SHOULD SHE WEAR GLAssEs2

Dear Miss Libbey:
 I am teacher in the public school in this village. A gentleman he's been calling on me regularly for over a year and has often told me that he would never marry any other woman. Still he has never actually proposed in the regulation manner.
 Recently was obliged to put on glasses, my eyes being weak from study It seems to have made quite a change in -his regard for me. He refuses to go out with me if I wear them, declaring I look old enough in them to be his mother-a remark which deeply grieves me. Shall dis card them or continue to wear them, and stand the chance of losing him ? Kindly reply at your very earliest con venience. Thanking you in advance T am, Yours anxiousIy
 HELEN D.
 A man who would counsel you ito go against your own best interest, health and peace of mind is not in love with you. It is said that persist ent refusal to rest the poor, tired eyes by wearing glasses when they are ur-, gently needed has often resulted in to- tai blindness. It would be best to part from so heartless lover for all time.

 Probably the most unique relic of the civil war in existence today is the wonderful hand-printed newspaper, ssThe Old Flag which was the work of the late Captain William H. May of this city. .-The Old Flag was pub lished upon sheets Of Inruled paper, in imitation print, with a common steel pen and writing ink. By this slow process but one copy of each number could be issued at a time, which was then circulated through the camp and read aloud at the vari- ous cabins, by some member of the mess, and when all had read, or heard it read, it was returned to the office of publication. Dr. George l.. Porter, who writes the history of the old paper, says: The Old Flag was edited without scissors or paste print ed without type. movable or inamov-

COUNTY FAIRS GREAT
SURPRISE TO MANY
More Exhibits and Better Quality
This Year.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 6, 1914. (Spe-
ciaD-The past week has seen the
wind-up of practically all the county
fairs to be held in the state this sea-
son. More than three-quarters of the
counties in the state have had an ex-
hibit of some sort and in every in
stance the quality of the products
shown has been fully up to grade and
the staging of same has been better
than ever. At the state fair at Salem
last week there was probably the
most notable collection Of Oregon
fruits, grains, vegetables, live stock
and manufactured articles that has
ever been shown at one time in Ore
gon. Horses. cattle, swine, poultry,
sheep and pet stock of all kinds were
exhibited by practically every COM
munity in the state and the quality
and finish of the animals has never
been equaled.
One of the unusual features of the
state fair was the boys camp at
which were quartered the prize win
ners in the various county garden
contests. Under the direction of
Prof. w. A. Barr, of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College, these boys gave
an exhibition of stock Judging, TAX
ing as subjects the prize winning
COWS in the dairy section, and max
ing up full and complete report as
to the points of excellence possessed
to each animal, giving his reasons
for the decision also testing the milk
for butter fat and purity. These re-
ports were passed upon by the expert
judges of the dairy section of the
fair. The final prize winners in the
garden contest will receive as re-
ward one weeks free trip to the eX-
position at San Francisco next sum-
mpr.

DR.. CORA G. TALBOT
SUES LIQUOR INTERESTS
Wants $4,000 Damages From Lii
quor Campaign Managers
for Conspiracy.

DR.. Cora Talbot, who recently re-
signed as secretary Of the Taxpayers
and Wage Farmers League, and ex-
posed that organization as fake
gotten up by the liquor agents and
too rotten for her to be longer mixed
up with, has just filed suit at Port
land against A. M. Epstein, manager
of the wet campaign, for $4,000
damages.
The plaintiff alleges that the de-
PENDANTS entered into conspiracy
to ruin her character. Among the
charges made are that Eppstein de
coyed her into a room at the Imper~
ial Hotel and tried to get her drunk;
that the defendants circulated false
and defamatory stories concerning
her; that they employed detectives
and attempted to trap her into COM
mitting an abortion; and that Epp-
stein forged her name to numerous
letters soliciting funds, thereby OBJ
tanning large sums of money by false
pretenses.
The so-called Taxpayers and
Wage Earners League" was organiz-
ed by Abigail Scott Duniway and Dr..
Talbot to fight the dry amendment.
Mrs. Duniway was the "president"
and DR.. Talbot was the secretary.
The only address given on their let
terheads was BOX $50, Portland,
Oregon but this proved to be the
private box of Manager Eppstein of
the wet campaign.
DR.. Talbot resigned and exposed
the fake, alleging that she and Mrs.
Duniway were the only members of
the concern, and that it was only a
mask for the operation of the liquor
interests. She declared that it was
too crooked for her, and so she re-
signed

At High School.

With the opening of high school,
the new bunch of "Freshies" are be-
ing put through the regular course
of sprouts by the upper classmen.
A first class tussle took place in a
mud puddle in the lower end of town
one night last week. From reports,
we gather that the scrap was consid
cred draw, neither side having any
thing on the other. One of the low
er classmen, it is said, established a
new record for the 220 dash. The
"Frosh" are credited with having
taken the offensive in the early skir-
mishes.
Tennis is popular game for rec
reation at high school these nice
days. Ed Clark and "Bill' Crawford
are champions in the doubles.
The big is on the roof of the old
building looks very nice considering
the pattern the "Frosh" had to go
by, and some of the class of IA feel
somewhat aggrieved that their ex-
cellent handiwork of last year has
Deen spoiled.

