wrote all the truth to Myra, with .
heavy heart telling her that he must
begin all over again, and they must
wait.
Two days went by but no word was
received that explained the sudden
departure Of Dale Vernon. Percival
went around to the mercantile house
for which Vernon had worked. Its
head was disturbed. almost anxious at
the summary disappearance Of val
ued employe.
Percival did not have the heart nor
will to expose his friend. He simply
left the impression that Vernon must
have had a sudden call home.

disappointment in my friends. he
wrote Myra. you remember what !

In wonder Lane Percival read
brief dispatch. 1t was dated at pom

my Manner repeated Percival

my Manner repeated Psrcival
vaguely.
There they are. and the man
handed Perciva . sheet OF paper and
Q check.
The latter was made out for $500
and signed by the missing Vernon.
The letter bore the initials OF the
same signature. and ran:
Dear Lane.
Il have q hurry call for funds. ready
cash. Urgent. A big thing. have
taken your money and leave you
check. Expect great news"
Slowly the truth began to dawn on
the startled Percival. He had cruelty
misjudged Vernon, for there was the
check, which with the letter had been
left on the window sill and had been
blown into the court. And that tele-
gram? What could have induced the
steady-going Vernon to plunge into
some venture Of speculation?
There was another summons at the
door of his humble room the next eve
ming. Some one tried the knob. Lane
Percival sprang to his feet with loud
ly beating heart. He had recognized
familiar footstep he had begun to
miss sorely.
He flung the door open widely. Then
he drew back. The open happy face,
the bluff hearty tone Of his friend, re-
turned, were a reproach that made
him shrink from the extended hand.
Il can't do it. Duke" he said. Il
have wronged you"
"Wronged me?" rang out the CHEEKY
tones of Vernon. when? How?"

THE LIBERTY BELL

m ULY IL will afford the
il people of Umatilla county
their first chance to see
the famous old Liberty Bell. 1t
may be their last chance since
the historic relic does not travel
save on very important occas-
ions.
Every American and every
Americanized foreigner has an
interest in the bell because
more than anything else it
stands as the symbol of Amer
ican liberty. 1t is the same old
bell that rang out in wild ac-
claim when the declaration of
independence was signed and
given to the world. 1t spoke
for freedom in the days when
it was necessary for men to
hang together or they would
hang separately" The bell
rang for political freedom and
the rights of man when to do so

COLORADO TRYING TO
SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM

DENVER, Colo. July "A semi
official attempt to solve the unem-
ployment problem was undertaken by
Governor Carlson when he appointed
committee to confer with state Of
ficials organizations and individuals
upon ways and means of providing
employment and administering relief.
An appeal from Trinidad for relief
for the starving miners resulted in
the governors appointment of F. J.
Radford, Trinidad; H. ]. Alexander,
Denver, and A. A. Reed, Boulder, on
q committee.
The three men have no state funds
to distribute. They are not authoriz-
ed to give out state employment.
However, they plan to approach
state aid as closely as the present
! law will allow. They will cooperate
with the state highway commission
in planning new Improvements which
viii afford jobs to hundreds. They
will urge and receive donations for
! unemployment relief, but no charity
will be extended except in the form OF
opportunities for employment.

DO THEY FEAR REPUDI.
ALTON?

-NEXT to the military oper-
ations in Europe the fl
nancial aspects of the
war are of Importance.
1t is already known that the
war is costing Europe someth-
ing like $50,000,00O a day.
Necessarily such expenses
make heavy load for the ma
tionS to bear and powerful as
the warning nations may be the
struggle cannot be financed
with ease.
The burden England has to
bear is reflected by the in
creased interest charges that
nation has to pay upon its war
loans. A proposal has just
been made for a British war
loan of $1,250,000,0OO at Az
per cent. What that means may
be seen when it is said that not
in 100 years have British con-
suls borne a higher interest
than 8 per cent. The last reduc-
ton was to two and a half per
cent. To secure war money
England must almost double
its interest rate.
In order to pay for war sup
plies in this country France
last week negotiated a $780,
100000 loan in New York
through the aid of England
The loan was secured through
Morgan & Co., and the lenders
required American railway
bonds as collateral.
What is the significance of
such a request on the part of
bankers? 1t would appear
that French and English war
bonds to the extent of S50,000,-
600 would be perfectly good,
yet reports state American Sc
curity was demanded.
Are money lenders fearful
the war will require such vast
expenditures some of the ma
tions may be unable to pay?
Do they share the idea that the
war may be followed by popu-
lar revolutions in Europe with
the result there may be repudi-
alton of debts incurred for pur.
poses of destruction?

TO GET OR NOT TO GET
NAAITHOUT question the
~ SaneSt suggestion made

AAAITHOUT question the
IL sanest suggestion made
regarding the o. & C,
grant lands is that by ex-Gov-
ernor West who advises a spe-
cial session of the legislature
to memorialize congress to turn
the lands over to the state on
payment of the $3.50 per acre
due the railroad company.
Yet all reports indicate the
suggestion will be refused.
Governor Withycombe is quot
ed as opposing the plan and
suggests instead that we ask
the federal government to sell
the lands and give the proceeds
to this state.
If the federal government
handles the sale of the grant
lands it will give the proceeds
to this state in a pigs eye." II
the United States has to go to
the trouble of buying the lands
from the railroad and of retail
ing them out to settlers it is a
foregone conclusion the feder-
al government will keep the
profits. To expect anything
different would be foolish.
As matters stand the West
plan offers the state of Oregon
fine prospect Of securing
S35, 100000 for the school
fund of the state. The Witty
combe plan offers a fine chance
not to get any such sum of
money for the state.
This matter is so important
to Oregon that the best thing
should be done even if the
scheme be proposed by a dem
ocratic democrat. We cannot
afford to sacrifice so much Just
to snub an ex-governor who
thinks what he thinks.

SRNNRSNNS
JUST TELL THE TRUTH

m bumper wheat crop ex-
'|d ceeding any in 80
years." says the Port
land morning paper describing
crop conditions in the north
west, and it further emphasizes
the falsehood with a cartoon
this morning.
Is such stuff as that due to
ignorance or design? If it is
ignorance it is high time the
Portland papers were getting
some truthful reports from the
inland empire.
There is too much of this
bumper crop business about the
time new crop wheat is ready
for the market. 1t causes the
impression there is big crop,
when there is no such outlook,
and serves to depress the price
at a very favorable time for the
buyers.
Just now it is particularly
unjust for the big papers to fol-
low such tactics unless it is
their purpose to submarine the
farmer. There is no outlook
for a bumper crop. In the last
10 days the grain crop has
been hit and badly hit. Ac-
cording to reliable farmers the
damage from the burn is the
worst in many years if not in
history. If other sections of the
northwest are like Umatilla
county it will be fortunate if
the crop is three fourths the
normal yield.
The truth should be told in
Portland and elsewhere. We
do not want prices based on
large production unless we get
the big yields. The farmers
are already facing a bad stu
