The Eatonville Central Council meets tonight. Ed Kittleman was a Dispatch office caller to arrange for the paper being sent to his nephew of the same name who is in the Hospital Corps at the naval Training Station at San Diego, California. If you have a relative or friend in the service----- Get the idea? LIFE IN UNCLE SAM'S MARINE CAMP (A short sketch of my Experiences in Uncle Sam's Marine Camp, by Private Wm. Canty 103rd Co., Eighth Regiment, U. S. M. C.) Having made up my mind to enlist in the service of the U. S. I had then, to determine what branch of the service would best suit me and to which I would be best suited. After casting about and procuring all possible information on every available branch, I finally determined to join the Marine Corps. My choice was influenced by the good reputation held by the branch of the service, by the services they have performed in the past and on account of the rigid physical examination which has more requirements than any other branch, so that only those who are physically fit for the hardest kind of service may enlist. The young recruit meets with many surprises and disappointments when he first arrives at the Training Station. His dreams of the real marines in their fancy suits of blue are very much shattered when he is taken to the Q. M. D. and outfitted with a pair of khaki trousers which are very similar to the kind worn in civil life, but he soon recovers from this rude awakening and, as a usual thing, is extremely thankful that he joined the Marines in preference to any other branch. His first drill is the Swedish Exercises, which are very strenuous and for the first few nights he lays in bed groaning and swearing, while every muscle in his body aches so much as to forbid sleep. However, the Swedish Drill is meant to develop the muscles of the entire body; and very soon, muscles, which our recruit never knew he had, stand out prominently. By the time he has been in training for two months he has an everlasting memory of "Squad right" and " Squad left" imprinted in his Continued on page 3 Column 3 Pg. 1, col. 3 LOCAL AND PERSONAL Richard Canty was out from Camp Lewis, last Sunday, where he is employed as a foreman carpenter, to meet his brother, will Canty who was home on furlough.

Lyon, Supt. of Eatonville Schools, was pall-bearer at the funeral of Supt. Layhue of the Sumner Schools last Sunday. Brown Smith, while loading logs for the Royce Lumber Co. had a leg broken last Monday when the hook slipped from the end of a log permitting it to fall back from the skids. It is reported that ground will be broken for the new garage of Leslie kipper and Co. in about ten days. Extensive improvements are being made by Geiger and Malcolm at the Model market. The partitions are being removed to make room for the necessary machinery for the manufacture of sausage and other like products. A Cold Counter has been ordered and will be installed before the warm summer months arrive. DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS HURT Fred Darrah attended the fire at the Snow Hotel and, of course, since there was plenty of work in sight, Fred jumped into the moving business and helped to get the furniture out of doors and a safe distance from the blaze. Since there was some excitement mixed in the moving and the men did not take proper precautions in looking out for the welfare of each other, Fred's arm came between a piano and the door jamb. This little matter did not keep Fred from continuing the good work nor did it keep him from working at his regular occupation for the next week, but as his arm continued to give him considerable pain, the physician was called on, for an investigation and it was learned that the arm was fractured. He now carries it in a sling. Mrs. Victor is visiting her daughters in Seattle. Miss Elsie Ingle had an operation performed today at the Eatonville hospital. The P. T. A. held a very enjoyable social on last Friday evening at the Eatonville Theater. The theater was decorated with green boughs and fir trees, rugs were laid on the floor and flags draped on the wall, the whole giving the impression of a large living room. Refreshments of coffee and cakes were served and card games under the supervision of the teachers until 9:45, at which time, the floor was cleared and Mesdames Geiger and Fairbairn took turns at the piano while the young folks danced until midnight. An admission fee of 25 cents for adults and ten cents for children was charged, the object being to raise the necessary funds to purchase a bookcase for the City Library. The net proceeds were $18.00. Every one present enjoyed a good time and the P. T. A. have received many requests to give more of these socials. Pg. 1, col. 4 A REAL FOURTH If the plans proposed by the Redmen, in response to a request of the Eatonville Central Council for suggestions for an Independence Day celebration are adopted, Eatonville may safely be promised some little excitement in addition to the celebration. The proposition embraces a Goddess of Liberty contest, a 'float' contest and parade, athletic contests and a Grand Ball to be given in the Redmen's Hall, in which all of the local Fraternal organizations will participate. The time is fast approaching when a definite program must be adopted if we are to be assured of a local celebration that will be a success. The Central Council may be depended upon for this work of the organizations will be sure to instruct their delegates. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTS SUPERINTENDENT At a meeting of the School Board, last evening Mr. F. H. Bailey of Fall City, Wash. was elected Superintendent of the Eatonville Schools for the year of 1918-19. Mr. Bailey is a man of ample experience as Superintendent of schools and possesses all of the necessary qualifications for his position. He comes highly recommended from everyone who is acquainted with him and his school work. There is no reason why he should not have the backing of every one in the community toward maintaining a top- notch position for our schools. It is time for the laying aside of all the little petty enmities and jealousies in connection with our schools and have the hearty, unanimous support of the people for a policy of continual betterment.