CATTLE FOR FEEDERS
WILL Be HARD TO GET
Morrow County Dealer Has Travelled
Far and Finds Great Shortage.

That there will be a grave short
age in cattle for feeders this winter,
is the opinion expressed by w. u.
Ewing, extensive alfalfa grower of
Cecil.
Mr.. Ewing returned on Tuesday
from a trip into the interior country
where he went several weeks ago in
search of steers for feeders. He
travelled all through the Long Creek
and John Day sections and could
land nothing at all, so continued his
trip over into the Bear Valley and
Silvies Valley country, and finally
succeeded in getting together some
100 head of steers. He drove these
over to his mountain ranch at the
head OF Rhea creek where he will
keep them until about the first of
December and then move them to his
Cecil ranch to feed. This bunch of
cattle, Mr.. Ewing estimates, will feed
up about half of his alfalfa crop, and
the balance he will bale and ship to
the outside market.
Mr.. Ewing was forcibly impressed
with the fact that there is an extreme
shortage of cattle throughout the sec
tion he visited; there being prac-
tically none for SALE To be sure
there is cattle in that part of the
country, but the owners are not let
ting go and it would appear that our
alfalfa raisers are going to be shy of
stock to consume the surplus. In
Morrow and Umatilla counties, along
Willow creek and Butter creek there
will be sufficient feed for 5000 head
of cattle to top off for the market,
and in the opinion of Mr.. Ewing it
would be impossible to gather up 500
throughout the section he has Wis
tied.
Heavy frosts have already struck
the Harvey Valley country and Mr..
Ewing noted that feed was not near
ly so good over there as it is out this
way. Feed ON this side of the Blue
Mountains is now getting good, grass
is growing fine, and stock of all kinds
is fat and in excellent condition.

A man giving his name as Floyd
Williamson, stranger in these parts,

EARLY PIONEER PASSES
ATCOLLECE PLACE, E,WN.
Elihu B. Stanton Settled in Morrow
County in 189g-Was Ma
tive of Ohio and Was
Grand Army Man.

After an Hines of several years,
and finally pronounced to be cancer
of the stomach by his attending ply
sicians, Elihu 3. Stanton passed to
his reward at his home at College
Place, near Walla Walla, Washing
ton, on Wednesday, Sept. 80. Dur
ing all of his prolonged illness, Mr..
Stanton was a patient and uncom-
planning sufferer, and the later
months of his stay on the earth were
marked by intense suffering.
He was buried in Mountain View
Cemetery at Walla Walla, on Thurs
day, Oct. 1st, after funeral service
conducted at the undertaking parlors
of Cookery & Cantonwine, under the
auspices of the Womans' Relief
Corps, and the remains were borne
away to their last resting place by
the Grand Army of the Republic, of
which organization he was an hon
ored member.
Elihu B. Stanton was born in Lo-
,, gan County, Ohio, January goth,
1S47, and while yet child he moved
with his parents to Jefferson Coun-
ty, Iowa, where he grew to manhood.
On September 18th, 1870, he was
married to Mary ]. Fuqua in Jeffer-
son county. In 1882 he moved from
Iowa to Morrow county, where he
lived with his family on a farm in
the Eight Mile section until 1901,
when he moved to Walla Walla,
Wash, and later. in 1911 to College
Place, Wash, where he died at his
home on Sept. 80, 1914.

sides large number of relatives and
friends. the following members of his

man, Wash, and six sons, Harlan,
of Centralia, WASH, Chas. A. and
Omar, of Morrow County, Ore. and
Elbert, BENJAMIN and Clyde B., of
Walla Walla, Wash.
Mr.. Stanton was one of the pion-
eer residents of Morrow county, and
we'll known to the people here among
whom he lived for so many years,
and his parting is felt as direct loss
to our people. He took up home
stead and timber culture claims in
the Eight Mile country in 1882 and
helped to convert that section from
a wilderness into a prosperous farm
ing country, and he was rewarded
for the faithful work done by seeing
his land become productive to the ex-
tent that he was able to retire after
a number of years to more pleasant
surroundings. He was good farm
er and the Stanton farm has long
been counted among the very best of
the Eight Mile country.
His farm is now owned by his
son, CnaS. A. VINO LOOK the place over
after the retirement of his father
and purchased it from him a few
years ago.
Mr.. Stanton was a man of force
and possessed sterling character He
will long be remembered by the peo-
pie of this county as having been one
of our foremost citizens.
All the members of his family
were present at the funeral, as was
also Mrs. Fred Ashbaugh, a niece,
of Hardman, and Mr.. e. C. Ash
baugh, of Portland, whose former
wife was a daughter of Mr.. Stanton,
