East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-11-25

Back to the farm with the retired
farmers.
This is the sermon being preached
this afternoon to the retired farmers
of Pendleton by the head of the great
est organization of farmers the world
has ever seen. He is President C. s.
Barrett of the Farmers Educational
G. Cooperative Union of America.
Barrett came to oregon for the pur-
pose of forming state organization,
which task was accomplished at The
Dalles Tuesday. He then came to
Helix to spend Thanksgiving and IL
here today to address a meeting of
the farmers of Umatilia county at the
request of c. c. Connor, president OF
the county union. He goes from
here to Pullman and from there to
Washington, d. c., to lobby in behalf
OF legislation desired by the union.
There is one thing that has been.
on my mind ever since 1 have been
here" declared President Barrett
this afternoon. 1T is the question Of
getting these retired farmers back
tc the FARMS
AS he spoke he was standing in the
HtSllbulS VI Tie nOIuc
on. Water street, one of the handsom-
est residences in eastern Oregon, and
owned by a retired farmer. IF these
retired farmers can build up such
magnificent homes in town how much
better could they do and how much
more good could they do, if they would
stay or go back to the country"
IN speaking of the tendency of the
farmers to move to town and set up
fine establishments as soon as they
felt that they were able, President
Barrett said, "Of course 1 cannot say
what that will do to this country. be-
cause 1 have only been here few
days and am not familiar with the
conditions but 1 know it would GER
tainly be very bad for the country
where l live, in Georgia"

Christmas
Presents

1t is often hard when Christmas time
comes around to think Of presents,
which, besides carrying with them
their message of remembrance and
good will, will also prove of real use
and bring practical pleasure to our
friends Sometimes, however, it is
possible to hit on a gift in the enjoy
ment of which many can share-some-
thing that is used in common and adds
to the pleasure and comfort Of the whole
family circle; and in such cases the
blessing of giving" is increased by
just so many times as the number of
those who receive.
A good lamp is in one such gift. A
lamp stands for so much that is pecu-
liarly intimate and friendly. It's light
ing marks the end of the days work
and the approach of the pleasantest
hours of the whole twenty -four-when
the old people and the young come to-
gether for rest and play; when neigh
bors drop in to make the evening merry;
when the labors and the worries of the
work-a-day world without are put aside
for time. Frowns and wrinkles are
smoothed out, laughter springs up and
spreads spontaneously, under the lamp
like glow; and, if this same lamp was a
Christmas present from a friend, how
pleasantly the thoughts of those it
shines upon should turn towards the
giver.
Of all artificial lights the eye special
lists agree that an oil lamp is easiest on
the human eye, giving the light that, in
It's effect on the optic nerve, comes near
est to the natural light of day; and the
light from the Rayo lamp, while clear
and bright, is remarkably bright, mel
.ow and diffused. The new burner
with which this seasons model is fitted
gives extra strength and prevents all
so that it does not strain the
eyes even of those who are sitting far
way from it. In appearance the Rayo
iatisfies the most exacting; its light
irving qualities cannot be surpassed

MYSTERIOUS THEFT.
IS CLEARED UP
Safe, Containing $1,000, Stolen From
Military Camp, Recovered
In Woods.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Sept. 15.-The
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of q safe containing between
$4,000 and $1,000 from the army
maneuvres camp on Aug. 8, near here
was solved today when the police
arrested Private John Lumpkin, col
ored cavalryman and found In his
room a satchel containing $4,000 in
gold and silver. Lumpkin confessed,
duplicating several other soldiers.
John Killian, Negro restaurant
keeper, was also arrested and sew
eral thousand dollars in money was
unearthed in his back yard. Jay
Smith, colored, former soldier was
also held as a suspect.
The huge safe containing the mon
ey with which the army paymaster
was to pay the troops, disappeared
as IL the earth had swallowed 1t. A
detail OF soldiers was guarding 1t at
the time, but all disclaimed any
knowledge Of it's disappearance.
Three days ago, however, Lumpkin
suddenly disappeared from Fort De
Roussell, where his regiment was
Quartered. He was followed into the
mountains by officers. They saw him
locate the safe and take out gold and
silver. He was followed back to
Cheyenne and arrested in a Negro
rooming house.

Many Detroiters Join.

DR.. Robert W. Babcock, the famous

DR.. Babcock is one OF the foremost
heart and chest specialists In the
country, and his counsel is much
sought by other doctors. His paper
on tuberculosis at the symposium held
aboard the steamer Pleasure, Wednes.
day afternoon, was the feature OF the
session and was pronounced a remark.

dance.
All the candidates picked by the
nominating committee were elected
without opposition. Dr. A. ID. Holmes
of Detroit, succeeds DIR. William "
Laws, OF Hot Springs. as first vice
president, and DIR. Charles e. Barnett
or Fort Wayne, Ind, becomes vice.
president In place Of DR.. George w

Enos Tuley, OF Louisville, KY, was
reelected secretary for the twelfth
consecutive term, and DR.. Samuel c.
Stanton, of Chicago, again succeeds
himself as treasurer, a position he has
held since 1903.

cago. st. Paul and Evansville. Ind.
The greater part of the morning ses.
sion was devoted to the reading and
discussion OF papers OF considerable
interest to the attending physicians
The subjects were highly technical for
the most part, however, and OF little
interest TO the average layman.
A paper that excited considerable
interest was one by DR.. Listou Homer
Montgomery, OF Chicago, on the ques
tion of a federal department OF health
There is great difference of opinion
among doctors as to whether this
would be practicable. The matter has
been talked OF and advocated for 25
years, but nothing has been accom-.
plished.
The doctors regard the meeting Just
closed as the most instructive and
thoroughly enjoyable held in many
years. Many new members were add.
ed to the rolls from among the ranks
OF the Detroit physicians.
The exhibits have been a big fea.
ture of the convention. The exhi.
itors. including some OF the best
known firms related to the medical
profession, have been extremely lib
eral with their souvenirs and every
doctor will go home well stocked with
mementos OF a substantial sort. There
were samples OF matted milk. neat
leather cases with prescription blanks
and pencils, pocket knives. tape lines
and a host OF other articles.
