A GRIZZLIES NOVEL DEVICE.
Legless Man Gets Around in Patent
 ed Car Which is Ingenious in Design.

H. A. Watson, a legless man, created considerable attention on the streets today, due to the ingenious convey ance on which he wends his way. The vehicle is small fiat box-like affair in which Watson is strapped. On the bottom of the arrangement is a roller skate and Watson propels himself along by the use of his hands. The car can c.oss streets and go over curbs in surprising manner,
 Watson is selling safety first" pins and has done considerable business about the city. He expounds the theory that his pin will prevent per- sons from becoming crippies,. By wearing the pins their attention will always be on the subject of safety.
 Watson was formerly a travelling man for a commercial house. About two. years ago, while on his way from Buffalo. N. Y., to Erie, Penn, he was caught under an overturned automo- bile which so badly injured his legs as to necessitate the removal of one of them at the knee. The other has been useless since the accident.
 Being crippled in such a manner Watson was thrown on his own re- sources and was compelled to hustle for a living. He became interested in the safety first" idea when it was originated in New York and had the pins which he is selling made from his own iGea. He has met with con- sidera bIe success with the sale of them. Many times charity is offered but he always refuses it, as he does not care to depend on this method of getting a living.
 He is now on his way to New York where he expects to become afnliated with the Safety First" league.

NEW STEEL BARREL RIVALS
THE OLD GOAL oil" GAN

1.-THE worldwide fame of the old
Standard Oil 5-gallon kerosene can,
which has long been familiar sight
in practically every section of the
globe, seems in fair way to be du-
plicated by a 15-gallon steel barrel
which the Standard Oil Company
(California) recently adopted for the
convenience of its Zerolene custom
ers," said Col. E. H. Herrill Manager
Lubricating Oil Department for the
oil company, while calling on the To-
cal agent, Mr.. L. 3. Dewitt, recently.
"Salesmen's reports indicate that
these barrels are going like the pro-
verbal hot cakes. OF course they will
not be put to the various uses that
fall to the lot Of the coal oil can, be-
cause this barrel is made to be re-
filled, but from preset idlcatlons
these barrels will soon have made
their way to even the most remote
points where Zerolene is used"
The barrel in question is fitted
with a patent faucet and mounted on
stand, It makes an excellent garage
storage tank for motor oil. This fact,
and because motorists are fast &C
quiring the habit of buying automo-
bile supplies in quantity, accounts
for the remarkable popularity Of this
new Zerolene container.

Juniors are Given Advice by
Seniors How TO Conduct Selves

The faculty OF working" and "the
working OF the faculty" are the two
principal things for the coming crop
Of seniors at the high school to bear
in mind. according to Cecil Curl. to
whom was commissioned the task Of
advising the juniors at the recent
class day exercises. In his address he
said in part;
las truly as a ship without a crew
would drift helpless and be wrecked
at last on some rocky shore, so truly
would this high school have drifted
and been doomed had not the master
minds of the senior class been active
during the past year in shaping its
policies and directing Its activities. We
realize this and feel that loyalty to
the Pendleton high school demands
that We do our utmost to insure its
safety during the coming year.
with this as our motive, we are
taking this last opportunity to point
out to you members of the junior
class your shortcomings and lead you
to aspire to things which are noble
and becoming a senior. A close exam
nation of your record up to the pres
ent time reveals the fact that you
lack seriousness, and this in spite OF
the inspiring example the members Of
the present senior class have given
you. Your childish actions both in
the classroom and on the streets would
be far more becoming to kinder
garten pupil than to a high school
student. You should not hang
around in the halls, on the stairs and
in the phone room as you have been
doing. You should never take part
in the rude class scraps which the un-
derclasses indulge in, for you might
get some paint on your clothes and,
what is more, such things are not be-
coming to seniors.
For three years we have watched
you founder through your school
work day after day, the perfect per-
sonificatlon of ignorance. In fact tho
perfect happiness that you have
shown all this time has led us to be-
lieve that if ignorance is bliss you
