HANDSOME BOOKPLATE IS
PURCHASED FOR LIBRARY
BOOKS BOUGHT BY STURGIS
FUND WILL BE MARKED IN
FITTING STYLE.

OF interest to the public generally
as well as TO the regular patrons OF
the library is the purchase of a beau
aiful bookplate by the library board
for the purpose Of marking the books
bought by the legacy left the library
by the late Mr.. S. p. Sturgis.
Primarily a bookplate is label to
paste on the inside corner of a book
to denote ownership. The use Of
bookplates is of ancient origin and it
is a fascinating custom about which
long shelves of books have been writ
ten. Nothing delights a true book
lover more than this appropriate and
elegant way of marking his books.
The plate just received at the IL
brary is in classic design with these
words in old English lettering: "Tht
Samuel p. Sturgis Fund, the Pendle'
ton Public Library" The work Is
done on the best copperplate and vii
remain the property Of the library foi
all time.
The books purchased with the Stur
I gis Fund are always the best posi-
I bic selections OF biography. history
literature and books for general ref
( erence work.

BEDS WILL START TUESDAY

private houses available for guests at
the Roundup will commence this
week, Dean Tatom, director of ac-
commodations. planning to start the
work tomorrow With barely more
than two weeks remaining until the
opening OF the big annual show, re-
quests are already pouring in for
rooms and Mr.. Tatom anticipates
that the hospitality of the people OF
Pendleton will again need to assert It.
self in liberal response to the de.
mand for accommodations.
Headquarters will be opened al
once in the Berkeley offices in the
East Oregonian building and a force
of assistants put to work assigning
rooms and answering inquiries. The
same general plan OF handling the
crowd that has been used In the pas
will be employed again this year. The
prices for rooms will be held dowr
to a dollar for single bed and two
dollars for a double bed. prices thai
will remunerate the housewife for hel
trouble and yet not seem exorbitan
to the visitor. The rooms will b'
paid for in advance just as soon al
they are assigned.
Mr.. Tatom declares there will b.
rooms for everyone who comes for
from past experience, he believes thu
residents will list their rooms just a
freely as in the past.

Crowds on Motor Car

The popularity OF the Pendleton-
Umatilla motor car seems to be es-
tablished. judging from the crowds
which come and go on that carrier.
Its schedule is so arranged that resi-
dents of the west end of the county
can come to the county seat, transact
business and return on the same day
without having to get up early or go
to bed late. on Saturdays in partic-
ula, the accommodations of the car is
taxed to the utmost. Last Saturday
on its return trip, the passengers sal
three in a seat and the aisles were
crowded with standing people like an
urban street car.

Two men. believed to be demented,
We're arrested by the police during
the weekend. Saturday evening Chief
Kearney was summoned to East Rail-
road street near the Burroughs mill
where a man giving the name Of Joe
Snider was frightening children by
pointing a stick at them. On his way
to the station he accosted two young
girls in an insulting manner. Robert
Greenstreet, a well known farm Ia
borer who has already been in the
asylum twice. was picked up yester-
day at the Carney & Bradley stables,
his actions indicating that his mind
had become unbalanced again. Both
men will be examined by the county
physician.

Find Roundup Well Advertised.

F. NJ. Early and II. W. Mcqueen of
Portland, representatives of the
Bankers Mortgage Co, whose busi-
ness takes them over the northwest,
were in Pendleton Saturday and an
nounced their intention of being here
for the anual Roundup. They de-
clared that wherever they go they
hear of the Pendleton Roundup and
consider it the best advertised show
in the United States. Recently they
were in Miles City, Montana. which
holds a wild west entertainment but
they declare that the residents of that
city informed them that If they hadn't
seen the Pendleton Roundup they
hadn't seen a real frontier show.

French messages, that the kaiser's
forces had suffered a check in north

statement that reinforcements had

to the allies and incidentally that an
urgent summons had come from the
eastward for more men to oppose the
Russian invasion.

It is Of equal consequence that the
nations whom Europe has usually sup
piled with innumerable articles of man
ufacture and commerce Of which they
are in constant need and without which
their economic development halts and
stands still can now get only a small
part Of what they formerly imported
and eagerly look to us to supply their
all but empty markets. This is partic-
uiarly true of our own neighbors, the
states. great and small. Of Central and
South America. Their lines of trade

1t is a very practical matter, a mat.
ter of ways and means. We have the
resources. but are we fully ready To
use them? And, If we can make ready
what we have, have we the means at
hand to distribute It? We are NOT
fully ready; neither have we the means
Of distribution. We are willing, but
we are not fully able. We have the
wish to serve and to serve greatly, gen.
erously. But we are not prepared as
we should be. We are not ready to
mobilize our resources at once. We are
not prepared to use them Immediately
and at their best, without delay and
without waste.
To speak plainly, we have grossly
erred in the way in which we have
stunted and hindered the development
OF our merchant marine. And now.
when We need ships. we have not got
them. We have year after year debat-
ed. without end or conclusion, the best
policy to pursue with regard to the
use of the ores and forests and water

rich states Of the west, when we
should have acted, and they are still
