Probably the most critical period

Probably the most critical period
in the career of a public man is when
he is upon the crest of public popular
ity. instances are not wanting in our
American history of men who were
popular idols for brief season only to
be relegated to oLscurity Or to be sew
erely criticised in the future imme-
diately following. This is not neces
sarily their fault, although in some
cases they laid themselves open to
ceusure by their injudicious course.
In other words their heads were
turned by popularity. But usually
the change in sentiment was due to
that reaction which naturally follows
a great excitement in political as in
religious life. If the man honored
by popular applause does not lose his
balance by popularity and avoids any
unwisdom of speech or action until
conditions in the public mind are
again normal his public career is safe.
And it is to the credit of most dis
tinguished Americans who have had
to sustain the ordeal that they net
the situation successfully.

Nothing in the paper" is tho title
of an old editorial taken from scrap
book. The editorial follows ERE
quently you pick up a local paper
and after glanoing over it wearily,
throw it aside, remarking. nothing
in the paper this week." Did you ever
stop to think what that phrase meant?
1t means that IN the week just past,
no misfortune has befallen anyone in
our community; that no fire has wiped
out neighbours worldly goods; that
the grim angel of death has crossed no
threshold of friend; that no man
driven by liquor, hatred or fear, has
taken the life of fellow human !;
that no poor devil haunted by the past
or misdeeds of some other, has crossed
the great divide by his own hands.
So the next time you pick up a paper
that announces no tragedy give a
little thanks instead of grumbling Ee-
cause there is no news. Or, if you'd
rather. shall we dish you up choice
morsel of scandal? Would your eyes

After years of rumors and counter
rumors, Walla Walla is at last to be
a FORTRESS town. The splendid bar
racks and parade grounds are to be
abandoned, the fort properly sold and
the troops moved to Boise Barracks.
Fort Walla Walla is a land mark of
the Pacific coast which all old timers,
whether or not they are residents OF
the Walla Walla country will feel a
pang of regret in learning of the gov
ernment's decision to abandon it.

LET THE YAWN COME.
A Good One Is a Splendid Thing For
the Whole Body.

the Whole Body.
A good. wide. open mouthed yawn is
a splendid thing for the whole body. A
yawn is natures demand for rest.
Some people think they only yawn be-
cause they are sleepy. but this is not
so. You yawn because you are tired
You may be sleepy also, but that is not
the real cause of your yawning. You
are sleepy because you are tired and
you yawn because you are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it be-
cause you think it is impolite to yawn.
Put your hand over your mouth if you
want to, but let the yawn come. And
if you are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way of
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed. if you are
very tired. but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on a straight back
chair and. lifting your feet from the
floor, push them out in front of you as
far as possible stretch the arms, put
the head back, open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
or three times when you are tired and
see what it will do for you.

First EnaIish Horse Races.

Chester possesses plausible claims to
be the birthplace of the British turf.
1t was one William Lester, who about
1909. being mayor of Chester, did
cause three silver bells to be made of
good value to be run for upon the
Roode Dee" This seems the earliest
definite establishment of horse race.
From the nature of the prize was de-
rived the prSverb ITO bear the bell"
though the bells in this case existed
long before the ring" Our ancestors
being more easily satisfied in the mat
ter of amusement than their degenerate
descendants. there was apparently only
one contest. The Chester cup" which
has been substituted for the best
bell" is now worth E2,500 to say moth

festivities at Wenaha springs doubt
less hoated back TO the days when the
resort was known as "Wa1m springs" )"
and was presided over by Tip Parent,
Tom Lucy and later by Granddad Pur-

the farm wagon were the only means
of transportation, and the old log

the role of orchestra. Monday dozens
of automobiles buzzed over the ground
and full orchestra furnished music
for the dancers who glided over the

On one Of the recently arriving
transatlantic steamers was Il young
woman whose extreme economy had
not permitted any lavish expenditure
abroad. But she had repeatedly re-
ferrcd with commendable pride to the
mai crial for two silk dresses she had
pur hased at bargain which she was
bringing home for her mother and sis
ter. Even the suggestion of one SYM
pathetic listener that she would have
to pay duty produced merely tenn.
porary restraint.
Finally when the liner approached
New York and the custom house of
icer received the somewhat plain wo
man at the cabin table her fellow pas
sengers were curious. Being asked the
usual questions about dutabe proper
ty, she replied stoutly and defantly
that she had the material for two silk

The call of summer is loud and in
sistent to the man whose steady grind
of work in close workrooms or sitting
offices makes him long for leafy woods
and cool breezes and sparkling water
when the mercury soars to dizzy
heights. 1t is not everyone who is
able to answer the call, but to those
who can, week or two or even but
few days out in the open is not only
positive immediate relief but it puts
them in frame of mind again to
take up the thread of life with new
hope and makes them letter fitted to
deal with the daily round of du ties.

ARIZONA AND BUllARD C0MPumENTtD BY IA. |.
  Our District Attorney Is Now a Mem ber of the Contest and Legislative Boards of the American Au- tonobite Association.