Pg. 2, col. 1 THIRD LIBERTY LOAN In our last issue we told you, by way of advertisement, that Eatonville's next step in the Third Liberty Loan would be $21,000.00. We did this because we feel optimistic from Eatonville's record to date, also, we feel that it is our duty as a community, to show, not only our patriotism, but our confidence in the government and its ability to end this war in a victory for Freedom for the world's population. Freedom which will wipe out all class lines in Europe and America. Freedom which will educate the farmer, the miner and the men of every imaginable occupation in their particular lines to such measure as to bring the world's work up to the highest grade of efficiency. This can best be brought about, at this time, by supplying the necessary funds to provide the allied armies with ammunition, food stuffs and reinforcements. The needs of our armies in the field and the armies of our allies must take precedence over the needs of the civilian population. They must be provided with good food, warm clothing, plenty of guns and ammunition, air planes and all of the other endless equipment that are necessary items in equipping a modern army. It is our duty to provide these necessities since it is obviously impossible for them to provide their own war material and if we fail to provide it, then has their sacrifice been made in vain and our sons, or our friends, deserted by the people at home, are left to the mercy of the merciless Huns. If you cannot go to the front then do the next best thing; help those who have gone or who are going. Do your bit by buying a Liberty Bond so that our brave warriors in the cause of Freedom may be supplied with all of the necessities. Do not procrastinate by promising yourself that you will buy a bond of the Fourth Liberty Loan. In all likelihood there will be none. If the present loan comes up to expectations there will be no need for another before the summer of 1919. If the war continues as at present, the sacrifice of life is so great that it must end before that time. So, if you haven't $5.00 for the first payment, borrow it and buy a bond. POWER FARMING Power farming and the possibilities and limitations of mechanical devices of all kinds for the carrying on of farm work will be the subject of a mammoth demonstration on two hundred acres of land on paved roads two miles from Pullman on may 29-30-31, according to plans now being matured by the department of agricultural engineering of the State college. Instructor J. P. Fairbank is in direct charge of plans for big power- farming demonstration, and is working and planning in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, manufacturers of farm tractors and other agricultural implements of the pacific northwest, and commercial clubs. Mr. Fairbank states that the underlying motive of the big farm power demonstration is to show farmers of the Pacific northwest, in a period of labor shortage and high feed-cost, the actual possibilities in the use of mechanical power of all kinds for farm work. Plows, disc and draw harrows, special types of cultivators, and all farm implements commonly in use will be drawn over both level and hilly land by tractors including practically every make sold in the West. On the big demonstration field will be tent restaurants, exhibitors; tents, and demonstrations of auxiliary machinery operated by certain types of tractors. Both the "crawling" and the round-wheeled tractor types will be on the demonstration field. Pg. 2, col. 2 By careful planning a miniature truck garden can be made in the back yard, and the city man be helping in food production besides deriving much pleasure from his home grown greenery. Pg. 2, col. 3 By keeping a back-yard poultry flock the family would not only help in reducing living costs but would have eggs of a quality and freshness which are often difficult to obtain. Pg. 2, col. 4 EARTH ROADS NEED REPAIR There is not time better than early spring to repair country roads and get them in good condition for summer traffic. If a road is to last any time at all a certain amount of upkeep is always necessary. Re-grading and reshaping will give the best results if done in the early spring, before the road entirely dries out and before the dry weather begins. The most efficient method of road