught on here and not even a meat market, grocery store or tho stores that hold out for a little early morning-business were found to be open. Even the Elks club and tho Commercial club presented locked doors, somothing unheard of on any national holiday. As one proprietor said, all the boys in the store seemed to think they should have a full holiday and it was thought best to give it. o Two old people living' at South 21st and Oak streets, by the name of Bar gent wero found to be in a pitiful condition and a report was mado to the police station last fvening by neigh bors.

The largest transaction ever matle by an autombilo agency in the stato of Oregon was that of Vick Bros., when they contracted with Honry Ford for the shipment of 1,000 Ford tractors. The deal really means the sale to Vick Bros, of three quarters of a million dollar worth of tractors to be shipped within the next year.
