THE WORK is ON.

The movement for the formation OF
a stronger publicity bureau is now
fully underway and committees are
out to secure the money needed. Al
the meeting last night it was propos-
ed by Pendleton men that if the re-
mainder of the county will raise the
sum of s2500 for the year the citizens
of this town will raise a like amount
This will be a fairly equitable dis
tribution of the expense and all en-
ergy should now be concentrated to-
wards raising the money. Each
community knows how much it must
give in order to raise the needed
amount and subscriptions should be
given accordingly.
That the county should maintain
an advertising bureau is plain to all.
It is a common sense move. The
county wants new people and it has
much to offer them. But to bring
them here it must let them know OF
the resources of this county and OF
the opportunities that await new peo-
pie.
For a county that is worth s40,-
10000 contains 5000 square miles
of land and has a population Of u.s.
600, the sum Of $4,000 is not much to
spend upon publicity work. If this
county were run by private corpor-
alton, so times that amount would be
spent annually upon advertising.
1t was suggested by some Of the
speakers last night that money for
advertising purposes should be raised
by general taxation. That would be
the ideal way to meet the expense.
But for the present the suggestion IS
useless, because the levy for this year
has already been made.
Under the circumstances the only
course to pursue is to follow out the
plan adopted last evening. Each Sec
tion Of the county must bear its share
of the expense. II the people will
but look at the matter in the proper
light they will gladly subscribe to
the publicity fund

"GOING ALONG"

Going along, with no sight in the
song,
But reaping in gardens where sweet
flowers throng.
A star that gives light
In the gloom o. the night
A dream of morning whose mead
ows are bright.
II.
Going along, with faith that is
strong,
And knowing Right lives DER the
wrath of the Wrong;
With Love that finds rest
Where no thorns wound the breast,
In the beautiful region which men
call the blest.

A PATRIOTIC SWINDIE.

at is not often" said General F.
D. Grant, at a dinner in New York,
that man can perform at the same
time a swindle and an act of patriot
ism. Yet this happened during the
war.
A New York sharper then conduct
ed a swindle at which even Washing
ton would have smiled approvingly.
"It was at the time when we stood
in the greatest need of soldiers. This
man inserted in the papers every
where an advertisement that read as
follows:
'Notice-For 81 I will give any
person information whereby he may
avoid conscription.'
Replies came fast. They came
at the rate of 500 day. and dollars
accompanied them.
"Then an enraged dupe, beside
himself at having lost a dollar, took
the advertiser to court, where the en-
tire transaction was practically de-
clared to be quite legal.

by the sharper was:

with confidence fully restored. The pre-

produce considerable irregularity, and
there is much discussion among close

their effect upon the money market and