drag, dust prevention, and the construction of new roads, is the purpose of a bulletin of 36 pages which may be obtained by writing Extension Service, State College of Washington, Pullman. The bulletin is by L. B. Edwards, professor of Railway and Highway Engineering, State College of Washington. Pg. 2, col. 5 & 6 WORMS IN PIGS Specially Important to Protect Newly Farrowed Pigs from Intestinal Parasites. Etc. Pg. 2, col. 6 "Especially in business a person should be careful of dress. Tailored lines should be observed. A fluffy tie, collar or cuffs can break the monotony, but surely an office is no place for ruffles, low neck and short sleeves. These all have their places, but herein lies one's judgment of the 'eternal fitness of things." Pg. 3, col. 3 LIFE IN UNCLE SAM'S MARINE CAMP (Continued from page 1) fitful slumbers. He, also, feels himself to be a very competent young marine and looks forward to new fields. He talks incessantly of the time when he is to be "Turned over" - turned over to duty. As a general rule, detachments are being sent out regularly from the camp and the recruits are given a chance to volunteer on any of them. They go to the "Islands," "Orient," or some Naval Yard, but usually to another camp to complete their training. The discipline in the Marine Corps is very strict and many a "bawling out" would be avoided if the "young boot" only knew. He learns that the members of the band do not rate a salute and that it is not customary or proper to "present arms" on the double or while marking time. In fact, by the time he has put in two or three months in camp, he can be trusted to perform any of his duties in a soldierly manner, and has an abundance of self-confidence. The fore-going describes, in short, my impressions of the first days in the Mare Island Camp where thousands of young fellows have learned their first lessons in military tactics which will be of great benefit, in a short time, when they "go over the top" in France with uncle Sam's Marines. I enlisted in July, 1917 and, at the first chance, volunteered to go with a detail leaving shortly for a camp in Virginia. We left on Oct. 10th, and, after eight days of travel across the continent, found barracks at the Marine Encampment at Quantico, Virginia, a small town on the banks of the Potomac River, twenty five miles from Washington, D. C. While here, our regiment, the Eighth Regt. U. S. M. C. was formed and, with a dozen other Mare Island boys, I was assigned to the 103rd Co. Our stay in Quantico was short, and with some regrets and many expectations, we entrained on November 10th for Philadelphia where the good ship U. S. S. -------awaited us with a large supply of provisions and equipment and at eight bells of that same night we slipped out of the harbor for an unknown destination. Many of the boys, who had never before been on the briny had a little stomach trouble, at first, but it was all traced to the villainous cook, who probably had a grudge against some one and "doped" some of the food. Needless to say, it could not have been anything else, for a sea-faring man has no fear of the sea and is not in the habit of feeding strange fish to whom he has not been properly introduced. But it is disheartening for a youngster leaning over the rail (just looking at the fish, of course) to hear the discordant howl of a chorus of "bunkies," located on the fo'c'sle {forecastle} singing with great gusto, that old familiar hymn entitled, "My Supper Lies over the Ocean." But, usually, he doesn't worry long, for a good healthy boy soon gets over the habit of inspecting the water in the immediate vicinity of the port side, and feels quite at home, after the cook quits "doping his food." So, after a very uneventful trip we landed at our present location; Galveston, Texas, on November 19th. We have drilled hard since that time and in the hot Texan climate with its ever prevailing winds, the boys have taken on a healthy tan and physique which is hard to rival in any group of men on the continent. We are fortunate in having exceptionally good officers who are respected by all. Our boys are contented and have no complaint to make but all are anxiously awaiting the word that will send us across the deep, where we can have a hand in the work toward exterminating the common enemy of all mankind.
