reply the president says that he was

and so should know something about

President Taft's cure for obesity is
no longer a secret. 1t is purely die
tary, and easy to take.
1t is well known that the Presidents
is his one sorrow. He is fat.
He admits it. But while he is not par
ticularly ashamed of it, he doesn't
like it.
Recently president Taft began sys-
tematic course Of dieting to reduce his
measurements. The system is
50 simple that any man or woman af-
flicted with a soul-mortifying bodily
circumference, may reduce it without
expense, and without going hungry.
In the dietary regime prescribed for
President Taft, sugar is entirely cut
out So are all kinds of fats, includ-
ing butter, milk, cream, cheese and
the yolks of eggs. The President is
also forbidden to eat bread or FARM
aseous food OF any kind.

THE POULTRY FAIR.

The formation of the UmatillaMor
row county poultry association was an
excellent move and the plan for
poultry fair to be held here in January
is likewise something that should be
encouraged.
Within the past few years much in
terest has been taken locally in the
matter of raising good poultry. Peo-
pie have learned that there is money
in poultry raising and that the busi-
ness is especially profitable when the
right amount of attention is paid to
breeding and to the care of poultry.
Now the encouragement of poultry
raising is something in which all peo-
pie are interested. The raising of
poultry tends to lower the cost of liv-
ing. So the public at large should well
come the formation of a poultry rails
ers association and encourage the
chicken fanciers by patronizing their
fair when it is held.

BEGIN WITH THE BOYS.

EX-President Roosevelt was some-
times ridiculed and sometimes censur-
ed for "butting in on every subject
under the sun, but he has usually
managed to be on the right side and
TO say the right thing especially when
discussing questions relating to the
moral well-being of society. Here
Is word. for example, with regard
to the training of boys, which con-
talns the very essence of the prob
lem, OF making men better. He saws:
IF you are going to do anything
permanent for the average man you
have got to begin before he is a man.
The chance of success lies in working
with the boy and not with the man.
That applies peculiarly to those boys
who tend to drift off into courses
which mean that unless they are
checked, they will be formidable ad-
ditions to the criminal population
when they grow older
mo nation is safe unless in the av-
erage family there are nealthy, happy
children. If these children are not
broght up well they are not merely a
curse to themselves and tneir parents
but they mean the ruin of the state
in the future"
These are wise words, and they
ought to appeal strongly to every
father and mother to look well to the
morals of their boys The wise king
said: Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it." The perlls
to which boys, and girls, too are often
exposed in their school days are not
always fully appreciated by parents,
but they are real and inslstent.-The
Examiner.

NOSTALGIA.

oh, the names, the names that lure
you
Off to places you have dreamed,
Pictured, and your fancies moor you,
Where the wander-torch has
cleaned!
oh, the Dardanelles-white beaches,
Hot beside an azure sea,
And behind the cool green reaches
or the palms that beckon me!
Where the low-hung foliage screens
And the waves Groom to the bar,
While some sole-eyed Venus leans
Ger the song of her guitar!
Oh, the charm that lies in Burma
Name in which the tropics purr,
Softly dangerous, a murmur
Putting northern eyes a blur
With a spell so drowsy sensuous
That they long for slender palms,
To dream far from haunts pretentious
In the tropics scented arms!
Can't you hear Calcutta calling?
Hasn't Kipling to your sight
Brought dream-stuff of that enthral-
ling
CANS VI NAAN vi NeAAldl Ail6llb
Can't you hear the noisy railers,
See the docks, the tall-sparred ships
And the hordes of all earth's sailors,
Sun-blacked, quick-eyed, knives on
hips?
Can't you see the red sun sinking,
Fiery in the oceans breast,
And the heat-cracked housetops
drinking
In the cool of night and rest,
While below, the blackness thicker,
Yields a CLINT of almond eye,
Or a stealthy dagger's flicker
Here, soft laughter! there, cry
Whispers wander-lure Sumatra,
Island named with a caress;
Tempting, as did Cleopatra
Men have given all for less!
Oh, the names, the names that lure
you
Off to places you have dreamed,
Pictured, and your fancies moor yeu,
Where the wander-torch has
cleaned.

THIS YEAR AND NEXT.

The district fair which closed Sat-
urday night was a splendid success.
In many respects it was the best fair
that has been held. The pavilion was
in better shape than ever before for
handling the exhibits; the displays
were good; the band was the best we
have ever had; there were more pa
rades than at any previous fair and in
a general way the people were given
more for their money than ever in the
past.
For the work they did in connection
with the holding of the fair C. E.
Roosevelt, president of the board, and
every member of the commission and
every employe of the board should be
given thanks. They did good work and
pulled off a successful fair under ad-
verse conditions.
Now that the fair is over, work
should be started at once for next year.
Plans should be made for holding the
fair next year upon a greater scale
than ever, Improvements may still be
made. BY organizing the work more
thoroughly and by prosecuting it with
still more vigor we can have a better
fail. 1t has always been the plan to
make each fair just a little better than
its predecessor. This is a plan that
should be followed out. Care should
be taken lest progress be made
backwards" All the fairs held so far
have been good fairs. We don't want
any poor fairs. It would never do to
go below the standard for people
would then lose interest in the mat
ter and confidence once lost, it would
be hard to regain.
This years fair is now a matter of
history. Let US congratulate the COM
missioners for the work they did and
urge them to do even better next
year.

PLoW RIGHT THROUGH.

"God helps those who help them
selves" is one of the best mottos ever
written and just now it may be ap-
Piled here with special significance.
The farmers of this county would like
to be freed from the exactions of the
harvester trust and the people of Pen
dleton would like to see the city made
greater by the establishment of a
thresher factory at this place.
Then join hands and build a fac
tory for the manufacture of the Rey-
nolds side hill combine. Do not with
hold your support because there may
be some obstacles in the way of the
enterprise. There are always OBJ
stacles in the way of movements that
amount to anything. There were
serious obstacles to the rebuilding Of
the Pendleton wooden mill. But when
things grew warm those obstacles
melted away like a snow bank before
a chinook wind.
For one thing it is threatened that
If we go to manufacturing the Rey-
nolds combine upon a large scale the
trust will bring injunction proceedings
to stop us on the ground that some
OF their patents are being infrlnged
upon. That is an old game of the
trusts and 1t has probably prevented
the establishment of many independ-
ent factories. But the bluff should
not work in Umatilla county. Let the
trust bring suit If they want to. The
matter can then be fought out and II
we lose-well the money subscribed
for building the factory will not be
needed and nobody will suffer
But to quit simply because of the
possibility that the harvester trust will
try to block matters would be silly.
Messrs May and Jack believe their
rights are secure and are not afraid
oil any litigation. The threat about an
injunction is probably nothing but
fog, and will not interfere at all. An
Atlantic liner never stops going when
it hits a fog bank. 1t plows straight
through. Otherwise it would never
get across the sea.
Get together and back the thresher
factory and don't stop until the fight
81 won.
