Visitors last Saturday saw a demon- stration of how a city of 7,500 inhabitants can stage an annual “show” that attracts nation-wide attention and draws in a single day $0,000 visitors—four times its own population. . Not only the Round-Up, with its riding, bucking and roping exhibitions, but the Happy Canyon pageant, de- picting the history of the West, impress tens of thousands each year with what can be accomplished by united effort for civic enterprise. If Seattle residents had the energy and the vision and the UNITY of Pendleton, this city would have today a downtown municipal auditorium, three hotels like the one we are going to have, an annual Community Chest that would raise a million without any campaign, a pub- licity organization making this city known thruout the nation— Yes, and the Columbia Basin Project would be under construction NOW instead of in the chrysalis state of congressional wire-pulling. And that’s the truth. ‘The man who manipulates the price of grain Is not a gambler; he is not sport enough to go in and take his chance of making money elther by buying or selling grain, but he has the machinery there by which oe manipulation, he can fix the price, and he fixes It to the detriment every producer of bread and every consumer of bread In America— Representative Tincher (RJ, Kan. jain o4 » Ln RR aL R S SD A DETTORI He that hath gained an entire conquest over hhmeclf wif find no mighty difficulties to subdue all other opposition.—Thomas a Kempls.

Why Do They Do It? Juanita, daughter of Poet Joaquin Miller, is enjoying the bliss of her second successful divorce, and it’s the outcome of rather novel marital experience. Some women marry a man thru blind love, some for rt, some because time flies, some thru pure dare- Gevittry Juanita tackled one John Reid because he was handsome, aesthetic, temperamental, poetic, altogether nice, an ethereal ideal and so forth, calling him her “lily love.” Getting down to “brass tacks,” John fizzled as a lily. There was evidence to show that he struck her and ‘she herself testifies that the “lily” was “a lotus flower floating on the surface of the water, too tired to work, too tired to pay the bills.” ' There's somewhat of a warning in this case for girls Preparing to plunge into matrimony without full consider- ation of what they want and what the signs are as to what they'll get. There are enough disappointments even when a girl goes into it for substantials like real love and bread and bacon, bobbed hair and silk stockings, but there’s never any doubt when the fellow is of the lily pat- tern. He toileth not, neither doth he spin. He hath the glorious attire of the lily but he’s an onion in dis- Cleveland man and bis wife are on the same jury.

Bicycle prices have been cut 40 per cent, This Shouldn’t Be Repeated The other day, press reports say, prohibition agents at- tempted to board and search a British vessel outside the three-mile limit. Captain Shear, master of the vessel, refused to allow the agents to come aboard, “and actually tore the hands of one agent from the guard-rail of his boat,” accord- ing to the dispatches. “Throwing his own searchlight on the British flag, the captain told the agents they would take their lives in their hands if they made the search,” the report continued. One of two facts is obvious: Either the its had a right to board the ship, or they hadn’t. If they had the right they should have boarded her or sunk her in the attempt. If they did not have the right, they had no business to bring contempt and ridicule upon themselves and the flag. A small matter in itself, the principle is important. Washington should clear up the question. . He that knows and knows not what he knows !s asleep: arouse him.

Steel rails are up $3 per ton. Pay no more. Open Season for Oysters It was obvious from the start that the higher-cost-of- living tariff would ultimately become law. All that fussing and fuming you've observed in con- ‘ess was not so much due to opposition to the bill lf as it was to the members dickering and bartering among themselves. “If you won't vote for a prohibitive tariff on the things special interests in my bailiwick wants ‘protected,’ I won't vote for prohibitive tariff on the things your special in- terests want ‘protected,’” was the gist of it. Framed in this spirit, as the new tariff undoubtedly was, it will prove a stupendous burden on the public, boosting the already too high cost of living anywhere from $1,000,000,000 to $3,000,000,000 a year—from $10 to $30 a year per capita or $50 to $150 a family. Regular folks—like the poor oysters of the poem— mever had a chance. You remember, don’t you, the Walrus and the Carpenter, in “Thru the Looking Glass’? How they bamboozled the trusting oysters into believing they were their friends? And then how, with many a cajoling word and crocodile tear, they ate the oystews up? Now President Harding has affixed his signature to the measure, the great monopolies, controlling American household necessities, can take up as a joyful chorus the words of Carroll's immortal Walrus: “Now if you are ready, Oyster: We can begin to feed......" 1 sometimes think that never blows so red The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled; ‘That every Hyacinth the Garden wears Dropt in her Lap from some once lovely Head. —Omar Khayyam. ‘s dear, * Henry Ford’s shutdown lasted just about long enough to gi bout erca i soheky Wart, bee ea atte, Wel ‘ald, they could 4 urt, but gee whiz! h jen gell Fords to catch up! ow Henry will make his agents ———_—— ‘Our next Income tax is due 10 days before Christmas, It's pronounced—min-«-to#t, accent on the first syllable, it means—-threatening, It comes from—Latin “minart’ threaten, ‘ It is ured Ike this—“The Russia's demand that be turned over to Mi Pasha is distinctly minatory.” | Cultivates the Earth.

This not only reduces friction, but prevents the escape of s gases into the crankcase, with consequent loss of se: power. 1 4 e Comparative tests with a Sprague Dynamometer h ‘ Back Again show that Zerolene maintains a piston seal that af develops full compression. Because of its natural characteristics and exceptional purity and stability, Zerolene maintains full cylinder compression under all operating conditions, whether the piston clear- ance is small or comparatively large. The recommendations embodied in the Zerolene Correct Lubrication Chart are calculated with the greatest precision, and if Zerolene is used in accord- ance with them, correct lubrication and maximum fuel mileage are assured.
