While Santa Claus was driving toward AbbevlDe, IN MS
sleigh which was OVERLOOKING with toys, one OF his reindeer
became frightened at a passing aeroplane, and overturned
the sleigh, scattering toys everywhere, and the worst OF ALL
tearing Santa's new suit, and crushing his hat.
Santa was shaken up pretty badly, but was not serious
~ hurt. He gathered up the scattered toys, and put them
in the sleigh.
i Then, after some trouble, he got the trembling deer back
in harness, took his seat on the sleigh, and cracked his whip
to make up for lost time.
But great was his sorraw to find that his best deer was
imping badl, from a sprained leg, and his sleigh badly dam
aged. !. ......
Santa looked at the crippled deer, the broken sleigh, and
his new suit and hat ruined, and wondered what to 90.
He had money but he had no time to waste. i
He tramped about, putting his pipe, bordering what he
should do. Where could he get a new suit, hat, shoes, and
team-at one place? Suddenly his face lit up with pleasure!
He had thought Of a plan!
Mounting his seat, and drawing his robes around him, he
whistled gently to his team, and drove straight to Rosenbergs
Store. where he bought a new Suit, a Stetson Hat, a pair of
Howard and Foster Shoes, besides a good supply OF Under
wear, and a dozen Collars of the latest close fitting style.
He also replenished his stock of presents, and bought a
pair Of Krippendrof Dittnaan Shoes, and a pair OF Silk Hose
for his wife. He then traded his crippled deer for a good
young Mule, his sleigh for a new Auto Seat Buggy, and went
his way happy and satisfied. Now there's a reason why
Santa went to Rosenbergs when he was in trouble and time
was precious. =
he knew he would receive prompt attention, and be served by
efficient salesmen.'
Suppose you do the same?

THE CHILD LABOR COMMITTEE

Reforms do not come Of themselves.
Abuses are not corrected automatic
ally. Last year twenty-eight states
made important amendments to their
school ana child labor laws. If it were
possible to trace all these efforts to
their ultimate source, it would prob
ably be found that the initial impulse
in most cases came from the National
Child Labor Committee, which has Its
headquarters at 1O5 East Twenty
second street, New York City. This
committee, organized in 1904 and in
corporated in 1907, has done noble
work in the investigation of child la
Dor conditions. making public the
facts in a series Of pamphlets Of which
No. 107 has just been issued. AS the
work is supported entirely by volun-
tary memberships, anyone who wishes
to make Christmas gift to childhood
in general cannot do better than to
add his name to the roll Of 1900 con-
| tributing members.
Despite all that has been done, a
vast amount OF labor remains to be
accomplished. Children have been

forced into the Industries at an in
sure of economic forces. While the
population of the continental United
States increased 500 per cent during
the years from 1880 to 1900 the to-
tai number of children from ten to
fifteen years of age engaged in trade
and transportation increased 216.5 per
cent, and of this engaged in manufac-
turing and mechanical pursuits 1874
per cent In spite of sentiment and
Legislation, the number is still increas-
ing. Compulsory education and fac
cory inspection are but insufficient
safeguards. During the past year a
boy of nine was found working in a
Vermont wooden mill In the sar-
dine canneries of Maine a good many
children of eight or ten years are en-
ployed and during the busy season
they sometimes work 3 or 16 hours
at a stretch.
1t will not do to condemn individ-
uals for this outrage. The greed of
parents or employers is not wholly to
blame. Conditions have brought
about this state of affairs and we
must remedy the conditions. Child
hood is sacred and must not be de-
spoiled of its golden bloom if man

\ FAVORABLE PRoJECT.

Under the auspices of the Pendle-
ton Commercial association some
mighty good work is being done
towards urging the government to ex-
tend the Umatilla project. What the
final outcome Of the matter will be
remains to be seen, yet the outlook at
this time seems favorable indeed and
the extension is at least a proba-
bility.
Without discounting in the least
the merits of other eastern Oregon
projects it seems clear to the East
Oregonian that the Umatilla extern
sions should be made before any other
big government enterprises are un-
dertaken in Oregon. The land in
cluded in the proposed extension of
the Umatilla project is very accessible.
One transcontinental railway line
runs directly through the tract; an
other line, the North Bank road, Is
but a few miles distant while the
mighty Columbia furnishes third
means of transportation. Then the
land west of the Umarilla lies at a
low altitude, the soil is good and the
climate favorable. All these con-
ditions insure that the land will be-
come wonderfully productive and OF
great value if placed under irrigation.
The reclamation men will have to
go far to find a more inviting field
for work than that presented by the
Umatilla extension.

HEALTH NOTES.

More people suffer from overeating
than from eating too little.
Those who lead an active life need
stronger food, in larger quantities,
than those who lead more quiet and
sedentary life.
Those who use cereals extensively
are capable of harder and more en-
during manual labor than those who
are nourished on meat as a staple
food.
Those who live in a warm, close.
lll-ventilated room are much more
likely to take cold upon slight ex-
posure than those who accustom
themselves to a moderate temperature
and keep the living room well venti-
lated.
Indigestion, weak 'lungs, flabby
muscles and sluggish circulation are
often cured, always improved, by
careful daily exercise appropriate to
the part of the body to be acted up
on. Careful hygienic treatment will
render drugs and nostrums useless in
a majority of cases.

1t has been commonly said for ages
that women are more richly endowed

And it is easy to see that this quality
would be especially helpful to them in
dealing with the customers of bank.

AFTER THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

If there was ever any doubt as to
the motives back of the assembly plan
there can be none now. The inter-
views with republican leaders" that
have been appearing in the Oregon
ian show conclusively the designs Of
the assemblyites. The Leaders" hate
the direct primary law and they want
to annul it. Through the introduc-
ton of the assembly system the poll
ticians want to revive the old con-
vention system though leaving Ore
gon nominally direct primary state.
It is easy to understand why pro-
fessional politicians do not like the
primary law. Through the opera
tions of the law the old political rings
have been broken. The bosses have
lost their prestige and the ward heel
ers and other ring workers have lost
their pull. All men are equal under
the direct primary law. When men
seek office they must run upon their
merits, they cannot fix things" with
a county or a state boss. Under the
primary law the "old school" poll
tician is a discredited being.
Now the question is, do the people
Of Umatilla county and Of Oregon
want to return to the "old school?"
DO they want to revive bossism with
all it's abuses? Do they want to have
political races fixed" before they are
started or do they want individuals
to seek office strictly upon their mer-
it's? Do they want government by a
few men who have selfish interests
to promote or government by many
men who seek merely to promote the
public welfare?
II you want to 90 back to the "old
school" Of politics then you may well
favor the assembly scheme. But II
you like the new deal" then get ready
70 fight the assembly candidates. The
assembly scheme was devised for the
purpose OF undoing the direct pri-
mary law.

More family scraps should be con-

A spinster never forgives a man

In matrimonial partnership a wo-

Men who know the most about
things know the least about women.
Most everybody would be willing to
be good citizen If it wasn't so dull

THIS is BETTER.

The government has made open
announcement to the effect that 1900
acres of the land under the Umatilla
project will be thrown open to entry
February 10 As a result of this an
nouncement all who desire to secure
land under the project may have
equal opportunities for doing so. Such
has not been the situation in the
past On two previous occasions when
land was opened to entry the fact was
not made public. The fact that land
was open to entry was known to but
la favored few and they took advan-
tage of the information. As a result
there was some sharp criticism OF the
government and in this criticism the
East Oregonian joined. Seemingly
there can be no complaint upon this
score with reference to the coming
opening.
