HITS FROM SHARP WITS.

A bare-faced lie uses no mask o.
hypocrisy.
An affable fellow is one who can
laugh at the same joke twice.
A good memory is great asset.
But why does it so orten persist on
dwelling on the fool things a fellow
has done?
Pessimism may be defined as that
form of restricted mental vision that
causes men to anticipate evils .ha;
do not happen.
The happiest man at the wedding
is generally the brides father who
rejoices that somebody else will have
to support her.
When a woman hires a new servant
she always hopes she'll have some IN
teresting gossip about the people she
worked for before.
If a woman forgets what she
wanted to buy when she goes down.
town to the store, she can always
think of something else ts purchase.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM

n T is significant that on the
very day of news of the
murder of Is Americans
by Mexican bandits an old line
United States senator introduc-
ed a resolution calling for arm
ed Intervention in Mexico.
Who knows but that a rela-
tionship exists between a Mex
lean faction that desires inter-
vention and a coterie of citi-
zens in this country who desire
the same thing? Who knows
but this ghastly tragedy was
enacted for the very purpose of
arousing American sentiment
so as to bring about interveh-
ton?
The reports are to the effect
the work was prompted by Viii
la and it is known Villa would
rather see American interven-
ton than submit to the Carran-
"a government. What would
be more natural than that he
should resort to just such
bloody chicanery as this in
hopes of causing Intervention?
Is it not time for this country
to keep its shirt on" and let
the administration work out
this problem without much
ranting from jingoes or those
who want to make political
capital out of the subject?
If the United States should
intervene would we not be
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-01-13

playing into the hands of Villa
and others by bringing about
the very state of affairs they
are working for?
On the other hand the situ-
alton is eNasperating and it is
easy to say we should send an
army into Mexico to pacify the
country and set up a stable gov
ernment.
We may vet have to inter.
vene but it is not a task to be
undertaken in haste. 1t would
cost this government many
millions of dollars. 1t would
cost hundreds and probably
thousands of good American
lives, If we send an army to
pacify Mexico the people down
there viii think we are trying
to steal their country and they
will resent it. The slaughter of
those 10 men a few days ago
viii become of small account
as compared with the uumer-
Gus maSSacres that will occur
if we intervene.
This is no subject for men
afflicted with political rabies.

JUDGING BY APPEAR
ANCES

- HAKESPERE said, THE
d apparel oft proelaims
the man." and he said
something that is as true in
1916 as it was in the days
when the bard of Avon was
writing Hamlet.
There are men and women
who spend too much money on
dress. They do not dress with
efficiency and are guided by
fashion rather than by sense
and taste.
But there are also men and
women who do not dress well
enough, They hurt themselves
not only with strangers but
with friends. Impressions are
formed on the basis of a per-
sons appearance and it is bad
Judgment to let people under
estimate you because you may
look sloppy or poverty strick-
EN- when you are not.
No sensible person will deny that
ii pays to present a good front, and
the presentation of good front de-
pends largely upon clothes. A favor
able first impression is often import
ant and favorable first impressions
are largely made by the clothes you
wear
You may wear real brains under a
rusty, dusty lid, but you must talk
that hat out of the business mans
mind before YOU can get his atten-
ton on the goods you have TO sell. A
good front often negotiates a loan or
lands an order. As small a thing as
soiled shirt OF a dusty collar has
condemned a caller before he opened
his mouth.
Then, again, there is a difference
between being well-dressed and being
a dude. Stop short of being a mere
fop. "Modesty'' is the keynote to good
taste in dress.
The man who must meet
people" cannot afford to over
look his personal appearance
and what is true of men is even
true of women.

ZIONIST CONVENTION NOTES

Arrangements for the Zionist Con-
vention that will be held in the Twin
Cities are proceeding we'll.
Advance information from Wisconsin
shows that an unusually large number
of delegates expect to come. From
Green Bay alone there are around a
dozen preparing to Invade" Minneapo-
lis-St. Paul.
Reservations for the banquet to be
held at the Radisson on Monday evening,
January 1, 1917, (and it is to be Kosher,
too) are coming in apace. Altho the
formal invitations have not yet been
sent out, so that would-be-b anqueters
really did not know whom to approach
for reservations, the number of plates
already reserved is gratifying All re-
quests for reservations may be sent to

The Lady Zionists of St. Paul, who
are relieving the Convention Committee
of all worry Except paying the bills)
of the Convention Dance, announce that
that enjoyable function will take place
in St. Paul on Saturday evening, De-
cember 80, at the Masonic Temple. The
Lady Zionists say that this dance will
be finer than any they have ever given
before. incidentally they say that even
if the ladies came only to receive the
handsome souvenir that is to be dis
tributed that evening, it will have been
quite worth while their coming.
Have you ever seen what the inside
of the Auditorium looks like at Zion
list mass-meeting? The Auditorium will
have a proud day on Sunday evening,
Cor shall we say proud night?) when it
throws it's portals open to the throngs
that will come to hear some of the most
eminent Jews we have to-day, expound
Zionism, and tell what Zionism has &C
complished.

 The travellers raised their eyes and saw a second figure standing with hands on hips staring at them from the distance. It was the slovenIy fig. ure of a woman. clad in a colorless and shapeless skirt and an equally shapeless jacket, which hung unbelted about her thick waist As she came slowly forward the girl began to take in other details. The woman was barefooted and walked with a sham. bling gait which made Juanita think of bears pacing their barred inclos. ures in zoo. Her face was hard and unsmiling. and the wrinkles about her eyes were those of anxious and lean years. but the eyes themselves were not unkind. Her lips were tight clamped on the stem of a clay pipe.

CHAPTER II.

The girl rose and made her way unsteadily to the back door and let herself in. She threw herself on the bed and lay there, rapidly thinking. It was obvious that her absence had not been commented upon. A few min utes later she heard the voice of Mrs. McNash singing out: You folks kin all come in an eat," and found her self, outwardly calm. making her way around to the shed addition which served jointly as kitchen and dining room.
 When she entered the place Fletch McNash was already seated, and saggej over his plate with the stupid inertia of dulled senses.
 Juanita found herself unaccount- ably eager to see the tall stranger whose voice had reassured her: who had appeared first as the Samaritan hrinsins home the helpless: then e

 After a moment of silence, through which Juanita Holland was painfully conscious of the quick beat of her own heart, she heard again the unexcited voice of the tall stranger. Now it was the capable tones of general officer giving commands.

DANGEROUS VARICOSE
VEINS CAN BE REDUCED

If you or any relative or friend is
worried because of varicose veins, or
punches, the best advice that anyone
in this world can give is to get a pre-
scription that many physicians are
now prescribing.
Ask your druggist for an original
two-ouce bottle of Emerald Oil (full
strength and apply night and morn
ing to the enlarged veins. Soon you
will notice that they are growing
smaller and the treatment should be
continued until the veins are of nor.
NAL size. So penetrating and power.
full is Emerald Oil that it dissolves
goitre and wens and causes them to
disappear. 1t can always be secured