George Purdy Bullard. president of the Maricopa Automobile club. is now a member of the contest board and also of the legislative board of the American Automobile association. He received the appointment yesterday, in letters from the president and secre- tary of the association.
 The appointmentto these boards is a signal compliment to Arizona and to Mir. Bullard. The only other mem 'bers of the contest board west of the Mississippi are one in California and one in Colorado. As a member of this board it will be MT. Bullard's duty to supervise the. great race meets throughout the west. With some 300 clubs in this country there are only about thirty which are represented on the contest board. The letter ap- pointing him to this board was signed by Lewis R.. Speare. president of the association. He was nominated by Chairman Butler and confirmed by the Manufacturers Contest -associa tiOn.
 Mir Buliards. first action as mem Der of the, legislative board was to write to the chairman of the board asking him to take up the matter of the reservation of million acres of land in the statehood bill-the pro- ceeds from the sale of the land to go to highway across the territory. He win endeavor to get the legislative board to take up the matter with congress so that such clause will be incorporated in the statehood bill. About seventy members of the house of representatives and soine thirty senators are members of the A A. A, so that recommendations from this as- sociation should have some weight. Governor Sloan has also been active in the same cause.

CLOTHES AND CHARACTER.

Long ago the wise woman learned that clothes often tell tales as to character. And of sll the tale-bear- ing clothes none can equal the dresses woman. wears about the house in Gould in Woman's Home Companion for January.
 Do you take pride in your home and are YOU willing to work yourself to al- ways keep it it's shining best? Then. let vour clothes, which you wear in he morning when you are busy about the home duties, indicate these char aeterist'cs of yours most plainly To- day there is no excuse for woman not 10 look neatly and tastefully dressed in the morning. There are so mary raaterials, for her to choose froid winch launder to perfection and wear well. too. And there are So many designs specially created for morning wear that she need have no diff -ulty suit;ng her own individua, preference. -.-
 Two-piece sGios ses-r for morning wear are quite as much the vogue as the e-piece dress. Many of them. hcsyerer. have. the princess effect. though they consist of a separate '. aist and. skirt, fer the belt which is made Of. the same fabric is joined to the skirt, thus giving the costume ef- feet. The separate belt, made of rih- bon or elastic belting in contrasting shade from the dress is not as good style as it used to be. though with the shirtwaist suit. the black belt will never be wholly discarded.

An old soldier. late an inmate of the home at Sawtelle. Cal, is haunt ing the offices of the sheriff and the district attorney. asking for official action against a woman who is not now here and whose whereabouts are yelled in mystery. The old man thinks that she may have gone to Los Angeles, to take part in aviation week. as she is something of flyer But. at any rate. the officials do not think they can find Il place to head in T'
 The old man is past seventy, small and crippled He came here he said, last week with this woman. whom he had picked up. in Los Angeles He had $700, an accumulation of pensions. and to prove te the woman that he believed in her. he made her the GUS todian of his funds.
 : They had quarters at a lodging house. Room No. 15.'' which. when he returned to it on Saturday night he found empty His confidence and his money had been misplaced. and he was left without dollar | He ascertained that a woman who looked like his companion had gone out on the south bound train.
 D The old soldier did not report his loss until the next day, and after his story had been told. he was taken to the district attorney. who. said that he could see nothing to be done. in- asmuch as both the woman. and the money were beyond reach Beside the old mans narrative of the man. uer in which. the money had passed into the keeping of his lady friend was not explicit.

RESERVOIR FACTS
 AlL MAY GLORY N
Construction Has Practically Reached ths Point Where the Elements
 May Be Defied.

The water in the Roosevelt reser- voir has reached approximately the 10S-foot level. which means that there is no win storage about 10000 acre feet of water. The construction of the dam is proceeding with dispatch. it now being 160 feet high at the lowest place. or 5e feet above the present water level. Construction is proceeding at the. rate of about ten feet per month. and every foot Of construction means a wonderful in crease of storage capacity over the preceding foot The present capacity at the night of 160 feet is 500.000 acre feet, or considerably more than three and half times the amount now in storage. so it will take a real flood of torrential character to fill the basin even to the point of its present capacity.
 By the first of March. or before. the dam should be .175 feet high in the lowest place, and have a storage capacity of 670.000 acre feet. or nearly five times the quantity of water now in storage. It is not expected that there will be any flood that will catch up with construction. and top the dam. interfering with. the further lay ing of masonry. though such thing would be possible perhaps if it should come within a very few days and come big enough. say f50.0e0 to 200.- 900 second feet, at a time. as 1t has been know to do once or twice. But even then it would have to last for perhaps couple of days at very high mark. e-
 But unless such a flood should come soon. there will be positively no chance of topping the dam. for in addition to the storage, the spillway on the north side will shortly be sufficiently far advanced to, handle a flood, carry ing the water around the structure There is therefore not one chance ir a good many that the water can agair top the dam. and after a month il will be an absolute impossibility. un- less the flow exceeds all former floof records. There is now an ample SUD- ply of water to absolutely insure the
