PENDLETON'S CHAMPION.

The East Oregonian takes special
pride in mentioning the record made
by Ora Jay, the star athlete Of the
Pendleton high school team who twice
in succession has wrested the indi-
v'dual championship in the Whitman
tnterscholastic field meet from the
biggest schools in the northwest and
who has more trophies than any other
individual high school athlete in the
northwest.
Jay is a Pendleton boy having
been reared from babyhood in this
city. His training has been received
in Pendleton, his victories have been
won for Pendleton and Pendleton is
proud Of him.
With excellent support from other
members Of the Pendleton high school
team, Jay has been instrumental in
placing this city at the very head Of
the list in the athletic column and
while yet a boy, gives promise OF
making more than a statewide rep
utation and field athlete.
And while Jay and the other mem
bers of the team have developed in
athletics, they have not neglected the
literary phases Of their education.
The boys are as strong in mental de-
velopment as in physical and make
fine appearance anywhere, in any
performance.

GRASS.
tain one.


The rose is praised for its beaming
face,
The lily for sanity whlteness;
We love this bloom for its langud
grace,
And that for its airy lIghtness.
We say of the oak, "How grand of
girth!"
OF the willow we say, How slen-
der!"
And yet to the soft grass, clothing
earth,
How slight is the praise we render.
But the grass knows we'll in her secret
heart
How we love her cool, green raj
ment;
So she plays in silence her lonely part,
And cares rot at all for payment.
Each year her buttercups nod and
browse,
With sun and dew brimming over;
Each year she pleases the greedy cows
With oceans of honeyed clover.
Each year on the earth's wide breast
she waves
From spring until stern November;
And then she remembers so many
graves
That no one else will remember.
And while she serves us with gladness
mute
In return for such sweet dealings,
We tread her carelessly under foot,
Yet we never wound her feelings.
Edgar Fawcett.

also will be well, for Bryan certainly
is the best representative OF the dem

general.
Yet he cannot get the electoral
votes of New York, New Jersey and

good through gains in the great mid

deemed an impossibility. The grea;

Presidential elections, and an uncer-

HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY.

II the real estate men and proper
ty owners Of Umatilla county decide
10 raise an advertising fund, care
should be exercised in spending it to
get most satisfactory returns.
II seems that the logica! way TO ad-
vertise Pendleton and Umatilla coun-
ty would be to raise sufficient fund
TO employ a first-class booster for a
year, and give him a printing fund
with which to print and mail, from
Pendleton, all kinds Of leaflets, pho
tographs, folders, pamphlets and
other home printed matter descriptive
or the city and county.
AS the money is to be raised In
Pendleton and Umatilla county the
Advertising matter should be printed

HOW TO HELP OUR FRIENDS.

We often attempt to regulate the
lives of our friends through imposing
our own wills upon them. This we
do under the impression that our con-
ception of Truth is superior to theirs
and that we see more clearly than
they do This is really but form
of selflshness, and binds all who in
dulge in 1t, both the strong and the
week.
OF course there is a point where
kind and friendly desire to help an
other may be productive of good. But
when the desire to help another in
wolves the subjugation of his spirit
and understanding. then that desire
becomes a selfish one. For you

The commanding feature of the day
was the parade which preceded the speak

1900 men in line. OF these more than
10000 came from the steel mills. Sup
piled with uniforms at the expense Of the
companies, the toilers presented striking
appearance as they marched past the re-
viewing stand. Because OF the opening 4
shutdown of the mills was ordered TIL
next Monday and the occasion made a

her eyes sparkled with happiness as

I'm not looking for money with my

able; and daresay even solicitor can
find use for a little extra capital.
I'm glad to know that my daughter is

That is enough for me-"
Mrs. Pearson said the same, and
kissed him.
At the wedding breakfast, Mr. Nash
made the customary speech.
This Is an occasion for presence Of

all qualities, 1t is the most to be de
sired. I cannot forget that 1t is to
presence of mind that owe my present

Lucy understood and looked at him
with shining eyes.
Surely Mr.. Nash should be happy

fond Of one another, and he knows that
her love is based on respect for his
heroic qualities. But there is a ny in

Magnetic observations Of the extinct
volcano called the Puy de Dome, in!
Central France, have brought out the
curious fact that the mountain Is mag
netized not merely at certain points,
but as q whole, the top Of the dome
acting as a south magnetic pole. Sim
gularly enough, similar observations on
the Kaiserstuhl, mountain In Ger
many. indicate that 1t possesses a north
magnetic pole at its summit.
The new satellite Of Jupiter, discov-
cred at the Greenwich Observatory last
winter, proves to be very interest
Ing object, both on account Of Its great
distance from the planet, more than
%, 1000, 600 miles, and Its retrogradc mo.
ton. Prof George Forbes suggests
that this satellite may turn out to be
the long-lost comet Of Lexell, which
was last seen in 1919, when 1t made a
very close approach to Jupiter.
According to report issued by the
Canadian government the Dominion
owns thirteen Marconi stations on the
gulf and on the Atlantic seaboard.
Three Of these are what are known as
"low-power" stations and cost $1,000
each; the others are known MS "high-
power" stations, and cost $4,000 each.
The Marconi Company receives $500
and f70O per annum, respectively for
operating them, retaining all the re-
ceipts.
The lower atmosphere and the upper
atmosphere are believed BY Prof. J.
Ham to be two very different gaseous
mixtures. At the earth's surface the
composition is: Nitrogen, 1903; oxy-
gen. 20.99; argon, O.94; carbonic acid,
0.0S; hydrogen, DOL; neon, 0.OO15;
helium, 0.00O15; krykton, O0OOlO. At
a height of twenty kilometers (12.43
miles) he finds the nitrogen increased
to S4.34 per cent. with 1919 Of oxy-
gen. At 100 kilometers, the hydrogen
seems increased to 99.45 per cent, with
,0.4bs Of helium and only 0O99 Of nitro
gen.
Although the -aeroplane principle is
preferred by nearly all the inventors
who are now Mt work on the flying ma
chine problem, there are few who
think that something may be accom-
plished with helixes, or screw pro-
pellers, revolving about a vertical axis,
and thus exerting direct uplift. Paul
Cornu, a Frenchman. has recently pro-
duced machine on this plan, which
he calls helicoptere, and which has
proved itself capable Of lifting him
few feet from the ground. The ap-
paratus comprises two double-winged
helixes and two planes under the gov
eminent of levers. The helixes do
the lifting, and the reaction upon the
planes Of the air set into spinning mo-
ton by the helixes is expected to give
the horizontal motion. A 24-horse>power
motor furnishes the power.
