PROPOSED BIRD
LIFE LEGISLATION
Smith Afraid Tariff Bill will XIII Leg.
isIation For Protection Of
Bird Life.

Congressman Smith expressed him
self today as apprehensive that the
proposed legislation for the protection
OF bird life will be failure because
OF the action of the Senate Committee
In modifying the provision which has
passed the House as part OF the tar
iff bill. He said: "Out of Difference
to the earnest entreaties of the wom
ems clubs over the United States
the House of Representatives adopted
a provision in the tariff bill prohibit.
ing the importation of "Aigrettes,
egret plumes or the feathers, quills,
heads, wings, tails, either raw or
manufactured" of birds of plumage,
with a view Of their preservation
throughout the world. The Commit
tee on Finance of the Senate, how
ever, In reporting the bill have per-
mitted the lobby maintained here by
the feather importers to influence
them to the extent of amending the
provision so as to except from the
operation of the proposed law "The
feathers or plumage of birds COM
monty recognized as edible Or pestif-
rous' which will admit into this
country the feathers or plumage of
practically every species of bird in
the world, as at present Unless the
women of the country and others in
terested in bird life acquaint their
Senators with their wishes and pub
lie sentiment, in favor of the provis-
ions which passed theHouse the prob
abilities are that the proposed amend
ment will be adopted in the Senate
and the protection which is desired
to be given to bird life will be fail
ure
1t is singular fact that practically
the entire press of the country is op-
posed to the importation of feathers
or plumes of birds for millinery pur-
poses as are practically all of the
women's clubs, associations organized
for the conservation of wild life, and
state game commissioners Notwith-
standing this fact the provision in
the tariff law gas been so amended
as to practically annul the proposed
legislation

PLAN NOW FOR YOUR VACATION
All Work and No Play
Makes Jack a Dull
Boy.

The harvest season in the North.
west will soon come to an end and
the busiest season of all the year
for majority of our people will have
passed, and 1t will be an opportune
time to take that much needed va.
cation. Certainly everyone is enti-
tled to a week of pleasure of every
year, and in planning a vacation two
question always arises: Where shall
We go" and Where can we get the
most for our money -
This year the problem is easily
solved for it seems that Walla Walla,
Washington, has the most to offer
in the big Walla Walla County Fair
and Frontier Days exhibition. The
former will be held during the entire
week OF September 1927 and the
latter on September 25, 26 and a..
This means that for six consecutive
days there will be something of more
than ordinary interest in the Garden
City.
The Frontier Days exhibition will
be all the name implies-a real wild
west show with twenty-six events
each day, each one of which will be
thrilling and interesting. There will
be excitement from the crack of the
opening shot until the last perform
ance is completed There will be
many bucking horses that will buck,
cowboys and cowgirls that can ride.
There will be races for Indians, cow
boys, cowgirls, squaws, and wild
horse races; cattle will bel bulldogged
Tex McCloud will throw the strong
est bull without touching the lariat
with hands; there will be cowboy
relay races, stage coach races and
chariot races. Trick and fancy riding
and roping will be depicted by real
experts, both men and women. Lu-
cille Mulhall, champion lady rider of
the world, will delight all that see
her. Jason Stanley will appear in
his famous drunken ride. In fact the
entire program will be the best that
can be secured at any price. Many
notable performers are under con-
,ract to appear and the management
s spending 100000 to make the
exhibition a success. The Frontier
Days parade will be one of the great
,st novelties ever witnessed by peo-
,le of the present generation as 1t
will include everything that ever
to the west. Stage coach
D, trappers, miners, old wagons,
'ack trains, immigrants and over 500
,irl riders. Hundreds of Indians will
AXE part and will be camped on the
rounds in Indian village style.
The Walla Walla County Fair will
urpass all previous attempts along
his line, $25, 100000 being given in
remiums and purses and the exhib-
ts will include everything that
rows and every kind of live stock.
! splendid feature is the Childrens
Industrial Exhibit. Every boy and
irl should secure the special cata-
Dgue pertaining to this feature. This
'ook can be had by writing r. H.
ohnson, Secretary Fair Association,

At the hour of its birth. from
rich dover Of jewels and gold.
Upon its fair bosom bright flowers strewn
Great forests adorned Its fair hills;
The valleys clad with verdure coon
Was made glad with the singing Of rils.
Upborne on its shoulders far to the north
Sat jewell Of fairest hue
Bright Gem of the Mountans". flashing far north

Far to the south lies bright sunny strand

That said to the Gem" in the far north land:
"You may your beauties unfold"
But day, far down in that southland fair.
Met two in loving embrace.
The Gem shown down that rare
While glad triumph from her face.
The tramp Of the untold millions is heard
Myriad voices lifted In song;
The heart Of a mighty nation stirred.
In the grip OF a 10Y awaited long.
Tis Idaho that sings the sweet lay;
For the tramp, tramp, tramp Of the busy throng.
That awaits the fair ocean g wedding day,
To fill this brightest land song
A double wedding thus behold
The best DER which flag unfurled;
The rosy East to the bright western god
And Idaho to the marts of the world

tim of eyestrain of other eve weakness?
If so. you will be glad to know that
there is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had
their eyes restored through the princi-
pie of this wonderful free prescription.
One man says after trying it: Il was
almost blind; could not see to read at
all. Now | can read everything without
any glasses and my eyes do not water
any more. AT night they would pain
dreadfully: now they feel fine all the
was like a miracle to me-" A lady who
used it says. THE atmosphere seemed
hazy with or without glasses, but after
using this prescription for fifteen days
everything seems clear. / can even read
fine print without glasses" 1t is believ-
can now discard them in a reasonable
time and multitudes more will be able
to strengthen their eyes, so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions maye be wonderfully bene-
fitted by following the simple rules.
Here is the prescription: Go to any ac-
tive drug store and get a bottle of Optic
ma, to fill a two ounce bottle with warm
water, drop in one DIPLOMA tablet. and
allow to dissolve. With this liuid battle

should notice your eyes clear up percep-
tab'y right from the start and inflamma
ton will quickly disappear. If your
eyes are bothering you even a little take
steps to save them now before it is too

been saved if they had cared for their
eyes in time

PAINT?

There are two goods reasons for paint

to look prosperous; two, to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or gives
one more credit than paint, supplement-
ed of course by what goes with it and
paint costs nothing.
True. the first cost is s. or Sc a gal
