the girl and he told her Of all his
trials and trihulations and how he
hoped to recoup his losses and finally
succeed.
About this time in the lean year
Of the young mans career he received
a shock-the biggest of his life. There
came the sudden announcement that
the girl had married ANOTHER man
somewhat older than herself, but
who had considerable OF this world S
goods.
The Tilted youth was stunned; and
for q little while he found il was al
most impossible to proceed, since the
object of his determination to win
had gone: the motive was no longer
there. and it looked impossible for
him to pick up the threads of things.
He couldn't understand 1t. He blam-
ed himself, He should not have ex-
peeted her to wait so long. How he
suffered!
Yet, as he was young, day came
when he did so at his work again,
only because there was nothing else
to do, To make a long fable short,

THIS MAY ENTERTAIN
MARRYING MONEY

Once upon a time there was a
Young man and a young woman.
They lived some miles from a great
city. They met in the heydey of
youth, loved each other and wanted
to marry. But there was one draw
blackjack of money.
The young man was ambitious
and wanted to make good--for but
one reason-he wanted to gain
wealth for her.
She seemed to crave IT, She long
ed for the pretty dresses and the
lovely homes she had heard so much
about in the great city. In her i'm
agination she pictured herself. when
married mistress not only of the heart
Of man, but home Of some pre-
tentions.
The reason this girl had such
dreams was that she was beautiful.
Now, this boy Of modest means low

happy, too. So he said to the girl;
Il will 90 away to the big city and
VIII work. I will work 80 hard

for you and just what you picture #.

you may be sure will win. For
haven't I YOU to think about every
minute. and how glad you will be at
my success? 1t may take consider
able time, but then all our hardships
win be over"
This young man had nerve and
backbone, He came to the big city,
secured a lowly position at first, but
he had determination to go forward.
In the early days he denied himself
and pinched and saved to gather to-
getner a little capital. From this be-
beginning he embarked in small en-
terprise and then he began to grow.

NOT LIKE NAPOLEON'S
DAY

"a dispatch I + ON London
II states that British experts
tike the historical view of
the invincibleness of Russia on
account of vast distances and
lack of roads, transportation
facilities and food supplies for
man and beast. The Russians
make a desert behind their re
treating armies.
The historical view is not a
good guide in this war, declares
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The modern methods of war
fare have changed all military
traditions. Trietschke predict
ed that the next war would
differ from all other wars be-
cause it would be fought, not
by organized armies only, but
by organized and armed ma
tions with every citizen a SOL
dier and with all the resources
of the nation available for mil
itary use. He foresaw Ger
many's perfected national or
ganization and wonderful pre-
naredness as the model of fu-
ture warfare.
The German task of pene-
trating deeply into Russia is
gigantic and dangerous, but
their situation is not to be COM
pared to that of Napoleon.
Napoleon took an army into
Russia, depending upon Rus
sia's resources for forage and
Russian roads for the move
ment of his troops and the
transportation of guns and am
munition.
The Germans depend upon
themselves for supplies, roads
and transportation. They are
prepared for all contingencies.
They have sent into Russia not
only a vast army of soldiers,
but a proportionate army of
workers with materials for all
purposes. AS they move thev
build their own highways and
railroads on which to bring UP
their food supplies, guns and
ammunition. They carry their
own resources.
If the Germans suffer in
Russia it will be because they
cannot supply enough men to
overcome the Russian hordes,
The Russians NAV be able to
equip an army which will ex-

he SUCCEEDED even beyond his
hopes He was rich, very rich. A
longing came to 80 back TO the old
town. Perhaps he wanted a glimpse
OF tho girl He went He had an
other shock. The woman did not
love the man she married, and L
was common knowledge that the hus-
bands life was one of sadness and
sorrow because she DENIED him
THEaLOVE he thought was his

returned saw himself as in a looking

And the woman wanted to sever
the ties that bound her to go to this
man who had made good. She plead

the "only" one, etc But he who had

NO CHANCE THERE

M HERE is a news story
VI from Salem regarding
the alleged water power
conference to be held in Port
land in September and it states
the. Ferris bill will not be ia
vored by the delegates.
Of course it wont. Neither
will any other practical pro-
posal for the development of
the water power resources in
behalf of the people. 1t is the
firm conviction of the East
Oregonian that when that con-
ference is on any man attempt
ing to represent the interests
of the country as opposed to
the electric trust and its sub
sidiaries will have as much
chance as would a snow man
acting as fireman in Purgatory.
This conference was not
staged to help along the cause
of power development. 1t was
arranged to aid the electric in
terests in their lobby activities
against the administrations
power measure the purpose of
which is to give the government
a hold on power development
so the people may get at least
a small share of the benefits
justly due them.
For President Wilson and
Secretary Lane to work along
such lines as that is distressing
to the electric interests, their
skillful lawyers, their politici-
ans in office and out and their
bootwiping newspapers. If
the administration plan sue
ceeds the action will tend to
make public service the prim-
ary principle in power develop
ment-not huge private prof
its.
So some smooth work is be-
ing done to offset the efforts of
the administration. Ignorant
ly or otherwise the Oregon leg
islature was lined up in the
cause and next month the con-
ference will be held. There
need be no doubt as to what
will be done. Since it is their
game it may be taken for
granted they will pull the thing
off according to their liking.

NEW USE FOR MONEY

mLL know that money is an
II important factor in the
war but about the most
unusual report shows how Eu-
ropean currency is being used
to patch up the war cripples.
This is from a Paris paper;
Artificial arms and legs,
for which, because of the war,
there is now a great demand in
France, are made of a kind of
cardboard dough or paste.
This carton paste is provided to
a great extent by the Bank of
France. All the old notes of
the various denominations
from 5 to 1000 francs are de-
stroyed before some of the
high functionaries of the bank
and transformed into a pulp,
which is sold from time to
time to the makers of artificial
limbs. So it is that our glori-
pus ones who have been mutt
lated are able to say that each
artificial leg or arm represents
a fortune.
But all the money of Europe
will not be able to hide the
graves of the dead or restore
the broken homes made in the
last II months.

haust the German resources.
They will not be defeated be-
cause they cannot untilize the
resources they have or because
Russian cities are burned and
Russian stores of food destroy

Historical views of warfare
must be revised in the light of
modern methods, in the per-
fecting of which the Germans
have set the pace.
